Mathematics

Answer:

x= 5

x= 8/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one

Given the expression

\frac{4}{3x+1} =\frac{x}{2x+10}

cross multiply we have

4(2x+10)= x(3x+1)

8x+40=3x^2+x

collect like terms

3x^2+x-8x-40=0

3x^2-7x-40=0

applying the quadratic equation

x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^2-4ac}}{2a}

x=\frac{-(-7)\pm\sqrt{(-7)^2-4*3(-40)}}{2*3}\\\\x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{49+480}}{2*3}\\\\x=\frac{7\pm\sqrt{529}}{6}\\\\x=\frac{7\pm 23}{6}\\\\x=\frac{7\+23}{6}\\\\x=\frac{30}{6} \\\\x=5\\\\x=\frac{7-23}{6}\\\\x=\frac{-16}{6} \\\\x=\frac{8}{3}

Solve by elimination x-5y=35 and 3x-6y=51
IrinaVladis [17]

Answer: x=5 y=-6

(5,-6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve by elimination

\begin{bmatrix}x-5y=35\\ 3x-6y=51\end{bmatrix}

multiply x-5y=35 by 3

= 3x-15y=105

\begin{bmatrix}3x-15y=105\\ 3x-6y=51\end{bmatrix}

3x-6y=51

-\underline{3x-15y=105}

9y=-54

divide 9 on both sides

y= -6

Now solve for x

you must plug in -6 for y in either equations

i plugged in -6 for y in 3x-15y=105

3x-15\left(-6\right)=105

3x+15\cdot \:6=105

15\cdot \:6=90

3x+90=105

subtract 90 on both sides

3x=15

\frac{3x}{3}=\frac{15}{3}

x=5

What is the approximate area of the figure?
Valentin [98]

Answer:

Answer D (2206.5 ft^2) is closest to the calculated answer 2206.85 ft^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We can break up this figure into a 30 ft by 50 ft rectangle and a circle of diameter 30 ft.

The area of the rectangular part is A1 = (30 ft)(50 ft) = 1500 ft^2.

The area of the circular part is A2 = π(15 ft)^2 = 706.9 ft^2

Thus, the total area is approx A1 + A2, or 2206.86 ft^2 (Answer D)
