2(5x - 3) - 4 = x + 4 solve for x and show work

2 answers:

6 0

1. distribute --> 10x-6-4=x+4
2. do -6-4 --> 10x-10=x+4
3. add 10 on both sides --> 10x=x+4+10
4. subtract x on both sides and simplify equation --> 9x=14
5. divide both sides by 9 --> x=14/9

Answer:

x= 14/9 = 1 5/9

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the distributive property to multiply 2 by 5x−3.

2(5x−3)−4=x+4

Subtract 4 from −6 to get −10.

10x−6−4=x+4

Subtract x from both sides

10x−10=x+4

Combine 10x and −x to get 9x.

10x−10−x=4

Add 10 to both sides.

9x−10=4

Divide both sides by 9.

x= 14/9

This is the pond in a shape of a prism, it is completely full of water. Colin uses a pump to empty the pond. The level goes down

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

150 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

P.S - The exact question is -

Given - This is the pond in a shape of a prism, it is completely full of

water. Colin uses a pump to empty the pond. The level goes

down by 20 cm in the first 30 min.

To find - Work put how many minutes Colin has to wait for the pond

to completely empty.

Proof -

Given that,

Height of prism = 1 m

Also,

Base of the prism is trapezium and

Sides of the trapezium are 0.6 m and 1.4 m

Height of trapezium is 2 m

We know that,

Area of trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}$ × (sum of sides)× height

= $\frac{1}{2}$ × (0.6 + 1.4)× 2

= $\frac{1}{2}$ × (2)× 2

= 2 m²

⇒Area of trapezium = 2 m²

Now,

Volume of prism = Area of trapezium × height of prism

= 2 m² × 1 m

= 2 m³

⇒Volume of prism = 2 m³

Now,

Given that the level goes down by 20 cm in the first 30 min

We know

100 cm = 1 m

⇒1 cm = $\frac{1}{100} m$ = 0.01 m

⇒20 cm = 20×0.01 m = 0.2 m

⇒The level goes down by 0.2 m in the first 30 min.

Also,

we know that height of water = height of prism = 1 m

So, the remaining water left in the pond = 1 m - 0.2 m = 0.8 m

Also,

Volume of Remaining water = Area of trapezium × height

= 2 m² × 0.8 m

= 1.6 m³

⇒Volume of Remaining water = 1.6 m³

Now,

Volume of emptied water = Total Volume - Volume of Remaining water

= 2 m³ - 1.6 m³

= 0.4 m³

⇒Volume of emptied water = 0.4 m³

Now,

0.4 m³ water will be empty in 30 minutes

⇒ 1 m³ water will be empty in $\frac{30}{0.4}$ = 75 minutes

⇒1.6 m³ water will be empty in 1.6 × 75 = 120 minutes

∴ we get

The remaining water is empty in 120 minutes

So,

Total pond is empty in 120 + 30 minutes

⇒Total pond is empty in 150 minutes

If you deposit $25,000 now at 6.5% compounded quarterly, how much will you have in 30 years?

Mice21 [21]

Answer:

$172,984.44

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the formula

$A = P(1 + \frac{r}{n})^{nt}$ to compute the final amount

Here P is the principal amount, the original deposit = $25,000

r is the annual interest rate = 6.5% = 0.065 in decimal

n is the number of times the compounding takes place. Here it is quarterly so it is 4 times a year

t is the number of time periods ie 30 years

A is the accrued amount ie principal + interest

Computing different components,

$nt = 4 \times 30 = 120$

$r/n = 0.065/4 = .01625$

$1 + r/n = 1.01625$

$(1 + r/n)^{nt} = 1.01625^{120}$

Therefore

$A = 25000 \times 1.0625^{120} = 172,984.44$

Is 1.7x^2 + 3.5 a cubic polynomial?

devlian [24]

Answer:

No, it is not.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is because if you look at the expression, there is no term that is raised to the cube root. As a result, this isn't a cubic polynomial. However, this would be a quadratic polynomial cause the highest raised exponent is 2, which is the number for quadratic.
