<h2>The value of x = - $\dfrac{10}{3}$ </h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The given expressiona are:

$\dfrac{2}{3x+2}$ and $\dfrac{4}{3x-6}$

To find, the value of x = ?

∴ $\dfrac{2}{3x+2}=\dfrac{4}{3x-6}$

By crossmultiplication, we get

4(3x + 2) = 2(3x - 6)

⇒ 12x + 8 = 6x - 12

⇒ 12x - 6x = - 12 - 8

⇒ 6x = - 20

⇒ 3x = - 10

⇒ x = - $\dfrac{10}{3}$

∴ The value of x = - $\dfrac{10}{3}$

Thus, the value of x is equal to - $\dfrac{10}{3}$ .

The difference of two numbers is 42. the larger number is three less than six times the smaller number. find the numbers.

IgorLugansk [536]

X and y are the numbers
x>y

diffference is 42
x-y=42

larger is 3 less than 6 times smaller
x=-3+6y

subsitute -3+6y for x

x-y=42
-3+6y-y=42
-3+5y=42
add3 to both sides
5y=45
divide both sides by 5
y=9

sub back

x=-3+6y
x=-3+6(9)
x=-3+54
x=51

the numbers are 51 and 9

Which of the following shows the factors of 5x2 + 17x + 6? A. (5x + 1)(x + 6) B. (5x + 2)(x + 3) C. (5x + 3)(x + 2) D. (5x + 6)(

zysi [14]

Answer:

B. $(x+3)(5x+2)$

Step-by-step explanation:

The given quadratic trinomial is;

$5x^2+17x+6$

Comparing this to $ax^2+bx+c$ , we have a=5,b=17,c=6.

$ac=5\times6=30$

Two factors of 30 that add up to 17 is 15 and 2.

We split the middle term to obtain;

$5x^2+15x+2x+6$

We factor by grouping;

$5x(x+3)+2(x+3)$

Factor further

$(x+3)(5x+2)$

The correct answer is B.

Consider the given function and the given interval. f$x$ = (x - 7)**2 text(, ) [5 text(, ) 11] (a) Find the average value fave

Jet001 [13]

a. $f$ has an average value on [5, 11] of

$f_{\rm ave}=\displaystyle\frac1{11-5}\int_5^{11}(x-7)^2\,\mathrm dx=\frac{(x-7)^3}{18}\bigg|_5^{11}=\frac{4^3-(-2)^3}{18}=4$

b. The mean value theorem guarantees the existence of $c\in(5,11)$ such that $f(c)=f_{\rm ave}$ . This happens for

$(c-7)^2=4\implies c-7=\pm2\implies c=9\text{ or }c=5$

Select all that apply. Which of the following are proportions? 25/10=5/2,3/4=8/10,2/8=3/12,3/4=15/20

8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

$\frac{25}{10} = \frac{5}{2}$ is in proportion.

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{10}$ is not in proportion.

$\frac{2}{8} = \frac{3}{12}$ is in proportion.

$\frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{20}$ is in proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

The first example is $\frac{25}{10} = \frac{5}{2}$ and it is in proportion.

This is because, you will get the same simplest fraction ( $\frac{5}{2}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{25}{10}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 5.

The second example is $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{8}{10}$ and it is not in proportion.

This is because, you can not get the simplest fraction ( $\frac{3}{4}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{8}{10}$ after simplification.

The third example is $\frac{2}{8} = \frac{3}{12}$ and it is in proportion.

This is because, you will get the same simplest fraction ( $\frac{1}{4}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{2}{8}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 2 and from the fraction $\frac{3}{12}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 3.

The fourth example is $\frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{20}$ and it is in proportion.

This is because, you will get the same simplest fraction ( $\frac{3}{4}$ ) from the fraction $\frac{15}{20}$ by dividing its numerator and denominator by 5. (Answer)
