1/3(6x-15)=1/2(10x-4) solve for x

Mathematics

Simplify 1/3(6x - 15) to 6x - 15/3

6x - 15/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)

Factor out the common term; 3

3(2x - 5)/3 = 1/2(10x - 4)

Cancel out 3

2x - 5 = 1/2(10x - 4)

Simplify 1/2(10x - 4) to 10x - 4/2

2x - 5 = 10x - 4/2

Factor out the common term; 2

2x - 5 = 2(5x - 2)/2

Cancel out 2

2x - 5 = 5x - 2

Subtract 2x from both sides

-5 = 5x - 2 - 2x

Simplify 5x - 2 - 2x to 3x - 2

-5 = 3x - 2

Add 2 to both sides

-5 + 2 = 3x

Simplify -5 + 2 to -3

-3 = 3x

Divide both sides by 3

- 1 = x

Switch sides

<u>x = -1</u>

A major baseball diamond is a square with side lengths of 90 feet.
iren2701 [21]

Answer: \bold{a)\quad 90\sqrt2\qquad \qquad b)\quad 45\sqrt2}

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Since you are looking for the distance from home plate to second base, you are actually looking for the length of the diagonal of the square.  Use the Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c² where a and b are the side lengths and c is the length of the diagonal.

90^2+90^2=c^2\\8100+8100=c^2\\16200=c^2\\\sqrt{16200}=c\\\boxed{90\sqrt2}=c\qquad \qquad \text{which is approximately 127.28}\\\\\\\\\text{Halfway between home plate and 2nd base means divide that length by 2:}\\\\\dfrac{90\sqrt2}{2}=\boxed{45\sqrt2}

I said no it's not a function but why isn't it a function?
VMariaS [17]
It's not a function because the x value repeated but wasn't accompanied by the same y value . there is (-2,2) and (-2,14) but if they had the same y value like (-2,2) and (-2,2) or (-2,14) and (-2,14) the table would represent a function. If you still dont understand I'll be more than happy to elaborate :)
