Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 5/2

x = -2

Which equation has no solution?
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer: D. 3y + 5 − 7y = 4(-y + 1) + 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Original equation:

3y + 5 - 7y = 4(-y+1) + 5

Group like terms on the left of the equal sign and distribute on the right side of equal sign:

-4y + 5 = (-4y +4) + 5

Simplify:

-4y + 5 = -4y +9

Subtract 5 from both sides:

-4y = -4y + 4

Add 4y to both sides:

0 = 4

0 CANNOT equal 4 therefore, this equation has no solution.

Remember the Peach Orchard at the Amusement Park? You are trying to conserve water, including the water used to irrigate the orc
irinina [24]

We are given that:

t = time required for Sprinkler System A

t + 4 = time required for Sprinkler System B

 

Hence the rates are:

1 / t = rate for Sprinkler System A

1 / (t + 4) = rate for Sprinkler System B

 

The overall equation is:

1 / t  + 1 / (t + 4) = 1 / 1.5

 

Solving for t by multiplying everything by t*(t + 4):

t + 4 + t = (1 / 1.5) (t) (t + 4)

3 t + 6 = t^2 + 4 t

t^2 + t = 6

Completing the square:

t^2 + t + 0.25 = 6 + 0.25

(t + 0.5)^2 = 6.25

t = -0.5 ± 2.5

t = -3, 2

 

Since time cannot be negative, therefore:

t = 2 hours

t + 4 = 6 hours

 

Alone, Sprinkler System A takes 2 hours while Sprinkler System B takes 6 hours.

If H= 2f over m+1, solve the equation for f
Viefleur [7K]
H = 2f / (m+1)
[multiply by (m+1)]
h(m+1) = 2f
[divide by 2]
f = (h (m + 1)) / 2

3b / (b+2) = 12 / (b+2)
[multiply by (b+2)]
3b = 12
[divide by 3]
b = 4

3 / (6x + 1) / 2 = 8 / (x + 4) / 3
[multiply both denominators to mike one denominator]
3 / 8(6x+1) = 8 / 3(x+4)
[expand brackets]
3 / (48x + 8) = 8 / (3x + 12)
[multiply by (48x + 8)]
3 = 8(48x + 8) / (3x+12)
[multiply by (3x+12)]
3(3x +12) = 4(48x + 8)
[simplify]
9x + 36 = 192x + 32
173x = 4
x = 4 / 173
