If 4/5 part of a pole is in mud,3/10 part is in water and 9m is in air,find the total length of pole?

How would I start to solve number 15? Would I use distributive property?

natita [175]

$-5-x=2x-(4x+6)$

Using the distributive property is the correct first step. $(4x+6)$ is being multiplied by -1, so distributing gives

$-5-x=2x+(-4x-6)$
$-5-x=2x+((-4x)+(-6))$

Now, using the associative property of addition, you get

$-5-x=(2x+(-4x))+(-6)$
$-5-x=(2x-4x)-6$

Simplify the right hand side:

$-5-x=-2x-6$

Add 5 and $2x$ to both sides.

$(2x+5)-5-x=(2x+5)-2x-6$

On the left side, use the associative property. On the right, commutativity and associativity:

$2x+(5-5)-x=5+(2x-2x)-6$

Simplify.

$2x-x=-1$
$x=-1$

---- PLEASE HELP <3 .. with steps :( <3

Zielflug [23.3K]

1) 6, 18, 54

2) 5/3, 14/9, 41/27

3) 1.5, 2.5, 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

1)

The function that we have in this problem is

$g(x)=3x$

We want to find the first 3 iterations.

The initial value is:

x = 2

To find the value of the 1st iteration, we just substitute this value into the expression of the function, and we get:

$g_1(x)=3x=3\cdot 2 = 6$

The to find the value of the 2nd iteration, we just substitute this value into the expression of the function, and we get:

$g_2(x)=3\cdot g_1(x)=3\cdot 6 = 18$

Finally, the 3rd iteraction is given by:

$g_3(x)=3g_2(x)=3\cdot 18=54$

2)

Here in this problem the function that we have to use is

$g(x)=\frac{1}{3}x+1$

The initial value is

$x=2$

So the first iteration is given by

$g_1(x)=\frac{1}{3}\cdot 2 + 1 = \frac{5}{3}$

To find the 2nd iteration, we substitute this value into g(x) again:

$g_2(x)=\frac{1}{3}g_1+1=\frac{1}{3}\cdot \frac{5}{3}+1=\frac{5}{9}+1=\frac{14}{9}$

Finally, to find the 3rd iteration, we substitute this value into g(x) again:

$g_3(x)=\frac{1}{3}\cdot \frac{14}{9}+1=\frac{14}{27}+1=\frac{41}{27}$

3)

The function in this problem is

$g(x)=-|x-2|+3$

The initial value is

x = 0.5

So, the first iteration is:

$g_1(x)=-1|0.5-2|+3=-1|-1.5|+3=-1\cdot 1.5 +3=-1.5+3=1.5$

The second iteration is given by

$g_2(x)=-|g_1-2|+3=-|1.5-2|+3=--0.5+3=2.5$

Finally, the 3rd iteration is

$g_3(x)=-|g_2-2|+3=-|2.5-2|+3=-0.5+3=2.5$

One card is selected at random from a deck of card. Determine the probability that the card selected is not a 4

Ganezh [65]

Answer:

12/13

Step-by-step explanation:

A probability is the number of desired outcomes over the total number of outcomes.

Assuming that this is a standard deck of playing cards, there will be 52 cards, and there will be 4 "4" cards.

First, find the number of desired outcomes, and put it over the total number of outcomes.

Out of the total number of outcomes (52), there are 4 outcomes that are not wanted, hence the equation is:

52 - 4 = 48

So out of the 52 possible outcomes, 48 are desired. Set up the fraction and

simplify:

48/52

/4 /4

= 12/13

Please help, having a hard time

rosijanka [135]

Answer:

The balcony seat costs $9, the orchestra seat costs $9 + $6 = $15.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x is the cost/price of one balcony seat, in dollars.

Then the cost of one orchestra seat is (x+6) dollars, according to the condtion.

The total cost of tickets is

250x + 400*(x+6) = 8250.

Simplify it step by step.

250x + 400x + 2400 = 8250,

650x = 8250 - 2400 = 5850 ====> x = 5850/650 = 9.

Answer. The balcony seat costs $9, the orchestra seat costs $9 + $6 = $15.

Check. 9*250 + 15*400 = 8250. Correct.
