If a=12 and 120% of a is equal to 80% of b then what is a+b

1 answer:

8 0

A=12
120% of a =80% of b
120%a = 80%b
120a/100 = 80b/100
Divide through by 100
120a = 80b
Divide through by 80
120a/80 = b
But a=12
120x 12/80 = b
18 = b
b = 18

a+b = 12 + 18 = 30

An aircraft factory manufactures airplane engines. The unit cost (the cost in dollars to make each airplane engine) depends on t

Juliette [100K]

Answer:

Minimum unit cost = 5,858

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function : C(x)=x^2−520x+73458

To find the minimum unit cost :

Take the derivative of C(x) with respect to x

dC/dx = 2x - 520

Set = 0

2x - 520

2x = 520

x = 260

To minimize unit cost, 260 engines must be produced

Hence, minimum unit cost will be :

C(x)=x^2−520x+73458

Put x = 260

C(260) = 260^2−520(260) + 73458

= 5,858

4(x-12)^1/3 = -16<br> Help please, thank you

Lina20 [59]

Hello!

4 (x-12) ^ 1/3 = -16

Step 1. Simplify each side of the equation, 4/ 3x + −16 = −16 and 4 /3 x −16 = −16

Step 2. Add 16 to both sides, 4 /3 x − 16 + 16 = −16 + 16

Step 3: Multiply both sides by 3/4, ( 3/4)*(4/3x)=(3/4)*(0)

Final Answer: x= 0

Hope I could help! :)

1. The sum of the angles is 90° The difference between twice the larger angle and the smaller

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

$\displaystyle 25°\:and\:°65$

Step-by-step explanation:

{90° = m∠1 + m∠2

{105° = 2m∠1 - m∠2

_______________

$\displaystyle \frac{195°}{3} = \frac{3m∠1}{3} \\ \\ 65° = m∠1$

All you have left to do is this:

$\displaystyle 25° = -65° + 90°$

So, your two angle measures are $\displaystyle 25°\:and\:°65.$

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
