Answer:

b = 10

Explanation:

Lets start by combining like terms (b):

3/2b + 1/5b

to combine these fractions you must get them to both have the same denominator:

3/2 · 5/5 = 15/10     multiply top and bottom by other fractions denominator

1/5 · 2/2 = 2/10       multiply top and bottom by other fractions denominator

15/10 + 2/10 = 17/10

17/10b = 17

Now we want to get the b to be by itself, so lets first multiply both sides by 10:

17b = 170

Now lets divide both sides by 17:

b = 10

Hope this helped!

3/2b + 1/5b = 17

Multiply both sides by the LCD.  The LCD is 2 * 5 = 10.

10 * 3/2b + 10 * 1/5b = 10 * 17

15b + 2b = 170

17b = 170

b = 10

kumpel [21]
A square is basically two triangles put together and since a square has four right angles you can use the Pythagorean Theorem to do this.

A squared +b squared <24
5 squared x 5 squared = 25

Sooooooo...... ;)

Solve the equation by factoring. 2x^2 + 15x + 25 = 0
Pepsi [2]

Answer:(2x+5)(x+5)=0

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2+15x+25=0

Factorise we have

2x^2+10x+5x+25

(2x^2+10x)+(5x+25)=0

2x(x+5)+5(x+5)=0

(2x+5)(x+5)=0

elena55 [62]

Answer:

  f(x) = 0.15x +25

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given two points:

  (x, y) = (180, 52) or (350, 77.50)

The slope is given by ...

  m = (y2 -y1)/(x2 -x1)

  m = (77.50 -52)/(350 -180) = 25.50/170 = 0.15

The y-intercept is given by ...

  b = y -mx

  b = 52 -0.15×180 = 25

Then the equation for the linear function is ...

  f(x) = mx +b

  f(x) = 0.15x +25
