Answer:

The answer would be division (B)

Step-by-step explanation:

4x equals the total amount

x equals the cost of one item

Therefore you'd divide total cost by 4 and that would find the cost of one item

Answer:

We will use division operation

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the cost of 4 items

So, cost of 1 item = $\frac{x}{4}$

So, we have used division operation

So, to find out how much one costs, we will use division operation

So, Option B is true

Hence we will use division operation

Find the product of all real values of r for which 1/2x=r-x/7

Dahasolnce [82]

Answer:

$r = \±\sqrt{14$

$Product = -14$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$\frac{1}{2x} = \frac{r - x}{7}$

Required

Find all product of real values that satisfy the equation

$\frac{1}{2x} = \frac{r - x}{7}$

Cross multiply:

$2x(r - x) = 7 * 1$

$2xr - 2x^2 = 7$

Subtract 7 from both sides

$2xr - 2x^2 -7= 7 -7$

$2xr - 2x^2 -7= 0$

Reorder

$- 2x^2+ 2xr -7= 0$

Multiply through by -1

$2x^2 - 2xr +7= 0$

The above represents a quadratic equation and as such could take either of the following conditions.

(1) No real roots:

This possibility does not apply in this case as such, would not be considered.

(2) One real root

This is true if

$b^2 - 4ac = 0$

For a quadratic equation

$ax^2 + bx + c = 0$

By comparison with $2x^2 - 2xr +7= 0$

$a = 2$

$b = -2r$

$c =7$

Substitute these values in $b^2 - 4ac = 0$

$(-2r)^2 - 4 * 2 * 7 = 0$

$4r^2 - 56 = 0$

Add 56 to both sides

$4r^2 - 56 + 56= 0 + 56$

$4r^2 = 56$

Divide through by 4

$r^2 = 14$

Take square roots

$\sqrt{r^2} = \±\sqrt{14$

$r = \±\sqrt{14$

Hence, the possible values of r are:

$\sqrt{14$ or $-\sqrt{14$

and the product is:

$Product = \sqrt{14} * -\sqrt{14}$

$Product = -14$

Please help! The answer isn’t 36! <br> Find the value of the expression:

Brums [2.3K]

Answer:

3.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

We are given this expression:

.6√36 (.6*√36)

And we want to find the value of it

.6 can be re-written as 0.6

In that case,

0.6*√36

First, simplify what's under the radical: √36, which is equal to 6 (6*6=36)

The expression then becomes:

0.6*6

Multiply those numbers together

0.6*6=<u>3.6</u>

Hope this helps!

A private jet flies the same distance in 10 hours that a commercial jet flies in 8 hours. If the speed of the commercial jet was

Vladimir [108]

Commercial jet's speed = 2x-162 (plug this in the equation below)

Private jet's speed = x

Equation:

10(x) = 8(2x-162)
10x = 16x - 1296
6x = 1296
x = 216 (Private jet's speed)

Take the first equation and plug x value in;
2x-162
2(216) - 162 = 270 ( Commercial jet's speed)
