What are the solutions of 4x2 - 16X = 16x - 39

Mathematics

Alex17521 [72]3 years ago

Answer:

x = \frac{3}{2}, x = \frac{13}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x² - 16x = 16x - 39 ( subtract 16x - 39 from both sides )

4x² - 32x + 39 = 0

Consider the factors of the product of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term, that is

product = 4 × 39 = 156 and sum = - 32

The factors are - 26 and - 6

Use these factors to split the x- term

4x² - 26x - 6x + 39 = 0 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

2x(2x - 13) - 3(2x - 13) = 0 ← factor out (2x - 13) from each term

(2x - 13)(2x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x = \frac{3}{2}

2x - 13 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 13 ⇒ x = \frac{13}{2}

At carl's combine diner, there are three size of coffee drinks regular (300ml), large (500ml) and extra large (800mL), and they
MariettaO [177]

Answer:

The number of regular, large, and extra-large drinks are 12, 15, and 10 respectively.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the cost for regular coffee drinks (300 ml)=$2.25

The cost for large coffee drinks (500 ml)=$3.25

The cost for extra large coffee drinks (800 ml)=$5.75

Let p,q, and r be the number of regular, large, and extra-large coffee sold.

As the diner sold a total of 37 coffees, so

p+q+r=37

r=37-p-q...(i)

The volume of p regular coffee = 300p ml

The volume of q  large coffee = 500q ml

The volume of r extra-large coffee = 800r ml

As the total volume of coffee sold was 19,100mi, so

300p+500q+800r=19100

By using equation (i)

300p+500q+800(37-p-q)=19100

300p+500q+800 x 37 - 800p - 800q=19100

-500p-300q=19100-29600

500p+300q=10500

500p=10500-300q

p=21-0.6q...(ii)

Now, the cost of p regular coffee=$2.25p

The cost of q large coffee=$3.25q

The cost of r extra-large coffee=$5.75r

As the amount of money made in coffee sales was $133.25, so

2.25p+3.25q+5.75r=133.25

By using equations (1)  we have

2.25p+3.25q+5.75(37-p-q)=133.25

2.25p+3.25q+212.75-5.75p-5.75q=133.25

3.50p+2.50q=79.5

From equation (ii)

3.5(21-0.6q)+2.50q=79.5

73.5-2.1q+2.5q=79.5

0.4q=79.5-73.5=6

q=6/0.4

q=15

From equation (ii)

p=21-0.6(15)

p=12

From equation (i)

r= 37-12-15

r=10

Hence, the number of regular, large, and extra-large drinks are 12, 15, and 10 respectively.

On a recent trip to a local orchard, the Morgan family picked four different kinds of apples - Braeburn, Cortland, Fuji, and Rom
ivanzaharov [21]

Answer:

Morgan family picked 144 Braeburn apples, 96 Cortland apples, 72 Fuji apples and 48 Rome apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B, C, F and R represent Braeburn apples, Cortland apples, Fuji apples, and Rome apples respectively.

We have been given that Morgan family picked a total of 360 apples. We can represent this information in an equation as:

B+C+F+R=360...(1)

We are told that Morgan family picked twice as many Braeburn as Fuji. We can represent this information in an equation as:

B=2F...(2)

We are told that Morgan family picked twice as many Cortland as Rome, that is:

C=2R...(3)

We are told that Morgan family picked 50% more Fuji than Rome, that is:

F=1.5R...(4)

Upon substituting equation (4) in equation (2), we will get:

B=2(1.5)R

B=3R

Now, each apple in in terms of Rome apples, so we will get:

3R+2R+1.5R+R=360

Let us solve for R.

7.5R=360

\frac{7.5R}{7.5}=\frac{360}{7.5}

R=48

Therefore, Morgan family picked 48 Rome apples.

Upon substituting R=48 in (3), we will get:

C=2R\Rightarrow 2(48)=96

Therefore, Morgan family picked 96 Cortland apples.

Upon substituting R=48 in (4), we will get:

F=1.5R\Rightarrow 1.5(48)=72

Therefore, Morgan family picked 72 Fuji apples.

Upon substituting F=72 in (2), we will get:

B=2F\Rightarrow 2(72)=144

Therefore, Morgan family picked 144 Braeburn apples.
