Jenny & Natasha are working on a problem together: Solve x/3 + 8 = −2. Natasha thinks the first step is to multiply by 3. Jenny explains that this is not the most efficient way to solve. Explain who is correct & justify your reasoning.

Answers

Answer 1

The individual that is correct is Natasha. This is because the answer can be gotten using Natasha's method

The given equation is  [tex]\frac{x}{3} + 8 = -2[/tex]

Solving the equation using Natasha's method

the fist step is to multiply by 2

x + 24 = - 6

The second step is to combine  and add similar terms

x = -24 - 6

x = -30

Second method of solving the equation

The equation the friends are trying to solve is [tex]\frac{x}{3} + 8 = -2[/tex]

The first step is to combine similar terms

[tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex] = - 8 - 2

The second step is to add similar terms together

[tex]\frac{x}{3}[/tex] = - 10

The third step is to multiply both sides of the equation by 3

x = (-10 x 3)

x = -30

Robert spends $30.45 before tax at the bookstore. If the sales tax rate in his city is 7.25%, what is the total cost of his purchase?

Answers

Answer:

32.65

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

Total cost of purchase = $32.66

Step-by-step explanation:

$30.45 before tax

If sales tax = 7.25% or 0.0725, then: $30.45 × 0.0725 = $2.21

Add the sales tax of $2.21 to $30.45 = $32.657 or $32.66

Therefore, the total cost of his purchase is $32.66

Answer:

Answer should be a.

Step-by-step explanation:

I need someone to explain to me how to solve this, because I need to show my work.

Answers

so to find the answer you have to know what the mixture is, what the trend is,

on day one he used 4 cans of blue and 6 cans of yellow

day two, 6 blue and 9 yellow

both are divisible by 2 and 3 respectively, additionally when you divide the number of blue cans Marc used by the number of yellow cans each day you get a sum of .66

those are the trends

so therefore day three would have the same trend.


Now on day three Marc will have 4 cans of blue paint and 5 cans of yellow paint remaining, what I did here to find the answer was divide numbers under 4 and 5 until I got a division problem that equaled .66

my answer was 2 blue cans and 3 yellow.

The answer is that on day three the highest number of cans that Marc can mix to get his favorite shade of green is 2 blue and 3 yellow

Skylar is going to drive from her house to City A without stopping. An equation that determines Skylar's distance from City A tt hours after leaving her house is D=120-30t. What is the x-intercept of the equation and what is its interpretation in the context of the problem?

Answers

Answer:

The x-intercept of the function is 4 which represents the total time of the trip, in hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Skylar was a distance of 0 miles from City A after 4 hours, the x-intercept of 4 represents how many hours it took Skylar to drive from her house to City A.

Have a good day :)

The x- intercept is 4 hours.

What is Slope?

A line's slope is determined by how its y coordinate changes in relation to how its x coordinate changes. y and x are the net changes in the y and x coordinates, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to write the change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate as,

m = Δy/Δxwhere,m is the slope

Given:

D=120-30t.

According to slope - intercept form

y= mx+ b

where m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

So,  the x-intercept

0= 120- 30t

t= -120/ (-30)

t= 4

Hence, the x- intercept is 4 hours.

Answer: 100 99/100

Step-by-step explanation: add the 1/2 and 1/5 together by finding a common denominator(10). 1/2 would become 5/10 and 1/5 would become 2/10. 2/10 + 5/10 =7/10. now we're left with (7/10)^2 +3/10 x 5

to do (7/10)^2 you square the top and bottom to give you 49/100.

next we'll do 3/10 x 5 which would equal 15/10. so now all we have left to do is add 49/100 and 15/10. to do this we'll find a common denominator of 100. so well multiply the top and bottom by 10 to give you 150/100.

finally, 49/100 + 150/100 = 199/100 or as a mixed number, 100 99/100

Answer:

1[tex]\frac{99}{100}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

I would start by turning the parentheses fractions into one fraction.

You could do binomial multiplication and get [tex]a^{2} +2ab+b^{2}[/tex] but it might take longer.

So I would just turn them into one fraction by finding the common denominator.

The common denominator here is 10

[tex]\frac{1}{5} (\frac{2}{2} )=\frac{2}{10}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2} (\frac{5}{5} )=\frac{5}{10}[/tex]

Now add

[tex]\frac{2}{10} +\frac{5}{10} =\frac{7}{10}[/tex]

Now apply: [tex](\frac{a}{b} )^{2} =\frac{a^{2} }{b^{2} }[/tex]

[tex](\frac{7}{10} )^{2} =\frac{7^{2} }{10^{2} } =\frac{49}{100}[/tex]

Now, multiplying the other fraction we get [tex]\frac{3}{10} (5)=\frac{15}{10}[/tex]

Now turn this into a fraction with denominator 100 to add the two fractions

[tex]\frac{15}{10} (\frac{10}{10} )=\frac{150}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{49}{100} +\frac{150}{100} =\frac{199}{100} =1\frac{99}{100}[/tex]

There is also another method to add or subtract fractions without multiplying to get a common denominator in case you are interested:

[tex]\frac{a}{b}[/tex]±[tex]\frac{c}{d}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{ad+bc}{bd}[/tex]

Answer: 3.3

Step-by-step explanation: pythagorean theorem.

first we'll do the bottom triangle. a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a=3 and b=4

(3)^2 + (4)^2 = 9 + 16 = 25 which = c^2

to find c from c^2, square root the c^2 value. in this case it's 25. the square root of 25 is 5.

5 is now the base of the rectangle

now we can do pythagorean theorem again. except we'll switch it so it's c^2 - b^2 =a^2

c=6 and b=5

(6)^2 - (5)^2 = 36 - 25 = 11 = a^2

to find a we'll square root 11 which is just [tex]\sqrt{11[/tex]. approx. 3.3 to the nearest tenth.

Answer:    x = √(11)   or  ≈ 3.3167

Step-by-step explanation:

We can use the Pythagorean theorem to solve for x.

But first, we have to find the value of 'a' (as I labelled in the diagram below). We could actually do all this in one step if we set it up correctly.

so    x = √(6² - a²)

&     a² = 3² + 4²

⇒  x = √[6² - (3² + 4²)]

    x = √(11)   or ≈ 3.3167
