What is the solution to (5d+8)=3(8-d)

Mathematics

nekit [7.7K]3 years ago

8 0

Answer:

d=2

Step-by-step explanation:

We can simplify both sides, by removing both parentheses, and using the distributive property on the other side.

5d+8=24-3d

Next, we add 3d to both sides, like so:

8d+8=24

Then we can subtract 8 from both sides, then simplify for d.

8d=16

d=2

Need help finding the value of x and y

kap26 [50]

Answer:

The values of x = 12 and y = 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given figure ,

ΔMTW≅ΔBGK

That is, these two triangles are congruent.

If two triangles are congruent , all the corresponding angles and corresponding sides are equal.

Congruency is different from similarity . Similarity means two triangles which are the same with different dimensions.

Therefore , ∠MTW = ∠BGK

(4x - 3)° = 45°

4x = 48°

x = 12

Since ∠MTW = 45° ,

∠TMW = 180 - (41 +45)

= 180 - 86

=94°

From congruency ,

∠TMW = ∠GBK

94° = 11y + 6

11y = 88°

y = 8

Kyle works at a donut factory, where a 10-oz cup of coffee costs 95¢, a 14-oz cup costs $1.15, and a 20-oz cup costs $1.5

Fynjy0 [20]

Answer:

Kyle filled 4 10-oz cups, 6 14-oz cups, and 4 20-oz cups.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 10-oz, 14-oz, and 20-oz coffees be represented by the variables a, b, and c, respectively.

Since a total of 14 cups of coffee was served:

$a+b+c=14$

A total of 204 ounces of coffee was served. Therefore:

$10a+14b+20c=204$

A total of $16.70 was collected. Hence:

$0.95a+1.15b+1.5c=16.7$

This yields a triple system of equations. In order to solve a triple system, we should isolate the system to only two variables first.

From the first equation, let's subtract a and b from both sides:

$c=14-a-b$

Substitute this into both the second and third equations:

$10a+14b+20(14-a-b)=204$

And:

$0.95a+1.15b+1.5(14-a-b)=16.7$

In this way, we've successfully created a system of two equations, which can be more easily solved. Distribute:

For the Second Equation:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 10a+14b+280-20a-20b&=204\\ -10a-6b&=-76\\5a+3b&=38\end{aligned}$

And for the Third:

$\displaystyle \begin{aligned} 0.95a+1.15b+21-1.5a-1.5b&=16.7\\ -0.55a-0.35b&=-4.3\end{aligned}$

We can solve this using substitution. From the second equation, isolate a:

$\displaystyle a=\frac{1}{5}(38-3b)=7.6-0.6b$

Substitute into the third:

$-0.55(7.6-0.6b)-0.35b=-4.3$

Distribute and simplify:

$-4.18+0.33b-0.35b=-4.3$

Therefore:

$-0.02b=-0.12\Rightarrow b=6$

Using the equation for a:

$a=7.6-0.6(6)=4$

And using the equation for c:

$c=14-(4)-(6)=14-10=4$

Therefore, Kyle filled 4 10-oz cups, 6 14-oz cups, and 4 20-oz cups.

The difference between the two roots of the equation 3x^2+10x+c=0 is 4 2/3 . Find the solutions for the equation.

andrezito [222]

Answer:

Given the equation: $3x^2+10x+c =0$

A quadratic equation is in the form: $ax^2+bx+c = 0$ where a, b ,c are the coefficient and a≠0 then the solution is given by :

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-b\pm \sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}$ ......[1]

On comparing with given equation we get;

a =3 , b = 10

then, substitute these in equation [1] to solve for c;

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{10^2-4\cdot 3 \cdot c}}{2 \cdot 3}$

Simplify:

$x_{1,2} = \frac{-10\pm \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$

Also, it is given that the difference of two roots of the given equation is $4\frac{2}{3} = \frac{14}{3}$

i.e,

$x_1 -x_2 = \frac{14}{3}$

Here,

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$ , ......[2]

$x_2= \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}$ .....[3]

then;

$\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6} - (\frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12c}}{6}) = \frac{14}{3}$

simplify:

$\frac{2 \sqrt{100- 12c} }{6} = \frac{14}{3}$

$\sqrt{100- 12c} = 14$

Squaring both sides we get;

$100-12c = 196$

Subtract 100 from both sides, we get

$100-12c -100= 196-100$

Simplify:

-12c = -96

Divide both sides by -12 we get;

c = 8

Substitute the value of c in equation [2] and [3]; to solve $x_1 , x_2$

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}$

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{100- 96}}{6}$ or

$x_1 = \frac{-10 + \sqrt{4}}{6}$

Simplify:

$x_1 = \frac{-4}{3}$

Now, to solve for $x_2$ ;

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 12\cdot 8}}{6}$

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{100- 96}}{6}$ or

$x_2 = \frac{-10 - \sqrt{4}}{6}$

Simplify:

$x_2 = -2$

therefore, the solution for the given equation is: $-\frac{4}{3}$ and -2.
