Answer:

x = 2

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define equation</u>

2.5(6x - 4) = 10 + 4(1.5 + 0.5x)

<u>Step 2: Solve for </u><em><u>x</u></em>

  1. Distribute:                                   15x - 10 = 10 + 6 + 2x
  2. Combine like terms:                   15x - 10 = 16 + 2x
  3. Subtract 2x on both sides:        13x - 10 = 16
  4. Add 10 to both sides:                 13x = 26
  5. Divide both sides by 13:             x = 2

<u>Step 3: Check</u>

<em>Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.</em>

  1. Substitute in <em>x</em>:                    2.5(6(2) - 4) = 10 + 4(1.5 + 0.5(2))
  2. Multiply:                               2.5(12 - 4) = 10 + 4(1.5 + 1)
  3. Subtract/Add:                      2.5(8) = 10 + 4(2.5)
  4. Multiply:                               20 = 10 + 10
  5. Add:                                     20 = 20

Here we see that 20 does indeed equal 20.

∴ x = 2 is a solution of the equation.

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

2.5(6x-4)=10+4(1.5+0.5x) [Work out the brackets]

15x-10=0+6+2x [Solve]

15x-10=16+2x [Convey the terms]

15x-2x=16+10 [Add up the same terms and calculate]

13x=26 [Divide both parts]

x=2

by 0 day, or t = 0, there are 2 folks sick,

 by the third day, t = 3, there are 40 folks sick,

\bf \qquad \textit{Amount for Exponential Growth}&#10;\\\\&#10;A=P(1 + r)^t\qquad &#10;\begin{cases}&#10;A=\textit{accumulated amount}\to &40\\&#10;P=\textit{initial amount}\to &2\\&#10;r=rate\to r\%\to \frac{r}{100}\\&#10;t=\textit{elapsed time}\to &3\\&#10;\end{cases}&#10;\\\\\\&#10;40=2(1+r)^3\implies 20=(1+r)^3\implies \sqrt[3]{20}=1+r&#10;\\\\\\&#10;\sqrt[3]{20}-1=r\implies 1.7\approx r\qquad \boxed{A=2(2.7)^t}

how many folks are there sick by t = 6?   \bf \stackrel{that~many}{A=2(2.7)^6}

suter [353]
Sets of three integers that could be right triangles are called pythagorean triples. the only pythagorean triple including 7 is 7, 24, and 25. so the length of the other leg is 24 and the length of the hypotenuse is 25. hope this helped!
