Answer:

8 turtles

Step-by-step explanation:

Each of Liam's sea turtle sculpture weighs 3\8 pounds and he ships them in a wooden box that weighs 2 pounds.

The weight of the box filled with the sea turtles is 5 pounds.

This means that the weight of the sea turtles in the wooden box is:

5 - 2 = 3 pounds

To find the number of sea turtles in the box, we simply divide the total weight of the turtles in the box by the weight of each turtle. That is:

\frac{3}{\frac{3}{8} } = 8 turtles

There are 8 turtles in the box.

What is the solution of 15=-4+z/3
lana [24]
15=-4+z/3

+4 +15 = +4 -4 +z/3
cancels the 4 on the right side

19 = z/3

3 x 19 = z/3 x 3
cancels 3 on the right side

I think the answer is z = 57

Select the two values of x that are roots of this equation 3x^2 + 1 =5x
Zina [86]

Answer:

x = 1.434 and x=0.232

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the root of the equation stated above we need to:

(1) Write the polynomial equation with zero on the right hand side:

3x^{2} + 1 = 5x ⇒ 3x^{2} -5x + 1 = 0

(2) Divide the whole equation by 3

3x^{2} -5x + 1 = 0 ⇒ x^{2} -\frac{5}{3}x + \frac{1}{3}= 0

(3) Use the quadratic formula to solve the quadratic equation:

The quadratic formula states that the two solutions for a quadratic equation is given by:

\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2} - 4ac}}{2a} (1)

In this case, a = 1, b = -\frac{5}{3}, c= \frac{1}{3}

Substituiting a, b and c in equation (1) We get:

\frac{-\frac{5}{3}±\sqrt{(-\frac{5}{3})^{2} - 4(1)(\frac{1}{3})}}{2(1)} (1)

The two solutions are:

x = 1.434 and x=0.232
