6-2x=6x-10x+20 solve for x
combine like terms and get all to the same side of equation
6-2x+10x-6x=20
10x-2x-6x+6=20
8x=20-6
8x=14
x=14/8=7/4
Answer:
4/9
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
2nd choice
Step-by-step explanation:
to find the inital peanuts, we multiply 32 ounces by 3/10 or 0.3. then we add x which are peanuts as well. that makes 0.3 x 32 + x. this is our total peanuts. to find the percantage, we find the whole mixture which is now 32 + x, divide peanuts by the whole mixture and multiply by 100.
If the question is asking how many trees can be planted with 6 cubic yards of compost, here is the solution.
6 divided by 1/6 means to take 6 wholes and break them into groups the size of 1/6.
One whole can be broken into 6 groups of 1/6 (6/6), so 6 wholes can be broken into 36 groups of 1/6 (6 x 6 = 36/6).
Mathematically, you will multiply 6 by 6/1 to get the 36.
You can plant 36 trees with 6 cubic yards of compost.
The Babylonian method for approximating square roots is the recursive method given by:
Given:
x0≈k−−√
x

is the number for which we are approximating the square root.
So, armed with this formula, let's now answer the given questions:
1.) Fill in the missing info in the problem to find square root 130 by using the Babylonian method. Let 11.5 be your initial guess.
We will use 15 digits of precision here since it is not stated how many iterations to carry out:
x0=11.5
x
0
=
11.5
x1≈11.4021739130435
x

≈
11.4021739130435
x2≈11.4017542587143
x

≈
11.4017542587143
x3≈11.4017542509914
x

x4≈11.4017542509914
x
4
≈
11.4017542509914
Thus, with 15 digits of accuracy, we may state:
130−−−√≈11.4017542509914
130
≈
11.4017542509914
2.) Use the Babylonian method for your next estimate of square root 115 by using 10.7262 as your guess what's your next result?
The next result here is approximately:
x1=10.72622+1152⋅10.7262≈10.7238055620816

4.) If you use the Babylonian method to estimate square root 75 to the nearest hundredth, starting with the estimate 8. What is the next estimate?
The next result here is:
