Solve for u. u+1/4=-4/5

DedPeter [7]

Answer:

u = (-21)/20

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for u:

u + 1/4 = (-4)/5

Put each term in u + 1/4 over the common denominator 4: u + 1/4 = (4 u)/4 + 1/4:

(4 u)/4 + 1/4 = -4/5

(4 u)/4 + 1/4 = (4 u + 1)/4:

1/4 (4 u + 1) = -4/5

Multiply both sides of (4 u + 1)/4 = (-4)/5 by 4:

(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = (-4)/5×4

4×(-4)/5 = (4 (-4))/5:

(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = (-4×4)/5

(4 (4 u + 1))/4 = 4/4×(4 u + 1) = 4 u + 1:

4 u + 1 = (-4×4)/5

4 (-4) = -16:

4 u + 1 = (-16)/5

Subtract 1 from both sides:

4 u + (1 - 1) = (-16)/5 - 1

1 - 1 = 0:

4 u = (-16)/5 - 1

Put (-16)/5 - 1 over the common denominator 5. (-16)/5 - 1 = (-16)/5 - 5/5:

4 u = (-16)/5 - 5/5

-16/5 - 5/5 = (-16 - 5)/5:

4 u = (-16 - 5)/5

-16 - 5 = -21:

4 u = (-21)/5

Divide both sides by 4:

u = ((-21)/4)/5

5×4 = 20:

Answer: u = (-21)/20

What is the result of a dilation of scale factor 3 centered at the origin of the line 2y + 3x=10?? PLEASE HELP PLEASEEEEEEEEE

maks197457 [2]

Given:

The equation of a line is:

$2y+3x=10$

The line is dilated by factor 3.

To find:

The result of dilation.

Solution:

The equation of a line is:

$2y+3x=10$

For $x=0$ ,

$2y+3(0)=10$

$2y+0=10$

$y=\dfrac{10}{2}$

$y=5$

For $x=2$ ,

$2y+3(2)=10$

$2y+6=10$

$2y=10-6$

$2y=4$

Divide both sides by 2.

$y=\dfrac{4}{2}$

$y=2$

The given line passes through the two points A(0,5) and B(2,2).

If the line dilated by factor 3 with origin as center of dilation, then

$(x,y)\to (3x,3y)$

Using this rule, we get

$A(0,5)\to A'(3(0),3(5))$

$A(0,5)\to A'(0,15)$

Similarly,

$B(2,2)\to B'(3(2),3(2))$

$B(2,2)\to B'(6,6)$

The dilated line passes through the points A'(0,15) and B'(6,6). So, the equation of dilated line is:

$y-y_1=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

$y-15=\dfrac{6-15}{6-0}(x-0)$

$y-15=\dfrac{-9}{6}(x)$

$y-15=\dfrac{-3}{2}x$

Multiply both sides by 2.

$2(y-15)=-3x$

$2y-30=-3x$

$2y+3x=30$

Therefore, the equation of the line after the dilation is $2y+3x=30$ .

Now, that you have the new wheel circumference, what will happen to the number of rotations if the circumference of the tires we

butalik [34]

The number of rotations for the new wheel will be 1,056 rotations

<h3>How to calculate the circumference of a wheel?</h3>

Let the initial circumference be 50 rotations (assumed)

If the number of rotations of the circumference of the tires were increased by 20%, then the new circumference will be:

Ne circumference = 1.2 * 50 = 60

number of rotations for the new wheel = 63360/60
number of rotations for the new wheel = 1,056 rotations

Hence the number of rotations for the new wheel will be 1,056 rotations
