Answer:

MZ =2x - 4


Step-by-step explanation:

YM = x +3

YZ = 3x -1

YZ =YM +MZ

3x - 1  =  x +3 +MZ

MZ = 3x -1  - [x+3]

MZ =  3x -1 -x -3

MZ = 2x -4

Assign two variables for each problem, and write the equations. Do not solve.
Xelga [282]
Call the number of trumpet players "T" and the number of horn players "H".

We can use the given information to set up equations:

1."<span>the number of trumpet players is 4 times the number of French horn players"
T=4H

2. "</span><span>There are 35 trumpet and French horn players in the band."
T+H=35

If you were asked to solve you could now do it by substitution:
4H+H=35
5H=35
H=7
T=4H
T=4(7)
T=28</span>

Solve the equation. –3x + 9 = –3(2x + 3) + 3(x – 4) + 1 How many solutions does this equation have? one solution two solutions i
gavmur [86]

-3x+9 = -3(2x+3) + 3(x-4)+1

distribute

-3x+9 =-6x-9+3x-12+1

add like terms

-3x+9= -3x-20

add 3x to each side

9 = -20

there are no solutions because 9 does not equal -20

According to u.s. postal regulations, the girth plus the length of a parcel sent by mail may not exceed 108 inches, where by "gi
Pepsi [2]
Let x represent the side length of the square end, and let d represent the dimension that is the sum of length and girth. Then the volume V is given by
  V = x²(d -4x)
Volume will be maximized when the derivative of V is zero.
  dV/dx = 0 = -12x² +2dx
  0 = -2x(6x -d)
This has solutions
  x = 0, x = d/6

a) The largest possible volume is
  (d/6)²(d -4d/6) = 2(d/6)³
  = 2(108 in/6)³ = 11,664 in³

b) The dimensions of the package with largest volume are
  d/6 = 18 inches square by
  d -4d/6 = d/3 = 36 inches long
