1/2x - 5 = 10 - 3/4x Please show work !

Mathematics
1 answer:
marin [14]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x=\frac{1}{12}

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2x - 5 = 10 - 3/4x

4x/2x - 5 × 4x = 10 × 4x - \frac{3 x 4x}{4x}

2 -5 × 4x = 10 × 4 - 3

2 - 20x = 40x - 3

-20x - 40x = -3 - 2

-60x = -3 - 2

-60x = -5

x = \frac{-5}{-60}

x = \frac{1}{12}

Which of the following quadratic equations has no real solutions?
Virty [35]

Answer:

C. 3x^2 + 2x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A. 12^2 - (4*3*12) = 0 (there's one solution.)

B. (-3)^2 - (4*3*-18) = 255 (there're 2 real solutions.)

D. 3^2 - (4*0*-3) = 9 (there're 2 real solutions.)

C. 2^2 - (4*3*1) = -18 ✅✅

if b^2 - 4ac = negative then we can say that there isn't any real solution for the equation.

There is a 0.9989 probability that a randomly selected 33-year-old make lives through the year. A life insurance company charges
s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

$-107

Step-by-step explanation:

From the problem we know the probability of randomly selecting a person alive throughout the year: 0.9989

Now, the probability that a person does NOT live would be the complement, that is:

1 - 0.9989 = 0.0011

Now to know the real value of the policy, we must first subtract what he paid for it, that is:

80000 - 195 = $ 79805

Now, to know what the value waiting for that person would be the subtraction of the real value that will be gained by the probability of not living, less what the policy payment for the probability of surviving, thus:

0.0011 * 79805 - 0.9989 * 195 = -107

Which means this man is actually losing $ 107

the scale on a map is 1 : 15000 how many kilometers on the ground would be represented by 12 cm on the map?
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

1.8 km

Step-by-step explanation:

The scale on the map is 1 : 15000.

This means that every 1 cm on the map is equal to 15000 cm on the ground.

12 cm on the map will therefore be:

12 * 15000 = 180000 cm

Let us convert to kilometres:

100000 cm = 1 km

180000 cm = 180000 / 100000 = 1.8 km

12 cm on the map will be 1.8 km on the ground.
