Answer:

x = -10

General Formulas and Concepts:

Pre-Algebra

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define equation

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

Step 2: Solve for x

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

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x: 4.5(8 - -10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3(-10) + 24)
Simplify: 4.5(8 + 10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(3(-10) + 24)
Multiply: 4.5(8 + 10) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(-30 + 24)
Add: 4.5(18) + 36 = 102 - 2.5(-6)
Multiply: 81 + 36 = 102 + 15
Add: 117 = 117

Here we see that 117 does indeed equal to 117.

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

You need a 50% solution. On hand, you have a 200 mL of a 35% alcohol mixture. You also have 70% alcohol mixture. How much of the

CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

150 mL

Step-by-step explanation:

We need a mixture that is at 50%, now we have 200 mL at 35% and another mixture that is at 70%, that is, we must calculate how much of this mixture is added, by the following equation

200 * 35% + x * 70% = 50% (x + 200)

70 + 0.7 * x = 0.5 * x + 100

0.7 * x - 0.5 * x = 100 - 70

0.2 * x = 30

x = 30 / 0.2

x = 150

150 mL must be added so that the mixture is 50%.

Match each output to its input for the function. Let f(x) = −2x + 3 f(0) f(−32) f(10) f(−17) and the choices are 3,-17,37,6

Andru [333]

Answer:

Below

Step-by-step explanation:

● f(x) = -2x + 3

● f (0) = -2 (0) +3 = 3

● f(-32) = -2(-32)+3 = 64 + 3 = 67

● f(10) = -2(10) +3 = -20 + 3 = -17

● f(-17) = -2(-17) + 3 = 34 + 3 = 37

● f(10) => -17

● f(-17) => 37

-|2-5| _________ (8-11) compare using < , > or =

Zolol [24]

Here is your answer

REASON:

On solving the given two terms

-|2-5|= -|-3|

= -3 (since |-3|=3)

and,

(8-11)

= -3

Hence,

-|2-5|  = (8-11)
