Schach [20]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Tom is incorrect

The cost of using the air pump has increased by 150%

Step-by-step explanation:

Tom is incorrect

percent change = [ (difference between initial and final value) ÷ initial value] × 100

⇒ [ (50 - 20) ÷ 20) × 100 = 150%

Therefore, the cost of using the air pump has increased by 150%

Point M is the midpoint of segment AB.<br> AM=3x+40 and MB=x^2. Find x and AB
Nina [5.8K]

\text{Hello there! :)}

x = 8\\\\AB = 128 \text{ units}

-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

\text{Since Point M is the midpoint of AB, then:}\\\\AM = MB\\\\

\text{Set the two equations equal to each other:}\\\\3x + 40 = x^{2} \\\\

\text{Move all terms over to one side to simplify more easily:}\\\\0 = x^{2} - 3x - 40

\text{Factor by finding numbers that sum up to -3 and multiply into -40:}\\\\0 = (x - 8)(x + 5)\\\\x = -5, 8

\text{The length of a segment cannot be negative, so choose the positive solution:}\\\\x = 8

\text{Substitute in this value of x into either AM or MB to solve for AB:}

AB = 2(MB)\\\\AB = 2(x^{2} )\\\\AB = 2(8^{2})\\ \\AB = 2(64)\\\\AB = 128 \text{ units}

4x-5y=-3
tresset_1 [31]
4x - 5y = -3  ⇒ 1st equation
2x + 3z = 4  ⇒ 2nd equation
3y - z = 8     ⇒ 3rd equation

find the value of z.

3y - z = 8
- z = 8 - 3y
z = (8 - 3y) / -1
z = -8 + 3y

Substitute z with its value in the 2nd equation:
2x + 3z = 4
2x + 3(-8 + 3y) = 4
2x - 24 + 9y = 4
2x + 9y = 4 + 24
2x + 9y = 28

find value of x
2x + 9y = 28
2x = 28 - 9y
x = (28 - 9y)/2
x = 14 - 9y/2

Substitute the value of x in 1st equation
4x - 5y = -3
4(14-9y/2) - 5y = -3
56 - 36y/2 - 5y = -3
- 36y/2 - 5y = -3 - 56
- 36y/2 - 5y = - 59
2(-36y/2 - 5y) = 2(-59)
-36y - 10y = -118
-46y = -118
-46y/-46 = -118/-46
y = 2 26/46
y = 2 13/23  

x = 14 - 9y/2
x = 14 - 9 (2 13/23) /2
x = 14 - 9 (59/23) / 2
x = 14 - 531/23 / 2
x = 14 - 531/23 * 1/2
x = 14 - 531/23*2
x = 14 - 531/46
x = (14*46/46) - 531/46
x = 644/46 - 531/46
x = (644-531)/46
x = 113/46
x = 2 21/46

z = -8 + 3y
z = -8 + 3(2 13/23)
z = -8 + 3(59/23)
z = -8 + 177/23
z = (-8*23/23) + 177/23
z = -184/23 + 177/23
z = (-184 + 177)/23
z = -7/23

x = 2 21/46 ; y = 2 13/23 ; z = -7/23

4x - 5y = -3
4(113/46) - 5(59/23) = -3
452/46 - 295/23 = -3
9.826 - 12.826 = -3
-3 = -3

2x + 3z = 4
2(113/46) + 3(-7/23) = 4
226/46 - 21/23 = 4
4.913 - 0.913 = 4
4 = 4

3y - z = 8
3(59/23) - (-7/23) = 8
177/23 + 7/23 = 8
7.696 + 0.304 = 8
8 = 8
