<span>A. Given the equation 4x + 7 = 3(2x − 5), solve for the variable. 
</span>4x + 7 = 3(2x − 5)
<span>4x + 7 = 6x - 15 (distributive property of multiplication)
4x - 6x = -15 - 7 (transitive property)
-2x = -22
x = 11

B. Sam solved a similar equation below. Is Sam's solution correct? Explain why or why not.

5x − 1 = 2(x + 4)
5x − 1 = 2x + 8
7x − 1 = 8
7x = 7
x = 1

Sam's solution is incorrect, this is the correct solution
</span>5x − 1 = 2(x + 4)
5x − 1 = 2x + 8
5x − 2x = 8 + 1
3x = 9
x = 3

What is the area of a circle with a circumference of 36.68 units
Lina20 [59]

Answer:

radius = circumference / (2 * PI)

radius = 5.8378033126

Circle Area = PI * radius^2

Circle Area = PI * 5.8378033126^2

Circle Area = PI * 34.0799475167

Circle Area = 107.07 square units

Pythagorean theorem: find the perimeter
denis-greek [22]
The answer is 5
Explanation:
We need to use the Pythagorean,
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
Where c is the hypotenuse
We can fill in spots now 12^2 + b^2 = 13^2
And then we solve 144 + b^2 = 169
Next we get b^2 alone
169-144=25
So we get b^2=25
For the final step you have to find the square root of 25 to get b alone which is 5

PLEASE ANSWER!!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST!!!!!!!!
tia_tia [17]

Let 'x' represent the total distance from point A to point B

During the first hour he gets 0.25 of the way there: 0.25x

During the second hour he covers an additional 0.2 of the distance: 0.2x

During the third hour, he covers 0.3 of the distance: 0.3x

The total distance the biker traveled is:

0.25x + 0.2x + 0.3x = (0.25 + 0.2 + 0.3)x = 0.75x

The biker has: x - 0.75x = (1 - 0.75)x = 0.25x of the total distance left to go.

Is the least common multiple of a pair of numbers ever less than both numbers
nadezda [96]

well It never could be less than both numbers. the LCM of 2 numbers shd either be greater than the 2 numbers .... or the answer should be equal to either one of the numbers ...

lets see some examples to prove this conclusion:

now, lets find the LCM of 2 and 6 ... so if we do it ... we get the answer 6 .. which is ..as we said equal to one of the numbers

another example : 5 and 7 ... in this ... if we do it .. .we get the LCM as 37 ... which is greater than both the numbers

another case where both the numbers are same ....

where we need to find the LCM of 7 and 7 ... the answer will be 7 itself .....
