Tim,Griff and Kay baked chocolate for Kay s birthday party.Tim baked 3 times as many as Kay.Griff baked half as many as Tim.Alto
lianna [129]
Answer: 48

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Define the number of cakes they baked in term of x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Let the number of cakes Kay baked be x

Kay = x
Tim = 3x                ← Tim baked 3 times as many as Kay
Griff = 1.5x            ← Griff baked 1/2 as many as Tim

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Construct the equation and solve for x
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The total number of cakes baked was 88.

x + 3x + 1.5x = 88        ← Combine like terms
5.5 x = 88                     ← Divide by 5.5
÷5.5    ÷5.5
x = 16

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Find the number of cakes each baked
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kay = x = 16
TIm = 3x = 16 x 3 = 48
Griff = 1.5x = 1.5(16) = 24

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: Tim baked 48 cakes.

Solve the equation:<br> 5|2x-7|=20
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

Answer:

x = \frac{11}{2}, \frac{3}{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

First, isolate the absolute value:

5|2x - 7| = 20

divide both sides by 5:

|2x - 7| = 4

break into 2 equations:

2x - 7 = 4, 2x - 7 = -4

solve both equations and collect solutions:

2x = 11, 2x = 3

x = \frac{11}{2}, \frac{3}{2}

BRAINIEST IF ANSWERED CORRECTLY
adoni [48]

An example of something that doesn't have a solution is something like x+2 = x+3

If we subtract x from both sides, then we end up with 2 = 3, which is always false.

No matter what we plug in for x, the original equation will always be false. The right hand side is always 1 larger than the left side. So that's why we don't have any solutions here.

Side note: equations of this form are known as contradictions (or we could say the equation is inconsistent).

=====================================================

An example of something that has one solution is 3x+2 = 2x+7

Solving this equation leads us to...

3x+2 = 2x+7

3x-2x = 7-2

1x = 5

x = 5

To verify the solution, we plug it back into the original equation

3x+2 = 2x+7

3(5)+2 = 2(5)+7

15+2 = 10+7

17 = 17

We get the same thing on both sides, so we get a true statement. This confirms that x = 5 is the solution to 3x+2 = 2x+7.

=====================================================

An example of an equation with infinitely many solutions is 2x+4 = 2(x+2)

Notice how both sides are the same thing. The 2(x+2) distributes out to get 2x+4

Since we have the exact same identical expression on both sides, this ultimately means no matter what we plug in for x, we'll get a true statement. True statements (like the conclusion at the last section) are simply anything with the same number on both sides after simplifying everything.

Side note: equations of this form are known as identities

3x+2y=6 and y=1/3x-11 perpendicular or parallel
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer: To determine if two lines are parallel or perpendicular, you have to look at the slopes. For the line y=kx+b, k is the slope.

For two lines  y=k1x+b1 and y=k2X+b2 ,When K1=K2, two lines are parallel; when K1=-1/k2, two lines are perpendicular. It doesn't matter whatever b1, b2 are. Hence to save time, you only need to calculate  k1 and k2.

To calculate the slope k of any line, you have to change the equation to y=kx+b

For -y=3x-2, k=3/(-1)=-3 (you divide -1 on each side of =, but you don't need to calculate -2/(-1))

For -6X+2y=6, K=6/2=3 (you first move the -6x to right side, it becomes 6x, then divide by 2)

Now you can get the answer: The two lines neither parallel nor perpendicular.
