−2x−(−5−4x)=−5(2x−7)

Mathematics
1 answer:
hoa [83]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

<em>x = 2.5</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

- 2x - ( - 5 - 4x ) =  - 5 ( 2x - 7 )

- 2x + 5 + 4x = - 10x + 35

- 2x + 5 + 4x = - 10x + 35

- 2x + 4x + 10x = 35 - 5

12x = 30

<em>x = </em>\frac{5}{2}<em> = 2.5</em>

Check the answer:

<em>L.H.S.</em> = - 2(2.5) - [ - 5 - 4(2.5) ] = <em>10</em>

<em>R.H.S.</em> = - 5 [ 2(2.5) - 7 ] = <em>10</em>

What is the sum of the first 70 consecutive odd numbers? Explain.
expeople1 [14]

The sum of the first n odd numbers is n squared! So, the short answer is that the sum of the first 70 odd numbers is 70 squared, i.e. 4900.

Allow me to prove the result: odd numbers come in the form 2n-1, because 2n is always even, and the number immediately before an even number is always odd.

So, if we sum the first N odd numbers, we have

\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^N 2i-1 = 2\sum_{i=1}^N i - \sum_{i=1}^N 1

The first sum is the sum of all integers from 1 to N, which is N(N+1)/2. We want twice this sum, so we have

\displaystyle 2\sum_{i=1}^N i = 2\cdot\dfrac{N(N+1)}{2}=N(N+1)

The second sum is simply the sum of N ones:

\underbrace{1+1+1\ldots+1}_{N\text{ times}}=N

So, the final result is

\displaystyle \sum_{i=1}^N 2i-1 = 2\sum_{i=1}^N i - \sum_{i=1}^N 1 = N(N+1)-N = N^2+N-N = N^2

which ends the proof.

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all tiles will be used. Identify the domain for each of the given
avanturin [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we define the variables:

x: number of years after 1950

f (x): amount of vinyl sold.

Then, with the variables defined, we have:

68594 vinyl records were sold in 1958 ---------> f (8) = 68594

91299 vinyl records were sold in 1961 ---------> f (11) = 91299

38720 vinyl records were sold in 1952 ---------> f (2) = 38720

161743 vinyl records were sold in 1967 ---------> f (17) = 161743

How to find slope intercept form for perpendicular lines
Helga [31]
To find the slope intercept form of a line perpendicular to a given equation, the first thing you need to do is to find the slope of the perpendicular line. Because lines perpendicular to one another are always have a slope that is the negative reciprocal of them, the slope of the line perpendicular to y=x would be -1 (since the slope of y=x is 1). Then, since the perpendicular line passes through the point (5, -3), you would plug in the values of the x and y into the equation
y=-1x+b to get -3=-1(5)+b.

When you simplify, solve for b to get b=2. Now that you have your slope (m=-1) and your y-intercept (b=2), you can conclude that your perpendicular equation would be y=-x+2.
