X+y+z=22

(x+y+z+t)/4=8
subsitute
x+y+z=22
(22+t)/4=8
multiplly by 4
22+t=32
subtract 22
t=10

the fourth number is 10

Twins issac and isaiah were just born issac weighs 6 pounds 2 ounces and isaiah weighs 5 pounds 4 ounces.How many ounces do issa

Ivanshal [37]

Answer: $11\ \text{pounds}\ 6\ \text{ounces}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Issac and Isaiah born weighing 6 pounds 2 ounces and 5 pounds and 4 ounces.

1 Pound is equivalent to 16 ounces

Issac weighs

$\Rightarrow 6+\dfrac{2}{16}\ \text{Pounds}$

Isaiah weighs

$\Rightarrow 5+\dfrac{4}{16}\ \text{Pounds}$

Their combined weight is

$\Rightarrow 6+5+\dfrac{2}{16}+\dfrac{4}{16}\\\\\Rightarrow 11+\dfrac{6}{16}\ or\\\\\Rightarrow 11\ \text{pounds}\ 6\ \text{ounces}$

A box is being created out of a 15 inch by 10 inch sheet of metal. Equal-sized squares are cutout of the corners, then the sides

ivolga24 [154]

Answer:

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box has largest volume.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A box is being created out of a 15 inches by 10 inches sheet of metal.

The length of the one side of the squares which are cut out of the each corners of the metal sheet be x.

The length of the metal box be = (15-2x) inches.

The width of the metal box be =(10-2x) inches

The height of the metal box be =x inches

Then, the volume of the metal box= length×width×height

=(15-2x)(10-2x)x cubic inches

=(150x-50x²+4x³) cubic inches

∴ V= 4x³-50x²+15x

Differentiating with respect to x

V'=12x²-100x+15

Again differentiating with respect to x

V''=24x-100

For maximum or minimum value, V'=0

12x²-100x+15=0

Apply quadratic formula $x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ , here a=12, b= -100 and c=15

$x=\frac{-(-100)\pm\sqrt{(-100)^2-4.12.15}}{2.12}$

$\Rightarrow x=\frac{100\pm\sqrt{9280}}{2.12}$

$\Rightarrow x=0.1528,8.18$

For x= 8.18, The value of (15-2x) and (10-2x) will negative.

∴x=0.1528 .

Now, $V''|_{x=0.1528}=24(0.1528)-100$

∴At x=0.1528 inch, the volume of the metal box will be maximum.

Therefore the dimensions of the square should be 0.1528 inch by 0.1528 inch so, the box has largest volume.

Solve by completing the square. Round your answers to the nearest tenth and then locate the greater solution. <img src="https://

Andrews [41]

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write our Givens

${x}^{2} + 10x - 7 = 0$

Move the constant term ,(the term with no variable) to the right side.

Here we have a negative 7, so we add 7 to both sides

${x}^{2} + 10x = 7$

Next, we take the linear coeffeicent and divide it by 2 then square it.

$( \frac{10}{2} ) {}^{2} = 25$

Then we add that to both sides

${x}^{2} + 10x + 25 = 7 + 25$

${ {x}^{2} } + 10x + 25 = 32$

Next, we factor the left,

$(x + 5)(x + 5) = 32$

we got 5 because 5 add to 10 and multiply to 25 as well.

so we get

$(x + 5) {}^{2} = 32$

This is called a perfect square trinomial.

Next, we take the square root of both sides

$x + 5 = ± \sqrt{32}$

± menas that we have a positive and negative solution.

Subtract 5 form both side so we get

$x = - 5± \sqrt{32}$

The greater solution is when sqr root of 32 is positive so the answer to that is

$\sqrt{32} - 5 = 0.7$

Need an explanation and answer for -25/28 ÷ (5/4)

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

-5/7

Step-by-step explanation:

When you divide fractions, you flip the second fraction, then multiply.

So it becomes -25/28 x 4/5.

This equals -100/140 which reduces to -5/7.
