Answer:

  • 52

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of students be x

<u>Initial share was:</u>

  • 120/x

<u>With the less students the share is:</u>

  • 120 /(x - 8) = 120/x + 0.5

<u>Solve for x:</u>

  • 120 /(x - 8) = 120/x + 0.5
  • 120x = 120(x - 8) + 0.5x(x - 8)
  • 120x = 120x - 960 + 0.5x² - 4x
  • 0.5x² - 4x - 960 = 0
  • x² - 8x - 1920 = 0
  • x² - 8x + 16 = 1936
  • (x - 8)² = 1936
  • x - 8 = √1936
  • x - 8 = 44
  • x = 52

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

x = -19/2      y = -33/2

Step-by-step explanation:

x - (3x + 12) = 7

x - 3x - 12 = 7

-2x - 12 = 7

-2x = 19

x = -19/2

x - y = 7

-19/2 - y = 7

-y = 33/2

y = -33/2

The answer is: x is choose your answer
katrin2010 [14]

Answer:

All real numbers

Let's find the critical points of the inequality.

−4x+7=17

−4x+7+−7=17+−7(Add -7 to both sides)

−4x=10

−4x−1=10−1

(Divide both sides by -1)

4x=−10

4x=−10(Solve Exponent)

log(4x)=log(−10)(Take log of both sides)

x*(log(4))=log(−10)

x=log(−10)log(4)

x=NaN

A shipping company is loading cube shaped crates into a larger cube shaped container the smaller cubes have side lengths 21/2 fe
zheka24 [161]

Answer:

64 crates

Step-by-step explanation:

Smaller Cube Side Length = 2 1/2 feet, or, 2.5 feet

Larger Container (Cube) Side Length = 10 feet

We find volume of larger container and find volume of small crates. We divide the large volume by volume of each crate. This will give us number of crates we can fit.

Volume of Cube = x^3

Where x is the side length of the cube

Now,

Small Crate Volume = (2.5)^3 = 15.625 cubic feet

Large Container Volume = 10^3 = 1000 cubic feet

Number of crates that would fit = 1000/15.625 = 64

So, 64 crates will fit in the largest shipping container

The dimensions of the prism can be 2x, 2x+3 and x+6.

We first factor out the GCF of the trinomial.  The GCF of the coefficients is 2.  Each term has an x in common as well, so the GCF is 2x.

Factoring out the 2x, we have
2x(2x²+15x+18).

To factor the remaining trinomial, we find factors of 2*18=36 that sum to 15.  12*3 = 36 and 12+3 = 15.  We split up 15x into 12x and 3x:

2x(2x²+12x+3x+18)

Now we group together the first two terms in parentheses and the last two:
2x((2x²+12x)+(3x+18))

Factor out the GCF of the first group:
2x(2x(x+6)+(3x+18))

Factor out the GCF of the second group:
2x(2x(x+6)+3(x+6))

Factoring out what these have in common,
2x(x+6)(2x+3)
