Let n be a number of balls: n = 14
In one pan you have 8 balls: 8n
In the other pan you have the rest of balls (14 - 8 = 6) along with a <span>weight of 20 grams = 6n + 20
So the pans are balanced:
8n = 6n + 20
Now, just solve the equation:
8n - 6n = 20
2n = 20
n = 20/2
n = 10
So, you know that a ball weights 10 grams.</span>
The given function is
f(x) = 4x - 3/2
where
f(x) = number of assignments completed
x = number of weeks required to complete the assignments
We want to find f⁻¹ (30) as an estimate of the number of weeks required to complete 30 assignments.
The procedure is as follows:
1. Set y = f(x)
y = 4x - 3/2
2. Exchange x and y
x = 4y - 3/2
3. Solve for y
4y = x + 3/2
y = (x +3/2)/4
4. Set y equal to f⁻¹ (x)
f⁻¹ (x) = (x + 3/2)/4
5. Find f⁻¹ (30)
f⁻¹ (30) = (30 + 3/2)/4 = 63/8 = 8 (approxmately)
Answer:
Pedro needs about 8 weeks to complete 30 assignments.
The dimensions are 8 and 7 square inches because 7 times 8 is 56.
5/6 because she already picked a blue tile. it makes the grey tile to be picked.
Hi
9k^2 + 24k + 16
= ( 3k + 4)(3k + 4)
Good luck
