Answer:

$x = 14$

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, the following equation is generated given the available information:

$\frac{(x + 7) + x)}{x + 7} = \frac{12 + 8}{12}$

$\frac{2x + 7}{x + 7} = \frac{20}{12}$

$\frac{2x + 7}{x + 7} = \frac{5}{3}$

Cross multiply

$3(2x + 7) = 5(x + 7)$

$6x + 21 = 5x + 35$

Collect like terms

$6x - 5x = - 21 + 35$

$x = - 21 + 35$

$x = 14$

Match equivalent expressions

Solving (a):

$3 + 12 + 48 + 192 + 768$

The expression can be written as:

$3 \to 3*4^{0$ --- 0

$12 \to 3 * 4^{1$ ---- 1

$48 \to 3 * 4^{2$ --- 2

$192 \to 3 * 4^{3$ ---- 3

$768 \to 3 * 4^{4$ ---- 4

For the nth term, the expression is:

$Term = 3 * 4^{n$ ---- n

So, the summation is:

$3 + 12 + 48 + 192 + 768 = \sum\limits^4_{n=0} 3 * 4^n$

Solving (b):

$4 + 32 + 256 + 2048 + 16384$

The expression can be written as:

$4 \to 4 * 8^0$ --- 0

$32 \to 4 * 8^1$ ---- 1

$256 \to 4 * 8^2$ --- 2

$2048 \to 4 * 8^3$ ---- 3

$16384 \to 4 * 8^4$ ---- 4

For the nth term, the expression is:

$Term \to 4 * 8^n$ ---- n

So, the summation is:

$4 + 32 + 256 + 2048 + 16384 = \sum\limits^4_{n=0} 4 * 8^n$

Solving (c):

$2 + 6 + 18 + 54 + 162$

The expression can be written as:

$2 \to 2 * 3^0$ --- 0

$6 \to 2 * 3^1$ ---- 1

$18 \to 2 * 3^2$ --- 2

$54 \to 2 * 3^3$ ---- 3

$162 \to 2 * 3^4$ ---- 4

For the nth term, the expression is:

$Term \to 2 * 3^n$ ---- n

So, the summation is:

$2 + 6 + 18 + 54 + 162 = \sum\limits^4_{n=0} 2* 3^n$

Solving (d):

$3 + 15 + 75 + 375 + 1875$

The expression can be written as:

$3 \to 3 * 5^0$ --- 0

$15 \to 3 * 5^1$ ---- 1

$75 \to 3 * 5^2$ --- 2

$375 \to 3 * 5^3$ ---- 3

$1875 \to 3 * 5^4$ ---- 4

For the nth term, the expression is:

$Term \to 3 * 5^n$ ---- n

So, the summation is:

$3 + 15 + 75 + 375 + 1875 = \sum\limits^4_{n=0} 3* 5^n$

Answer:

Total time taken by walking, running and cycling = 22 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the speed of walking = x

As given,

The distance of walking = 1

Now,

As $Time = \frac{Distance }{Speed}$

⇒ Time traveled by walking = $\frac{1}{x}$

Now,

Given that - He runs twice as fast as he walks

⇒Speed of running = 2x

Also given distance traveled by running = 1

Time traveled by running = $\frac{1}{2x}$

Now,

Given that - he cycles one and a half times as fast as he runs.

⇒Speed of cycling = $\frac{3}{2}$ (2x) = 3x

Also given distance traveled by cycling = 1

Time traveled by cycling = $\frac{1}{3x}$

Now,

Total time traveled = Time traveled by walking + running + cycling

= $\frac{1}{x}$ + $\frac{1}{2x}$ + $\frac{1}{3x}$

= $\frac{6+3+2}{6x} = \frac{11}{6x}$

If he cycled the three mile , then total time taken = $\frac{1}{3x}$ + $\frac{1}{3x}$ + $\frac{1}{3x}$ = x

Given,

He takes ten minutes longer than he would do if he cycled the three miles

⇒x + 10 = $\frac{11}{6} x$

⇒ $x - \frac{11}{6} x = -10$

⇒ $-\frac{5}{6}x = -10$

⇒x = $\frac{60}{5}$ = 12

⇒x = 12

∴ we get

Total time traveled by walking + running + cycling = $\frac{11}{6} x = \frac{11}{6} (12) = 11 (2) = 22$ min

Kylie is comparing the cost of two housekeeping companies, DoItRight and CleanIt. The table describes the costs for DoItRight.

abruzzese [7]

Answer:

First, find the cost function of DoItRight Housekeeping:

Slope(m) = cost per hour = $\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}=\frac{44-26}{3-1.5}=\frac{18}{1.5}=12$

The y-intercept(b), representing the initial cost, can be calculated by substituting in values to the function:

$f(x)=12x+b\\26=12(1.5)+b\\b=26-18=8$

Therefore, the function for two companies are:

The function for DoItRight is $f(x)=12x+8$
The function for CleanIt is $g(x)=10x+16$

When comparing the two functions, it's shown how CleanIt has a greater y-intercept than DoltRight, meaning that CleanIt has a greater initial cost than DotRight. The y-intercept is when the graph intercepts the y-axis, therefore, the coordinates there would be (0, y-value), which, in this case for CleanIt company, will be (0, 16). While CleanIt has a greater y-intercept(initial cost), DoItRight has a greater slope, meaning they cost more per hour.
