Answer:

A. 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The triangle will be a right triangle when the side lengths satisfy the Pythagorean theorem: the sum of the squares of the legs is equal to the square of the hypotenuse.

(x +1)^2 +x^2 = (√61)^2

x^2 +2x +1 +x^2 = 61 . . . eliminate parentheses

2x^2 +2x = 60 . . . . . . .subtract 1, collect terms

x^2 +x -30 = 0 . . . . . divide by 2, subtract 30

(x +6)(x -5) = 0 . . . . factor the quadratic

x = -6 or +5

The solution is x = 5.

_____

Side lengths cannot be negative. Solution values are values of x that make the factors zero. x+6=0 when x=-6, for example.

$3 {}^{4x - 5} = ( \frac{1}{27} ) {}^{2x + 10} \\ note \: \: that = \\ ( \frac{1}{27} ) = ( \frac{1}{3 {}^{3} } ) = 3 {}^{ - 3} \\ \\ 3 {}^{4x - 5} = (3 {}^{ - 3} ) {}^{2x + 10} \\ 3 {}^{4x + 5} = 3 {}^{ - 3(2x + 10)} \\ equal \: \: bases = > equal \: exponents$

$4x - 5 = - 3(2x + 10) \\ 4x - 5 = - 6x - 30 \\ 4x + 6x = - 30 + 5 \\ 10x = - 25 \\ x = - 2.5$

At Elisa's printing company, there are two kinds of printing presses: Model A, which can print 70 books/ day, and model B, which

Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

9 Model As.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A represent Press A and let B represent Press B.

So, they own 14 total presses. This means that:

$A+B=14$

They can print 905 books per day, in other words, since A prints 70 per day and B prints 55 per day:

$70A+55B=905$

This is now a system of equations. Solve by substitution. From the first equation, subtract B from both sides:

$A=14-B$

Substitute this into the second equation: "

$70(14-B)+55B=905$

First, we can divide everything by 5 to simplify things:

$14(14-B)+11B=181$

Distribute the left:

$196-14B+11B=181$

Combine like terms:

$-3B+196=181$

Subtract 196 from both sides:

$-3B=-15$

Divide both sides by -3

$B=5$

So, the company has 5 Model B presses.

Which means that the company has 14-5 or 9 Model A presses.

And we're done!

A manufacturer makes ball bearings out of molten steel. It takes 5.24 cubic centimeters of molten steel to make ? ball bearings

sammy [17]

<span>So we want to know how much ball bearings can be made with 5.24 cm^3 if one ball bearing has a diameter of 1 cm. We know that radius r=d/2=0.5cm So the volume V of one ball bearing is: V=(4/3)*pi*r^3 so V=(4/3)*3.14*(0.5)^3cm^3=0.524cm^3. Now we simply divide the volume of steel by the volume of the ball bearing: 5.24/0.524=10. So we can make 10 ball bearings from 5.24 cm^3 of steel</span>
