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

A wireless company offers two cell phone plans. For the month of September, Plan A charges $35 plus $0.25 per minute for calls.

Answer:

60 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of minutes be represented as x

For Plan A

Plan A charges $35 plus $0.25 per minute for calls.

$35 + $0.25 × x

35 + 0.25x

For Plan B

Plan B charges $20 plus $0.50 per minute for calls.

$20 + $0.50 × x

20 + 0.50x

For what number of minutes do both plans cost the same amount?

This is calculated by equating Plan A to Plan B

Plan A = Plan B

35 + 0.25x = 20 + 0.50x

Collect like terms

35 - 20 = 0.50x - 0.25x

15 = 0.25x

x = 15/0.25

x = 60 minutes.

Hence, the number of minutes that both plans cost the same amount is 60 minutes

Write a paragraph comparing the two classes' semester grades. Be sure to compare the extremes, the quartiles, the medians, and t

Gnom [1K]

Answer:

Second class have higher marks and greater spread.

Step-by-step explanation:

First box plot represents class first. From the first box plot, we get

$\text{Minimum value }= 53,Q_1=62,Median=80,Q_3=86,\text{Maximum value }= 89$

$Range=Maximum-Minimum=89-53=36$

$IQR=Q_3-Q-1=86-62=24$

Second box plot represents class second. From the second box plot, we get

$\text{Minimum value }= 56,Q_1=62,Median=74,Q_3=89,\text{Maximum value }= 96$

$Range=Maximum-Minimum=96-56=40$

$IQR=Q_3-Q-1=89-62=27$

First class has greater minimum value, first quartile of both classes are same, second class has greater median, first class has greater third quartile and first class has greater maximum value. It means second class have higher marks but class first have less variation.

Second class has greater range and greater inter quartile range. It means data of second class has greater spread.

Therefore, second class have higher marks and greater spread.
