Robert needs to cut four shelves from a board that is 2.5 meters long. The second shelf is 18 cm longer than twice the length of

g100num [7]

STEP 1:
convert meters to centimeters
100 cm= 1 meter

= 100 cm/m * 2.5 m
= 250 cm

STEP 2:
x= length of first shelf
2x+18= length of second shelf
x-12= length of third shelf
x+4= length of fourth shelf

since the whole board has to be used, add lengths of all shelves and set it equal to the whole length of the board (250 cm).

x + (2x+18) + (x-12) + (x+4)= 250 cm
combine like terms
5x + 10= 250
subtract both sides by 10
5x= 240
divide both sides by 5
x= 48

STEP 3:
find length of second shelf
= 2x + 18
= 2(48) + 18
= 114 cm

CHECK:
x + (2x+18) + (x-12) + (x+4)= 250
48 + (2(48)+18) + (48-12) + (48+4)= 250
48 + (96+18) + 36 + 52= 250
48 + 114 + 36 + 52= 250
250= 250

ANSWER: Shelf two is 114 cm.

Hope this helps! :)

Does anyone from 7th grade and higher know this

zepelin [54]

We can combine thos fraction ssince same denomenator
$\frac{3y}{7}+ \frac{1}{7}= \frac{3y+1}{7}$

so
$\frac{3y+1}{7}= \frac{3}{7}$

times both sides by 7
3y+1=3
minus 1 both sides
3y=2
divide both sides by 3
y=2/3

Given f(x)=x^2+2x+3 and g(x)=x+4/3 solve for f(g(x)) when x=2

Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{f(g(2)) \:=\:\frac{187}{9}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are provided with the following functions:

f(x) = x² + 2x + 3

$\displaystyle\mathsf{ g(x)\:=\:x+\frac{4}{3} }$

The given problem also requires to find the Composition of Functions, f(g(x)) when x = 2.

The <u>Composition of Function</u> <em>f</em> with function <em>g</em> can be expressed as ( <em>f ° g </em>)(x) = f(g(x)). In solving for the composition of functions, we must first evaluate the <em>innermost</em> function, g(x), then use the output as an input for f(x).

<h2>Solve for f(g(x)) when x = 2:</h2><h3><u>Find g(x):</u></h3>

Starting with g(x), we will use x = 2 as an <u>input</u> value into the function:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{ g(x)\:=\:x+\frac{4}{3} }$

$\displaystyle\mathsf{ g(2)\:=\:(2)+\frac{4}{3} }$

Transform the first term, x = 2, into a fraction with a denominator of 3 to combine with 4/3:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{ g(2)\:=\:\frac{2\: \times\ 3}{3}+\frac{4}{3} }$

$\displaystyle\mathsf{ g(2)\:=\:\frac{6}{3}+\frac{4}{3}\:=\:\frac{6+4}{3}}$

$\displaystyle\mathsf{ g(2)\:=\:\frac{10}{3} }$

$\displaystyle\mathsf{Therefore,\:\: g(2)\:=\:\frac{10}{3} }$

Next, we will use $\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{10}{3}}
$ as input for the function, f(x) = x² + 2x + 3:

f(x) = x² + 2x + 3

$\displaystyle\mathsf{f\Bigg (\frac{10}{3}\Bigg)\:=\:x^2 \:+ 2x\:+\:3}$

$\displaystyle\mathsf{f\Bigg (\frac{10}{3}\Bigg) \:=\:\Bigg (\frac{10}{3}\Bigg)^{2}\:+ 2\Bigg(\frac{10}{3}\Bigg) \:+\:3}$

Use the <u>Quotient-to-Power Rule of Exponents</u> onto the <em>leading term </em>(x²):

$\displaystyle\mathsf{Quotient-to-Power\:\:Rule:\:\: \Bigg(\frac{a}{b}\Bigg)^m\:=\:\frac{a^m}{b^m} }$

$\displaystyle\mathsf{f\Bigg (\frac{10}{3}\Bigg) \:=\:\Bigg (\frac{10\:^2}{3\:^2}\Bigg)\:+ 2\Bigg(\frac{10}{3}\Bigg) \:+\:3}$

Multiply the numerator (10) of the middle term by 2:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{f\Bigg (\frac{10}{3}\Bigg) \:=\:\Bigg (\frac{100}{9}\Bigg)\:+ \Bigg(\frac{20}{3}\Bigg) \:+\:\frac{3}{1}}$

Determine the <u>least common multiple (LCM)</u> of the denominators from the previous step: 9, 3, and 1 (which is 9).
Then, transform the denominators of 20/3 and 3/1 on the <u>right-hand side</u> of the equation into like-fractions:

$\displaystyle\mathsf{\frac{20}{3}\Rightarrow \:\frac{20\:\times\ 3}{3\:\times\ 3} =\:\frac{60}{9}}$
