Answer:

$\Huge \boxed{\mathrm{infinite \ solutions}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\sf 12x + 1 = 3(4x + 1) - 2$

Using distributive property.

$\sf 12x + 1 = 12x+3 - 2$

$\sf 12x + 1 = 12x+1$

Subtracting 1 from both sides.

$\sf 12x=12x$

Dividing both sides by 12.

$\sf x=x$

All real numbers are solutions.

There are infinite solutions.

Answer:

infinitely many

Step-by-step explanation:

12x + 1 = 3(4x + 1) - 2

Distribute

12x + 1 = 12x + 3 - 2

Combine like terms

12x+1 = 12x +1

Subtract 12x from each side

1 =1

Since this is always true, we have infinite solutions

4) x=16
Vertical angles have equal angles when two lines intersect, which they do in this case.
3x-3=2x+13
Solve for x:
x=16

5) 34 degrees
Lines AK and MJ bisect each other perpendicually, so <ADJ is 90 degrees.
4x+3x-8=90
7x-8=90
7x=98
x=14
<CDJ=3x-8
=3(14)-8
=34 degrees

Hope this helps :)

A train goes twice as fast downhill as it can go uphill, and 2/3 feet as fast uphill as it can go on level ground. If it goes 12

Yuri [45]

Answer:

0.5hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed downhill be $x$ ,

Speed uphill is $0.5x$ . We are told than speed uphill is $\frac{2}{3}$ the speed on flat ground. Therefore the speed on level ground will be $\frac{0.5x}{2/3}=0.75x$ .

From this info, we can obtain the actual speed, $v_g$ on level ground as:

$x=120m/h\\0.75x=v_g\\\\\therefore v_g=\frac{0.75x \times 120m/h}{x}\\v_g=90m/h$

speed, distance and time have the relation $s=d/t$ so to obtain time to cover 45miles:

$t=d/s\\=45/90\\=0.5h$

Hence it takes 0.5hrs to cover 45miles on flat ground.

Slope Formula: $\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Slope-Intercept Form: y = mx + b

m - slope
b - y-intercept

Linear Regression

Step-by-step explanation:

We can draw any best line of fit, as long as it is reasonable around the points that are given.

We can just take 2 points and use slope formula and Slope-Intercept Form to find the equation for the best line of fit.

Using Linear Regression, we can determine the true best line of fit using graphing utilities.

Finding the best line of fit

Define 2 points

Point (21600, 205)

Point (27000, 290)

Find slope m

Substitute in point [SF]: $\displaystyle m=\frac{290-205}{27000-21600}$
[Fraction] Subtract: $\displaystyle m=\frac{85}{5400}$
[Fraction] Simplify: $\displaystyle m=\frac{17}{1080}$

Find equation

Define equation [SIF]: $\displaystyle y = \frac{17}{1080}x + b$
Substitute in point: $\displaystyle 290 = \frac{17}{1080}(27000) + b$
Multiply: $\displaystyle 290 = 425 + b$
Isolate y-intercept b: $\displaystyle -135 = b$
Rewrite: $\displaystyle b = -135$
Redefine equation: $\displaystyle y = \frac{17}{1080}x - 135$

Slope-Intercept Form tells us that our slope m = $\displaystyle \frac{17}{1080}$ and our y-intercept $\displaystyle b = -135$ .

Setting this as function f(x), we can see from the graph that it is extremely accurate (Blue line).

Using Linear Regression

Depending on the graphing calc you have, the steps may be different.

Using a graphing calc, we can use statistics and determine the best best line of fit.

When we determine the values, we should see that our equation would be g(x) (Green Line).

Max went to the store and bought 22 apples. He bought twice as many red apples as he did green, and he bought one-third many yel

katrin [286]

Let the number of green apples bought be x

Green apples = x

Red apples = 2x

Yellow apples = 1/3 (2x) = 2/3 x

Total = 22 apples

x + 2x + 2/3 x = 22

11/3 x = 22

11x = 66

x = 6

Green apples = x = 6

Red apples = 2x = 2(6) = 12

Yellow apples = 2/3 (2x) = 2/3 (6) = 4

Answer: Green = 6, Red = 12, Yellow = 4

Tara wants to weigh her three stuffed animals. They will only fit on the scale two at a time. Together Addie and Missy weight 18

Pepsi [2]

Answer: Addie weighs 4 ounces

Missy weighs 14 ounces

Corky weighs 8 ounces

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a represent the weight of Addie.

Let m represent the weight of Missy.

Let c represent the weight of Corky.

Together Addie and Missy weigh 18 ounces. This means that

a + m = 18 - - - - - - - - - 1

Missy and Corky weigh 22 ounces. This means that

m + c = 22

m = 22 - c - - - - - - - - - - 2

Addie and Corky weigh 12 ounces. This means that

a + c = 12

a = 12 - c - - - - - - - - - - - 3

Substituting equation 2 and equation 3 into equation 1, it becomes

22 - c + 12 - c = 18

34 - 2c = 18

- 2c = 18 - 34 = - 16

c = - 16/ - 2 = 8

Substituting c = 8 into equation 2, it becomes

m = 22 - 8

m = 14

Substituting c = 8 into equation 3, it becomes

a = 12 - 8

a = 4
