| 3 x - 2 | = 4x + 4
Ugo [173]

Answer: -2/7

|3x - 2| - 4x = 4

1) (3х - 2) - 4х = 4, if 3x - 2 >= 0

2) -(3x - 2) - 4x = 4, if 3x - 2 < 0

1)

3х - 4х = 4 + 2

-x = 6

x = -6

3х - 2 >= 0

3х >= 2

x >= 2/3 - wrong

2)

-3х + 2 - 4х = 4

-7х = 2

x = -2/7

3x-2<0

3x<2

3(-2/7)<2-right

A cardboard box without a lid is to have a volume of 8,788 cm3. Find the dimensions that minimize the amount of cardboard used.
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

  x = y = 26 cm; z = 13 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The generic solution for the minimum material in an open-top box is that the box is square and half as high as it is wide. It is half a cube of twice the volume.

The dimensions of the square base are ...

  ∛(2·8788 cm³) = 26 cm

Then the height is half that, or 13 cm.

  x = y = 26 cm; z = 13 cm

_____

If you need to see the development, you can use the method of Lagrange multipliers to find the minimum area for the given volume;

  area = xy +2(xz +yz)

  volume = xyz = 8788

We require each of the partial derivatives of L with respect to x, y, z, and λ to be zero.

  L = xy +2(xz +yz) +λ(xyz -8788)

  partial with respect to x: 0 = y+2z +λyz

  partial with respect to y: 0 = x +2z +λxz

  partial with respect to z: 0 = 2x+2y +λxy

  partial with respect to λ: 0 = xyz -8788

From the first two equations, we have ...

  λ = (y +2z)/(yz) = 1/z +2/y

  λ = (x +2z)/(xz) = 1/z +2/x

Equating these expressions for λ, we find ...

  1/z +2/y = 1/z +2/x   ⇒   x = y

The third equation then tells us ...

  λ = (2x +2y)/(xy) = 2/y +2/x

Comparing this to either of the first two expressions for λ, we see ...

  1/z +2y = 2/x +2/y   ⇒   z = x/2

This is the result we started the answer with:

  x = y = 2z = ∛(2·8788 cm³)

Alex makes $61,992 per year and pays about 25% of his gross monthly income in federal and state taxes. He wants to find an apart
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Rent each month = $1421

Amount left after rent and taxes monthly = $2453

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross salary; $61,992 per year

His gross pay per month will be;

61992/12 = $5166

Now, the standard recommended rule in budgeting for house rent is to use between 25% to 30% of your monthly pay for rent.

Now, let's adopt an average of 27.5%

Thus;

Amount he can afford for rent each month = 27.5% × 5166 = $1420.65 ≈ $1421

We are told he pays 25% of his gross monthly income in federal and state taxes.

Thus, amount spent on taxes each month = 25% × 5166 = $1291.5 ≈ $1292

Thus, amount he will gave left after rent and taxes = 5166 - (1421 + 1292) = $2453

To make concrete, the ratio of cement to sand is 1 : 3. If cement and sand are sold in bags of equal mass, how many bags of ceme
kotykmax [81]

Answer:

5 bags of cement are required.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since to make concrete, the ratio of cement to sand is 1: 3, if cement and sand are sold in bags of equal mass, to determine how many bags of cement are required to make concrete using 15 bags of sand the following calculation must be done:

Cement = 1

Sand = 3

3 = 15

1 = X

15/3 = X

5 = X

Therefore, 5 bags of cement are required.
