Answer:

b = - 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

- $\frac{5}{6}$ (8 + 5b) = 75 + $\frac{5}{3}$ b

Multiply through by 6 ( the LCM of 6 and 3 ) to clear the fractions

- 5(8 + 5b) = 450 + 10b ← distribute left side

- 40 - 25b = 450 + 10b ( subtract 10b from both sides )

- 40 - 35b = 450 ( add 40 to both sides )

- 35b = 490 ( divide both sides by - 35 )

b = - 14

A certain ball is dropped from a height of x feet. It always bounces up to 2/3 x feet. Suppose the ball is dropped from 10 feet

galina1969 [7]

Given that if a ball is dropped from x feet, it bounces up to 2/3 x feet.

And the ball is dropped from 10 feet, that is x=10 feet,

So,before the first bounce it travels 10 feet distance.

Between first and second bounce it travels $\frac{2}{3}* 10 + \frac{2}{3} * 10 = 20*(\frac{2}{3})$

Between second and third bounce, it travels $20*(\frac{2}{3})^{2}$

Between third and fourth bounce, it travels $20*(\frac{2}{3}) ^{3}$

Like that between 29th and 30th bounce, it travels $20*(\frac{2}{3} )^{29}$

Hence total distance traveled is

$10+20*(\frac{2}{3} )+20*(\frac{2}{3})^{2} + 20*(\frac{2}{3}) ^{3}+......+20*(\frac{2}{3})^{29}$

= $10+20[(\frac{2}{3}) +(\frac{2}{3}) ^{2} +(\frac{2}{3}) ^{3} +.....+(\frac{2}{3} )^{29} ]$

= $10+20[\frac{\frac{2}{3}*(1-(\frac{2}{3})^{29}) }{1-\frac{2}{3} }]$

= 10+20*2*(1- $(\frac{2}{3}) ^{29}$ )

= 49.9997 feet ≈ 50 feet approximately.

Amy uses two thirds of a yard fabric for each pillow she makes how many yards of fabric will she need in order to make 8 pillows

Aneli [31]

2/3 yard= 1 pillow

To find the total yards needed for 8 pillows, multiply 2/3 yard per pillow by 8 pillows.

= 2/3 * 8
multiply numerators; multiply denominators

= (2*8)/(3*1)

= 16/3
convert to a mixed number

= 5 1/3 yards needed

ANSWER: 5 1/3 yards is needed to make 8 pillows.

Hope this helps! :)

A round trip flight from Seattle, Washington to Orlando, Florida is one of the longest flights in the continental United States.

ch4aika [34]

Time out = d/so = d/523
time back = d/sb = d/415

t = time out + time back
11 = d/523 + d/415 find common deneminator
11 = (415d + 523d)/(523*415)
11*523*415 = 415d + 523d
2387495 = 938d
d = 2545 miles

hope this help
