D.18 is the answer for that
Olegator [25]3 years ago

Answer:

D, 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. We need to separate any value from x, so we must remove (-2/3) from the left side of the equation and place it on the right by dividing by (-2/3).

-2/3(x) = -12

2. We recognize that the negatives cancel each other out, so it cannot be A or B. Also, remember that dividing by a fraction or decimal will always increase the value of your answer. Therefore, the answer must be 18.

x = -12 times -3/2

x = 36/2

x = 18

If a triangle with angle measures 40,30.and 120 centimeters possible?
vagabundo [1.1K]
No, the longest side must be less than the sum of the smaller sides or else they won't connect (try it yourself with straw or something)

40+30>120
70>120
false, therfor they canonot be a triangle

The product of two numbers is 192. what is the minimum value of the sum of the first value plus twice the second value
VARVARA [1.3K]
Let x and y be the two positive numbers. -  Their product is 192: x *  y  =  192   equation 1

-  the sum of the first plus twice the second is a minimum:  x + 2y

<span>From the first equation, y =  192 / x. 
Substitute that into the second equation:
</span>
 x + 2y = x + 2(<span>192/x ) = x + 384/x

</span>f(x) is minimum when f'(x) = 0 and f"(x) > 0 

f(x)= <span>x + 384/x
</span>
f(x) = 1-384/x^2 

<span>1-384  / x^2 =  0 

x^2-384 = 0 

x^ 2= 354
 x = radical  354    = 18.8  here i'm confused why the number is decimal

20 POINTS!!!!
nevsk [136]

Answer:

Step 1: Remove parentheses by multiplying factors.

= (x * x) + (1 * x) + (2 * x) + (2 * 1)

Step 2: Combine like terms by adding coefficients.

(x * x) = x2

(1 * x) = 1x

(2* x) = 2x

Step 3: Combine the constants.

(2 * 1) = 2

Step 4: Therefore, Simplifying Algebraic Expression is solved as

= x2 + 3x + 2.

Recall, we have five connectives in propositional logic ¬, ∧, ∨, →, ↔ (negation, conjunction, disjunction, conditional and bicon
Free_Kalibri [48]

Answer:

(a) ¬(p→¬q)

(b) ¬p→q

(c) ¬((p→q)→¬(q→p))

Step-by-step explanation

taking into account the truth table for the conditional connective:

<u>p | q | p→q </u>

T | T |   T    

T | F |   F    

F | T |   T    

F | F |   T    

(a) and (b) can be seen from truth tables:

for (a) <u>p∧q</u>:

<u>p | q | ¬q | p→¬q | ¬(p→¬q) | p∧q</u>

T | T |  F  |   F     |    T       |  T

T | F |  T  |  T      |    F       |  F

F | T |  F  |  T      |    F       |  F

F | F |  T  |  T      |    F       |  F

As they have the same truth table, they are equivalent.

In a similar manner, for (b) p∨q:

<u>p | q | ¬p | ¬p→q | p∨q</u>

T | T |  F  |   T     |    T    

T | F |  F  |   T     |    T    

F | T |  T  |   T     |    T    

F | F |  T  |   F     |    F    

again, the truth tables are the same.

For (c)p↔q, we have to remember that p ↔ q can be written as (p→q)∧(q→p). By replacing p with (p→q) and q with (q→p) in the answer for part (a) we can change the ∧ connector to an equivalent using ¬ and →. Doing this we get ¬((p→q)→¬(q→p))
