Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write equation

4(x - 2) = 3x + 1

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute 4: 4x - 8 = 3x + 1
Subtract 3x on both sides: x - 8 = 1
Add 8 to both sides: x = 9

Step 3: Check

Plug in x to verify it's a solution.

Substitute: 4(9 - 2) = 3(9) + 1
Parenthesis (add): 4(7) = 3(9) + 1
Multiply: 28 = 27 + 1
Add: 28 = 28

there are three oranges in 200g of bag . if the weight of them with bag is 1.4kg. find the weight of an orange.i want full metho

Lana71 [14]

the bag is 200g

total weight with oranges is 1400g

deduct the bags weight from total weight

1400 - 200

1200g

this is the weight of the three oranges

so each orange would be

1200 ÷ 3

400g

Evaluate the following

IRINA_888 [86]

(a) $[\frac{9}{2.6} - \frac{2.5^{2} }{2.5} ]^{2}$

Answer:

$[\frac{9}{2.6} - \frac{2.5^{2} }{2.5} ]^{2}$

= $[\frac{9}{2.6} - \frac{2.5*2.5 }{2.5} ]^{2}$

= $[\frac{9}{2.6} - \frac{2.5}{1} ]^{2}$

*canceling 2.5 in numerator and denominator*

$= [\frac{9-(2.5)(2.6)}{2.6} ]^2\\*Using L.C.M of 2.6 and 1 which comes out to be '2.6'= [\frac{9-(6.5)}{2.6} ]^2\\= [\frac{2.5}{2.6} ]^2\\*multiplying and dividing by '10'= [\frac{2.5*10}{2.6*10} ]^2\\= [\frac{25}{26} ]^2\\= \frac{25^2}{26^2}\\= \frac{625}{676}\\= 0.925$

Properties used:

Cancellation property of fractions

Least Common Multiplier(LCM)

The least or smallest common multiple of any two or more given natural numbers are termed as LCM. For example, LCM of 10, 15, and 20 is 60.

(b) $[[\frac{3x^{a}y^{b}} {-3x^{a} y^{b} } ]^{3} ] ^{2}$

Answer:

$[[\frac{3x^{a}y^{b}} {-3x^{a} y^{b} } ]^{3}] ^{2}\\$

*using $[x^{a}]^b = x^{ab}$ *

$= [\frac{3x^{3a}y^{3b}} {-3x^{3a} y^{3b} }] ^{2}$

*Again, using $[x^{a}]^b = x^{ab}$ *

$= \frac{3x^{2*3a}y^{2*3b}} {-3x^{2*3a} y^{2*3b} } \\= (-1)\frac{3x^{6a}y^{6b}} {3x^{6a} y^{6b} }\\[\tex]*taking -1 common, denominator and numerator are equal*[tex]= -(1)\frac{1}{1}\\= -1$

Property used: 'Power of a power'

We can raise a power to a power

(x^2)4=(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)⋅(x⋅x)=x^8

This is called the power of a power property and says that to find a power of a power you just have to multiply the exponents.

Answer:

60 feet^3

Step-by-step explanation:

like you draw, cut it to two part.

the small one:

1 x 3 x 4=12 feet^3

The big one:

2 x 6 x 4=48 feet^3

So the total is:

12+48=60 feet^3

Hope it helps.
