Answer:

x=-1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

add 2 to both sides

3x=x-1

subtract x from both sides

2x=-1

divide by 2

x=-1/2

Answer and Step-by-step explanation:

$\huge\boxed{~~x=\frac{-1}{2}~~}$

Step 1: Subtract x from both sides:

$3x-2-x=x-3-x$

$2x-2=-3$

Step 2: Add 2 to both sides:

$2x-2+2=-3+2$

$2x=-1$

Step 3: Divide both sides by 2:

$\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{-1}{2}$

$x=[tex]\frac{-1}{2}$ [/tex]

Help this is due tomorrow please! Carter has 88 feet of fencing to enclose a dog pen in his yard. He is trying to decide whether

svet-max [94.6K]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

The circle makes the larger area

The difference in the two areas is roughly 132.2479 square feet.

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

Explanation:

If Carter decides to go for a circle, then 88 is the circumference, which is the distance around the circle (aka perimeter of the circle).

Use this to find the radius needed

C = 2*pi*r

r = C/(2pi)

r = 88/(2pi)

r = 44/pi

I'll leave it in exact form rather than approximate it.

Once we know the radius, we can find the area of the circle.

A = pi*r^2

A = pi(44/pi)^2

A = pi*(1936/(pi^2))

A = 1936/pi

A = 616.247939651819 approximately

I used my calculator's stored version of pi to compute the area in the final step.

We'll be comparing this number later, so hold onto it for now.

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

If Carter instead decides for a square, then 88 is the perimeter since it's the amount of fencing he has to work with.

Divide it into 4 pieces to find the length of each side of the square (all sides are equal in a square)

88/4 = 22

Each side is 22 feet

The area of this square is (22)^2 = 22*22 = 484 square feet

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

Summary:

If Carter goes for a circular enclosure, then he gets roughly 616.2479 square feet.
The square enclosure only gets him exactly 484 square feet.

The circle wins in terms of larger area.

The difference being roughly 616.2479 - 484 = 132.2479 square feet.

In Example 3, the track has 6 lanes that are each 1 meter in width. a. What is the outer perimeter of the track? Round your answ

son4ous [18]

Answer:

Incomplete question, check attachment for the necessary diagram

Step-by-step explanation:

Note in the attachment,

We have two identical straight line of lenght

L1 = L2 = 84.39m

We also have two identical semicircle or radius 36.5m to the first track lane

But this is not the radius of the circle, the radius of the circle will now be 36.5 plus the 6 track lane and we are told that one track lane is 1m, then, the track lane is 6m

So, radius = 36.5+6

r = 42.5m

Then, we need to calculate the perimeter of the semicircle using the formula of perimeter of a circle and dividing by2

P = 2πr/2

P =πr

P = 22/7 × 42.5

P = 133.57 m

Then, the arc 1 is equal to arc 2 which is equal to 133.57 m

A1 = A2 = 133.57 m

Now we have all the dimensions,

Then, the perimeter can be calculated by adding the length of the sides

The perimeter of the field = Lenght of the two straight lines plus the length of the two semicircle arc

P = L1 + L2 + A1 + A2

P = 84.39 + 84.39 + 133.57 + 133.57

P =435.923 m

So, to the nearest meter

P ≈ 436m

The perimeter of the track is 436m

Factorize x^2/16+xy+4y^2

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

$\frac{x^2}{16} +xy+4y^2$ can be factored out as: $(\frac{x}{4} +2\,y)^2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall the formula for the perfect square of a binomial :

$(a+b)^2=a^2+2ab+b^2$

Now, let's try to identify the values of $a$ and $b$ in the given trinomial.

Notice that the first term and the last term are perfect squares:

$\frac{x^2}{16} = (\frac{x}{4} )^2\\4y^2=(2y)^2$

so, we can investigate what the middle term would be considering our $a=\frac{x}{4}$ , and $b=2y$ :

$2\,a\,b=2\,(\frac{x}{4}) \,(2\,y)=x\,y$

Therefore, the calculated middle term agrees with the given middle term, so we can conclude that this trinomial is the perfect square of the binomial:

$(\frac{x}{4} +2\,y)^2$

Find the value of x if h(x) = -25 in the function h(X) = 1/5x + 10

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer:

x = -175

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

h(x) = -25

h(x) = 1/5x + 10

Step 2: Substitute and Evaluate

-25 = 1/5x + 10

-35 = 1/5x

x = -175
