Answer:

distribute parenthesis

Step-by-step explanation:

6(2x + 1) = 4x - 5 ← distribute parenthesis on left side

12x + 6 = 4x - 5 ( subtract 4x from both sides )

8x + 6 = - 5 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

8x = - 11 ( divide both sides by 8 )

x = - \frac{11}{8}

If you have a spinner with 5 slots, what is the compound probability of spinning an even number, then an odd number? Expressed a
Minchanka [31]

Since the spinner has 5 slots it contains 3 odd and 2 evens,

  • Odds ⇒ 1, 3, 5
  • Evens⇒ 2,4

this can be expressed as

\frac{2}{5} =\frac{x}{100}, cross multiply and we get

5x=200

x=40%

Jill has $1.25 in her pocket. The money is in quarters and dimes. There are a total of 8 coins. How many quarters and dimes does
erica [24]

Answer:

  • 3 quarters
  • 5 dimes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let q represent the number of quarters (the higher-value coin). Then 8-q is the number of dimes, and Jill's total amount in change is ...

  0.25q +0.10(8-q) = 1.25

  0.15q + 0.80 = 1.25 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  0.15q = 0.45 . . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 0.80

  q = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 0.15

  the number of dimes is 8-q = 8-3 = 5.

Jill has 3 quarters and 5 dimes.

While in flight, a hot air balloon decreases its elevation by 83 2/5 meters and then increases its elevation by 83.7 meters
Pachacha [2.7K]

An inequality which compares the changes in elevation of this hot air balloon while in flight is given by L - 83 2/5 ≤ L ≤ L + 83.7.

<h3>What is an elevation?</h3>

An elevation is also referred to as an altitude and it can be defined as the vertical distance (height) above a natural satellite or the surface of planet Earth such as land or sea level.

This ultimately implies that, an elevation (altitude) simply refers to the vertical height (elevation) of an object or physical body above a particular location or planetary reference plane such as land or sea level on planet Earth.

<h3>What is an inequality?</h3>

An inequality can be defined as a mathematical relation that compares two (2) or more integers and variables in an equation based on any of the following arguments (symbols):

  • Less than (<).
  • Greater than (>).
  • Less than or equal to (≤).
  • Greater than or equal to (≥).

For this exercise, let the variable L represent the initial height of this balloon. Also, since the hot air balloon decreased its elevation by 83 2/5 and increases its elevation by 83.7 meters, we have the following:

  • The lower limit is equal to: L - 83 2/5.
  • The upper limit is equal to: L + 83.7.

In this context, an inequality which models the changes in elevation of this hot air balloon is L - 83 2/5 ≤ L ≤ L + 83.7.
