A student solves the equation StartFraction x + 3 Over 2 EndFraction = StartFraction 3 x + 5 Over 5 EndFraction using the steps

in the table.
Original equation
StartFraction x + 3 Over 2 EndFraction = StartFraction 3 x + 5 Over 5 EndFraction
Cross multiplication
5 (x + 3) = 2 (3x + 5)
Distributive property
5 x + 15 = 2 (3 x + 5)
Subtraction property of equality
5 = x

Which method of solving for the variable could be used instead of cross multiplication?
distributing x + 3 and then 3x + 5 to both sides of the equation
distributing x – 3 and then 3x – 5 to both sides of the equation
using the multiplication property of equality to multiply both sides of the equation by 10
using the multiplication property of equality to multiply both sides of the equation by One-tenth

using the multiplication property of equality to multiply both sides of the equation by 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation is:

\frac{x+3}{2} = \frac{3x+5}{5}

One method to solve this equation is cross-multiplication which the student has used.

One of the alternate method can be multiplying both sides by the LCM of numerators of fractions on both sides

So multiplying both sides by 10 (multiplication property of equality)

\frac{x+3}{2} * 10 = \frac{3x+5}{5} * 10\\5(x+3) = 2(3x+5)\\5x+15 = 6x+10\\5x+15-10 = 6x\\6x = 5x+5\\6x-5x = 5\\x = 5

The alternate method of LCM produces the same answer so the correct answer is:

using the multiplication property of equality to multiply both sides of the equation by 10

6. If m∠COD=8x+13, m∠BOC=3x-10, and m∠BOD=12x-6, find m∠BOD
Ahat [919]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

m∠COD=8x+13,

m∠BOC=3x-10, and

m∠BOD=12x-6

The following addition property is true;

<BOD = <BOC + <COD

Substitute

12x-6 = 3x-10+8x+13

12x-6 = 11x+3

12x-11x = 3+6

x = 9

Get <BOD

<BOD = 12x-6

<BOD = 12(9)-6

<BOD = 108-6

<BOD = 102°

Suppose you want to get a loan for $ 5 , 000 at an interest rate of 5.3 % for 2 years to be paid back in 24 monthly installments
swat32

Answer:

monthly payment =  $56.445

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

loan = $5000

interest rate r = 5.3 % = 0.053

time  t = 2 year = 24 months

solution

we will use here amount of the monthly payments formula that is

monthly payment = principal × \frac{r}{1+(1-r)^{-t}}      ................1

put here value and we get

monthly payment = 5000 × \frac{0.053}{1+(1-0.053)^{-24}}\\

monthly payment =  $56.445

This is the pond in a shape of a prism, it is completely full of water. Colin uses a pump to empty the pond. The level goes down
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

150 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Given - This is the pond in a shape of a prism, it is completely full of

             water. Colin uses a pump to empty the pond. The level goes

             down by 20 cm in the first 30 min.

To find - Work put how many minutes Colin has to wait for the pond

               to completely empty.

Proof -

Given that,

Height of prism = 1 m

Also,

Base of the prism is trapezium and

Sides of the trapezium are 0.6 m and 1.4 m

Height of trapezium is 2 m

We know that,

Area of trapezium = \frac{1}{2}× (sum of sides)× height

                             =  \frac{1}{2}× (0.6 + 1.4)× 2

                             =  \frac{1}{2}× (2)× 2

                             =  2 m²

⇒Area of trapezium = 2 m²

Now,

Volume of prism = Area of trapezium × height of prism

                          = 2 m² × 1 m

                          = 2 m³

⇒Volume of prism = 2 m³

Now,

Given that the level goes down by 20 cm in the first 30 min

We know

100 cm = 1 m

⇒1 cm = \frac{1}{100} m = 0.01 m

⇒20 cm = 20×0.01 m = 0.2 m

⇒The level goes down by 0.2 m in the first 30 min.

Also,

we know that height of water = height of prism = 1 m

So, the remaining water left in the pond = 1 m - 0.2 m = 0.8 m

Also,

Volume of Remaining water = Area of trapezium × height

                                           = 2 m² × 0.8 m

                                           = 1.6 m³

⇒Volume of Remaining water = 1.6 m³

Now,

Volume of emptied water = Total Volume - Volume of Remaining water

                                       = 2 m³ - 1.6 m³

                                       = 0.4 m³

⇒Volume of emptied water = 0.4 m³

Now,

0.4 m³ water will be empty in 30 minutes

⇒ 1 m³ water will be empty in \frac{30}{0.4} = 75 minutes

⇒1.6 m³ water will be empty in 1.6 × 75 = 120 minutes

∴ we get

The remaining water is empty in 120 minutes

So,

Total pond is empty in 120 + 30 minutes

⇒Total pond is empty in 150 minutes
