Answer:

A) 29/8

Step-by-step explanation:

On the left side of the equals sign, we have five x's and nine -1's.

On the right side of the equals sign, we have three -x's and twenty 1's.

Both sides are equal, so:

5(x) + 9(-1) = 3(-x) + 20(1)

5x − 9 = -3x + 20

Add 3x to both sides.

8x − 9 = 20

Add 9 to both sides.

8x = 29

Divide both sides by 8.

x = 29/8

Simplify.<br><br> 2x5 - 6x2 + 4x4y<br> -------------------------<br> 2x
Ede4ka [16]
We have the rational expression \frac{2x^{5}-6x^{2}+4x4y}{2x}; to simplify it, we are going to try to find a common factor in the numerator, and, if we are luckily, that common factor will get rid of the denominator 2x.
Notice that in the denominator all the numbers are divisible by two, so 2 is part of our common factor; also, all the terms have the variable x, and the least exponent of that variable is 1, so x will be the other part of our common factor. Lets put the two parts of our common factor together to get 2x.
Now that we have our common factor, we can rewrite our numerator as follows:
\frac{2x(x^{5}-6x+2(2y)}{2x}
We are luckily, we have 2x in both numerator and denominator, so we can cancel those out:
x^{5}-6x+2(2y)
x^5-6x+4y

We can conclude that the simplified version of our rational function is x^{5}-6x+4y.

Stacy and Neil painted 280 ft2 of their living room wall with 45 gallon of paint. How many square feet can they paint with 3 gal
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

They can paint 18. 66 sq ft with 3 gallons of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Total area painted = 280 sq ft

Total gallons of paint used = 45

So, 45 gallons of paint painted 280 sq ft.

⇒ By UNITARY METHOD,

1 gallon of paint paints (\frac{280}{45} ) sq ft

So, area painted by 1 gallon = 6.22 sq ft

⇒ area painted by 3 gallon = 6.22 sq ft x 3 = 18. 66 sq ft

So, they can paint 18. 66 sq ft with 3 gallons of paint.

Antwaun waters his lawn 3 times a week. If he watered his lawn 24 times in all, which equation could be used to find how many we
MAXImum [283]

Answer:

Antwanun waters his lawn 3 times a week, he watered his lawn 24 . So what you will need to do is divide 3 in 24 to find how many weeks he has been watering his lawn, You get 8. Mr. Antwanun has been watering for 8 weeks. Equation- Antuwantun waters his lawn 3 times a week so if he watered his lawn 24 times, 3 times a week he would have been watering his lawn for 8 weeks.

valkas [14]
I'm assuming you didn't mean to repeat each number 3 times. 

If she did 184 jumping jacks in 4 minutes that means she did 46 jumping jacks per minute.

5 x {3 x [9 - (4 + 1)]} + 20 ÷ 4 x 2 =
adell [148]
To solve a problem like this, we need to start with the innermost parenthesis. Doing that, we get to 4+1, evaluating it giving us 5. This turns our expression into 5 x {3 x [9 - 5]} + 20 ÷ 4 x 2.



Now, the innermost parenthesis is 9-5. Evaluating that gives us 4. Our expression is now 5 x {3 x 4} + 20 ÷ 4 x 2.



Once again, we go to the innermost parenthesis and evaluate whatever is there. This turns our expression into <span>5 x 12 + 20 ÷ 4 x 2.



Now, we can simply use order of operations to compute that the value of the expression is equal to 70. </span>
