Twice the sum of a number and 5 is equal to three times the difference of the number and 7. Find the number.

Alexandra [31]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the required number be x.

According to the given information:

$2(x + 5) = 3(x - 7) \\ \\ \therefore \: 2x + 10 = 3x - 21 \\ \\ \therefore \: 10 + 21 = 3x -2x \\ \\ \therefore \: 31 = x \\ \\ \huge \red { \boxed{\therefore \: x = 31}}$

Hence the required number is 31.

Help me out pleaseee

Answer:

Option B is the correct choice.

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph is attached below.

We have to find the $x$ intercept meaning the value of the point on $x-axis$ when $y=0$

So we will put the value of zero $(0)$ instead of $y$ in our given equation.

So here we have solved it algebraically.

$y=\frac{3}{4}x-3$

Putting $y=0$

$0=\frac{3}{4}x-3$

$0=\frac{3x-12}{4}$

Multiplying $4$ both sides.

$0=3x-12$

Adding $12$ both sides.

$12=3x$

Dividing with $3$ both sides.

$x=\frac{12}{3}=4$

So the x-intercept of the given equation is $4$ which can be written as $(4,0)$ in terms of coordinates.

Option B $(4,0)$ is the correct choice.

An arhitect wants to draw a rectangle with a diagonal of 20 inches. The length of the rectangle is to be 8 inches more than twic

kiruha [24]

The diagonal of a rectangle = sqrt(w^2 + l^2)

w = width

l = length

In this problem,

The diagonal = 20 in

w = x

l = 2x + 8

Let's plug our numbers into the formula above.

20in = sqrt((x)^2 + (2x + 8)^2)

Let's simplify the inside of the sqrt

20 in = sqrt(5x^2 + 32x + 64)

Now, let's square both sides.

400 = 5x^2 + 32x + 64

Subtract 400 from both sides.

0 = 5x^2 + 32x - 336

Factor

0 = (5x - 28)(x + 12)

Set both terms equal to zero and solve.

x + 12 = 0

Subtract 12 from both sides.

x = -12

5x - 28 = 0

Add 28 to both sides.

5x = 28

Divide both sides by 5

x = 28/5

The width cant be a negative number so now we know that the only real solution is 28/5

Let's plug 28/5 into our length equation.

Length = 2(28/5) + 8 = 56/5 + 8 = 96/5

In conclusion,

Length = 96/5 inches

Width = 28/5
