3x + 8 = -x + 20 What is x?

2 answers:

5 0

First, lets take all the x values on one side.

3x + x + 8 = -x + x + 20
4x + 8 = 20

Now, lets put the numbers on the other side.

4x + 8 - 8 = 20 - 8
4x = 12
x = 3

Hope this helps!

Hello there.

First, we need to isolate x to one side of the equation. To do this, we need to cancel out one of the x's by adding or subtracting it's opposite. Since the right side of the equation has a lower value, we'll cancel that one.

Remember, what you do to one side of the equation, you must do to the other side.

3x + 8 = -x + 20
Add 1x to both sides (this cancels out -x and adds 1x to 3x).

4x + 8 = 20
Now we need to isolate the variable. Our current equation has the variable being added to a number, so we need to cancel out that number. To do this, we need to subtract the value of the number.

4x + 8 = 20
Subtract 8 from both sides.

4x = 12
Now, all we need to do is perform the opposite order of operations to 4x in order to solve for x. Since x is being multiplied by 4, we need to divide both sides by 4.

x = 3 is your answer.

I hope this helps, and have a great day!

The tough part is the number of drinks.
Let the number of them be x
4.5 x + 3 + (10/100) * (4.5x + 3) + (7/100) * (4.5 x + 3) ≤ 60

The tip is not included in the tax, and the tax does not include the tip. You can shorten this up quite a bit.
4.5 x + 3 + (10/100) * (4.5x + 3) + (7/100) * (4.5 x + 3) ≤ 60
(1 + 10/100 + 7 /100) (4.5x + 3) ≤ 60 Combine the tax, tip, scone and Lattes

(1.17) * (4.5x + 3) ≤ 60 Divide by 1.17
4.5x + 3 ≤ 60 / 1.17
4.5x + 3 ≤ 51.28 Subtract 3
4.5x ≤ 48.28 Divide by 4.5
x ≤ 48.28 / 4.5
x ≤ 10.72

Discussion.
There's a problem. He can't buy 0.72 of a Latte. He can only buy 10 of them. In this case we must round down so what happens if he buys 10 lattes? Does the price the taxes and the tip allow him to get another Latte? The answer should be no because then you would be 11 lattes and the tip and taxes would push you over 60 dollars. But be careful, sometimes things like this can alter you answer..

Find the counterclockwise circulation and outward flux of the field F=7xyi+5y^2j around and over the boundary of the region C en

dezoksy [38]

Split up the boundary of C (which I denote ∂C throughout) into the parabolic segment from (1, 1) to (0, 0) (the part corresponding to y = x ²), and the line segment from (1, 1) to (0, 0) (the part of ∂C on the line y = x).

Parameterize these pieces respectively by

r(t) = x(t) i + y(t) j = t i + t ² j

and

s(t) = x(t) i + y(t) j = (1 - t ) i + (1 - t ) j

both with 0 ≤ t ≤ 1.

The circulation of F around ∂C is given by the line integral with respect to arc length,

$\displaystyle \int_{\partial C}\mathbf F\cdot\mathbf T \,\mathrm ds$

where T denotes the tangent vector to ∂C. Split up the integral over each piece of ∂C :

• on the parabolic segment, we have

T = dr/dt = i + 2t j

• on the line segment,

T = ds/dt = -i - j

Then the circulation is

$\displaystyle \int_{\partial C}\mathbf F\cdot\mathbf T\,\mathrm ds = \int_0^1 (7t^3\,\mathbf i+5t^4\,\mathbf j)\cdot(\mathbf i+2t\,\mathbf j)\,\mathrm dt + \int_0^1 (7(1-t)^2\,\mathbf i+5(1-t)^2\,\mathbf j)\cdot(-\mathbf i-\mathbf j)\,\mathrm dt \\\\ = \int_0^1 (7t^3+10t^5)\,\mathrm dt - 12 \int_0^1 (1-t)^2\,\mathrm dt =\boxed{-\frac7{12}}$

Alternatively, we can use Green's theorem to compute the circulation, as

$\displaystyle\int_{\partial C}\mathbf F\cdot\mathbf T\,\mathrm ds = \iint_C\frac{\partial(5y^2)}{\partial x} - \frac{\partial(7xy)}{\partial y}\,\mathrm dx\,\mathrm dy \\\\ = -7\int_0^1\int_{x^2}^x x\,\mathrm dx \\\\ = -7\int_0^1 xy\bigg|_{y=x^2}^{y=x}\,\mathrm dx \\\\ =-7\int_0^1(x^2-x^3)\,\mathrm dx = -\frac7{12}$

The flux of F across ∂C is

$\displaystyle \int_{\partial C}\mathbf F\cdot\mathbf N \,\mathrm ds$

where N is the normal vector to ∂C. While T = x'(t) i + y'(t) j, the normal vector is N = y'(t) i - x'(t) j.

• on the parabolic segment,

N = 2t i - j

• on the line segment,

N = - i + j

So the flux is

$\displaystyle \int_{\partial C}\mathbf F\cdot\mathbf N\,\mathrm ds = \int_0^1 (7t^3\,\mathbf i+5t^4\,\mathbf j)\cdot(2t\,\mathbf i-\mathbf j)\,\mathrm dt + \int_0^1 (7(1-t)^2\,\mathbf i+5(1-t)^2\,\mathbf j)\cdot(-\mathbf i+\mathbf j)\,\mathrm dt \\\\ = \int_0^1 (14t^4-5t^4)\,\mathrm dt - 2 \int_0^1 (1-t)^2\,\mathrm dt =\boxed{\frac{17}{15}}$

Josh is going to the store with $60 to buy candy. bags of candy corn cost $3 & bags of chocolate cost $5 he needs to buy at

vagabundo [1.1K]

Answer:

3a+5b

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable 1: a = candy corn

Variable 2: b = chocolate

Inequality 1: 60 ≥ 3a + 5b

Inequality 2: 20 ≤ 3a + 5b

The inequalities are as such because Josh needs to spend no greater than $60. He must also buy at least 20 bags of candy. The candy corn costs $3, while the chocolate costs $5. An expression for the total cost of the candy would be 3a + 5b.
