Five times the quantity s + 6 equals 3 times the quantity s - 2. What value of s makes this sentence true?

Mathematics
1 answer:
slava [35]3 years ago
6 0
5(s + 6)= 3(s - 2)
multiply 5 and 3 by their parentheses

5s + 30= 3s - 6
subtract 3s from both sides

2s + 30= -6
subtract 30 from both sides

2s= -36
divide both sides by 2

s= -18


CHECK:
5(s + 6)= 3(s - 2)
5(-18 + 6)= 3(-18 - 2)
5(-12)= 3(-20)
-60= -60


ANSWER: The value of s that makes the statement true is -18.

Hope this helps! :)

A section of a boardwalk is made using 15 boards. Each board is 914914 inches wide. The total width of the section is 144 inches
xeze [42]


<span><span>15 times 9.25 = 138.75 inches.
That leaves

144-138.75 = 5.25 inches for spaces. 
Between the 15 boards are just 14 spaces, however.
So divide 5.25 by 14 and get
3/8" for each space.</span>
<span>Answer by </span>Cromlix(4300)   (Show Source):You can put this solution on YOUR website!
<span>Hi there,
14 boards each 9 1/4 inches wide.
14 x 9 1/4 = 138 3/4 inches
144 inches - 138 3/4 inches

= 5 1/4 inches
Spaces between 14 boards
= 13 spaces.
5 1/4 / 13 = 2/5 of an inch.
Hope this helps. :-)</span></span>

What are the rational and irrational number give examples!
bonufazy [111]
<h2>Recurring decimals such as 0.26262626…, all integers and all finite decimals, such as 0.241, are also rational numbers. Alternatively, an irrational number is any number that is not rational. ... For example, the square root of 2 is an irrational number because it cannot be written as a ratio of two integers.</h2><h2>Worked Examples </h2><h2>1 - recognize Surds </h2><h2>A surd is a square root which cannot be reduced to a whole number. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>For example, </h2><h2> </h2><h2>4–√=2 </h2><h2>is not a surd, because the answer is a whole number. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>Alternatively </h2><h2> </h2><h2>5–√ </h2><h2>is a surd because the answer is not a whole number. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>You could use a calculator to find that </h2><h2> </h2><h2>5–√=2.236067977... </h2><h2>but instead of this we often leave our answers in the square root form, as a surd. </h2><h2> </h2><h2>2 - Simplifying Surds </h2><h2>During your exam, you will be asked to simplify expressions which include surds.
