Answer: the answer is 7.
Step-by-step explanation:
you take 12, divide it by 3 to get 4, then you add 3 to get 7.
Answer:
w is 10 and l is 5
Step-by-step explanation:
l=w-5
lw=50
w^2-5w-50=(w-10)(w+5) since the negative solution does not make sense w=10 and therefore l is 5 so the length is 5 while the width is 10
Option b is the better deal
Let x and y be the 2 parts of 15 ==> x + y=15 (given)
Reciprocal of x and y ==> 1/x +1/y ==> 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 (given)
Let's solve 1/x + 1/y = 3/10 . Common denominator = 10.x.y (reduce to same denominator)
==> (10y+10x)/10xy = 3xy/10xy ==> 10x+10y =3xy
But x+y = 15 , then 10x+10y =150 ==> 150=3xy and xy = 50
Now we have the sum S of the 2 parts that is S = 15 and
their Product = xy =50
Let's use the quadratic equation for S and P==> X² -SX +P =0
Or X² - 15X + 50=0, Solve for X & you will find:
The 1st part of 15 is 10 & the 2nd part is 5
Answer:
n= -9
Step-by-step explanation:
Simplifying
-2(n + 3) + -4 = 8
Reorder the terms:
-2(3 + n) + -4 = 8
(3 * -2 + n * -2) + -4 = 8
(-6 + -2n) + -4 = 8
Reorder the terms:
-6 + -4 + -2n = 8
Combine like terms: -6 + -4 = -10
-10 + -2n = 8
Solving
-10 + -2n = 8
Solving for variable 'n'.
Move all terms containing n to the left, all other terms to the right.
Add '10' to each side of the equation.
-10 + 10 + -2n = 8 + 10
Combine like terms: -10 + 10 = 0
0 + -2n = 8 + 10
-2n = 8 + 10
Combine like terms: 8 + 10 = 18
-2n = 18
Divide each side by '-2'.
n = -9
Simplifying
n = -9
