Answer:

x = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

If, in fact, this is the polynomial you have:

$\frac{7}{4}x-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{5}{8}(x-\frac{2}{3})$ , then x = 0.

Begin by distributing the 5/8 into the parenthesis to simplify to:

$\frac{7}{4}x-\frac{5}{6}=\frac{5}{8}x-\frac{10}{24}$

The next thing to do would be to find the LCM and get rid of all those fractions! Each one of those denominators goes into 24 evenly, so we multiply every single term by 24:

$(24)\frac{7}{4}x-(24)\frac{5}{6}=(24)\frac{5}{8}x-(24)\frac{10}{24}$

Divide each denominator into 24 and you get:

$(6)7x-(4)5=(3)5x-(2)10$

Multiply all that to get

42x - 20 = 15x - 20

Combine like terms to get

27x = 0 so

x = 0

The hawk population in a county is declining at a rate of 1.4% per year. the population was 3800 in the year 2016. which answer

Anika [276]

After a year the population will be 98.6% (100% - 1.4%) 98.6% as a decimal is 0.986 ... so after 1 year it will be: <span>

3800 x 0.986

after 2 years it will be:

3800 x 0.986 x 0.986...

after 3 years: 3800 x (0.986)^3

<span>in 2018. And after 4 years it will be 3800 x (0.986)^4 = which is 3591.62724 or 3592</span></span>

a 9ft ladder is placed 4.5 feet from the base of a wall. How high up will the ladder reach? Round to the nearest hundredth.

spin [16.1K]

Answer:

$\huge\boxed{7.79 \ \text{feet}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that we have a 9 foot long ladder resting upon a wall, with an unknown height, but the ladder is 4.5 feet away from the wall.

This can be represented as a triangle, where x is the unknown side.

We can use The Pythagorean Theorem to find the value of x. The theorem states that $a^2+b^2=c^2$ , where a and b are the lengths of the legs and c is the length of the hypotenuse.
