Answer:

x = 0, x = $\frac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

8x² - 12x = 0 ← factor out 4x from each term

4x(2x - 3) = 0

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

4x = 0 ⇒ x = 0

2x - 3 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 3 ⇒ x = $\frac{3}{2}$

Answer:

No, Matt did not solve the equation correctly

Correct Answer: x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x + 2) = 30

Step 1: Distribute

4x + 2 = 30 $=>$ This is his mistake, he should completely distribute 4

to x and 2

Step 2: Subtract 2 from both sides/Isolate x

4x = 28 $=>$ This part is done correctly, but wrong because of Step 1

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4

x = 7 $=>$ This is correct, but again, he messed up on Step 1

<h3>Let's find the correct answer to this equation:</h3><h3>4(x +2) = 30</h3>

Step 1: Distribute

Remember to distribute 4 to all terms in the parenthesis.

4(x + 2) = 4(x) + 4(2)

= 4x + 8

4x + 8 = 30

Step 2: Subtract 8 from both sides/Isolate x

Move all the terms that do not belong to x to the other side. We can do this by subtracting 8 from both sides $=>$ (opposite operation of adding 8)

4x + 8 = 30

4x = 30 - 8

4x = 32

Step 3: Divide both sides by 4/Isolate x

Now we want x by itself. Since x is being multiplied by 4, we have to use the opposite operation, dividing by 4, to have x on one side by itself

4x = 32

4(x) = 32

x = 32 ÷ 4

x = 8

Question

balandron [24]

Answer:

The approximate percentage of SAT scores that are less than 865 is 16%.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

In this problem, we have that:

Mean of 1060, standard deviation of 195.

Empirical Rule to estimate the approximate percentage of SAT scores that are less than 865.

865 = 1060 - 195

So 865 is one standard deviation below the mean.

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean, so approximately 100 - 68 = 32% are more than 1 standard deviation from the mean. The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that approximately 32/2 = 16% are more than 1 standard deviation below the mean and approximately 16% are more than 1 standard deviation above the mean. So

The approximate percentage of SAT scores that are less than 865 is 16%.

The length of a rectangle is 5 meters less than twice the width. If the area of the rectangle is 273 meters, find the dimensions

AleksandrR [38]

The length of the rectangle = 16 meters

The width of the rectangle = 10.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The Area of the rectangle is 273.

Step 1 :

Let, the width of the rectangle be 'x'

The length of the rectangle is 2x - 5

Step 2 :

Area of the rectangle = length $\times$ width

273 = (2x - 5) x

273 = 2x^2 - 5x

Step 3 :

The equation formed is 2x^2 - 5x -273 = 0

a= coefficient of x^2 = 2

b= coefficient of x = -5

c = constant = -273

Find the roots of the equation, to find the width.

Step 4 :

Find the roots using factorizing method,

ac = 2 $\times$ -273 = -546 and b= -5

Factorizing -546 as -26 $\times$ 21

The product of -26 $\times$ 21 = -546

The sum of -26 + 21 = -5

Step 5 :

The roots of the equation 2x^2 - 5x -273 = 0 are x= -26/2 and x= 21/2

The values of x are x= -13 and x= 10.5

Since the width cannot be a negative value, neglect x= -13

Step 6 :

Therefore,

The width of the rectangle = 10.5 meters

The length of the rectangle = 2x-5

= 2(10.5) - 5

= 21 - 5

length = 16 meters
