How many lengths of wire, each 3 3/4 inches. long can be cut from a 25-ft roll?

Mathematics

lianna [129]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

80 pieces of wire.

Step-by-step explanation:

It may not come out evenly. If there is a remainder, it won't matter. Just throw it away and go with the integer answer.

Change 3 3/4 to a decimal

3.75

Change the 25 foot roll to inches.

25 feet * 12 inches / foot  = 300 inches.

Now how many pieces of wire do we get.

1 piece of wire/3.75 inches = x pieces of wire / 300 inches

3.75 * x = 300

3.75 * x / 3.75 = 300 / 3.75

x = 80

Solve the simultaneous equations <br> 3 x + 2 y = 18 <br> 3 x + y = 12
natulia [17]

Answer:

x=2 , y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

        3 x + 2 y =    18

        3 x +     y =   12

     (-)       (-)         (-)

-------------------------------------------

                     y =    6

                 

3x+6=12

=>3x=12-6

=>3x=6

=>x=6/3

=>x=2

For f(x) = 3x - 1 and g(x) = x+2, find (f – g)(x).
kobusy [5.1K]
Well, I bet you want your answer right away! So here it is.


<span>Given <span>f (x) = 3x + 2</span> and <span>g(x) = 4 – 5x</span>, find <span>(f + g)(x), (f – g)(x), (f × g)(x)</span>, and <span>(f / g)(x)</span>.</span>

To find the answers, all I have to do is apply the operations (plus, minus, times, and divide) that they tell me to, in the order that they tell me to.

(f + g)(x) = f (x) + g(x)

= [3x + 2] + [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 + 4 – 5x

= 3x – 5x + 2 + 4

= –2x + 6

(f – g)(x) = f (x) – g(x)

= [3x + 2] – [4 – 5x]

= 3x + 2 – 4 + 5x

= 3x + 5x + 2 – 4

= 8x – 2

(f  × g)(x) = [f (x)][g(x)]

= (3x + 2)(4 – 5x)

= 12x + 8 – 15x2 – 10x

= –15x2 + 2x + 8

<span>\left(\small{\dfrac{f}{g}}\right)(x) = \small{\dfrac{f(x)}{g(x)}}<span><span>(<span><span>​g</span>​<span>​f</span><span>​​</span></span>)</span>(x)=<span><span>​<span>g(x)</span></span>​<span>​<span>f(x)</span></span><span>​​</span></span></span></span><span>= \small{\dfrac{3x+2}{4-5x}}<span>=<span><span>​<span>4−5x</span></span>​<span>​<span>3x+2</span></span><span>​​</span></span></span></span>

My answer is the neat listing of each of my results, clearly labelled as to which is which.

( f + g ) (x) = –2x + 6

( f – g ) (x) = 8x – 2

( f  × g ) (x) = –15x2 + 2x + 8

<span>\mathbf{\color{purple}{ \left(\small{\dfrac{\mathit{f}}{\mathit{g}}}\right)(\mathit{x}) = \small{\dfrac{3\mathit{x} + 2}{4 - 5\mathit{x}}} }}<span><span>(<span><span>​g</span>​<span>​f</span><span>​​</span></span>)</span>(x)=<span><span>​<span>4−5x</span></span>​<span>​<span>3x+2</span></span><span>​​


Hope I helped! :) If I did not help that's okay.

A system is inconsistent when there are no solutions between the two equations. Graphically, the lines will be parallel (they never meet!) and the slopes will be the same. But the y-intercepts will be different.

Let's look at the four equations, with each solved as needed, into y = mx + b form.

A: 2x + y = 5

y = 5 - 2x

y = -2x + 5

Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are different, so this system won't be inconsistent. Not a good choice.

B: y = 2x + 5

Compared to y = 2x + 5, the slopes are the same and the y intercepts are the same. This system has infinitely many solutions. Not a good choice.

C: 2x - 4y = 10

-4y = 10 - 2x

-4y = -2x + 10

y = 2/4x -10/4

Here the slopes are different, so, like A this is not a good choice.

D: 2y - 4x = -10

2y = =10 + 4x

2y = 4x - 10

y = 2x - 5

Compared to y = 2x + 5 we have the same slopes and different y intercepts.  The lines will be parallel and the system is inconsistent.


Thus, D is the best choice.
