How many solutions does the equation have? 2x + 3 = 4x + 2

2 answers:

8 0

Well, solve for x.

Combine like terms by performing the opposite operation of subtracting 4x on both sides of the equation

The 4x's will cross out on the right

4x - 4x = 0x = 0

On the left:

2x - 4x = -2x

Now the equation looks like:

-2x + 3 = 2

Continue to combine like terms by subtracting 3 on both sides of the equation

On the left:

3 - 3 = 0

On the right:

2 - 3 = -1

Equation:

-2x = -1

Isolate x by performing the opposite operation of dividing -2 on both sides of the equation

On the left:

-2x ÷ -2 = 1

On the right:

-1 ÷ -2 = 1/2

x= 1/2

So, there is only one solution: 1/2

It is linear equation so it has only one solution.
so number of solution depends upon max degree of variable

Suppose Bank One offers a certificate of deposit that pays $5,000 in four years for exchange for $4,000 today. What interest rat

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Bank One is offering a simple interest rate of 6.25% per annum.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Bank One offers a certificate of deposit that pays $ 5,000 in four years for exchange for $ 4,000 today, to determine what interest rate is Bank One offering the following calculation must be performed:

(5000 - 4000) / 4 = X

1000/4 = X

250 = X

4000 = 100

250 = X

250 x 100/4000 = X

25000/4000 = X

6.25 = X

Therefore, Bank One is offering a simple interest rate of 6.25% per annum.

I added a screenshot of the complete question along with the given choices.

Answers:

w = 10 ft and l = 50 ft ................> second option

w = 20 ft and l = 60 ft ...............> third option

w = 50 ft and l = 40 ft ...............> fifth option

Explanation:

We are given that:

length should be at least 20 ...........> length ≥ 20

equation for perimeter is : 2l + 2w ≤ 200

We will check each option as follows:

Option 1:

w = 50 ft and l = 10 ft

This option is incorrect as the proposed length is less than 20.

Option 2:

w = 10 ft and l = 50 ft

Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.

Now, we check the second condition:

2l + 2w = 2(50) + 2(10) = 100 + 20 = 120 ≤ 200

The second condition is also satisfied.

This option is correct

Option 3:

w = 20 ft and l = 60 ft

Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.

Now, we check the second condition:

2l + 2w = 2(60) + 2(20) = 120 + 40 = 160 ≤ 200

The second condition is also satisfied.

This option is correct

Option 4:

w = 90 ft and l = 30 ft

Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.

Now, we check the second condition:

2l + 2w = 2(30) + 2(90) = 60 + 180 = 240 > 200

The second condition is not satisfied.

This option is incorrect

Option 5:

w = 50 ft and l = 40 ft

Since the length is greater than 20, the first condition is satisfied.

Now, we check the second condition:

2l + 2w = 2(50) + 2(40) = 100 + 80 = 180 ≤ 200

The second condition is also satisfied.

This option is correct

Hope this helps :)
