Answer: 20/21 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question given, we are informed that Maleah turned on the water in the kitchen and that for every 1 3/4 minute, 1 2/3 gallons of water went into the sink.

The number of gallons of water that filled the sink per minute will then be calculated as:

= Amount of gallons of water that went into sink / Number of minutes used

= 1 2/3 ÷ 1 3/4

= 5/3 ÷ 7/4

= 5/3 × 4/7

= 20/21

Therefore, 20/21 gallons of water filled the sink per minute

Dado dos ángulos complementarios, uno mide (2x + 10) y el otro (x + 20),
rusak2 [61]

Answer:

El valor de <em>x</em> es igual a 20 o <em>x</em> = 20.

Step-by-step explanation:

Lo primero que se debe saber es que <em>dos ángulos complementarios suman un ángulo recto o 90º</em>.

Supongamos que el valor de un ángulo \\ \alpha y un ángulo \\ \beta valen:

\\ \alpha = 2x + 10 [1]

\\ \beta = x + 20 [2]

Como la suma de  \\ \alpha + \beta = 90 [3]

Entonces

\\ \alpha + \beta = (2x + 10) + (x + 20) = 90

Sumamos los factores comunes entre si:

\\ (2x + x) + (10 + 20) = 90

Para la primera expresión debemos recordar que se suman sólo los coeficientes. Así:

\\ (2 + 1)x + (10 + 20) = 90

\\ 3x + 30 = 90

Para despejar la incógnita <em>x</em>, debemos tener en cuenta que <em>una igualdad no se altera si se suma, se resta, se multiplica o divide un mismo valor a cada lado de ella</em>. Por esta razón, para despejar 3x, lo primero que podemos hacer es sumar -30 a cada lado de la expresión (lo que es igual a restar 30 a cada lado de la misma). Así tenemos:

\\ 3x + 30 - 30 = 90 - 30

\\ 3x + 0 = 90 - 30

\\ 3x = 60

Ahora dividimos cada miembro de la igualdad entre 3 (o multiplicamos cada lado de la igualdad por \\ \frac{1}{3} ):

\\ \frac{3}{3}x = \frac{60}{3}

Como sabemos que:

\\ \frac{3}{3} = 1

Entonces:

\\ 1*x = \frac{60}{3}

\\ x = \frac{60}{3}

\\ x = 20

De esta manera, el valor de <em>x</em> es igual a 20 o x = 20.

Lo anterior lo podemos comprobar considerando las ecuaciones [1], [2] y [3]. Así tenemos que:

\\ \alpha = 2x + 10 [1]

Sustituimos x por el valor de 20:

\\ \alpha = 2*20 + 10 = 40 + 10 = 50

\\ \beta = x + 20 [2]

Hacemos lo mismo para [2]:

\\ \beta = 20 + 20

\\ \beta = 40

De esta manera:

\\ \alpha + \beta = 90 [3]

\\ 50 + 40 = 90

Evaluate 0.1m+8-12n0.1m+8−12n0, point, 1, m, plus, 8, minus, 12, n when m=30m=30m, equals, 30 and n=\dfrac14n= 4 1 ​ n, equals,
Rom4ik [11]

Answer:

8

Step-by-step explanation:

We are required to evaluate:

0.1m+8-12n

When m=30, n=\frac{1}{4}

Substituting these values into the expression, we have:

0.1m+8-12n=0.1(30)+8-12(\frac{1}{4})\\=3+8-\frac{12}{4}\\=3+8-3\\=8

Is (x +1) a factor of <br> f(x) = x3 + 2x2 −5x − 6 ?<br><br> Yes <br> No
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Yes.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can find it out by factoring but ill do it easier way.

(x + 1 ) = 0 put the first and second equation to 0

x = -1

x³ + 2x² - 5x - 6 = 0  Now plug in the x in the equation

(-1)³ + 2(-1)² - 5(-1) - 6 = 0

0 = 0

so (x + 1) is a factor.
