Answer: x = 2,340 homes without children

There are 2,340 homes without children.

Step-by-step explanation:

'x' represent the number of homes without children

'y' represent the number of homes with children

x : y = 9 : 7

Since the total number of homes is 4160 means x + y = 4160.

From x + y = 4160 follows y = 4160 - x.

Plug y = 4160 - x into x : y = 9 : 7

x : (4160 - x) = 9 : 7

Find the value of "k" such that 1/2 is a root of 2x^2+11x=-k
trapecia [35]

The value of k is -6

Step-by-step explanation:

The general form of the quadratic equation is y = ax² + bx + c

  • The roots of the equation is the values of x when y = 0
  • ax² + bx + c = 0, is used to find the roots

∵ 2x² + 11x = -k

- Add k to both sides

∴ 2x² + 11x + k = 0

∵ The roots of the quadratic equations is the values of x when y = 0

∵ \frac{1}{2} is a root of the equation

- Substitute x by \frac{1}{2} in the equation above to find k

∵ 2( \frac{1}{2} )² + 11( \frac{1}{2} ) + k = 0

∴ 2( \frac{1}{4} ) + \frac{11}{2} + k = 0

∴ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{11}{2} + k = 0

- Add the like terms

∵ \frac{1}{2} + \frac{11}{2} = \frac{12}{2} = 6

∴ 6 + k = 0

- Subtract 6 from both sides

∴ k = -6

The value of k is -6

The population of Linton is 12 times as great as the population of Elmore the combined population of both towns is 9,646 people
zysi [14]
Let the population of Elmore be "X".
Since that the population of Linton is 12 times as great as the population of Elmore, then it is considered to be "12x".
Since that the sum of both Elmore and Linton is 9.646, then "X + 12x = 9464" x+12x is 13x , so it should be "13x = 9464". Now, it is easy to find the population of Elmore which is 9464 / 13 = 742. Since that the population of Linton is 12 times the population of Elmore, then the population of Linton is "742 * 12 = 8904".

−60= −24+12r I need this thanks
g100num [7]

Answer:

r = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

- 60= - 24 + 12r

Add 24 to each side

- 60+24= - 24+24 + 12r

-36 = 12r

Divide each side by 12

-36/12 = 12r/12

-3 =r
