Alright, so we've established that the true answer is 48, but we need to understand how to get that.

We know the equation is (t/4) - 3 = 9

First, we need to add 3 to both sides. You should come up with: t/4 = 12

Now, when you have a fraction like that, you need to multiply by the denominator on both sides, no matter what the numerator may be. Therefore:

t/4 (4) = 12(4)

t = 48

<em>As another example</em> to enhance your understanding, let's use (x/5) - 6 = 10.

You'd begin by adding 6 to each side: (x/5) = 16.

Then, multiply by 5 (the denominator) on both sides.

x = 80.

You do 9+3 which equals 12 then you multiply that by 4

Phoenix [80]

Answer:

The answer is B) 1/25

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because given that f(x) = 5^x

Hence, f(-2) would be 5^-2, which is equal to (1/5^2) => 1/25

Because a^-b can be written as 1/a^b

Factor x^3 -7x^2 -5x+35 by grouping. what is the resulting expression

Anni [7]

Answer:

(x-7) (x^2-5)

Step-by-step explanation:

x^3 -7x^2 -5x+35

Make 2 groups

x^3 -7x^2 -5x+35

Factor x^2 from the first group and -5 from the second group

x^2 (x-7) -5(x-7)

Now factor (x-7) out

(x-7) (x^2-5)

A carpenter is assigned the job of expanding a rectangular deck where the width is one-fourth the length. The length of the deck

leva [86]

Let the width be W, then the length is 4W (since the width is 1/4 the length)

The area of the original deck is $W*4W=4W^{2}$

The dimensions of the new deck are :

length = 4W+6
width=W+2

so the area of the new deck is :

$(4W+6)(W+2)= 4W^{2}+8W+6W+12= 4W^{2}+14W+12$

"<span>the area of the new rectangular deck is 68 ft2 larger than the area of the original deck</span>" means that we write the equation:

$4W^{2}+14W+12=68+4W^{2}$

$14W+12=68$

$14W=68-12=56$

$W= \frac{56}{14}= 4$

the length is $4W=4*4=16$ ft

Answer: width: 4, length: 16

How do i prove 2sec^2x-2sec^2xsin^2-sin^2x-cos^2x=1

kramer

$2\sec^2x-2\sec^2x\sin^2x-\sin^2x-\cos^2x=2\sec^2x(1-\sin^2x)-(\sin^2x+\cos^2x)$

Since $\sin^2x+\cos^2x=1$ , you have

$2\sec^2x(1-\sin^2x)-(\sin^2x+\cos^2x)=2\sec^2x\cos^2x-1$

and since $\sec x=\dfrac1{\cos x}$ , you end up with $2-1=1$ .
