ANS

$15600 worth of explosives.

$3000 = $400x

$3000 - 400 ( 1/6x )

$\\ = ( \frac{1}{6} x)$

= $2600

$\\ = ( \frac{1}{6} x)$

= $

$\\ \frac{2600}{ \frac{1}{6} } = x$

$x = 15600$

Thank You !!!!

Find two consecutive even numbers such that the difference of one-half the larger and two-fifths the smaller is equal to 38

expeople1 [14]

EXPLANATION

The consecutive even numbers are
$370 \: and \: 372$

EXPLANATION

Let
$x$
be the first even number then, the next even number will be,

$x + 2$

The difference of one-half the larger one and two-fifth the smaller one is 38 gives the equation,

$\frac{1}{2} (x + 2) - \frac{2}{5} x = 38$

We multiply through with an LCM of 10 to get,

$10 \times \frac{1}{2} (x + 2) - 10 \times \frac{2}{5} x = 38 \times 10$

This simplifies to,

$5(x + 2) - 4x = 380$

We expand the brackets to get,

$5x + 10 - 4x = 380$

We group like terms to get,

$5x - 4x = 380 - 10$

This simplifies to
$x = 370$

Therefore the next even number is is
$372$

What is 5% of 220? Show work please

luda_lava [24]

It is easier (for me anyway) to find 10% then work around that.
Following that path would mean that, by making a table:

100% = 220
10% = 22
5% (Which is half the 10) = 11

Solve the equation: 2x^2 + 3x = 2

Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

x = -2 or x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

First get the eq in standard form, which means:

x² should not have that 2 in front of it

move the other 2 to the left

so first let's divide by 2:

x² + 3/2 x = 1

now move the 1 to the left

x² + 3/2 x - 1 = 0

now look for two numbers that, when multiplied, give -1, and when added, give 3/2. This is a bit of trial-and-error if you want to solve in this way.

The numbers are 2 and -1/2, since 2*-1/2 = -1, and 2 - 1/2 = 3/2

The factorization thus is:

x² + 3/2 x - 1 = (x+2)(x-1/2) = 0

Either factor (x+2) or (x-1/2) can be zero to solve the solution, hence x = -2 or x = 1/2

Jules reads that one pint is equivalent to 0.473 liters.he asks his teacher how many liters there are in a pint.His teacher resp

Ierofanga [76]

The key word here that you see is "about". Which means it is close but not exact. So when his teacher said that a liter is about .473 and his parents said it was "about" .5, you were rounding or estimating. .473, rounded to the nearest tenths is .5. Because "73" in .473 is closer to .5 or .500 than it is to .4 or .400.
