Lesechka [4]3 years ago

Answer:

m=40

Problem:

If 7x^2 - mx-12 is equal to (7x + n)(x-6), where m and n are constants, find the value of m.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find n amd m such that

(7x+n)(x-6)=7x^2-mx-12.

Since (ax+b)(cx+d)=acx^2+(ad+bc)x+bd, then we need or should have the following:

(7x)(x)=7x^2

(7×-6+n×1)x=-mx

(n)(-6)=-12

The bottom equation tells us n=2 since 2(-6)=-12.

The first equation is already true.

Now we must solve (7×-6+n×1)x=-mx with n=2 for m.

That is we need to solve 7×-6+2×1=-m

Simplify and done -m=-42+2=-40 so m=40.

Let's do a check

7x^2 - mx-12 is equal to (7x + n)(x-6)

7x^2-40x-12 is equal to (7x+2)(x-6)

(7x+2)(x-6)=7x(x)+7x(-6)+2(x)+2(-6)

(7x+2)(x-6)=7x^2-42x+2x-12

(7x+2)(x-6)=7x^2-40x-12 and that is what we wanted.

Another way:

We want (7x+n)(x-6)=7x^2-mx-12 to be true for all x.

So if x=0 or for x=1, we want the equation to be true.

Insert x=0. This gives (n)(-6)=-12 which implies n=2.

(7x+2)(x-6)=7x^2-mx-12

Insert x=1. This gives (7+2)(1-6)=7-m-12.

Simplify both sides: 9(-5)=-m-5

Continue to simplify left side: -45=-m-5

Add 5 on both sides: -40=-m

Multiply both sides by -1: 40=m

Use addition to solve the linear system of equations. Include all of your work in your final answer. \(\left\{ \right.\) 3x-y=6
ad-work [718]

Answer:

Solving the given linear system, we get x = 1 and y = -3.

The solution set is: (1,-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the linear system of equations.

3x-y=6 \\y=x-4

We can write second equation y=x-4  as: -x+y=-4

Let:

3x-y=6--eq(1)\\ -x+y=-4--eq(2)

Now, Adding equation 1 and 2

3x-y=6\\ -x+y=-4\\--------\\2x+0y=2\\2x=2\\x=\frac{2}{2}\\x=1

So, we get x = 1

Now, put value of x in second equation to find value of y:

y=x-4\\Put\:x=1\\y=1-4\\y=-3

So, we get y = -3

Solving the given linear system, we get x = 1 and y = -3.

The solution set is: (1,-3)

A person bought some cosmetics from wholesale market at the rate of Rs 360 per dozen he sells it at Rs 80 a pair find the gain p
marusya05 [52]

Answer:

33.33%

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to calculate the <u>unit selling price and cost of each cosmetics.</u>

If a person bought some cosmetics from wholesale market at the rate of Rs 360 per dozen., then for 1 cosmetics, we will say;

x = 1 cosmetic

since 360 = 12 cosmetic

cross multiply

12x = 360

x = 360/12

x = 30

Hence the unit cost price of the cosmetics will be Rs. 30

Similarly, if he sells it at Rs 80 a pair, then he sold one cosmetic at 80/2 = Rs. 40 (a pair is 2 cosmetics)

Selling price per unit = Rs. 40

Cost price per unit = Rs. 30

percent gain = SP-CP/CP * 100%

percent gain = 40-30/30 * 100

percent gain = 10/30 * 100

percent gain = 100/3

percent gain = 33.33%

Hence the percentage gain is 33.33%
