The person that factored the polynomial did one thing wrong -- they used minus signs when they should've used plus signs. We can figure this out because of the values of the quantities in the original trinomial. Since all of them are positive, we know that either there are two plus signs or that there is a minus and a plus sign with the value to the right of the plus sign being greater than the value to the right of the minus sign. But, that wouldn't work here, so the only thing wrong with this answer is that the plus signs should be minus signs.
Answer:
140 ml
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the amount of water in Beaker X and y be the amount of water in Beaker Y.
<u>Then we get following equations:</u>
<u>First part</u>
- x - 50 = 3/7(y + 50)
- 7x -350 = 3y + 150
- 7x = 3y + 500
<u>Second part</u>
- x + 100 = 4(y - 100)
- x + 100 = 4y - 400
- x = 4y - 500
<u>Substitute x in first equation:</u>
- 7(4y - 500) = 3y + 500
- 28y - 3500 = 3y + 500
- 28y - 3y = 500 + 3500
- 25y = 4000
- y = 4000/25
- y = 160 ml
<u>Then finding x:</u>
- x = 4*160 - 500
- x = 640 - 500
- x = 140 ml
Initial amount of water in Beaker X is 140 ml, in Beaker Y is 160 ml
Answer:
10 km/h
Step-by-step explanation:
I'm not really sure about this but no ones answering your question and I wanna help.
So basically to calculate the average speed you need to divide the distance travelled by time taken
But you do not have the distance traveled. But it is mentioned that it takes u 30 minutes to walk from home to school when walking at 5 km/h so to find the distance all you have to do is... 30 x 5 = 150 km
Now that we have the time and distance all we have to do is find the average speed.
Average Speed = distance ÷ time
So 150 ÷ 15 = 10 km/h
when the two books were published
4.5(8 - x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3x + 24)
36 - 4.5x + 36 = 102 - 7.5x - 60
72 - 4.5x = 42 - 7.5x
-4.5x + 7.5x = 42 - 72
3x = - 30
x = -30/3
x = -10 <===
Hope this helps!
