Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

3 (2 x - 1) = 7 x + 5 x + 3

Grouping like terms, 7 x + 5 x + 3 = (5 x + 7 x) + 3:

3 (2 x - 1) = (5 x + 7 x) + 3

5 x + 7 x = 12 x:

3 (2 x - 1) = 12 x + 3

Expand out terms of the left hand side:

6 x - 3 = 12 x + 3

Subtract 12 x from both sides:

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

6 x - 12 x = -6 x:

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

12 x - 12 x = 0:

-6 x - 3 = 3

Add 3 to both sides:

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

3 - 3 = 0:

-6 x = 3 + 3

3 + 3 = 6:

-6 x = 6

Divide both sides of -6 x = 6 by -6:

(-6 x)/(-6) = 6/(-6)

(-6)/(-6) = 1:

x = 6/(-6)

The gcd of 6 and -6 is 6, so 6/(-6) = (6×1)/(6 (-1)) = 6/6×1/(-1) = 1/(-1):

x = 1/(-1)

1/(-1) = -1:

Answer: x = -1

A basket contains four apples and five peaches. Three times, you randomly select piece of fruit, returning to the basket, and th

Anarel [89]

Answer:

100/729

Step-by-step explanation:

The basket contains 9 fruits: 4 apples and 5 peaches. Thus the probability of choosing one fruit can easily be determined.

P(Apple is selected) = number of apples / number of fruits= 4/9.

P(Peach is selected) = number of peaches / number of fruits= 5/9.

If the replacement is allowed, then the probabilities will remain unchanged for all the fruits. Therefore, the probability of selecting an apple in the any attempt is 4/9 and the probability of selecting a peach in any attempt is 5/9. Assuming that the selection of the fruits is independent, we can safely multiply the probabilities. Therefore, 4/9 * 5/9 * 5/9 = 100/729.

Therefore, the correct answer is 100/729!!!

The population of a certain country in 1997 was 288 million people. In addition, the population of the country was growing at a

Crazy boy [7]

Answer:

a) In the year 1998 with 3 days, 2 hours, 44 minutes and 18.1006141 seconds

b) In the year 1998 with 19 days, 18 hours, 5 minutes and 35.10875472 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

a) To know the time when the population will be 305 million people, we need to isolate the variable t in the equation, $P(t)=288(1.009)^{t-1997}$

So we isolate t with the property of logarithms that allow us go down the exponent, applying in both sides of the equation

For this subsection the value of P is equal to 305 million people

$Ln(305)=Ln[(288)(1.009)]^{t-1997}$

$Ln(305)=(t-1997)*Ln[(288)(1.009)]$

Now, we can isolate the value of t

$\frac{Ln(305)}{Ln[(288)(1.009)]} =t-1997$

$\frac{Ln(305)}{Ln[(288)(1.009)]}-1997 =t$

$t=1998.008531776402$

So to know the exact date we multiply the number after the point, that is 0.008531776402 for the number of days that have 1 year, equal to 365 days

0.008531776402*365= 3.114098387 days

then the number after the point, that is 0.114098387 will be multiply for the number of hours that have 1 day

0.114098387*24= 2.738361282 hours

then the number after the point, that is 0.738361282 will be multiply for the number of minutes that have 1 hour

0.738361282*60= 44.3016769 minutes

Finally, the number after the point, that is 0.3016769 will be multiply for the number of seconds that have 1 minute

0.3016769*60= 18.1006141 seconds

And we obtain that the time, when the population of the country is 305 million people, is in the year 1998 with 3 days, 2 hours, 44 minutes and 25.152 seconds

b) For calculate the time when the population is 395 million people, we do the same process we did in the subsection a)

$Ln(395)=Ln[(288)(1.009)]^{t-1997}$

$Ln(395)=(t-1997)*Ln[(288)(1.009)]$

Now, we can isolate the value of t

$\frac{Ln(395)}{Ln[(288)(1.009)]} =t-1997$

$\frac{Ln(395)}{Ln[(288)(1.009)]}-1997 =t$

$t=1998.05412021527$

0.05412021527*365= 19.75387857 days

0.75387857 *24= 18.09308577 hours

0.09308577*60= 5.585145912 minutes

0.585145912*60= 35.10875472 seconds

And we obtain that the time, when the population of the country is 395 million people, is in the year 1998 with 19 days, 18 hours, 5 minutes and 35.10875472 seconds

A certain mapping in the xy plane has the following property: Each point P with coordinates (x,y) is mapped to a point P'with co

NeTakaya

Answer:

C.The property defines a translation

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that a certain mapping in the xy-plane

Each point P (x,y) is mapped to a point P'(x-5,y-2).

We have to find that which statement is true in given option.

It is not reflection property because reflection about any axis then the coordinate does not change only sign of x and y change depend upon the reflection about x- axis or y- axis.

Therefore,option A is false.

Rotation:it is a transformation that turns a figure about a fixed point called center of rotation.

Rotation can be 90 degrees , 180,270 and 360 degrees

If the point P rotate 90 degrees then the point P'(-y,x),If point P rotate about 180 degrees then the point P'(-x,-y), when the point P rotate about 270 degrees then the point P'(y,-x), when the point P rotate about 360 degrees then the point P'(x,y).

Therefore, it is not a rotation.

It is a translation property because in translation every point must move same distance.

What is the factored form of x2 – 7x + 12?

const2013 [10]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² - 7x + 12

Consider the factors of the constant term (+ 12) which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term (- 7)

The factors are - 4 and - 3, since

- 4 × - 3 = + 12 and - 4 - 3 = - 7, thus

x² - 7x + 12 = (x - 4)(x - 3) ← in factored form → D
