When solving negative one over five (x − 25) = 7, what is the correct sequence of operations?

Mathematics
1 answer:
Stels [109]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Multiply each side by −5, add 25 to each side

Step-by-step explanation:

-1/5(x-25) = 7

Multiply each side by -5/1 to clear the fraction

-5/1* -1/5(x-25) = 7*-5/1

x-25 = -35

Then add 25 to each side

x-25+25 = -35+25

x = -10

Find the value of x
AfilCa [17]
The answer is X = 12.
This is how to get that answer: the formula for the intersecting secant and tangent outside the circle is a^2 = b(b+c) If you use the numbers in the pic you will get x^2 = 9(9+7) so the number after the equal sign will be 144, so x^2 = 144. To undo the square youre gonna use the square root on both sides, so you have X = 12.

A person on tour has dollar 360 for his daily expenses. If he extends his tour for 4 days, he has to cut down his daily expenses
mash [69]

Answer:

The original duration of the tour = 20 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution:

Total expenses for the tour = $360

Let the original tour duration be for x days.

So, for x days the total expense = $360

<em>Thus the daily expense in dollars can be given by</em> = \frac{360}{x}

Tour extension and effect on daily expenses.

The tour is extended by 4 days.

<em>Tour duration now</em> = (x+4) days

On extension, his daily expense is cut by $3

<em>New daily expense in dollars </em>= (\frac{360}{x}-3)

Total expense in dollars can now be given as:  (x+4)(\frac{360}{x}-3)

Simplifying by using distribution (FOIL).

(x.\frac{360}{x})+(x(-3)+(4.\frac{360}{x})+(4(-3))

360-3x+\frac{1440}{x}-12

348-3x+\frac{1440}{x}

We know total expense remains the same which is = $360.

So, we have the equation as:

348-3x+\frac{1440}{x}=360

Multiplying each term with x to remove fractions.

348x-3x^2+1440=360x

Subtracting 348x both sides

348x-348x-3x^2+1440=360x-348x

-3x^2+1440=12x

Dividing each term with -3.

\frac{-3x^2}{-3}+\frac{1440}{-3}=\frac{12x}{-3}

x^2-480=-4x

Adding 4x both sides.

x^2+4x-480=-4x+4x

x^2+4x-480=0

Solving using quadratic formula.

For a quadratic equation: ax^2+bx+c=0

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

Plugging in values from the equation we got.

x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{(4)^2-4(1)(-480)}}{2(1)}

x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{16+1920}}{2}

x=\frac{-4\pm\sqrt{1936}}{2}

x=\frac{-4\pm44}{2}

So, we have

x=\frac{-4+44}{2}   and x=\frac{-4-44}{2}

x=\frac{40}{2}   and x=\frac{-48}{2}

∴ x=20           and x=-24

Since number of days cannot be negative, so we take x=20 as the solution for the equation.

Thus, the original duration of the tour = 20 days
