5x + 2(x + 1) ≤ 23

Distribute the 2.

5x + 2x + 2 ≤ 23

Combine like terms.

7x + 2 ≤ 23

Subtract 2 from both sides.

7x ≤ 21

Divide both sides by 7

x ≤ 3

A tub is filled with 18000 cm3 of water. It loses one-tenth of its water every 12 hours. What volume of water would be remaining

Lina20 [59]

Answer:

0 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

the lost of water =

(5×24)/12 x 1/10 × 18000

= 10/10 × 18000 = 18,000 cm³

so, the remaining water in the tub=

18,000 - 18,000 = 0 cm³

(the tub is empty)

Hi ;-)

$x^2+6x-10=30 \ \ /-30\\\\x^2+6x-40=0\\\\a=1, \ b=6, \ c=-40\\\\\Delta=b^2-4ac=6^2-4\cdot1\cdot(-40)=36+160=196\\\\\sqrt{\Delta}=\sqrt{196}=14\\\\x_1=\frac{-b-\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-6-14}{2}=\boxed{-10}\\\\x_2=\frac{-b+\sqrt{\Delta}}{2a}=\frac{-6+14}{2}=\boxed4$
