-8(1 + 5b) – 2(86 – 1) = 50

kati45 [8]

Answer:

b = -57/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's first distribute everything out:

-8(1 + 5b) = -8 * 1 + (-8) * 5b = -8 - 40b

2(86 - 1) = 2 * 85 = 170

So, we have:

-8 - 40b - 170 = 50

-40b - 178 = 50

-40b = 50 + 178 = 228

b = -228/40 = -57/10

Thus, the answer is b = -57/10.

Hope this helps!

An author is writing and illustrating a new book. The ratio of pages with text to pages with illustrations is represented in the

Nitella [24]

Answer:

Th number of pages is 33

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the number of pages of text shown in the illustration is 3:2. This implies that for every 2 pages of illustrations, there are 3 pages of text. Therefore, for 22 pages of illustration we shall have;

2 page of illustration = 3 page of text

Then

22 page of illustration = x pages of text

Then by Cross multiplication

$22 \times 3 = x \times 2$

$66 = 2x$

x = $\frac{66}{2}$

x = 33

|1/2b-8|=|1/4b-1|<br> b=____ and ____

Deffense [45]

Answer:

b = 12 and 28

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value equation |1/2b-8| = |1/4b-1| resolves to a piecewise linear function with three pieces. There are two solutions.

<h3>Domains</h3>

The absolute value function on the left has a turning point where its value is zero:

1/2b -8 = 0

b -16 = 0

b = 16

The absolute value function on the right has a turning point where its value is zero:

1/4b -1 = 0

b -4 = 0

b = 4

For b > 16, both absolute value functions are identity functions. In this domain, the equation is ...

1/2b -8 = 1/4b -1

For 4 < b < 16, the function on the left negates its argument, so the equation in this domain is ...

-(1/2b -8) = 1/4b -1

For b < 4, both functions negate their arguments, so the equation in this domain is ...

-(1/2b -8) = -(1/4b -1)

For the purpose of finding the value of b, this is effectively identical to the equation for b > 16. (The value of b does not change if we multiply both sides of the equation by -1.)

<h3>Solutions</h3>

<u>Domain b < 4 ∪ 16 < b</u>

1/2b -8 = 1/4b -1

2b -32 = b -4 . . . . . . . . multiply by 4

b = 28 . . . . . . . . . . . . add 32-b to both sides

This solution is in the domain of the equation, so is one of the solutions to the original equation.

<u>Domain 4 < b < 16</u>

-(1/2b -8) = 1/4b -1 . . . . equation in this domain

-2b +32 = b -4 . . . . . . multiply by 4

36 = 3b . . . . . . . . . . . add 2b+4 to both sides

12 = b . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 3

This solution is in the domain of the equation, so is the other solution to the original equation.

<h3>Graph</h3>

For the purposes of the graph, we have define the function g(b) to be the difference of the two absolute value functions. The solutions are found where g(x) = 0, the x-intercepts. The graph shows those to be ...

b = 12 and b = 28

<em>Additional comment</em>

Defining g(b) = |1/2b-8| -|1/4b-1|, we can rewrite it as ...

$g(b)=\begin{cases}7-\dfrac{1}{4}b&\text{for }b < 4\\-\dfrac{3}{4}b+9&\text{for }4\le b < 16\\\dfrac{1}{4}b-7&\text{for }16\le b\end{cases}$
