Answer: x = -24

Step-by-step explanation:

X/12 + 1/3 = -5/3

Find the LCM of the left hand side of the equation:

x + 4/12 = -5/3

Then cross multiply

3(x + 4) = -5/3

Open the bracket

3x + 12 = - 60

Subtract 12 from both sides of the equation

3x + 12 - 12 = -60 - 12

3x = -72

Divide both sides by 3

x = -72/3

x = -24

Check:

-24/12 + 1/3 = -5/3

Find the LCM of the left hand side of the equation

-24 + 4/12 = -20/12

Divide by a common factor of 4

-20/12 = -5/3

How many solutions can be found for the linear equation? 3(x+4)=3x+4

Hitman42 [59]

Hi there! The answer is 0 solutions.

$3(x + 4) = 3x + 4$
First we need to work out the parenthesis (for instance possible by using rainbow technique).

$3x + 12 = 3x + 4$
Now subtract 12.

$3x = 3x - 8$
Now we can see that the right side of the equation is always 8 smaller than the left side of the equation. Because the right is always smaller, this equation cannot be solved. Therefore there are no solutions to this equation. The answer is 0 solutions.

Wastewater is filling barrels at the rate of 11 quarts per hour. The recycling facility picks up 120 full barrels on each trip,

givi [52]

120 barrels x 12 quarts per barrel = 1440 total quarts

1440 quarts / 11 quarts per hour = 130.91 hours to fill all the barrels

1 day = 24 hours

130.91 hours / 24 hours = 5.45 days = 5.5 days

I will mark as brainliest. Area of a square is 25^m. Find its Perimeter. With working please

77julia77 [94]

Answer:

perimeter = 20 m

Step-by-step explanation:

given the area of the square = 25 m² and

area of a square = s² ( where s is the side length ), then

s² = 25 ( take the square root of both sides )

s = $\sqrt{25}$ = 5 ← length of side

perimeter = 4s = 4 × 5 = 20 m

The children in my subdivision were bored one summer and decided to hold a competition to see who could run to the end of the st

Ainat [17]

Answer:

6.7% of children who finished the race in under 45 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 75 seconds

Standard Deviation, σ = 20 seconds

We are given that the distribution of time of completion is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(finished the race in under 45 seconds.)

P(x < 45)

$P( x < 45) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{45 - 75}{20}) = P(z < -1.5)$

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,

$P(x < 45) = 0.067 = 6.7\%$

6.7% of children who finished the race in under 45 seconds.
