5/x = 4/8

Simplify the fraction 4/8

Divide both the numerator and denominator by 4 to get 1/2

5/x = 1/2

Now, we cross multiply: a/b = c/d ⇒ ad = bc

5/x = 1/2
1(x) = 5(2)
x = 10

Your final answer is D. 10.

Cross-multiply for a result of:

40=4x

Divide by 4 to see that x=10. D is the correct answer.

The polynomial of degree 3, P(x), has a root of multiplicity 2 at x = 3 and a root of multiplicity 1 at x = -2. The y-intercept

Maru [420]

Answer:

$p(x) = - 0.7(x - 3)^{2} (x + 2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have that the polynomial, has a root of multiplicity 2 at x = 3 and a root of multiplicity 1 at x = -2.

This means the factored form of the polynomial will be.

$p(x) = a(x - 3)^{2} (x + 2)$

Also, it was given that, the y-intercept is y=-12.6.

This implies that:

$- 12.6= a(0 - 3)^{2} (0 + 2)$

$- 12.6= a(- 3)^{2} (2)$

$- 12.6= 18a$

Divide both sides by 18;

$a = \frac{ - 12.6}{18}$

$a= - 0.7$

Therefore the polynomial is

$p(x) = - 0.7(x - 3)^{2} (x + 2)$

Write an expression that represents n plus 7 multiplied by 3.

diamong [38]

The <span>expression that represents n plus 7 multiplied by 3 is
(n + 7)(3)
The entire expression, (n + 7) is multiplied by 3 since it would be inconvenient to state the expression as given above if what is meant was
(n + 7x3). It would have simply been n plus 21.</span>

What ordered pair is a solution for y-4=7(x-6)

777dan777 [17]

The ordered pair (6 , 4) is a solution for y - 4 = 7(x - 6)

Step-by-step explanation:

The point-slope form of a linear equation is:

$y-y_{1}=m(x-x_{1})$ , where

m is the slope of the line
$(x_{1},y_{1})$ is a point on the line

Any point on the line is a solution for the equation of the line

The solution of an equation is the values of x and y which make the left hand side is equal to the right hand side

∵ The equation is y - 4 = 7(x - 6)

- Compare the equation by the point-slope form above

∴ m = 7

∴ $x_{1}$ = 6 and $y_{1}$ = 4

- That means point (6 , 6) lies on the line

∴ Point (6 , 4) is a point on the line which represents the

given equation

∵ Any point on a line is a solution of the equation of that line

∴ (6 , 4) is a solution of the equation

The ordered pair (6 , 4) is a solution for y - 4 = 7(x - 6)

Solve the expression for x: (17 – 5) (x + 6) = 3x – 12

patriot [66]

(17-5)(x+6)-(3x-12)=0

12(x+6)-(3x-12)=0

12x-(3x-12)+72=0

12x-3x+12+72=0

9x+84=0

9x=-84

x=9+1/3
