Answer:

no solutions

Step-by-step explanation:

8 + 10 - 6k = 6(4 - k)

Distribute

8 + 10 - 6k = 24 -6k

Combine like terms

18 -6k = 24 -6k

Add 6k  to each side

18 - 6k +6k = 24 - 6k+6k

18 = 24

This is never true so there are no solutions

Hey there! I'm happy to help you out!

To solve for k, we have to isolate it on one side of the equation and put all the constants on the other side.

The first thing we need to do is get the k on the right side out of parentheses. To do this, we will use the distributive property!

8+10-6k=24-6k

Now, we will combine like terms.

18-6k=24-6k

We want to get all the ks on the left side and all the constants on the right. Let's add six k to both sides to cancel out the -6k on the right.

18=24

As you can see, our variables canceled out. This is because our equation was saying 18 minus six of something was equal to 24 minus six of something, which makes no sense because that doesn't work!

We are left with 18=24, which isn't even a true equation! Therefore, there is no solution to this equation.

I hope that this helps! Have a wonderful day!

Car A travels at 35 miles per hour and Car B travels at a greater speed of x miles per hour. Choose the expression that represen
Rina8888 [55]

Answer:

-2x+25 D

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how far it will go in an unspecified number of hours, we can let t = time in hours. The letter t will be our variable. Assuming that the car travels at the same speed, we can state that the rate is 55, and that will be our constant. The expression would then be:

Distance of car traveled in t hours, which we can denote as D(t) = 55 x t = 55t

This means that D is a function of t, and D represents the total distance traveled in t hours.

The following function represents the value of a house, in dollars, after x years: f(x) = 242,000(1.04)x What does 1.04 represen
zmey [24]
The number 1.04 represents the rate at which the house appreciates, or increases in its price annually.

As according to the values of an exponential equation, which is represented by this: y=ab^x, the a value represents the original price, the b value represents the rate of growth/decay (if growth, you add 1 to the rate, if decay, you subtract the rate from 1), and x represents the amount of times it decays or grows.

As according to the function <span> f(x) = 242,000(1.04)^x, 242,000 is the original price and 1.04 is the rate of growth since 1 has been added to the the 4% annual growth.</span>

FInd three consecutive even integers such that three times the smallest is four more than twice the largest
Oksanka [162]

n, n + 2, n + 4 - three consecutive even integers

3n = 2(n + 4) + 4     |use distributive property

3n = (2)(n) + (2)(4) + 4

3n = 2n + 8 + 4

3n = 2n + 12    |subtract 2n from both sides

n = 12

n + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

n + 4 = 12 + 4 = 16

Answer: 12, 14, 16.

Eights rooks are placed randomly on a chess board. What is the probability that none of the rooks can capture any of the other r
lbvjy [14]

Answer:

4.51\times10^{-10}

Step-by-step explanation:

There are only 2 solutions for none of the rooks can capture any of the other rooks: only if they are laid out in either of the 2 diagonal of the chess board

The number of possible combination for the rock to laid out in 8x8 (64 slots) chess board

\frac{64 * 63 * 62 * 61 * 60 * 59 * 58 * 57}{8!} = \frac{1.78\times10^{14}}{40320} = 4426165368 possible combination

So the probability is pretty thin

P = 2 / 4426165368 = 4.51\times10^{-10}
