Answer:

x = 9

-1 + 14x = 12x + 17

Katena32 [7]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

-1 + 14x = 12x + 17

Rearrange terms.

14x - 1 = 12x + 17

Add 1 to both sides of the equation.

14x - 1 + 1 = 12x + 17 + 1

Simplify.

14x = 12x + 17 + 1

14x = + 12x + 18

Subtract 12x from both sides of the equation.

14x - 12x = + 12x - 12x + 18

Simplify.

2x = + 12x - 12x + 18

2x = 18

18 ÷ 2 = 9

x = 9

Determine the solution set of (x - 4)2 = 12.
galben [10]
(x-4)2=12
First, you want to divide both sides by 2 to eliminate the 2 outside of the parenthesis. That leaves you with:
(x-4)=6
Then add four to both sides to eliminate the four inside the parenthesis:
x=10

To check work, substitute ten in for x in the original equation:
(10-4)2=12
(6)2=12
12=12, so this is correct :)

Jayden and Sheridan both tried to find the missing side of the right triangle. A right triangle is shown. One leg is labeled as
stellarik [79]

Answer:

Sheridan's Work is correct

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The lengths side of a right triangle must satisfy the Pythagoras Theorem

c^{2}=a^{2}+b^{2}

where

a and b are the legs

c is the hypotenuse (the greater side)

In this problem

Let

a=7\ cm\\c=13\ cm

substitute

13^{2}=7^{2}+b^{2}

Solve for b

169=49+b^{2}

b^{2}=169-49

b^{2}=120

b=\sqrt{120}\ cm

b=10.95\ cm

we have that

<em>Jayden's Work</em>

a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}

a=7\ cm\\b=13\ cm

substitute and solve for c

7^{2}+13^{2}=c^{2}

49+169=c^{2}

218=c^{2}

c=\sqrt{218}\ cm

c=14.76\ cm

Jayden's Work is incorrect, because the missing side is not the hypotenuse of the right triangle

<em>Sheridan's Work</em>

a^{2}+b^{2}=c^{2}

a=7\ cm\\c=13\ cm

substitute

7^{2}+b^{2}=13^{2}

Solve for b

49+b^{2}=169

b^{2}=169-49

b^{2}=120

b=\sqrt{120}\ cm

b=10.95\ cm

therefore

Sheridan's Work is correct

Helpppppppp. Jason inherited a piece of land from his great-uncle. Owners in the area claim that there is a 45% chance that the
tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

Jason Inherit a land with a 45% chance of having oil.

Step-by-step explanation:

 The probability of the land having oil is = P ( O) = 45 /100

The probability of the land having oil is= Q(O ) =55/100

The machine has an accuracy of 80%. This suggests that 8 out of 10 times the machine will give a wrong reading.

The probability of the correct reading is=  P(M)=80/100

The probability of the incorrect reading is=Q(M)=20/100

The case when the machine predicts there is no oil and there is indeed oil can be calculated:Probability=Probability of oil present  ×  probability of the incorrect reading

Probability=P(O) x Q(M)

Probability=45/100 x 20/100

Probability=9/100

The probability of the test predicting no oil in land and the land has oil is  0.09 or 9%
