Solve for x. 2 1/2x − 3/4 (2x+5) = 38 ASAP

Mathematics

Answer:

  x = 41 3/4

Step-by-step explanation:

(2 1/2)x -(3/4)(2x +5) = 38

(2 1/2)x -(1 1/2)x -15/4 = 38 . . . . use the distributive property

x = 38 +3 3/4 . . . . . . add 15/4

x = 41 3/4

_____

Another way to solve this is to "clear fractions" by multiplying the whole equation by 4:

  10x -3(2x +5) = 152

  4x -15 = 152 . . . . eliminate parentheses

  4x = 167 . . . . . . . add 15

  x = 41 3/4 . . . . . . divide by 4

If -1 < x < 0 which of the following has the smallest value?
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: (B) x^3

Explanation:

If you compare the graphs of

  • y = x^2
  • y = x^3
  • y = x^4

all on the interval -1 < x < 0, you'll find that y = x^3 is the smallest when x = -1

Squaring a negative number leads to a positive result, and similarly that happens with x^4 as well. This is because x^4 = (x^2)^2.

Plugging x = -1 into x^3 leads to y = -1 as a result.

A candy store sells 7 packs of bubble gum for $29.33. How much would it cost to buy 3 packs?
alexira [117]

Hi there,

Recall how 7 packs for gum sell for $29.33.

Before we can calculate how much it would cost to sell 3 packs of gum, we must calculate how much it would first cost to sell 1 pack of gum.

The cost of 1 pack of gum is the current total cost divided by the total amount of gum packs you receive at that price.

In this case, the total cost is $29.33, and we receive 7 gum packs at that price.

Therefore, the cost of 1 pack of gum is \frac{29.33}{7}, which equates to $4.19.

We now know that each pack of gum costs $4.19.

Hence, 3 packs of gum would cost three times that price.

4.19 * 3 = 12.57

The cost of 3 packs of gum is $12.57.

Hope that helps!

If two objects have the same weight dors the gravitational feild strength effect the mass ​
ycow [4]
It is important to remember that weight is not the same as mass - the weight of an object and its mass are directly proportional . This means that for a given gravitational field strength, the greater the mass of the object, the greater its weight.
