Answer:

x= 3.43

Step-by-step explanation:

First, use the distributive property and multiply 3 by x and 3 by 2:

3x + 6

next use the distributive property again and multiply 4 by x and -5:

4x - 20

Combine Like terms: 3x + 6 + 4x - 20

3x + 4x = 7x

6 - 20 = -14

Now Add 14 to both sides: 7x - 14 = 10

10 + 14 = 24

Now divide 7 by both sides: 7x = 24

24 / 7 = 3.428571429 = 3.43

Answer:

x=24/7 or 3 3/7

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x+2) + 4(x-5)=10 parenthesis first

3x+6+4x-20=10

7x-14=10 addition on both sides

7x-14+14=10+14

7x=24

x=24/7

check the answer:

3(x+2) + 4(x-5)=10

3(24/7+2)+4(24/7-5)=10

72/7+6+96/7-20=10

168/7-14=10

24-14=10

10=10 correct

A rectangle has its vertices at (-4, -3), (-4,7), (1,7), (1, -3). What part, in percent, of the rectangle is located in Quadrant

Rasek [7]

Consider the attached figure. The whole rectangle is ABCD, while AEGF is the part located in the third quadrant. In fact, this quadrant is composed by all the points with both coordinates negative.

To answer the question, let's compute the area of the two rectangles and see what part of ABCD is AEGF.

A and B have the same x coordinate, so the length of AB is given by the absolute difference of their y coordinates:

$\overline{AB} = |A_y-B_y| = |-3-7| = |-10| = 10$

Similarly, but exchanging the role of x and y, we compute the length of BC:

$\overline{BC} = |B_x-C_x| = |-4-1| = |-5| = 5$

So, the area of the rectangle is $\overline{AB} \cdot \overline{BC} = 10\cdot 5 = 50$

The same procedure allows us to compute width and height of the sub-rectangle in the third quadrant:

$\overline{AE} = |A_y-E_y| = |-3-0| = |-3| = 3$

$\overline{EG} = |E_x-G_x| = |-4-0| = |-4| = 4$

So, the area of the portion located in the third quadrant is $\overline{AE} \cdot \overline{EG} = 3\cdot 4 = 12$

This means that the ratio between the two area is

$\cfrac{\text{area }AEGF}{\text{area }ABCD} = \cfrac{12}{50}$

If we want this ratio to be a percentage, just make sure that the denominator is 100:

$\cfrac{12}{50} = \cfrac{12}{50}\cdot \cfrac{2}{2} = \cfrac{24}{100} = 24\%$

Write 0.001742 in scientific notation.

Kobotan [32]

1.742 x 10^-3

<em>This is because you have to move the decimal so there is no non zero digits left in the decimal point and if the number of decimal places you move will be the exponent on the "10". If you move the decimal to the right it will be a negative and if you move it to the left it will be a positive. </em>
