Answer:

x = -10

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Pre-Algebra</u>

  • Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
  • Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

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

4.5(8 - x) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3x + 24)

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

  1. Distribute:                                   36 - 4.5x + 36 = 102 - 7.5x - 60
  2. Combine like terms:                   -4.5x + 72 = -7.5x + 42
  3. Add 7.5x on both sides:             3x + 72 = 42
  4. Subtract 72 on both sides:        3x = -30
  5. Divide 3 on both sides:              x = -10

<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>:                    4.5(8 - -10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3(-10) + 24)
  2. Simplify:                               4.5(8 + 10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3(-10) + 24)
  3. Multiply:                               4.5(8 + 10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(-30 + 24)
  4. Add:                                     4.5(18) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(-6)
  5. Multiply:                               81 + 36 = 102 + 15
  6. Add:                                     117 = 117

Here we see that 117 does indeed equal to 117.

∴ x = -10 is a solution of the equation.

Which transformations are needed to change the parent some function to the sine function below?
Harrizon [31]
Beginning with the function y = sin x, which would have range from -1 to 1 and period of 2pi:
Vertical compression of 1/2 compresses the range from -1/2 to 1/2
Phase shift of pi/2 to the left
Horizontal stretch to a period of 4pi, as the crests are at -4pi, 0, 4pi
Vertical shift of 1 unit up moves the range to 1/2 to 3/2
So the first choice looks like a good answer.

Help? 5/12 + 5/8 <br><br> (spam cause i need 20 characters)
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

1 1/24

Step-by-step explanation:

5/12 + 5/8

We need a common denominator of 24

Convert the first number to have a denominator of 24

5/12 *2/2 = 10/24

Convert the second number to have a denominator of 24

5/8*3/3 = 15/24

Add the two converted numbers together

10/24 + 15/24

25/24

Change from an improper fraction to a mixed number

24/24 + 1/24

1 1/24

Madeline uses 58 beads to make a necklace she plans to sell 36 necklaces at each craft fair she goes to the summer she plans to
g100num [7]
<h3>♫ :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: // Hello There ! //  :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: ♫</h3>

➷  Multiply the number of beads per necklace by the number of necklaces:

58 x 36 = 2088

This is the number of beads needed per each craft fair.

Multiply this value by 4 to get the final value:

2088 x 4 = 8352.

She will need 8352 beads.
