The steps below show the incomplete solution to find the value of x for the equation

The next step is most likely to add 3 to both sides, so that 3 cancels out, and 15 turns into 18.

The answer is: Step 4: 3x = 18
(I don't know if you want me to continue or not, but I will) ;)

Then divide by 3 on both sides so that 3 cancels out and 18 turns into 6, and you have the value of x.

Step 5: x = 6

You can check your answer by replacing x with 6.

5 · 6 - 2 · 6 - 3 = -2 + 17
15 = 15

Hope this helped! If you have anymore questions or don't understand, please comment or DM me. :)

I need help with 10. A-C please

denis-greek [22]

A. first total salary (S) is what is being found so put that on one side of the equal side, then 100 dollars are being made and this is not changed so we don't need a variable, put that on the other side of the equal sign. and since sales (X) is changing, keep the variable, 30% of that is added to the salary, so multiply that by x (first turn it into a decimal, divide it by 100) and add that to the initial 100

S=100+.3X

B. do the same thing above but with a new decimal and initial salary

S=150+.15X

C. since they both need to be equal (S=S) you can replace the S on one equation with the other

100+.3X=150+.15X

Whichwhich would you measure using inches? A. length of a pen B. height of a flagpole C. length of a cross-country race course D

Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

The length of a pen.

Step-by-step explanation:

A length of a pen is around three inches and is reasonable but all of the others are way too big and can be measured in feet or miles.

Answer:

$\mathrm{The\:solution\:is}$ :

$x=\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}\space\left\{y\ge \:0\right\}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$y=\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}$

Taking square of both sides

$y^2=\left(\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)\:^2$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}\left(\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)^2\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$y^2-\left(\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)^2=\left(\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)^2-\left(\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)^2$

$\mathrm{Simplify}$

$y^2-\left(\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)^2=0$

As we know that $\mathrm{Apply\:Difference\:of\:Two\:Squares\:Formula:\:}x^2-y^2=\left(x+y\right)\left(x-y\right)$

$\mathrm{Factor\:}y^2-\left(\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)^2:\quad \left(y+\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)\left(y-\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)$

$\left(y+\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)\left(y-\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)=0$

$\mathrm{Using\:the\:Zero\:Factor\:Principle:\quad \:If}\:ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:y+\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}=0$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}y\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$y+\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}-y=0-y$

$\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}=-y$

$\mathrm{Square\:both\:sides}$

$\left(\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)^2=\left(-y\right)^2$

$\mathrm{Expand\:}\left(\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)^2$

$\left(\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)^2$

$\mathrm{Apply\:radical\:rule}:\quad \sqrt{a}=a^{\frac{1}{2}}$

$=\left(\left(\frac{2x+1}{x-1}\right)^{\frac{1}{2}}\right)^2$

$=\frac{2x+1}{x-1}$

so equation $\left(\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)^2=\left(-y\right)^2$ becomes

$\frac{2x+1}{x-1}=y^2$

now

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:\frac{2x+1}{x-1}=y^2$

$\frac{2x+1}{x-1}=y^2$

$\mathrm{Multiply\:both\:sides\:by\:}x-1$

$\frac{2x+1}{x-1}\left(x-1\right)=y^2\left(x-1\right)$

$2x+1=y^2\left(x-1\right)$

$2x+1=xy^2-y^2$ ∵ $y^2\left(x-1\right):\quad xy^2-y^2$

$2x=xy^2-y^2-1$

$2x-xy^2=-y^2-1$

$x\left(2-y^2\right)=-y^2-1$ ∵ $\mathrm{Factor}\:2x-xy^2:\quad x\left(2-y^2\right)$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}2-y^2$

$\frac{x\left(2-y^2\right)}{2-y^2}=-\frac{y^2}{2-y^2}-\frac{1}{2-y^2}$

$x=\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}$

$y+\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}=0:\quad x=\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}\space\left\{y\le \:0\right\}$

similarly

$y-\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}=0:\quad x=\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}\space\left\{y\ge \:0\right\}$

$\mathrm{Verify\:Solutions}:\quad x=\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}$

$\mathrm{Check\:the\:solutions\:by\:plugging\:them\:into\:}y^2=\left(\sqrt{\frac{2x+1}{x-1}}\right)^2$

$\mathrm{Remove\:the\:ones\:that\:don't\:agree\:with\:the\:equation.}$

$\mathrm{Plug}\quad x=\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}$

$y^2=\left(\sqrt{\frac{2\left(\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}\right)+1}{\left(\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}\right)-1}}\right)^2$

$\mathrm{Subtract\:}\left(\sqrt{\frac{2\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}+1}{\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}-1}}\right)^2\mathrm{\:from\:both\:sides}$

$y^2-\left(\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot \frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}+1}{\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}-1}}\right)^2=\left(\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot \frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}+1}{\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}-1}}\right)^2-\left(\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot \frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}+1}{\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}-1}}\right)^2$

$y^2-\left(\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot \frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}+1}{\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}-1}}\right)^2=0$

$\mathrm{Factor\:}y^2-\left(\sqrt{\frac{2\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}+1}{\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}-1}}\right)^2:\quad \left(y+\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot \frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}+1}{\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}-1}}\right)\left(y-\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot \frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}+1}{\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}-1}}\right)$

$\left(y+\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot \frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}+1}{\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}-1}}\right)\left(y-\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot \frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}+1}{\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}-1}}\right)=0$

$\mathrm{Using\:the\:Zero\:Factor\:Principle:\quad \:If}\:ab=0\:\mathrm{then}\:a=0\:\mathrm{or}\:b=0\:\left(\mathrm{or\:both}\:a=0\:\mathrm{and}\:b=0\right)$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:y+\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot \frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}+1}{\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}-1}}=0:\quad y\le \:0$

$\mathrm{Solve\:}\:y-\sqrt{\frac{2\cdot \frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}+1}{\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}-1}}=0:\quad y\ge \:0$

$\mathrm{True\:for\:all}\:y$

Therefore, $\mathrm{The\:solution\:is}$ :

$x=\frac{-y^2-1}{2-y^2}\space\left\{y\ge \:0\right\}$

I really need help with number 12

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

7.8125 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

Because 5 gallons would cover 1600 square-foot wall so 1 gallon would cover:

1600 / 5 = 320 square-foot wall.

So to cover 2500 square foot-wall, we need in total of:

2500 / 320 = 7.8125 gallons of paint

Hope this can help you :3
