Answer: Part A - C, Part B - 12 pieces
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>Part A:</u>
We know that 1/4 of Meredith's sub is bigger than 1/4 of Jim's sub, so we can set up an inequality.
Let Meredith's sub size = m; Jim's = j
Therefore, 1/4*m > 1/4*j
We can multiply both sides by 4:
m > j
Thus, the correct answer is C
<u>Part B:</u>
Since he had 1/4 of it left, that means he at 1 - 1/4 of it = 3/4 of his sub.
We can calculate the value of 3/4 * 16 = 12 pieces
Answer:
(10,10)
Step-by-step explanation:
coordinates are (x,y)
x is horizontal(left and right), y is vertical (up and down)
going down 6 means subtracting 6 from the second number
lets reverse that to go up and add 6 back
4+6=10
so the original point was (10,10)
Answer:
-4
Step-by-step explanation:
1-5=-4 (7.1+1)-5=3.1
The equation 5/2 - x + x - 5/x + 2 + 3x + 8/x^2 - 4 = 0 is a quadratic equation
The value of x is 8 or 1
<h3>How to determine the value of x?</h3>
The equation is given as:
5/2 - x + x - 5/x + 2 + 3x + 8/x^2 - 4 = 0
Rewrite as:
-5/x - 2 + x - 5/x + 2 + 3x + 8/x^2 - 4 = 0
Take the LCM
[-5(x + 2) + (x -5)(x- 2)]\[x^2 - 4 + [3x + 8]/[x^2 - 4] = 0
Expand
[-5x - 10 + x^2 - 7x + 10]/[x^2 - 4] + [3x + 8]/[x^2 - 4] = 0
Evaluate the like terms
[x^2 - 12x]/[x^2 - 4] + [3x + 8]/[x^2 - 4 = 0
Multiply through by x^2 - 4
x^2 - 12x+ 3x + 8 = 0
Evaluate the like terms
x^2 -9x + 8 = 0
Expand
x^2 -x - 8x + 8 = 0
Factorize
x(x -1) - 8(x - 1) = 0
Factor out x - 1
(x -8)(x - 1) = 0
Solve for x
x = 8 or x = 1
Hence, the value of x is 8 or 1
