Solve the equation. Check your solution. a/4 - 5/6= -1/2

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a= 4/3

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) Simplify both sides of the given equation:

1/4a + -5/6 = -1/2

2.) Add the 5/6 to both sides (cancels the -5/6)

1/4a + -5/6 (+5/6) = -1/2 (+5/6)

1/4a = 1/3

3.) Multiply both sides by 4 (the denominator)

4 * 1/4a = 1/3 * 4

a = 4/3

To check the solution, plug in 4/3 into a:

4/3/4 - 5/6 = -1/2

2.) Dividing fractions is also multiplication:

(4/3 * 1/4) - 5/6 = -1/2

3.) Get the difference of 1/3 and 5/6

1/3 - 5/6 = -1/2

4.) Simplify -3/6 (3 goes into 3 ONCE and into 6 TWO times)

-3/6 = -1/2

5.) Check to see if both sides match

-1/2 = -1/2

The height of a pebble dropped from a cliff 20,00 feet heigh is described by formula h(t)=20,000 + 5t^2. How long will the pebble take to reach a height of 32,500 feet?

Answers

Answer:

It will take 50 seconds for the pebble to reach the height

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the time, simple substitute h(t) for 32,500

So we have

32,500 = 20,000 + 5t^2

5t^2 = 32,500-20,000

5t^2 = 12500

t^2 = 12500/5

t^2 = 2500

t = square root of 2500

t = 50 seconds

Jillian is selling boxes of cookies to raise money for her basketball team. The 10 oz. box costs $3.50, while the 16 oz. box costs $5.00. At the end of one week, she collected $97.50, selling a total of 24 boxes. The system of equations that models her sales is below.

x+ y= 24

3.50x + 5.00y = 97.50

Solve the system of equations. How many 10 oz. boxes were sold?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  15

Step-by-step explanation:

We see that x represents the number of 10-oz boxes sold. Then y=24-x is the number of 16-oz boxes sold. Substituting for y in the second equation gives ...

  3.50x +5.00(24 -x) = 97.50

  -1.50x +120 = 97.50

  22.50 = 1.50x . . . . . . . add 1.50x -97.50

  15 = x . . . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 1.50

15 10-oz boxes were sold.

From the question, we are informed that Brianna teacher gives her a container that has 0.25 liter of a liquid in it and she needs to use 0.4 of this liquid for the experiment.

The amount of liquid that Brianna will use will be:

Joaquin is four more than half Marjorie’s age. Marjorie is also 32 less than three times Joaquin’s age.

How old is Marjorie?

Answers

Answer:

She is 40 years of age

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Joaquin age be j

Let Marjorie age be m

From the first part of the question;

j = 4 + m/2

Secondly;

m =3j - 32

Multiply equation i through by 2

2j = 8 + m

m = 2j-8

Equate both m

2j-8 = 3j-32

3j-2j = 32 -8

j = 24

m = 2j-8

m = 2(24)-8

m = 48-8

m = 40

Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

-x - 2y = 2

4x - 2y = -8

Step 2: Rewrite Systems

-x - 2y = 2

Multiply both sides by -1:                    x + 2y = -2

Step 3: Redefine Systems

x + 2y = -2

4x - 2y = -8

Step 4: Solve for x

Elimination

Combine equations:                    5x = -10Divide 5 on both sides:                x = -2

Step 5: Solve for y

Define equation:                    4x - 2y = -8Substitute in x:                       4(-2) - 2y = -8Multiply:                                  -8 - 2y = -8Isolate y term:                        -2y = 0Isolate y:                                 y = 0

Greetings again.

The answer is (-2,0)

Explanation:

This one is different from other 2 previous questions. The last and previous 2 questions have positive y for another equation and negative y for another equation which makes them 0 (As y - y = 0)

But this one is different. y-terms both are negative for both equations. If we decide to add -2y and -2y then It'd make -4y which doesn't make 0.

And how are we gonna solve by elimination? That's simple. By multiplying one of the equation by -1.

We can do that, to eliminate y-term out. Choose one equation to multiply. I'll be multiplying -1 in the first equation.

[tex]-x-2y=2[/tex]

Multiply -1 in whole equation.

[tex]-x(-1)-2y(-1)=2(-1)\\x+2y=-2[/tex]

Remind that negative multiply/distribute in negative equal positive always.

And x + 2y = -2 is your new equation from the first equation.

[tex]\left \{ {{x+2y=-2} \atop {4x-2y=-8}} \right.[/tex]

This is our new equations. Then we are able to eliminate y-term.

[tex]5x=-10\\x=-2[/tex]

In case if you forget again, we can simply add/subtract vertically.

x+4x = 5x

2y-2y = 0

-2-8 = -10

That's how we get 5x=-10 and thus x = -2.

We already get x-value, and you know that we need to find the y-value too.

Therefore, substitute x = -2 in any given equations. Less coefficient value, the faster and better.

I'll substitute in -x-2y=2

[tex]-x-2y=2[/tex]

Substitute x = -2 in the equation.

[tex]-(-2)-2y=2\\2-2y=2\\-2y=2-2\\-2y=0\\y=\frac{0}{-2}\\y=0[/tex]

Thus, when x = -2, y = 0. Since you want the answer as ordered pair, then the answer is (-2,0)

Identify the two factors that were multiplied together to form the array of tiles. Then identify the product of the two factors. Use the variable x in your expressions.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]Terms: 3\ and\ x + 2[/tex]

[tex]Product = 3x + 6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

See attachment for complete question.

From the attachment, there are 3 columns and 3 rows

The 3 columns represent the first factor

To get the second factor, we have to analyze the 3 rows in the attachment.

Notice that the first row is bigger than the other two rows.

This big row will be represented with variable x

Notice that the boxes in second row are smaller than the first row and the + sign is written on each of the boxes.

This is represented with + 1

Also, notice that the boxes in third row are smaller than the first row and the + sign is written on each of the boxes.

This is also represented with + 1

Hence, the expression for the rows is x + 1 + 1 = x + 2

The product is then calculated as:

[tex]Product = 3 * (x + 2)[/tex]

[tex]Product = 3 * x + 3*2[/tex]

[tex]Product = 3x + 6[/tex]
