The error is in step 2. if you are performing an operation on one side of the equation, it must be performed on the entire expression. you can’t only divide by 2 on one term, you must do it to everything in the equation. instead, you could add 6 to both sides first, giving you 2x = -4. Then you can divide by 2 on both sides. the answer is -2.
Answer:
Of the basketball players on the team, exactly 75% of the players have heights above 180
Step-by-step explanation:
So, they are 12 basketball players in total
1 - 170 - This is 1/12
2 - 175 - This is 1/6
1 - 180 - This is 1/12
4- 185 - This is 1/3
3 - 190 - This is 1/4
1 - 195 - This is 1/12
75% (Or 3/4) have heights above 180
Therefore, the answer is B
Answer:
twenty two percent of 55 would be the answer B.40 I think.
Rewrite the given quadratic equation in standard form: Kx 2 + 2x - 1 = 0
Discriminant = 4 - 4(K)(-1) = 4 + 4K
For the equation to have two real solutions, the discriminant has to be positive. Hence we need to solve the inequality 4 + 4K > 0.
The solution set to the above inequality is given by: K > -1 for which the given equation has two real solutions.
-9/15y+3/21=5/15y-14/21
Move 5/15y to the other side. Sign changes from +5/15y to -5/15y
-9/15y-5/15y+3/21=5/15y-5/15y-14/21
-14/15y+3/21=-14/21
Move 3/21 to the other side. Sign changes from +3/21 to -3/21.
-14/15y+3/21-3/21=-14/21-3/21
-14/15y=-14/21-3/21
-14/21-3/21=-17/21
-14/15y=-17/21
Multiply both sides by -15/14
-14/15y(-15/14)
Cross out 15 and 15, divide by 15 then becomes 1
Cross out 14 and 14, divide by 14 then becomes 1
1*1*y=y
-17/21*-15/14
Cross out 15 and 21 , divide by 3. 15/3=2, 21/3=7
17/7*5/14=85/98
Answer: c. y=85/98
