Calculate the correct answer. 17x - 3 = 48​

Mathematics
1 answer:
Nadya [2.5K]2 years ago
6 0

Answer: x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

17x + -3 = 48

Reorder the terms:

-3 + 17x = 48

Solving

-3 + 17x = 48

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '3' to each side of the equation.

-3 + 3 + 17x = 48 + 3

Combine like terms: -3 + 3 = 0

0 + 17x = 48 + 3

17x = 48 + 3

Combine like terms: 48 + 3 = 51

17x = 51

Divide each side by '17'.

x = 3

Simplifying

x = 3

Suppose a car has a rating of 4.8 gallons per 100 miles. What is the miles-per-gallon rating of this car? 
bezimeni [28]

Answer:

The miles-per-gallon rating of this car is 20.83.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved by a rule of three.

What is the miles-per-gallon rating of this car?

How many miles for 1 gallon?

4.8 gallons are used for 100 miles. So

4.8 gallons - 100 miles

1 gallon - x miles

4.8x = 100

x = \frac{100}{4.8}

x = 20.83

The miles-per-gallon rating of this car is 20.83.

The perimeter of a parallelogram is 180 cm. One side exceeds the other by 10 cm. What are the lengths of adjacent sides of the p
Georgia [21]

Answer:

one side is 40 other is 50

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter=180cm

let one side=length=x

Acc. to condition:

other side=width=x+10 (one side exceed other by 10)

perimeter= 2(length+width)

subtitue all values given above:

180=2(x+x+10)

180=2(2x+10)

2x+10=180/2

2x+10=90

2x=90-10

2x=80

x=40

now

lenght=x=40cm

width=x+10=40+10

width=50cm

To the nearest tenth, what is the perimeter of the triangle with vertices at (−2, 3), (3, 6), and (2, −2)?
katovenus [111]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  20.3

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance formula can be used to find the side lengths.

  d = √((x2 -x1)^2 +(y2 -y1)^2)

For the first two points, ...

  d = √((3 -(-2))^2 +(6 -3)^2) = √(5^2 +3^2) = √34 ≈ 5.83

For the next two points, ...

  d = √((2 -3)^2 +(-2-6)^2) = √(1 +64) = √65 ≈ 8.06

For the last and first points, ...

  d = √((-2-2)^2 +(3-(-2)^2) = √(16 +25) = √41 ≈ 6.40

Then the sum of the side lengths is ...

  5.83 +8.06 +6.40 = 20.29 ≈ 20.3

The perimeter of the triangle is about 20.3 units.
