No it's 2.125 so it's not repeating

17/8 = 2.125 which has the decimal portion terminate or stop. This is not a repeating decimal. This is a terminating decimal.

The denominator 8 can be factored into 2*2*2. Since 2 is the only factor, this means that the decimal terminates. The same rule applies if 5 is present as a factor. If the denominator has other numbers (other than 2 or 5) as factors, then the decimal would repeat in some fashion.

Solve 6(x+1)3−10=740

Vera_Pavlovna [14]

Answer:

x=122/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

6(x+1)(3)−10=740

18x+18+−10=740(Distribute)

(18x)+(18+−10)=740(Combine Like Terms)

18x+8=740

Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides.

18x+8−8=740−8

18x=732

Step 3: Divide both sides by 18.

18x

732

122

x= 122/3

What is the solution of

loris [4]

Answer:

x = -1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

1-3x = x+3

Add 3x to each side

1-3x+3x = x+3x+3

1 = 4x+3

Subtract 3 from each side

1-3 = 4x+3-3

-2 = 4x

Divide each side by 4

-2/4 = 4x/4

-1/2 =x

Draw at least six different sized rectangles that have an area of 64 square units

olga_2 [115]

Let

x------> the length of the rectangle

y------> the width of the rectangle

we know that

The area of a rectangle is equal to

$A=x*y$

$A=64\ units^{2}$

$x*y=64$ --------> equation 1

let's assume different values of x to get the different values of y

case 1) For x=64 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/64$

$y=1\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 64 units x 1 unit

see the draw in the attached figure N 1

case 2) For x=32 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/32$

$y=2\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 32 units x 2 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 2

case 3) For x=16 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/16$

$y=4\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 16 units x 4 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 3

case 4) For x=30 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/30$

$y=\frac{32}{15} =2\frac{2}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 30 units x 2 (2/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 4

case 5) For x=40 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/40$

$y=1.60\ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 40 units x 1.60 units

see the draw in the attached figure N 5

case 6) For x=60 units

substitute in the equation 1

$x*y=64$

$y=64/x$

$y=64/60$

$y=\frac{16}{15} =1\frac{1}{15} \ units$

the dimensions of the rectangle are 60 units x 1 (1/15) units

see the draw in the attached figure N 6
