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

Mathematics

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! :)

Let's divide the shaded region into two areas:

area 1: x = 0 ---> x = 2

ares 2: x = 2 ---> x = 4

In area 1, we need to find the area under g(x) = x and in area 2, we need to find the area between g(x) = x and f(x) = (x - 2)^2. Now let's set up the integrals needed to find the areas.

Area 1:

A\frac{}{1}  = ∫g(x)dx =  ∫xdx =  \frac{1}{2}  {x}^{2}  | \frac{2}{0}  = 2

Area 2:

A\frac{}{2}  = ∫(g(x) - f(x))dx

= ∫(x -  {(x - 2)}^{2} )dx

=  ∫( - {x}^{2}  + 5x - 4)dx

= ( - \frac{1}{3}{x}^{3} +   \frac{5}{2} {x}^{2}  - 4x)   | \frac{4}{2}

= 2.67 - ( - 0.67) = 3.34

Therefore, the area of the shaded portion of the graph is

A = A1 + A2 = 5.34

Answer:

1.50x=18

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to divide 1.50 on both sides and 1.50x/1.50= x and 18/1.50=12 so x=12
