Fraction division is basically multiplication of a reciprocal.

For example (1/4)/(1/8) = (1/4)x(8/1)=2

Multiplication of the answer and the piece that divides (in this case 2 x 1/8), you should get the piece that is being divided (in this case 1/4). If that is correct, then your division is correct.

Division and multiplication are inverse operations. This means they "undo" each other. You can check your answer by multiplying the quotient by the divisor. You should get the dividend.

If there are 4 trucks then the first truck weighs x
then x+2tons
then x+4tons
then x+6tons = 32tons
so 4x+12=32
         -12   -12
     /4         /4
x=5 
so plug it back in 
truck 1= 5tons or 10,000lbs
truck 2= 7tons or 14,000lbs
truck 3= 9tons or 18,000lbs
truck 4= 11tons or 22,000lbs

Ln (x-2) +ln (2x-3)=2ln x
goblinko [34]
D:x-2\ \textgreater \ 0 \wedge 2x-3\ \textgreater \ 0 \wedge x\ \textgreater \ 0\\
D:x\ \textgreater \ 2 \wedge x\ \textgreater \ \dfrac{3}{2}\wedge x\ \textgreater \ 0\\
D:x\ \textgreater \ 2\\\\
\ln (x-2) +\ln (2x-3)=2\ln x \\
\ln (x-2)(2x-3)=\ln x^2\\
(x-2)(2x-3)=x^2\\
2x^2-3x-4x+6=x^2\\
x^2-7x+6=0\\
x^2-x-6x+6=0\\
x(x-1)-6(x-1)=0\\
(x-6)(x-1)=0\\
x=6 \vee x=1\\
1\not \in D\\
\boxed{x=6}

calculate the total potential energy in kj of an object whose mass is 20 kg when it is located 20 m below a datum level in a loc
Airida [17]

Answer:

The energy in object is 3.8 Kilo Joules.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Mass = 20 kg

Height,h = 20 m

g=9.5 m/s^2

Formula:

Potential energy  =

E = Mgh

Putting value we get,

E = 20(20)(9.5)\\E = 3800~J\\E = 3.8~KJ

Thus, the energy in object is 3.8 Kilo Joules.

How many terms are in the arithmetic sequence 1313, 1616, 1919, ……, 7070, 7373?
Nataliya [291]
To find the number of terms in the arithmetic sequence, we need to use the formula 
a_{n}= a_{1}+(n-1)d    
where a_{n} is the nth number, a_{1} is the first number, n is the number of terms and d is the difference of the two consecutive numbers.
7373 = 1313 + (n - 1)(303)
7373 = 1313 + 303n - 303
7373 = 1010 + 303n
7373 - 1010 = 303n
6363 = 303n
6363 ÷ 303 = n
n = 21

Therefore, there are 21 terms in the arithmetic sequence given.
