Answer: Fourth Choice. 1.4

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to understand the idea of evaluation.

When encountering questions that gave you an expression with variables, then stated: "If x = a, y = b, z = c" (a, b, c are all constants), this means you should substitute the value given for each variable back to the expression.

Solve:

Given

(x² - 4) / 3x

x = 5

Substitute the value of x

[(5)² - 4) / 3(5)

Simplify exponents

(25 - 4) / 3(5)

Simplify numerator with subtraction and denominator with multiplication

21 / 15

Simplify by division

7/5 = 1.4

Hope this helps!! :)

Please let me know if you have any questions

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

11.2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a triangle from the information given.

We can call the starting point (0,0) in the coordinate system.

10 mi east - 10 miles to the right. then,
5 mi north - 5 miles above

See the attached picture. The direct distance is labeled as x.

Now we need to find x using pythagorean theorem.

Pythagorean Theorem = leg²+leg²=hypotenuse²

Solving for x:

$10^2+5^2=x^2\\100+25=x^2\\125=x^2\\x=\sqrt{125}\\x=11.18$

Rounding to nearest tenth, we have 11.2 miles

Answer:

The population of a city has decreased by 38% since it was last measured. If the current population is 27,900 .Previous population of city was 45000.

Solution:

Given that current population of city is 27900.

Also, population of a city has decreased by 38% since it was last measured.

Let assume that population of city when it was last measured = x

Decreased of 38% means x-38% of x . we can write this as,

$=x-\frac{38}{100} \times x$

$=\frac{100 x-38 x}{100}$

$=\frac{62 x}{100}=\frac{31 x}{50}$

So current population is $\frac{31 x}{50}$

Equating above expression to the given value of current population, we get

$\frac{31 x}{50}=27900$

$x=\frac{27900 \times 50}{31}$

x=45000

Hence previous population of city was 45000.

Identify all of the following solutions of square root x+14+2=x

True [87]

First add 14+2 so you have sqrt(x) +14=x. Next subtract the 14 to the other side and square both sides, so you have x=x^2+28x+196. Now subtract the x, then use quadratic formula to get the two solutions for the way you have the question typed. However, since I recognize this as being a test question from your FLVS course that is not typed correctly with the parenthesis that will give you the wrong answer. A better idea would be to review through the examples in the lesson, try a few practice problems, then you can easily solve by isolating the square root on one side by itself, then squaring both sides.
