Answer:
2
Step-by-step explanation:
This implies
x+2=4
and
-(x+2)=-4.
x+2=4 implies x=2 since subtract 2 on both sides gives us x=2.
Solving -(x+2)=-4 should give us the same value.
Multiply both sides by -1:
x+2=4
It is the same equation as the other.
You will get x=2 either way.
Let's check:
Put both sides into your calculator and see if you get the same thing on both sides:
Left hand side gives 256/81.
Right hand side gives 256/81.
Both side are indeed the same for x=2.
Answer:
The answer is D
Step-by-step explanation:
the y is +10
slope is -1/3
What 2 # multiplied together make 28,
7x4
2x14 out of these which one has one side 3ft. more? 7x4
Step 1: Find the slope.
Step 2: Find the value of b.
Step 3: Get the y=mx+b
With amounts measured in gallons, let
x = amount of 65% antifreeze
y = amount of 90% antifreeze
1 gal of the 65% brand contains 0.65 gal of pure antifreeze; x gal would contain 0.65x gal. Similarly, y gal of the 90% brand contains 0.90y gal of pure antifreeze.
To obtain 120 gal of 80% antifreeze solution (which contains 0.80•120 = 96 gal of pure antifreeze), we must have
x + y = 120 … … … … … [total volume of antifreeze solution]
0.65x + 0.90y = 96 … [total volume of pure antifreeze]
Solve the first equation for y :
y = 120 - x
Substitute this into the second equation and solve for x :
0.65x + 0.90 (120 - x) = 96
0.65x + 108 - 0.90x = 96
0.25x = 12
x = 48
Solve for y :
y = 120 - 48
y = 72
