Answer:

c. x = -1/15

Step-by-step explanation:

5/2x - 1/3 = -1/2 [multiply the whole equation by 6 (lowest common denom)

15x - 2 = -3 [add 2 on both sides of equation

15x = -1 [divide both sides by 15 to isolate x]

x = -1/15

Answer is c. Change the denominator of 1/3 and 1/2 to 6 so you have 3/6 for 1/2 and 2/6 for 1/3. then add 2/6 to both sides to get -1/6 then isolate x.

<span>1. Question 1: The area of a rectangular carpet is given by the trinomial 5x^2 - 3x - 14. What are the possible dimensions of the carpet? Use factoring.

Answer: 5x^2 -3x  -14

Explanation:

You might probe the different pairs of factors given in the answer choices to check wich product is equal to the oirginal polynomial or you can factor from zero.

I will show  you how to factor that polynomial from zero:

1) given: 5x^2 - 3x - 14

2) multiply and divide by the leading coefficient =>

5 [5x^2 - 3x  -14 ]
----------------------
         5

3) Enter the the factor 5 inside the parenthesis:

5.5x^2 - 5.3x - 5.14
--------------------------
              5

4) rearrange conviniently to show (5x) as a common factir of the first two terms

(5x)^2 - 3(5x) - 70
--------------------------
              5

5) factor the numerator using 5x as common term of the two binomials:

(5x  ) ( 5x   ) <----> open the parenthesis
(5x - ) (5x + ) <-----> include the signs
(5x - 10) (5x + 7)  <---> two numbers that add up - 3 and their product is  - 70

=>

(5x - 10)(5x + 7)
---------------------
         5

6) divide (5x - 10) by 5 => x - 2

7) factored expression

(x - 2) (5x + 7)

8) Conclusion: the answer is the option B. (5x + 7) and (x - 2)


2. Question 2.  The area of a rectangular barnyard is given by the trinomial 6x^2 + 7x – 20. What are the possible dimensions of the barnyard? Use factoring

Answer: </span><span><span>option C. (2x + 5)(3x - 4)</span>

Explanation:

The procedure is the same of the question 1.

1) given: 6x^2 + 7x - 20

2) multiply numerator and denominator by 6 and rearrange to show (6x) as common factor ot the first two terms =>

(6x)^2 + 7(6x) - 120
--------------------------
              6
3) factor the numerador using 6x as common factor ot two binomials, and simplify:

(6x + )(6x - )
(6x + )(6x - )
(6x + 15) (6x - 8)

=>

(6x + 15)(6x -8)
---------------------
           6

(6x + 15)(6x - 8)
---------------------- =
        3.2

(6x + 15)      (6x - 8)
------------- .  ------------ =
      3                2

(2x + 5)(3x - 4)

4) answer: option C. (2x + 5)(3x - 4)</span>

bonnie runs 1 2/3 times as far as john each day if bonnie runs 5 miles on monday 3 1/2 miles on tuesday and 5 3/4 miles on wedne
nignag [31]

Answer:

3 miles on Monday

2¹/₁₀ miles on Tuesday

3⁹/₂₀ miles on Wednesday

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that Bonnie runs 1⅔ (⁵/₃) times as far as John each day

This means that John runs ³/₅ times as far as Bonnie.

MONDAY:

Bonnie runs 5 miles on Monday, therefore, John runs:

³/₅ * 5 = 3 miles

TUESDAY:

Bonnie runs 3½ (⁷/₂) miles on Tuesday, therefore, John runs:

³/₅ * ⁷/₂ = ²¹/₁₀ = 2¹/₁₀ miles

WEDNESDAY:

Bonnie runs 5³/₄ (²³/₄) miles on Wednesday, therefore, John runs:

³/₅ * ²³/₄ = ⁶⁹/₂₀ = 3⁹/₂₀ miles

Answer:

height is 6.8m

Step-by-step explanation:

SO both area is same

For trapezoid area is

(10+7) * 4 * 1/2 = 34

And for triangle area equation is

10 * h * 1/2 = 34

here find h

h= 34 *2 * 1/10

h=6.8
