Try the numbers 22, 23, 24, 25 in the equation 4/3 = 32/d to test whether any of them is a solution. a. 23 is a solution. c. 24

S_A_V [24]

Answer:

c. 24 is a solution

Step-by-step explanation:

Given equation:

$\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{d}$

To test the numbers 22, 23, 24, 25 for the solution.

Solution:

In order to test the given number for the solution, we will plugin each number in the unknown variable $d$ and see if it satisfies the equation.

1) $d=22$

$\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{22}$

Reducing fraction to simplest form by dividing the numerator and denominator by their G.C.F.

$\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32\div 2}{22\div 2}$

$\frac{4}{3}=\frac{16}{11}$

The above statement can never be true and hence 22 is not a solution.

2) $d=23$

$\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{23}$

The fractions can no further be reduced.

The statement can never be true and hence 23 is not a solution.

3) $d=24$

$\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{24}$

Reducing fraction to simplest form by dividing the numerator and denominator by their G.C.F.

$\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32\div 8}{24\div 8}$

$\frac{4}{3}=\frac{4}{3}$

The above statement is always true and hence 24 is a solution.

4) $d=25$

$\frac{4}{3}=\frac{32}{25}$

The fractions can no further be reduced.

The statement can never be true and hence 25 is not a solution.

Question 8b , thanks

marta [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$a = \frac{2b+1}{3b-1}$

b = 2/3

$2b + 1 = 2*\frac{2}{3}+1\\\\=\frac{4}{3}+1\\\\=\frac{4}{3}+\frac{3}{3}\\\\=\frac{7}{3}\\\\3b-1 = 3*\frac{2}{3}-1\\\\=2- 1 = 1\\\\\\$

$a = \frac{2b+1}{3b-1}\\\\a=\frac{\frac{7}{3}}{1}\\\\=\frac{7}{3}\\\\$

a = 7/3

$\frac{2b+1}{3b-1}=a\\\\$

Cross multiply,

2b + 1 = a*(3b - 1)

2b + 1 = a*3b - 3*a

2b + 1 = 3ab- 3a

2b = 3ab - 3a - 1

2b - 3ab = -3a - 1

b(2 - 3a) = -3a - 1

$b =\frac{-3a - 1}{2 - 3a}$

Select the correct answer

tatuchka [14]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

A real interest rate is an interest rate that has been adjusted to remove the effects of inflation to reflect the real cost of funds to the borrower and the real yield to the lender or to an investor. A nominal interest rate refers to the interest rate before taking inflation into account.

Rearrange the formula V = 1 3 πr2h for h. A) h = 3V πr2 B) h = V 3πr2 C) h = 3πr2 V D) h = πr2 3V

stiks02 [169]

Answer:

Option a) $h=\frac{3V}{\pi r^{2} }$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given formula seems to represent the volume of right circular cone. The correct formula is:

$V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h$

We have to rearrange the formula for h. This means we have to move h on one side of the formula and all the other variables and constants on the other side of the equation. This can be done as shown below:

$V=\frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2} h\\\\3V=\pi r^{2} h\\\\h=\frac{3V}{\pi r^{2} }$
