Answer:

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

3 ( x + 4 ) = 36

divide both sides by 3

x + 4 = \frac{36}{3} }

divide 36 by 3 to get 12

x + 4 =12

subtract 4 from both sides

x = 12 - 4

subtract 4 from 12 to get 8

x = 8

What are simulations?​
lord [1]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

"A mathematical model is a description of a system using mathematical concepts and language. The process of developing a mathematical model is termed mathematical modeling. Mathematical models are used in the natural sciences (such as physics, biology, earth science, chemistry) and engineering disciplines (such as computer science, electrical engineering), as well as in the social sciences (such as economics, psychology, sociology, political science).

A model may help to explain a system and to study the effects of different components, and to make predictions about behavior."

Answer: 3 * 10 ^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the numbers

3.9 / 1.3

3

Subtract the powers of 10

10^5 / 10^2 = 10 ^ (5-2) = 10^3

The result is 3 * 10 ^3

Squares with sides of length x are cut out of each corner of a rectangular piece of cardboard measuring 23 ft by 13 ft. The resu
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that rectangle  has side length 23x13 feet.

When squares of side x are cut from all the four sides we have dimensions as

23-2x and 13-2x and height x

Volume =x(23-2x)(13-2x)

=x(299-72x+4x^2)\\=299x-72x^2+4x^3

Use derivative test

First derivative V'(x) V'(x)= 299-144x+12x^2\\V"(x) = -144+24x

Equate I derivative to 0

We get approximate value of x = 2.671, 9.329

Since width is 13 feet it cannot be 9.329

Hence x = 2.671

V"(x) = -80 <0

So maximum volume is

299x-72x^2+4x^3\\=299(2.671)-72(2.671)^2 +4(2.671)^3\\\\=361.186

In a blueprint, each square has a side length of 1/4 inch. Ceramic tile costs $5 per square foot. How much would it cost to tile
Bingel [31]

b.

Bedroom area

Lenght = 5 squares

= 5 × 1/4 inchi

= 5/4 inchi

Width = 4 squares

= 4 × 1/4 inchi

= 1 inchi

Large area = 5/4 × 1 inchi

= 5/4 inchi

Living room

Lenght = 7 squares

= 7 × 1/4 inchi

= 7/4 inchi

Width = 4 squares

= 4 × 1/4 inchi

= 1 inchi

Large area = 7/4 × 1 inchi

= 7/4 inchi

Total Area

Bedroom area + Living room area

= 5/4 + 7/4

= (5+7)/4 inchi

= 12/4 inchi

= 3 inchi

1 square yard = 1296 square inches

so 1 square inches = 1/1296 square yard

3 inchi = 3×1/1296

= 3/1296

= 1/432

Cost = 1/432 × $18

= $1/24

It would cost $1/24 to carpet the bedroom and living room.
