A wood stove burns 4 same sized logs in 2 hours how many logs does the stove burn in 8 hours

2 answers:

8 0

By using the information you have, you can use make a proportion to solve this. You burn 4 logs in 2 hours or 4/2. You are comparing this to your unknown number, x, over 8 hours. So it looks like this 4/2 = x/8. You read it as four logs in two hours is x logs in eight hours. To solve you cross multiply. You do 2 times x and 4 times eight. That would be 2x= 32. Your goal is getting x alone, so divide each side by 2. Your answer is x= 16 logs in eight hours. You can solve this different and maybe easier ways but this is the best way if you want to get used to going this in algebra. Hope that helps! :)

16 because 2 divided by 8 = 4 and 4×4 =16

The quadratic equation 2x^2+4x-30=0 has two solutions. one of the solutions is x=3 the other solution is?

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

2x^2+4x-30=0

Step-by-step explanation:

2x^2+10x-6x-30=0

2x(x+5)-6(x+5)=0

(2x-6)(x+5)=0

2x-6=0 x+5=0

x=6/2 x=-5

Which of the following is a solution of x2 + 6x = −18? x = 3 − 3i x = −3 + 3i x = −6 + 3i x = 6 − 3i

Marina86 [1]

Step 1 ) Move all terms right side of the equation.

$\displaystyle\ x^{2} + 6x = -18$

$\displaystyle\ x^{2} + 6x + 18 = -18 + 18$

$\displaystyle\ x^{2} +6x + 18 = 0$

Step 2 ) Apply quadratic formula. (Note: There are 2 solutions)

$\displaystyle\ x^{2} +6x + 18 = 0$

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-b\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}, \displaystyle\ x = \frac{-b-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a}$

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6+\sqrt{6^{2}-4 * 18}}{2} , \displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6-\sqrt{6^{2}-4*18}}{2}$

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6+6i}{2}$ ,

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6-6i}{2}$

Step 3 ) Simplify.

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6+6i}{2}$ ,

$\displaystyle\ x = \frac{-6-6i}{2}$

$\displaystyle\ x = -3+ 3i$ ,

$\displaystyle\ x = -3 - 3i$

Since the options only provide one of the answer we found, the answer is...

$\displaystyle\ x = -3 - 3i$

The Smith family is shopping for a new car and they are basing their decision on color and style. Explain how many color choices

Yanka [14]

Sample response: The Smith family has 2 choices to make, color and style. By the fundamental counting principle, the product of the number of choices of color and style must equal 8. So, there could be 1 color and 8 style choices, 2 colors and 4 styles, 4 colors and 2 styles, or 8 colors and 1 style.
