Question 9 of 15 (1 point)

Mathematics

7 0

The number is -9

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number then according to given statement

4x+10 = x-17

Subtracting 10 from both sides

4x+10-10 = x-17-10\\4x = x-27

Subtracting x from both sides

4x-x = x-x-27\\3x = -27

Dividing both sides by 3

\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{-27}{3}\\ x = -9

<u>Verification:</u>

4(-9)+10 = -9-17\\-36+10=-26\\-26=-26

The number is -9

What is 1/4y-1=1/2x+7
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

  a linear equation in x and y

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is a linear equation (all variables to the first power) relating the variables x and y. There are an infinite number of values of x and y that will satisfy this equation.

When graphed on an x-y plane, those solution values will fall on a straight line with a slope of 2. It will cross the y-axis at y=32, and the x-axis at x=-16.

The length of a rectangular photo is 1 centimeter less than three times its width. If the area of the photo is 102 square centim
noname [10]

Answers:

  • Length = 17
  • Width = 6

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

How to get those answers:

Let w be the unknown width in centimeters. This variable is some positive real number. This means w > 0 which will be useful later.

The length is "1 cm less than 3 times its width" and it tells us the length is defined by the expression 3w-1. Whatever w is, we triple it to get 3w and then subtract 1 to get the final length.

Multiply the length and width to get the area 102

length*width = area

(3w-1)*w = 102

3w^2-w = 102

3w^2-w-102 = 0

We could guess and check our way to factoring this, but that's not very efficient. The quadratic formula is the better option. It may seem a bit messy, but it's a more direct path that doesn't involve guessing.

w = \frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}\\\\w = \frac{-(-1)\pm\sqrt{(-1)^2-4(3)(-102)}}{2(3)}\\\\w = \frac{1\pm\sqrt{1225}}{6}\\\\w = \frac{1\pm35}{6}\\\\w = \frac{1+35}{6}\ \text{ or } \ w = \frac{1-35}{6}\\\\w = \frac{36}{6}\ \text{ or } \ w = \frac{-34}{6}\\\\w = 6\ \text{ or } \ w \approx -5.667\\\\

We ignore the second solution (w = -5.667 approximately) because we stated earlier that w > 0. In other words, a negative length does not make sense, so that's why we ignore it.

-----------------

If w = 6 cm is the width, then 3w-1 = 3*6-1 = 18-1 = 17 cm is the length.

Note that length*width = 17*6 = 102 which is the proper area we want. This confirms the answers.
