Solve for x 0.5(5-7x)=8-(4x+6)

Mathematics
1 answer:
LekaFEV [45]4 years ago
5 0
0.5(5 - 7x) = 8 - (4x + 6)
2.5 - 3.5x = 8 - 4x - 6
2.5 - 3.5x = 2 - 4x
-3.5x + 4x = 2 - 2.5
0.5x = - 0.5
x = - 0.5/0.5
x = -1 <==

Find equations of the line that is parallel to the z-axis and passes through the midpoint between the two points (0, −4, 9) and
Lorico [155]

Answer: x = -4, y = 0.5, z = 5 +t

Hi!

The line L whose direction is parallel to vector V a passes through point A

is parametrized

P_L = Vt + A

Where t, is a real number, and P_L is a any point on line L.

In this case the direction is that of the z-axis , so V = (0, 0, 1)

A is the midpoint between points B = (0, -4, 9) and C=(-8, 5, 1)

The midpoint is A = (B + C)/2 = (-4, 0.5, 5)

Then the line is:

P_L = (0,0,1) t + (-4, 0.5, 5)

The equations for each coordinate are:

x = -4\\y = 0.5\\z = 5 + t

A jet ski rental charges A flat rate of $75 ,plus an additional $60 per hour you want to spend less than $200. for how many hour
cluponka [151]
The equation to solve would be setting

60×- the m plus 75,the b set to 200 the maximum that's wanted to be used. the equation will look like this

200=60x+75

-75. -75

125=60x
125/60 60x/60

2.08=x

and since you cant round the time the answer will be left at 2

Question 3
BigorU [14]

Answer:

  30 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

time = distance/speed

If x represents Jane's speed along the summit then her total exploration time is ...

  12/x + 40/(x -5) = 2 . . . . . hours

Multiplying by (x)(x -5), we get ...

  12(x -5) +40(x) = 2(x)(x -5)

Dividing by 2 and subtracting the left side gives ...

  x^2 -31x +30 = 0

  (x -30)(x -1) = 0 . . . . . factor

Solutions are x = 30 and x = 1, values of x that make the factors zero. A speed of 1 mph makes no sense in this problem, so ...

Jane's speed along the summit was 30 mph.
