Since they tell us that Q is the midpoint you now understand that the line is split evenly.
PQ=QR
2x+3=3x-2
2x+5=3x
x=5.
Answer:
see explanation
Step-by-step explanation:
(a)
Given
2k - 6k² + 4k³ ← factor out 2k from each term
= 2k(1 - 3k + 2k²)
To factor the quadratic
Consider the factors of the product of the constant term ( 1) and the coefficient of the k² term (+ 2) which sum to give the coefficient of the k- term (- 3)
The factors are - 1 and - 2
Use these factors to split the k- term
1 - k - 2k + 2k² ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
1(1 - k) - 2k(1 - k) ← factor out (1 - k) from each term
= (1 - k)(1 - 2k)
1 - 3k + 2k² = (1 - k)(1 - 2k) and
2k - 6k² + 4k³ = 2k(1 - k)(1 - 2k)
(b)
Given
2ax - 4ay + 3bx - 6by ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )
= 2a(x - 2y) + 3b(x - 2y) ← factor out (x - 2y) from each term
= (x - 2y)(2a + 3b)
Answer:
w=4
Step-by-step explanation:
2(48)+2(8w)+2(6w)=208
1) Start by Distributing the value outside of the parenthesis:
96+16w+12w=208
2) Combine alike terms:
96+28w=208
3) Subtract 96 from both sides:
28w=112
4)Divide both sides by 28 to isolate w:
w=4

Answer:
130
Step-by-step explanation:
2(4x - 3) + 6(3y - 5)
2(4 × 5 - 3) + 6(3 × 7 - 5)
2(20 - 3) + 6(21 - 5)
2(17) + 6(16)
34 + 96
130
Answer:
33 1/3 L of the 40% solution, 16 2/3 L of the 25% solution
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up two equations...
Let x represent the number of Liters of the 40% solution
Let y represent the number of Liters of the 25% solution
We need 50 liters total, so
x + y = 50
and we need the 50 L to be 35% solution, so
0.4x = 0.25y = 0.35(50)
Solve the first equation for one variable...
x = 50 - y (subtract y from both sides in equation 1)
Now substitute that value into the second equation...
0.4(50 - y) + 0.25y = 17.5 (x becomes 50 - y, 0.35(50) = 17.5)
Now solve for y...
20 - 0.4y + 0.25y = 17.5
-0.15y = -2.5
y = 16.66666667
y = 16 2/3 L
So we need to plug that into the first equation to find 'x'
x + 16 2/3 = 50
x = 50 - 16 2/3
x = 33 1/3
