Solve and find X. Question says 5-x / 2 = 2x-7

Mathematics
2 answers:
poizon [28]3 years ago

Answer:

x = 3.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is (5 - x) / 2 = 2x - 7

Multiply both sides by 2:

5 - x = 4x - 14

Add 14 to both sides:

19 - x = 4x

Add x to both sides:

19 = 5x

Divide both sides by 5 to isolate x:

3.8 = x

Therefore, x = 3.8.

What is the area of the largest rectangle with lower base on the x-axis and upper vertices on the curve y = 12 - x2? (4 points)
wolverine [178]

Answer: 16 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

let the vertex in quadrant I be (x,y)  

then the vertex in quadratnt II is (-x,y)  

base of the rectangle = 2x  

height of the rectangle = y  

Area = xy  

= x(12 - x²)  

= -x³ + 12x  

d(area)/dx = 3x² - 12 = 0 for a maximum of area  

3x² = 12  

x² = 4  

x = ±2  

y = 12-4 = 8

So, the largest area = 2 x 8 = 16 square units

On Monday a Farmer sold 25196 pounds of potatoes on tuesday he sold 18023pounds on Wednesday he sold some more potatoes in all h
arlik [135]

Answer:

<em>estimated sales on Wednesday is 19000 pounds.</em>

<em></em>

Step-by-step explanation:

On Monday, he sold 25196 pounds. Estimated to the nearest thousand that is 25000 pounds.

On Tuesday, he sold 18023 pounds. Estimated to the nearest thousand, that is 18000 pounds

Wednesday's sales is unknown. We designate as x

All in all he sold 62409. Estimated to the nearest thousand, that is 62000

The sales on Monday, plus sales on  Tuesday, plus sales on Wednesday, must all sum up to the total sales.

25000 + 18000 + x = 62000

43000 + x = 62000

x = 62000 - 43000 = 19000

therefore <em>estimated sales on Wednesday is 19000 pounds.</em>

Out of 230 students, 11% chose gymnastics as their favorite sport. How many students does 11% represent? *
joja [24]

Answer:

25

Step-by-step explanation:

11\% \: of \: 230 \\  \\  =  \frac{11}{100}  \times 230 \\  \\  = 0.11 \times 230 \\  \\  = 25.3 \\   = 25

Hence 11% represents 25 students.

What is the approximate perimeter of a semicircle with a radius of 8 m? Use pi star times = 3.14. Express your final answer to t
irga5000 [103]
The perimeter of a semicircle consists of two parts. (the curve and bottom)
That curve is half the distance around the circle, since it's been split in half.
The distance around a circle, the circumfrence, is equal to 2πr, where r is the radius of that circle. In this case, the circumfrence of the entire circle would be 16π. and so that curve would have a length of just 8π.
Using 3.14 for π, 8π = 8×3.14 = 25.12.
As for the flat part, that is the diameter (distance across) our circle.
The radius is the distance from the center of a circle to its edge, and always has half the length of the diameter. (you can break the diameter down into two radii)
If our radius is 8 meters, our diameter (the flat part of that semicircle) must be 16.
Now we add up the two parts of the perimeter...25.12 + 16 = 41.12.
