Answer:

x = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the algebraic expression and are asked to solve for x.

To solve, we need to isolate x.

2x + 22 = 4(x + 3)

Distribute :

2x + 22 = (4(x) + 4(3))

2x + 22 = 4x + 12

Subtract 12 from both sides :

2x + 10 = 4x

4x = 2x + 10

Subtract 2x from both sides :

2x = 10

Divide 2 from both sides to get x alone :

x = 5

Need help with son's homework I will give 30 points!!! Please show work

Elis [28]

Answer:

A. ⇒ The expression is b + 3

B. ⇒ The expression is 2b - 4

C. ⇒ The Dr's office is closer by 4 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

∵ The distance between Daniel's house and his school is b miles

∵ The swimming pool is 3 miles farther from his school

∴ The distance between Daniel's house and the swimming pool is b + 3

∵ The distance from Daniel's house to his Dr's office is 4 less than twice the distance from home to Daniel's school

∵ The distance between Daniel's house and his school is b

∴ The expression of distance from Daniel's house to his Dr's office is

2b - 4

∵ b = 3

∴ The distance between his house and swimming pool is:

3 + 3 = 6 miles

∴ The distance between his house and Dr's office is:

2(3) - 4 = 2 miles

∴ The Dr's office is closer to Daniel's house than the swimming pool by:

6 - 2 = 4 miles

Which of the following is most likely the next step in the series ?

$\huge \boxed{\mathfrak{Question} \downarrow}$

Which of the following is most likely the next step in the series ?

$\large \boxed{\mathfrak{Answer \: with \: Explanation} \downarrow}$

The next series is most probably going to be option D. 
We can see from the series that, figure 1 has 4 points marked on the circle from which they formed a rectangle.
In the next figure, there are 3 points marked which together when joined forms a triangle.
Then the next circle has 2 points marked on it which makes a straight line.
So, obviously the next figure/circle in the series should have only 1 point marked on it. This won't form anything as you can't join just 1 point with something.

Among all the rectangles whose perimeters are 100 feet, find the dimensions of the one with the maximum area. explain step by st

kompoz [17]

We let x be the length and y be the width of the rectangle. Then,

Perimeter = 2x + 2y
100 = 2x + 2y
50 = x + y
y = 50 - x

Area = xy
A = x(50 - x)
A = 50x - x^2

We then take the derivative; set it equal to zero:

A ' = 50 - 2x
0 = 50 - 2x
2x = 50
x = 25
y = 50 - x
y = 50 - 25
y = 25

Therefore, the dimensions are 25 and 25.
