1.)18 = 2(4 + x) ||
2.) 18 = 8 + 2x --- Distribute. ||
3.) 10 = 2x --- Isolate the variable by collecting like terms ||
4.) 5 = x

I'd say A. is a good choice.

I would say B because instead of distributing the 2 you could easily divide both sides by 2 and save the hassle of dividing by 2 later. Also A C and D seem to all be saying relatively the same thing. edit: But then again it seems like a tricky question

A car was on sale for

melamori03 [73]

Answer:

p - 0.05p

Step-by-step explanation:

The price of the car is p.

You must subtract from p the amount of 5% of p.

5% of p = 5% * p = 0.05p

5% of p is the same as 0.05p.

Now we subtract 0.05p from p.

p - 0.05p

Malia measures the longer side of a dollar bill using a ruler at school. Which of the following is most likely the quantity she

sergey [27]

Answer:

6.14 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The one side of the dollar bill is 6.14 inch. The 6.14 inches of the dollar approximates the 156.1 mm. When Malia measures the longer side of a dollar bill from her rule it will be approximately 6.14 inches in length. The ruler normally has inches and cm sides. Very few rulers have mm scales. The most probable scale that malia would have measure is in inches.

Answer:

42 Blades

Step-by-step explanation:

So 6 blades on each windmill

6=1 Windmill

so 7 windmills

so do

The sum of first three terms of a finite geometric series is -7/10 and their product is -1/125. [Hint: Use a/r, a, and ar to rep

Alchen [17]

Ooh, fun

geometric sequences can be represented as
$a_n=a(r)^{n-1}$
so the first 3 terms are
$a_1=a$
$a_2=a(r)$
$a_2=a(r)^2$

the sum is -7/10
$\frac{-7}{10}=a+ar+ar^2$
and their product is -1/125
$\frac{-1}{125}=(a)(ar)(ar^2)=a^3r^3=(ar)^3$

from the 2nd equation we can take the cube root of both sides to get
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
note that a=ar/r and ar²=(ar)r
so now rewrite 1st equation as
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{ar}{r}+ar+(ar)r$
subsituting -1/5 for ar
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{\frac{-1}{5}}{r}+\frac{-1}{5}+(\frac{-1}{5})r$
which simplifies to
$\frac{-7}{10}=\frac{-1}{5r}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-r}{5}$
multiply both sides by 10r
-7r=-2-2r-2r²
add (2r²+2r+2) to both sides
2r²-5r+2=0
solve using quadratic formula
for $ax^2+bx+c=0$
$x=\frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$
so
for 2r²-5r+2=0
a=2
b=-5
c=2

$r=\frac{-(-5) \pm \sqrt{(-5)^2-4(2)(2)}}{2(2)}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{25-16}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm \sqrt{9}}{4}$
$r=\frac{5 \pm 3}{4}$
so
$r=\frac{5+3}{4}=\frac{8}{4}=2$ or $r=\frac{5-3}{4}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}$

use them to solve for the value of a
$\frac{-1}{5}=ar$
$\frac{-1}{5r}=a$
try for r=2 and 1/2
$a=\frac{-1}{10}$ or $a=\frac{-2}{5}$

test each
for a=-1/10 and r=2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-1}{10}+\frac{-2}{10}+\frac{-4}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

for a=-2/5 and r=1/2
a+ar+ar²= $\frac{-2}{5}+\frac{-1}{5}+\frac{-1}{10}=\frac{-7}{10}$
it works

both have the same terms but one is simplified

the 3 numbers are $\frac{-2}{5}$ , $\frac{-1}{5}$ , and $\frac{-1}{10}$
