I'm reasking a previous question to make it more clear. This is a Linear Equation that I must solve. It includes fractions (the

2 terms on the left side). Here goes: x÷2 - (10x-25)÷10 = 3(x+3) - (x-14). Please help

x/2 - (10x - 25)/10 = 3(x + 3) - (x - 14)


Multiply each term by 10 to eliminate the fractions:-


5x - (10x - 25) = 30(x + 3) - 10(x - 14)


5x - 10x + 25 = 30x + 90 - 10x + 140

5x - 10x - 30x + 10x = 90 + 140 - 25

-25x = 205

x = -8.2 answer

Assuming the equation is:

\frac{x}{2}-\frac{10x-25}{10}=3(x+3)-(x-14)


When fractions involve numeric denominators, the fractions can be removed by multiplying (both sides) by the LCM of the denominators.


Here the denominators are 2 and 10, hence the LCM is 10.


Multiply by 10 on both sides, not forgetting to distribute when multiplying on the right side:

10\frac{x}{2}-10\frac{10x-25}{10}=10*3(x+3)-10(x-14)

simplify, remember that there are always implied parentheses around numerators and denominators:

5x-(10x-25)=30(x+3)-10(x-14)

Now, distribute, i.e. remove parentheses and distribute:

5x-10x+25=30x+90-10x+140

Simplify

-5x+25=20x+230

transpose terms

25-230=20x+5x

solve

x=-205/25=-41/5


In this particular case, we can also take advantage of the term

(10x-25)/10=5(2x-5)/10=(2x-5)/2 which greatly simplifies the solution process, because the LCM will then be 2 instead of 10.

If we do that, the solution will be:

Multiply by 2 on both sides, not forgetting to distribute when multiplying on the right side:

\frac{x}{2}-\frac{10x-25}{10}=3(x+3)-(x-14)

simplify, remember that there are always implied parentheses around numerators and denominators:

2\frac{x}{2}-2\frac{2x-5}{2}=2*3(x+3)-2(x-14)

x-(2x-5)=6(x+3)-2(x-14)

Now, distribute, i.e. remove parentheses and distribute:

x-2x+5=6x+18-2x+28

Simplify

-x+5=4x+46

solve

5-46=4x+x

-41=5x

x=-41/5

with the same results.

Problem 1

Answer: Choice B. X is greater than or equal to 4

The closed circle at 4 indicates that this value is included in the solution set. So we will have an "or equal to" as part of the answer. The shading to the right suggests "greater than". Combine "greater than" and "or equal to" and we have a "greater than or equal to" sign.

===================================================

Problem 2

Everywhere is shaded but -4 on the number line. So x can be any number but -4. The answer isn't listed (probably got cut off), but it should be x \ne -4 (x is not equal to -4). The slash through the equal sign means "not equal to"

14. The figure shows a slice of an apple pie in the shape of a sector of a circle with centre O and radius 8cm. A cut is made al
Strike441 [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

(i) Using the law of cosines, we can find that

cos(O) = \frac{8^{2}+8^{2} - 7^{2}}{8*8*2} ≈ 0.62, so O ≈ 0.9

(ii) Since the whole pie has 2π radians (or 360 degrees), we can divide 0.9 by 2π to get around 6.9 slices from the pie

(iii) The area of the shaded segment can be found by finding sector OAB and subtracting triangle OAB from that. Sector OAB can be found by finding the area of the pie (π*8², since 8 is the radius) and dividing that by 6.9, so we get 64π/6.9 ≈ 29. Then, the area of the triangle is √p(p-a)(p-b)(p-c), with p being the perimeter and a, b, and c being the sides. Plugging 7, 8, and 8 in, we get 25.1781 as our area, so the difference is around 3.8

What is the distance between he points (5,14) and (18,3)
Gemiola [76]

the distance bewteen points (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) is

d=\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}

given (5,14) and (18,3)

d=\sqrt{(18-5)^2+(3-14)^2}

d=\sqrt{(13)^2+(-11)^2}

d=\sqrt{169+121}

d=\sqrt{290}

the distance between those points is √290
