Solve equation a+6a-9=30

1 answer:

3 0

To solve any equation, we have to get the variables and the constants (numbers) on opposite sides of the equals sign.

First, we have to combine the like terms on the left side of the equation, resulting in

7a - 9 = 30

Then, because we want the constants on the right side of the equation, we have to +9 to cancel out the -9 on the left side.

7a=39

Next, the a has a coefficient of 7, which it is multiplied by. To undo multiplication, you have to divide. Therefore, we should divide both sides by 7.

a= 5 4/7 or 5.57142857143

In improper fraction form, a = 39/7, as this fraction cannot be simplified any farther.

Answer:

y = 3x + 2 is the equation

Step-by-step explanation:

y intercept is where x is 0 that means y intercept is 2.

slope is change in y over change in x which is 3

Suppose x has a distribution with μ = 40 and σ = 12. (a) If random samples of size n = 16 are selected, can we say anything abou

Temka [501]

Answer:

a: no the sample size is too small

b: Yes, the distribution is normal with a mean of 40 and standard deviation of 12

Step-by-step explanation:

a: If n < 30, we need to know that the sample is normally distributed or else we can't determine anything. When sample sized get very large, they usually resemble normally distributed data sets so we can still make conjectures even if the data isn't officially normally distributed

b: The question tells us that the sample is normally distributed, so even though n < 30, we can still make conjectures about the population

The actual length of side y is 22cm. Use the scale drawing to find the length of side x.

kozerog [31]

Given:

The actual length of side y is 22cm.

To find:

The length of side x by using the scale drawing.

Solution:

We know that the corresponding sides of original figure and scale drawing are proportional.

$\dfrac{x}{1.8}=\dfrac{y}{1.4}$

$\dfrac{x}{1.8}=\dfrac{22}{1.4}$

$x=\dfrac{22}{1.4}\times 1.8$

$x\approx 28.286$

Therefore, the length of side x is about 28.286 cm.

Steve likes to entertain friends at parties with "wire tricks." Suppose he takes a piece of wire 60 inches long and cuts it into

Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

a) the length of the wire for the circle = $(\frac{60\pi }{\pi+4}) in$

b)the length of the wire for the square = $(\frac{240}{\pi+4}) in$

c) the smallest possible area = 126.02 in² into two decimal places

Step-by-step explanation:

If one piece of wire for the square is y; and another piece of wire for circle is (60-y).

Then; we can say; let the side of the square be b

so 4(b)=y

b= $\frac{y}{4}$

Area of the square which is L² can now be said to be;

$A_S=(\frac{y}{4})^2 = \frac{y^2}{16}$

On the otherhand; let the radius (r) of the circle be;

2πr = 60-y

$r = \frac{60-y}{2\pi }$

Area of the circle which is πr² can now be;

$A_C= \pi (\frac{60-y}{2\pi } )^2$

$=( \frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2$

Total Area (A);

A = $A_S+A_C$

= $\frac{y^2}{16} +(\frac{60-y}{4\pi } )^2$

For the smallest possible area; $\frac{dA}{dy}=0$

∴ $\frac{2y}{16}+\frac{2(60-y)(-1)}{4\pi}=0$

If we divide through with (2) and each entity move to the opposite side; we have:

$\frac{y}{18}=\frac{(60-y)}{2\pi}$

By cross multiplying; we have:

2πy = 480 - 8y

collect like terms

(2π + 8) y = 480

which can be reduced to (π + 4)y = 240 by dividing through with 2

$y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}$

∴ since $y= \frac{240}{\pi+4}$ , we can determine for the length of the circle ;

60-y can now be;

= $60-\frac{240}{\pi+4}$

= $\frac{(\pi+4)*60-240}{\pi+40}$

= $\frac{60\pi+240-240}{\pi+4}$

= $(\frac{60\pi}{\pi+4})in$

also, the length of wire for the square (y) ; $y= (\frac{240}{\pi+4})in$

The smallest possible area (A) = $\frac{1}{16} (\frac{240}{\pi+4})^2+(\frac{60\pi}{\pi+y})^2(\frac{1}{4\pi})$

= 126.0223095 in²

≅ 126.02 in² ( to two decimal places)
