2x +4 (3 - 2x) = 3(2x + 2)/6 + 4 from my math book

2 answers:

8 0

2x + 4(3-2x) = 3(2x+2)/6 +4

Break the brackets :

2x + 12 - 8x = (6x+6)/6 + 4

2x + 12 - 8x = x + 5

2x + 12 - 8x - (x+5) = 0
2x + 12 - 8x - x - 5 = 0
-7x + 7 = 0

-7x = -7
x = 1.

Hope it helps :)

Answer:

x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x +4 (3 - 2x) = 3(2x + 2)/6 + 4

2x+12-8x = (6x+6)/6 +4

-6x + 12 = x+1+4

12-5 = 7x

7x = 7

x=1

Hope this helps!

What the answer to this equation X/8+4=5 ?

V125BC [204]

Answer:

The answer to this equation is 8

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{x}{8} +4=5\\$

First: Subtract

$8-4=4$

$5 > 4$ meaning that 5 is greater than 4.

You still need another number to make it equal than or greater than or equal to five.

$5-4=1$

Since 5 minus 4 does equal 1

You need somewhere to divide it from to get 1 so you can add up the 4 to it and get the answer to the equation.

Lastly: Divide

$\frac{8}{8} =1$

$1+4=5\\5=5\\4\neq 5$

Now, if you do 8/8 which equals 1, 1+4 = 5; Now everything is, equaled up!

So in conclusion...

$\frac{x}{8} +4=5\\x=8\\\frac{8}{8}=1\\1+4=5\\5\neq5$

A rectangular package sent by a postal service can have a maximum combined length and girth (perimeter of a cross sectio) of 108

Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

The maximum volume of the package is obtained with a cross section of side 18 inches and a length of 36 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a optimization with restrictions problem.

The restriction is that the perimeter of the square cross section plus the length is equal to 108 inches (as we will maximize the volume, we wil use the maximum of length and cross section perimeter).

This restriction can be expressed as:

$4x+L=108$

being x: the side of the square of the cross section and L: length of the package.

The volume, that we want to maximize, is:

$V=x^2L$

If we express L in function of x using the restriction equation, we get:

$4x+L=108\\\\L=108-4x$

We replace L in the volume formula and we get

$V=x^2L=x^2*(108-4x)=-4x^3+108x^2$

To maximize the volume we derive and equal to 0

$\dfrac{dV}{dx}=-4*3x^2+108*2x=0\\\\\\-12x^2+216x=0\\\\-12x+216=0\\\\12x=216\\\\x=216/12=18$

We can replace x to calculate L:

$L=108-4x=108-4*18=108-72=36$

The maximum volume of the package is obtained with a cross section of side 18 inches and a length of 36 inches.

Pipe A can fill a tank in 40 minutes, while pipe B takes 60 minutes to fill the same tank.

ella [17]

Answer:

24 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

This question shows up in a great many places in math or physics, so it is a pretty good question to learn how to do.

First you should note that answer will be under 40 minutes.

1/40 + 1/60 = 1/TimeTotal

The common denominator on the left is 120 minutes

3/40*3 + 2/60*2 = 1/timetotal

3/120 + 2/120 = 1/ timetotal

5/120 = 1/time total Now to use to the key stop

What you do now is you always turn the left side over. You do the same thing to total time.

120/5 = total time

24 = total time

What this means is that if you let both pipes run for 24 minutes, they will fill the tank working together.

Why does the value of money in a savings account increase over time? A. because it earns interest B. because future value is alw

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

A. because it earns interest

Step-by-step explanation:

The interest rate is the gaining that you make for keeping your money in the bank. Suppose you have $100 and the bank offers you a 5% annually interest rate. The rate (5%) means that your money will earn five percent of the value each year, so after the first year you will earn (5%)*($100) = $5 of interest just for keeping your money in your savings account. Therefore, your money will grow overtime because it is earning interest. Remember that interest can be compound (over periods) or simple (like our example).
