Answer:

x = -10

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1) +5 = 2x -2

Distribute the 3 to the x+1

3x+3 +5 = 2x -2

Combine like terms

3x + 8 = 2x -2

Subtract 2x from both sides

x + 8 = -2

Subtract 8 from both sides

x = -10

Hope this helps!

Answer:

x=-10

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+1)+ 5=2x- 2

Distribute the 3

3(x+1)+ 5=2x- 2 would equal

3x+3+5=2x-2

Combine like terms

3x+3+5=2x-2

3+5=8 So,

3x+8=2x-2

You want to get the numbers with x on one side

Subtract 8 on both sides to get 3x by itself

3x+8-8=2x-2-8

3x=2x-10

Then you have to get the 2x on the other side because you still want x on the other side so you do -2x on both sides

Which gives you

x=-10

That is your answer

The quadratic equation ax^2+32x+c=0 has exactly one solution. If a+c=130, and a>c, find the ordered pair (a,c).

vitfil [10]

Ie 32^2 - 4ac=0 so ac=256 and a+c=130
So, that means:2 equations ac=256 a+c=130 ie c=130-a
So,a(130-a)=256 so 130a -a^2=256 ie a^2-130a +256=0 (a-2)(a-128)=0
Finally,giving a= 2 or a=128 so, a=2 c=128 or a=128 c=2
Since, a>c , a=128 and c=2 ie (128,2)

Write -12 7/8 as a decimal. (NEED ASAP WITH WORK)

seropon [69]

7/8 can be converted to .875 because 1/8 is .125 and .125*7=.875. Add -12 to it so the answer is -12.875

The radius of a right circular cone is increasing at a rate of 1.5 in/s while its height is decreasing at a rate of 2.1 in/s. At

givi [52]

Answer:

The volume of the cone is changing at a rate of approximately 8670.796 cubic inches per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the volume of the right circular cone ( $V$ ), in cubic inches, is defined by the following formula:

$V = \frac{1}{3}\cdot \pi \cdot r^{2}\cdot h$ (1)

Where:

$r$ - Radius, in inches.

$h$ - Height, in inches.

Then, we derive an expression for the rate of change of the volume ( $\dot V$ ), in cubic inches per second, by derivatives:

$\dot V = \frac{1}{3}\cdot \pi \cdot (2\cdot r\cdot h \cdot \dot r + r^{2}\cdot \dot h)$ (2)

Where:

$\dot r$ - Rate of change of the radius, in inches per second.

$\dot h$ - Rate of change of the height, in inches per second.

If we know that $r = 120\,in$ , $\dot r = 1.5\,\frac{in}{s}$ , $h = 107\,in$ and $\dot h = -2.1\,\frac{in}{s}$ , then the rate of change of the volume is:
