1/4x + 3 = 2x - 5/8

Find least common multiplier of 4x,8 is  8x

Multiply by LCM = 8x

1/4 x * 8 x + 3 * 8 x = 2 x * 8 x - 5/8 * 8 x

Refine:

2 + 24 = 16 x² - 5 x

Subtract 16 x² - 5 x from both sides:

2 + 24 x - ( 16 x² -5 x) = 16 x² - 5 x - (16 x²-5 x)

Refine: - 16 x² - 29 x + 2 = 0

Solving with the quadratic formula :

for a = - 16 , b = 29 and c = 2

x1 = - 29 √ 29² - 4(-16)*2
        -----------------------------
              2 (-16)

x1 = - √ 969  - 29
      ---------------------
                32


x2 = - 29 - √ 29² -4(-16)*2
        -----------------------------
               2(-16)

x2 = √ 969  + 29
      ---------------------
                32

The final solutions to the quadratic equation are:


x1 = - √ 969 - 29
      -------------------
              32

x2 = √ 969 + 29
      -------------------
             32


hope this helps!

lawyer [7]

Answer:

39.25

Step-by-step explanation:

diameter. is 1 therefore radius is 1/2

formula is πr²h

where

h is height=5

=3.14x½²x5

=3.925 for one paint

therefore for 10 paints, we have

=3.925x10

=39.25

Mark and Trisha are traveling in the same direction and Mark is going 16 miles per hour. Trisha is going 12 miles per hour but s
Lorico [155]

Answer:

32 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Let the total distance be x miles

Marks speed= 16miles per hour

Trisha's speed= 12 miles per hour

Trisha has covered 8 miles and has  (x-8) miles to finish line

We know that

Speed= distance/time

time= distance/speed

Hence the time taken for Mark to finish is

time= x/16---------------1

The time taken for Trisha to finish is

time= (x-8)/12-----------2

equate 1 and 2 above

x/16= (x-8)/12

cross multiply

16(x-8)= 12*x

16x-128= 12x

collect like terms

16x-12x= 128

4x=128

x= 128/4

x= 32 miles

Hence they will meet at exactly 32 miles along the way

Let g(x) = 4x - 20 and h(x) = -1/2x + k. For what value of k is the zero of h(x) equivalent to the zero of g(x)
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The zero of a function is also known as the x-intercept of a function. The x-intercept of a function exists where y = 0. So we will begin by setting each of those lines = 0:

4x - 20 = 0     and     -1/2x + k = 0 and then solve each for x:

4x = 20 so

x = 5 and

-1/2x = -k and

1/2x = k so

x = 2k. Now we set the 2 x expressions equal to each other and solve for k:

5 = 2k so

k = 5/2
