Pumpkins at a local farm sell for $.49 per pound. Jim Ring spent $73.50. How many pounds of pumpkins were purchased?

2 answers:

6 0

Number of pounds purchased multiplied by price per pound equals the total $ spent.

x= # pumpkin pounds purchased
0.49x=$73.50
Divide both sides by 0.49
x=150 pumpkin pounds purchased

Hope this helps! :)

For this case we must solve the following quadratic equation:

$3x ^ 2-2x + 5 = 0$

Where:

$a = 3\\b = -2\\c = 5$

The roots are given by:

$x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}$

Substituting the values we have:

$x = \frac {- (- 2) \pm \sqrt {(- 2) ^ 2-4 (3) (5)}} {2 (3)}\\x = \frac {- (- 2) \pm \sqrt {(- 2) ^ 2-4 (3) (5)}} {2 (3)}\\x = \frac {2 \pm \sqrt {4-60}} {6}\\x = \frac {2 \pm \sqrt {-56}} {6}$

By definition we have to:

$i ^ 2 = -1\\x = \frac {2 \pm \sqrt {56i ^ 2}} {6}\\x = \frac {2 \pm i \sqrt {56}} {6}\\x = \frac {2 \pm i \sqrt {2 ^ 2 * 14}} {6}\\x = \frac {2 \pm 2i \sqrt {14}} {6}\\x = \frac {1 \pm i \sqrt {14}} {3}$

We have two complex roots:

$x_ {1} = \frac {1+ i \sqrt {14}} {3}\\x_ {2} = \frac {1- i \sqrt {14}} {3}$

Answer:

$x_ {1} = \frac {1+ i \sqrt {14}} {3}\\x_ {2} = \frac {1- i \sqrt {14}} {3}$

Quick Math, Please Help! Thank you!

Answer:

The remaining side has a length of six units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that this is an Isosceles triangle because angles A and C are marked as being the same angle. So we know that AB and CB are the same length.

As we're given their lengths, we can simply equate the two, and solve for x:

$x + 4 = 3x - 8\\12 = 2x\\x = 6$

So we know that the remaining side has a length of 6.

1 over 3b = 4 over 5. which of the following equals b in this equation?

Alina [70]

1/(3b)=4/5 multiply both sides by 5

5/(3b)=4 multiply both sides by 3b

5=12b divide both sides by 12

b=5/12 (not sure why you don't have that as an option in your answers, perhaps I misunderstood your description of the original equation...)
