Answer:

C. 2y = (2x-1)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is linear when the exponents of the variables are 1 and the sum of the exponents of the variables in any term is 1.

a) 3xy = 4 . . . . sum of exponents is 1+1=2

b) f(x) = 2/3(1 -x^2) . . . . exponent is 2

c) 2y = (2x -1)/4 . . . . all exponents are 1 (linear)

d) y = 3/(x+1) ⇒ xy +y = 3 . . . . sum of exponents is 1+1 = 2

A cuboid with a volume of 924cm^3 has dimensions 4cm, (x+1)cm and (x+11). Show clearly that x^2+12x-220=0 solve the equation by

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

$x^2+12x-220=0$ -- Proved

$x = 10\ \ \ x = -22$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$Volume = 924cm^3$

$Dimension: 4cm; (x+1)cm; (x+11)cm$

Required

Show that $x^2+12x-220=0$

The volume is calculated as:

$4 * (x + 1) * (x + 11) = 924$

Open the brackets

$(4x + 4) * (x + 11) = 924$

$4x^2 + 44x + 4x + 44 = 924$

$4x^2 + 48x+ 44 = 924$

Collect Like Terms

$4x^2 + 48x+ 44 - 924=0$

$4x^2 + 48x -880=0$

Divide through by 4

$\frac{4x^2}{4} + \frac{48x}{4} -\frac{880}{4}=0$

$x^2+12x-220=0$

Solving further:

Expand the expression

$x^2 + 22x - 10x - 220 = 0$

Factorize:

$x(x + 22) - 10(x + 22) = 0$

$(x - 10)(x + 22) = 0$

Split:

$x - 10 = 0;\ \ \ x + 22 = 0$

$x = 10\ \ \ x = -22$

Rachel uses 1/3 cup of oil for every cake she bakes. If she used 4 cups of oil one day, she made __ cakes. If she used 2 cups of

Leno4ka [110]

First answer: 12

Second answer: 6

=================================================

How to get these answers

She uses 1/3 of a cup for 1 cake, so we have this ratio

1/3 cup : 1 cake

Multiply both sides by 3 and we end up with

1 cup : 3 cakes

Then multiply both sides by 4 to change "1 cup" to "4 cups" and we have

4 cups : 12 cakes which is the answer to the first part

-------------

For part 2, we'll follow the same steps as before, but instead of multiplying both sides by 4, we do 2 instead because we're dealing with 2 cups of oil.

1/3 cup : 1 cake

3*(1/3 cup) : 3*(1 cake)

1 cup : 3 cakes

2*(1 cup) : 2*(3 cakes)

2 cups : 6 cakes which is the answer to the second part
