2(x + 7) + 3x = 12
What is the first step in solving this equation for x?

Answers

Answer 1
first step is expand by using distributive property
2(x + 7) + 3x = 12 

step 1:
2x + 14 + 3x = 12
Answer 2
First step would be to expand it and make it 2x + 14 + 3x = 12

Second step would be to add 2x + 14 + 3x so it can be 5x + 14

Third step would be to subtract 14 from both sides

Fourth step would be to subtract 12 - 14 so it can be -2

Last step to get your answer would be to divide both sides by 5

Answer to this whole equation: x = -2/5.

x = [ ]

Answers

Attached the solution. It is important to know the 30-60-90 and 45-45-90 special right triangles.

Answer:

[tex]x=4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of two right triangles and we asked to find the value of x.

First of all , we will find the length of segment RT using sine.

[tex]\text{Sin}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]

Upon substituting our given values in above formula we will get,

[tex]\text{Sin}(60^{\circ})=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{RT}[/tex]

[tex]RT=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{\text{Sin}(60^{\circ})}[/tex]

[tex]RT=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]RT=\frac{2\sqrt{3}}{\sqrt{3}}\times 2[/tex]

[tex]RT=2\times 2[/tex]

[tex]RT=4[/tex]

Now we know that length of segment RT and angle QRT of triangle QRT, so we will use tangent to find the length of segment QR (x) as:

[tex]\text{tan}=\frac{\text{Opposite}}{\text{Adjacent}}[/tex]

[tex]\text{tan}(45^{\circ})=\frac{x}{4}[/tex]

Multiplying both sides of our equation by 4 we will get,

[tex]\text{tan}(45^{\circ})*4=\frac{x}{4}*4[/tex]

[tex]\text{tan}(45^{\circ})*4=x[/tex]

Substituting [tex]\text{tan}(45^{\circ})=1[/tex] we will get,

[tex]1*4=x[/tex]

[tex]4=x[/tex]

Therefore, the value of x is 4 units.

Scott earns 16.85 per hour at his job. He works 7 hour per day , 4 days per week. What Scott's gross income in 4 weeks

Answers

Scott's gross income in 4 weeks, rounded to the nearest cent, is $1887.20.

Calculate Scott's daily earnings:

  Scott earns $16.85 per hour, and he works for 7 hours per day.

  Daily earnings = $16.85/hour × 7 hours = $117.95

Calculate Scott's weekly earnings:

  Scott works 4 days per week.

  Weekly earnings = Daily earnings × Number of days worked per week

                  = $117.95/day × 4 days/week

                  = $471.80

Calculate Scott's gross income for 4 weeks:

  Scott works for 4 weeks.

  Gross income for 4 weeks = Weekly earnings × Number of weeks

                            = $471.80/week × 4 weeks

                            = $1887.20

However, we need to ensure the precision of the final answer. As currency involves cents, it's important to round appropriately.

Since we're dealing with money, we'll round to the nearest cent.

After rounding, the gross income for 4 weeks is $1887.20.

Lisa earns $8.10 an hour and worked 40 hours. Jamie earns $10.80 an hour. How many hours would Jamie need to work to equal Lisa’s earnings over 40 hours

Answers

30 hours is how much she would work

Answer:

it takes 30 hours for Jamie to equal Lisa's earnings

Step-by-step explanation:

Lisa earns $8.10 an hour and worked 40 hours.

Total amount Lisa earns = rate times hours

Total amount Lisa earns =[tex]8.10 \cdot 40=324[/tex]

Jamie earns $10.80 an hour

LEt 'n' be the number of hours Jamie works

Total amount Jamie earns =[tex]10.80 \cdot n=10.80n[/tex]

we need to find out 'n' when Jamie earnings is equal to Lisa earnings

[tex]10.80n= 324[/tex]

Divide by 10.80 on both sides

n= 30

So it takes 30 hours for Jamie to equal Lisa's earnings

What value of c makes x2 − 12x + c a perfect square trinomial? −36 −24 24 36

Answers

Take half of the middle coefficient.
Then square it.

-12/2 = -6

(-6)^2 = 36

c = 36

Answer: The value of c must be 36 to make it perfect square trinomial.

Explanation:

A standard perfect square trinomial is [tex]x^2+2ax+a^2=(x+a)^2[/tex] where [tex]a^2[/tex] is the constant term.

Given trinomial [tex]x^2-12x+c=x^2+2(-6)a+c[/tex]

On comparing with standard perfect square trinomial we get a=-6

Therefore the constant term c=[tex]a^2=(-6)^2=36[/tex]

Such that the trinomial becomes [tex]x^2-12x+36=x^2+2(-6)x+(-6)^2=(x-6)^2[/tex] a perfect square trinomial.

Hence the value of c for the given trinomial must be 36 to make it perfect square trinomial.

There are two positive numbers. four times the small number plus 3 times the big number is 41. two times the small number plus the big number is 15. what is 10 times the big number minus 6 times the small number;

Answers

the small number is 2 the large number is 11.
4(2)+11(3)=41
2(2)+11=15
11(10) -2(6) = 98


hope that helps

Final answer:

To find the value of 10 times the big number minus 6 times the small number, we need to solve a system of equations. The solution to the system is x = 2 and y = 11, so the value of 10y - 6x is 98.

Explanation:

To find the value of 10 times the big number minus 6 times the small number, we need to solve the system of equations:

4x + 3y = 41 (equation 1)

2x + y = 15 (equation 2)

We can first solve equation 2 for y by subtracting 2x from both sides: y = 15 - 2x. Now we can substitute this value of y into equation 1:

4x + 3(15 - 2x) = 41

Simplifying, we get: 4x + 45 - 6x = 41

Combining like terms, we have: -2x + 45 = 41

Subtracting 45 from both sides, we get: -2x = -4

Dividing both sides by -2, we get: x = 2

Now we can substitute this value of x back into equation 2 to solve for y:

2(2) + y = 15

Simplifying, we get: 4 + y = 15

Subtracting 4 from both sides, we get: y = 11

Finally, we can calculate 10 times the big number minus 6 times the small number:

10y - 6x = 10(11) - 6(2) = 110 - 12 = 98

Gail lives in Kentucky and pays 6% in sales tax. She just bought $165 in groceries, but $80 worth of those groceries were nontaxable. What is the total amount that Gail paid for the groceries, including sales tax?

A.$165.99
B.$170.10
C.$165.51
D.$174.90

HELPPPPPP ME

Answers

Answer:

Option B. $170.10

Step-by-step explanation:

Gail bought groceries worth = $165.00

She gets rebate of taxes on the amount = $80.00

She has to pay tax on = 165 - 80 = $85.00

In her state sales tax are = 6%

So her tax on groceries  = 6% of 85 = 0.06 × 85 = $5.10

Now she paid total amount = 165 + 5.10 = $170.10

Gail paid $170.10 for the groceries, including sale tax

Option B. $170.10

so, the idea behind the elimination is that, you multiply either or both equations by some factor, so that one variable, get a negative twin, and then the twins cancel each other... so... let's do so by multiplying the bottom equation by 3, so we end up with "3d" at the bottom and -3d + 3d zaps each other.

well, it turns out that, the top equation is really the bottom equation in disguise, so both equations are really twins, and therefore they have infinitely many solutions, not just one solution.

graph wise, if you graph one and graph the other, what will occur is that, one will be pancaked on top of the other, and so every single point in the graph is solution.

what is the approximate circumference of the circle shown below

Answers

The correct option is [tex]\boxed{\bf option A}[/tex] i.e, [tex]\boxed{\bf 129\text{ cm}}[/tex].

Further explanation:

A circle is the set of all points on a plane whose distance from a fixed point is constant.

There are infinite points on the circle and distance of these points from the center of circle is always constant.

The distance from the center of the circle to any point on the circle is called as radius of the circle.

The circumference is the length of the circle and the formula of the circumference [tex]C[/tex] for the circle is as follows:

[tex]\boxed{C=2\pi r}[/tex]  …… (1)

Here, [tex]r[/tex] is the radius of the circle and the value of [tex]\pi[/tex] is approximately equal to [tex]3.14[/tex].

The formula of the circumference for circle is terms of diameter is as follows:

[tex]\boxed{C=d\pi}[/tex]

Here, [tex]d[/tex] is the diameter of the circle.

The relationship between diameter and the radius is as follows:

[tex]\boxed{d=2r}[/tex].

From attached Figure 1 it is observed that the radius of the circle is [tex]20.5\text{ cm}[/tex].

 

Substitute [tex]r=20.5[/tex] in the equation (1) to obtain the value of circumference [tex]C[/tex] as follows:

[tex]\begin{aligned}C&=2\pi r\\&=2\cdot 3.14 \cdot 20.5\\&=128.74\\ &\approx129\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore, the circumference of the circle is [tex]\boxed{\bf 129\text{\bf cm}}[/tex].

Thus, the correct option is [tex]\boxed{\bf option A}[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]16x^2= 49[/tex]

Solve the equation for x

To solve the equation , we need to isolate x

To get x alone , we need to remove the numbers attached with x

To remove 16 we divide both sides by 16

[tex]x^2 = \frac{49}{16}[/tex]

Now to remove square from x we take square root on both sides

[tex]\sqrt{x^2} = \sqrt{\frac{49}{16}}[/tex]

square root (49) = 7

square root (16)= 4

So , [tex]x= +-\frac{7}{4}[/tex]

3y+12=-2x+6
3y+2x+12-6=0
3y+2x+6=0
or
3y+2x=-6

Final answer:

The equation of the line that is parallel to 2x+3y=3 and passes through the point (3, −4) is y = −(2/3)x − 2. We found this by first converting the given line into slope-intercept form to find the slope, and then using the point-slope form with the given point.

Explanation:

To find the equation of the line that is parallel to 2x+3y=3 and passes through the point (3, −4), we first need to determine the slope of the given line. The equation of a line in slope-intercept form is y = mx + b, where m represents the slope. We can rewrite the given equation in slope-intercept form by isolating y:

2x + 3y = 3

3y = −2x + 3

y = −(2/3)x + 1

This shows that the slope (m) of the given line is −(2/3). Since parallel lines have the same slope, the slope of the new line will also be −(2/3). Now we use the point-slope form of a line which is y − y1 = m(x − x1), where (x1,y1) is a point on the line. Plugging in the given point (3, −4) and the slope −(2/3), we get:

y − (−4) = −(2/3)(x − 3)

Distributing the slope on the right side and moving −4 to the other side gives us the final equation:

y = −(2/3)x + 2 + −4

y = −(2/3)x − 2

This is the equation of the line that is parallel to 2x+3y=3 and passes through the point (3, −4).
