slavikrds [6]4 years ago

7 0

Answer: There is one solution to the given equation.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the number of solutions to the following equation :

$12x+6=5x~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Since the given equation is linear in one variable x, so it will have only one solution.

The solution of equation (i) is given by

$12x+6=5x\\\\\Rightarrow 12x-5x=-6\\\\\Rightarrow 7x=-6\\\\\Rightarrow x=-\dfrac{6}{7}.$

Thus, there is one solution to the given equation.

Ann [662]

The best measure of center for a set of data is the median value.

To find the median list the values from

Smallest to largest:

0, 0, 1, 1, 2,2, 2, 14

Since there is an even number of values, find the middle two numbers, add them together and divide by 2:

1+2 = 3

3/2 = 1.5

The answer is median 1.5

A scuba diver is 31 feet below the surface of the water. She dives down an additional 16 feet. How far would she have to rise to

Karolina [17]

Answer: 47 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Originally the scuba driver was 31 feet below the surface of the water.

She then dives down a further 16 feet. The depth below the surface is now:

= 31 + 16

= 47 feet

The Scuba driver is now 47 feet below the surface of the water so if she had to come back to the surface, she would have to rise that 47 feet to get to the surface.

A rectangle has a perimeter of 103.6 inches and a base of 39 inches. What is the height?

rusak2 [61]

Answer:

12.8 IN.

Step-by-step explanation:

So, what exactly is perimeter?

Perimeter= 2L+ 2W

In this question we were given the length.ie.Base and the perimeter itself.

●Length is 39 In.

●Perimeter is 103.6 In.

●We don't know the width.

But, as per given the question, we know that;

1 length = 39 In.

2 lengths= 78 In.

Now that we know the total length we can find the total width.

See as follows,

103.6 - 78= 25.6

2 widths= 25.6

1 width= 25.6÷2

=12.8 In

Which equation is the equation of a line that passes through -10 ,3 and is a perpendicular to Y equals 5X -7

laiz [17]

The slope perpendicular to the one given is the opposite reciprocal. So the slope of the "new" line will be -1/5. Using y = mx + b and filling in 3 for y, -10 for x and the slope, m, of -1/5 will help you solve for b. Then use that b to write the new equation. 3= -1/5(-10) + b and b = 1. Your equation, then, is y = -1/5x + 1
