OlgaM077 [116]3 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2 x + 1/4 x + 1/8 x = 14

4/8 x + 2/8 x + 1/8 x = 14

7/8 x = 14

x = 14 * (8/7) = 16.

in a test consisting of 90 questions, Ama answered 75% of the first 40 questions correctly. If she had to get a score of 80% in
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

total question =90

she obtained 75% of first 40 questions

  1. No. of question she got correct in first 40 = 75% * 40 = 30

2. in order to get 80% out of 90,

the no. of questions got correct by Ama = 80% * 90 = 72

3. As she already got 30 c0rrect in first 40 questions, the number of question she needs correct for remaining 50 = (72-30) = 42

percentage = 42/50*100% = 84%

Pls help<br><br> Given: △ABC, CM⊥ AB, BC = 5, AB = 7<br> CA = 4 sqrt(2)<br> Find: CM
babymother [125]

Answer:

The general plan is to find BM and from that CM. You need 2 equations to do that.

Step One

Set up the two equations.

(7 - BM)^2 + CM^2 = (4*sqrt(2) ) ^ 2 = 32

BM^2 + CM^2 = 5^2 = 25

Step Two

Subtract the two equations.

(7 - BM)^2 + CM^2  = 32

BM^2 + CM^2         = 25

(7 - BM)^2 - BM^2 = 7               (3)

Step three

Expand the left side of the new equation labeled (3)

49 - 14BM + BM^2 - BM^2 = 7    

Step 4

Simplify And Solve

49 - 14BM = 7              Subtract 49 from both sides.

-49 - 14BM = 7 - 49

- 14BM = - 42              Divide by - 14

BM = -42 / - 14

BM = 3

Step  Five

Find CM

CM^2 + BM^2 = 5^2

CM^2 + 3^2 = 5^2        Subtract 3^2 from both sides.

CM^2 = 25 - 9            

CM^2 = 16                     Take the square root of both sides.        

sqrt(CM^2) = sqrt(16)

CM = 4    < Answer

Simplify the expression. -2/3c -9/5 + 14c + 3/10
Andrew [12]

Answer:

13 \frac{1}{3} c - 1 \frac{1}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to combine alike terms so

-2/3c+14c & -9/5+3/10

14c-2/3

\frac{14}{1} c -  \frac{2}{3} c

Multiply 14/1 by 3/3 to get the denominators the same

\frac{42}{3} c -  \frac{2}{3} c

Subtract

\frac{40}{3} c

simplify

13 \frac{1}{3} c

now

\frac{3}{10}  -  \frac{9}{5}

Multiply 9/5 by 2/2

\frac{3}{10}  -  \frac{ 18}{10}

Subtract

- \frac{15}{10}

Simplify

- 1 \frac{1}{2}

put both together

13 \frac{1}{3}c  - 1 \frac{1}{2}

Hope this helps! If you have any questions on how I got my answer feel free to ask. Stay safe!

-1 + 4x=3x +3<br> Solve for x ?
docker41 [41]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Regroup terms.

4x  - 1 = 3x + 3

2. Add 1 to both sides.

4x = 3x + 3 + 1

3. Simplify 3x + 3 + 1 to 3x + 4.

4x = 3x + 4

4. Subtrect 3x from both sides.

4x - 3x = 4

5. Simplify 4x - 3x to x.

x = 4

Therefor, the answer is, x = 4.

What do I do to figure out this problem:<br>3x+8=26+x
Gnom [1K]
<span><u>3x + 8 = 26 + x</u>

The first thing you need to do is understand what you're looking for ...
what a 'solution' means, what it looks like, and how you even know
when you have it.    I'm not sure you're there yet.

The 'answer' or the 'solution' to the problem is a number.  It's the number
that 'x' must be in order for that line at the top to be a true statement.  There's
only one possibility.

To find it, you can do anything you want to either side of the problem, as long as
you do exactly the same thing to the other side too.  With that ability, here's how
to 'figure out the problem', and find the answer:

The original problem:      </span><span><u>3x + 8 = 26 + x</u>

Subtract 8 from each side:

3x = 18 + x

Subtract 'x' from each side:

2x = 18

Divide each side by 2 :

<u>x = 9 </u> .

That's what the answer looks like, and that's what the answer is.

' 9 ' is the ONLY number you can write in place of 'x' in the problem,
and have the problem read true.

I'll show you what I mean.  Let's take the original problem

                   </span><span> <u><span>3x + 8 = 26 + x

</span></u><span>and let's write ' 2 ' wherever we see 'x' :

3 (2) + 8 = 26 + 2

3 (2) means 3 times 2, and that's 6 .
So now we have

6 + 8 = 26 + 2

Do the addition on each side, and we have

14 = 28 .

That's nonsense.  14 is not equal to 28 .  The reason that happened
is because we put the wrong number in place of 'x' .  When we put the
correct number in place of 'x', the left side will be equal to the right side.
To 'figure out the problem' means to find out what that number must be.
For this particular problem, it's 9 .
</span><u><span /></u>
