Solve the linear equation - 7(x + 2) = -3(x - 5) for x

x= −29/4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

−7(x+2)=−3(x−5)

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

−7(x+2)=−3(x−5)

(−7)(x)+(−7)(2)=(−3)(x)+(−3)(−5)(Distribute)

−7x+−14=−3x+15

−7x−14=−3x+15

Step 2: Add 3x to both sides.

−7x−14+3x=−3x+15+3x

−4x−14=15

Step 3: Add 14 to both sides.

−4x−14+14=15+14

−4x=29

Step 4: Divide both sides by -4.

−4x −4

x=29/−4

x= −29/4

Determine all values of k that make each of the following a perfect square trinomial. X^2+8x+k
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

k can either be

12

or

−

12

.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the equation

0=x2+4x+4

. We can solve this by factoring as a perfect square trinomial, so

0=(x+2)2→x=−2 and−2

. Hence, there will be two identical solutions.

The discriminant of the quadratic equation (b2−4ac) can be used to determine the number and the type of solutions. Since a quadratic equations roots are in fact its x intercepts, and a perfect square trinomial will have

2 equal, or 1

distinct solution, the vertex lies on the x axis. We can set the discriminant to 0 and solve:

k2−(4×1×36)=0

k2−144=0

(k+12)(k−12)=0

k=±12

A phone company offers two monthly plans. Plan A costs $11 plus an additional $0.16 for each minute of calls. Plan B costs $29 p
Andrew [12]

Answer:

The plans will cost the same when the amount you have to pay for talking for "x" minutes on Plan A is the same has what you have to pay for talking for the same number of "x" minutes when using Plan B.

 

$$ Plan A = $$ Plan B

 

To find the charge on each plan we add the base rate to the per minute call rate for each.

 

Plan A = $27 + $0.11x

Plan B = $13 + $0.15x

 

Let's drop the $ sign for now and get rid of the decimal point by multiplying by 100.

 

2700 + 11x = 1300 + 15x

 

Subtracting 11x and 1300 from both sides:

 

4x = 1400

 

x = 350 min.

 

Using this result the plans both cost $65.50 for 350 min of talk time.

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the number 480 in a ratio of 3:5
Schach [20]

If it is a ratio of 3:5 you are dividing 480 into 8 parts (3+5).


So divide 480 by 8: 480/8 = 60


Then the ratio is (3x60):(5x60) or 180:300


To check it is correct, add up the two parts to see that they come to 480:


180+300 = 480. All good.


Hope this helps
