alexandr402 [8]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

1

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve the equation for x:

3(x + 5) = -4x + 8

<em>Distribute.</em>

3x + 15 = -4x + 8

<em>Combine like terms.</em>

3x + 15 = -4x + 8

+4x         +4x

7x + 15 = 8

     -15   -15

7x = -7

<em>Divide both sides by 7.</em>

x = -1

The following equation has one solution, x = -1.

Answer:

1 solution,  x = -1.

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x + 5 )= −4x + 8

3x + 15 = -4x + 8

3x + 4x = 8 - 15

7x = -7

x = -1.

Alan drew several three-dimensional figures. Which of the following figures has exactly 5 faces and 5 vertices?
Marat540 [252]

Answer:

Rectangular Pyramid

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

A <u><em>rectangular pyramid</em></u> is a three-dimensional figure that has a rectangular base and four lateral triangular faces

so

The total number of faces is 5 (one rectangular face plus four triangular faces)

The total number of vertices is 5 (four at the base and one at the apex)

The length of a rectangle is 6 more than twice the width. if the area is 40 cm^2, find the length and breadth of the rectangle
ra1l [238]

Answer: 3.217 & 12.434

Step-by-step explanation:

If we use <em>w</em> to represent the width, the length will be 6 more than 2 times w.

Hence, the length is 2w+6.

The area of a rectangle would be its length times its width, so let's make an equation to represent it's area.

A=w(2w+6)

We can also substitute 40 in for A as it's given in the question.

40 = w(2w+6)

Distributing <em>w</em> by multiplying it by both terms in the parentheses, we get

40 = 2w^2+6w

We can make the equation simpler by dividing both sides by 2.

20 = w^2+3w

Subtracting both sides by 20 will make the left-hand side 0.

0=w^2+3w-20

Now that we have put this <em>quadratic equation</em> into standard form (ax²+bx+c), we can find its solutions using the quadratic formula.

For reference, the quadratic formula is

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

In this case, a is 1, b is 3, and c is -20.

Substituting, we get

w=\frac{-3\pm\sqrt{3^2-4(1)(-20)}}{2(1)}

w= \frac{-3\pm\sqrt{9+80}}{2}

w=\frac{-3+\sqrt{89}}{2}\hspace{0.1cm}or\hspace{0.1cm}\frac{-3-\sqrt{89}}{2}

Since the second solution results in a negative number, it cannot be the length of w.

w=\frac{-3+\sqrt{89}}{2}\approx3.217

The width/breadth of the rectangle is 3.217 cm.

To calculate the length, let's substitute the width into the expression for the length:

l=2(3.217)+6

l=12.434

The length of this rectangle is 12.434 cm.

The print on the package of -watt General Electric soft-white light-bulbs says that these bulbs have an average life of hours. A
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Hi your question is incomplete attached below is the complete question

answer : p ( X < 725 )  = 0.0116

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Average life of bulbs (μ  ) = 750 hours

standard deviation (б ) = 55 hours

n ( sample size ) = 25

X = 725  

<u>Probability that the mean life of a random sample of 25 bulbs will be less than725 hours </u>

p ( X < 725 ) = p (( X - μ )/ б √n  <  725 - 750 / 55√25 )

                     = P ( Z > - 2.27 )

Hence P ( X < 725 ) = 0.0116  ( using Z-table )
