Answer:
4
Step-by-step explanation:
-2x- 4 + 5x = 8
Collect like terms
-2x + 5x = 8 +4( when a variable crosses over equality sign it becomes either negative or positive depending on the sign)
3x = 12
Divide via by coefficient of x
X = 12/3
= 4
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the quadratic function
Evaluating the quadratic function
substitute x = 3
Therefore,
A) To cook 1/2 cup of rice, the package tells you that you also need 1 cup of water. The the total volume of ingredients is
.. 1/2 c + 1 c = 1 1/2 c
b) According to the package the ratio of water to rice is
.. water : rice = 1 : 1/2 = 2 : 1
Then the ratio of water to total ingredients is
.. water : (water + rice) = 2 : (2 +1) = 2 : 3
Susan's ratio is incorrect. Susan is using "1" for the total of ingredients, instead of 2+1 = 3. The correct ratio is 2:3.
Answer:
AB = 9/2 cm
AB = 4.5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of small rectangle
x * (x-4) = x^2 -4x
The area of the big rectangle
The height is 2x +x and the width is x-2
(2x+x) * (x-2)
(3x) * (x-2)
3x^2 -6x
Add the areas together
x^2 -4x + 3x^2 -6x
4x^2 -10x
This is equal to 36
4x^2 -10x=36
Subtract 36 from each side
4x^2 -10x -36=36-36
4x^2 -10x-36=0
Divide each side by 2
2x^2 -5x -18=0
Factor
(x + 2) (2 x - 9) = 0
Using the zero product property
x+2=0 2x-9=0
x = -2 2x =9
x = -2 x = 9/2
Since we cant have a negative length
x = 9/2
AB = 9/2 cm
