Answer:

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

5 + 3x - 37 = 6x + 23 - 8x

3x - 6x + 8x = 37 - 5 + 23

11x - 6x = 60 - 5

5x = 55

x = 55/5

x = 11

Thus, the value for x is 11

Please help with this question

alekssr [168]

Step-by-step explanation:

so, that means we want to find the time t (days) after which N = No/2

because "half-life" means the amount of time until half of the substance has disappeared (or transformed into something else).

so, we have

No/2 = No × e^(-0.1481×t)

No = 2× No × e^(-0.1481×t)

1 = 2×e^(‐0.1481×t)

1/2 = 0.5 = e^(-0.1481×t)

ln(0.5) = -0.1481×t

t = ln(0.5)/-0.1481 = 4.680264555... ≈ 4.7 days

Find the distance between each pair of points. Round your answer to the nearest tenth, if necessary. Hint: Use the Pythagorean T

Paul [167]

The distance between two points on the plane is given by the formula below

$\begin{gathered} A=(x_1,y_1),B=(x_2,y_2) \\ \Rightarrow d(A,B)=\sqrt[]{(x_1-x_2)^2+(y_1-y_2)^2} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, in our case,

$A=(-1,-3),B=(5,2)$

Thus,

$\begin{gathered} \Rightarrow d(A,B)=\sqrt[]{(-1-5)^2+(-3-2)^2}=\sqrt[]{6^2+5^2}=\sqrt[]{36+25}=\sqrt[]{61} \\ \Rightarrow d(A,B)=\sqrt[]{61} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the answer is sqrt(61)

In general,

$-(-n)=n$

Remember that

$-n=(-1)\cdot n$

Therefore,

$\begin{gathered} a-(-n)=a+(-1)(-n)=a+(-1)(-1\cdot n)=a+(-1)^2\cdot n=a+1\cdot n=a+n \\ \Rightarrow a-(-n)=a+n \end{gathered}$

Solve for b −3b+2.5=4 Two step equations with fractions and decimals

DIA [1.3K]

−3b+2.5=4

Subtract 2.5 from both sides.

−3b+2.5−2.5=4−2.5

−3b=1.5

Divide both sides by -3.

−3b/−3 = 1.5/−3

b=−0.5

For a certain commodity the supply equation is given by S = 2p + 5 At a price of $1, there is a demand for 19 units of the commo

slava [35]

Answer:

The demand equation is: D=-4p+23

Step-by-step explanation:

To get started, we should keep in mind that the market price (p=3) occurs when supply equals demand ,therefore when p=3

S=2(3)+5=11

Thus, when p=3 D=11 and, according to the problem when p=1 D=19.

We already know two points on the demand curve. Great!

The demand equation is linear, so it has form D=bp+c.

The variable b is the slope of the demand linear equation . It can be computed through the formula

$b=\frac{y2-y1}{x2-x1}$ . equation 1

Substituting the two points (3,11) and (1,19) on equation 1.

$b=\frac{19-11}{1-3} =\frac{8}{-2}$

b=-4

Now we can find the value of intercept of the demand equation c trough point-slope form y-y1=b(x-x1).

We can use any of the points. Let's take (3,11) and write in point-slope :

y-11=-4(x-3)

y=-4x+11+12

y=-4x+23

Rewrite the linear equation according our variables D and p

D=-4P+23

Finally we found the demand equation !
