Answer:

the equation is x + 2x + 2x + 7 = 327

or 5x + 7 = 327

x = 64

Trisha has 135 votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jill has x votes.

If Morgan got twice as many votes as Jill, then Morgan has

2 times the number of votes

or 2x

Trisha won the election with 7 more votes than Morgan's, so we add 7 to this amount

2x + 7

So assuming Jill, Morgan, and Trisha are the only three candidates:

then x + 2x + 2x + 7 = 327

Combine like terms

5x + 7 = 327

Subtract 7 from both sides

5x = 320

x = 64

Check answer for x:

64 + 2(64) + 2(64) + 7 = 64 + 128 + 128 + 7 = 327

So Trisha has

2x + 7 = 2(64) + 7 = 128 + 7 = 135 votes

All zeros of polynomial function 3x^4 +14x^2 -5
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Correct answer:  x₁ = 1 / √3 = √3 / 3  or  x₂ = - 1 / √3 = - √3 / 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

3 x⁴ + 14 x² - 5 = 0   biquadratic equation

this equation is solved by a shift  x² = t and get:

3 t² + 14 t - 5 = 0

t₁₂ = (-14 ± √14² - 4 · 3 · 5) / 2 · 3 = (-14 ± √196 + 60) / 6

t₁₂ = (-14 ± √256) / 6 = (-14 ± 16) / 6

t₁ = -5   or  t₂ = 1 / 3

the solution t₁ = -5 is not accepted because it cannot be x² = -5

we accepted  t₂ = 1 / 3

x² =  1 / 3  ⇒  

x₁ = 1 / √3 = √3 / 3  or  x₂ = - 1 / √3 = - √3 / 3

Finding angle measure using triangles ​
Rainbow [258]

x = 58°

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to the diagram, lines HI and JK are parallel to each other.

∠AHI = 60°

∠JKI = 62°

∠JKI and ∠HIA are equal because when two lines are parallel then the corresponding angles are equal.

So,

∠JKI = ∠HIA = 62°

In ΔHIA,

∠AHI + ∠HIA + ∠IAH = 180°

60° + 62°+ x = 180°

122° + x = 180°

x = 180° - 122°

x = 58°
