What is the value of b in the equation 3b + 2(b - 1) =8

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

b = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the value of b, we have to isolate b on one side of equation first

So,

[tex]3b+2(b-1)=8[/tex]

Multiplying 2 with b-1

[tex]3b+2b-2=8\\5b-2=8[/tex]

Adding 2 on both sides

[tex]5b-2+2=8+2\\5b=10[/tex]

Dividing by 5 on both sides

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

So the value of b is 2 ..

Answer 2

ANSWER

The value of b is 2

EXPLANATION

The given linear equation in b is

[tex]3b + 2(b - 1) = 8[/tex]

We expand to get:

[tex]3b + 2b - 2= 8[/tex]

We now group similar terms to obtain:

[tex]3b + 2b = 8 + 2[/tex]

Combine the similar terms now to obtain:

[tex]5b = 10[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5 to get:

[tex]b = \frac{10}{5} [/tex]

This simplifies to:

[tex]b = 2[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

A = 3.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The length of line segment AB is 3.4cm.

The area of octagon is given as 2a^2(1+sqrt{2})  

Where a is the side of octagaon. All sides of octagon are same.

As, 2a^2(1+sqrt{2}) = 54cm

Then, a^2 = 54/2(1+sqrt{2})

a^2 = 54/4.828

determine whether y varies directly with x. if so, find the constant of variation and write the equation.​

Answers

For this case we have that if and it varies directly with x, we can write the equation as:

[tex]y = kx[/tex]

Where:

k: It is the constant of proportionality.

According to the table:

[tex]-3 = k (1)[/tex]

Clearing k:

[tex]k = -3[/tex]

Then,[tex]y = -3x[/tex]

Answer:

Option C

Answer:

y varies directly with x

[tex]k = -3[/tex]

The equation is:

[tex]y = -3x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We can say that and it varies directly with x if it is fulfilled that

[tex]y = kx[/tex]

Where k is a constant known as the constant of variation.

So

[tex]\frac{y}{x} = k[/tex]

This means that if y varies with x then the division of y between x should always be equal to a constant value k.

We must test this for the values shown in the table

[tex]\frac{-3}{1} = -3[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-9}{3} = -3[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-15}{5} = -3[/tex]

The quotient of [tex]\frac{y}{x}[/tex] is always equal to [tex]-3[/tex]. Then [tex]k = -3[/tex] and the variation of y with x is direct

The equation is:

[tex]y = -3x[/tex]

a. 2x + 3 + 2x + 5 = 16

Answers

Answer:

simplifies to 4x +8 = 16has solution x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is simplified by combining "like" terms. The terms "2x" and "2x" are "like" not just because they are identical, but because the only variable (x) is raised to the same power (1) in each term. We can use the distributive property to help combine those terms:

  2x +2x = (x)(2+2) = 4x

Of course, the constants on the left can be simply added: 3 + 5 = 8.

Now, the simplified form of the equation is ...

  4x + 8 = 16

__

To solve this, we note that all the numerical values are multiples of 4, the x-coefficient. Then we can divide all of them by 4 to give ...

  x + 2 = 4

You know the value of x already at this point, since you're familiar with your addition facts. However, to complete the solution algebraically, we subtract 2 from both sides of the equation:

  x = 2

_____

Comment on this solution

You will usually get instruction to "separate the variable terms from the constant terms," so the simplified equation would usually have 8 subtracted from both sides to give ...

  4x = 8

Then, you would divide by the x-coefficient to get x=2.

I elected to do it the way shown above for a couple of reasons:

so you can see it is possible and gives the correct resultso the numbers remaining in the equation are smaller, making the math slightly easier

Step-by-step explanation:

Answers

For this case we have by definition, that the equation of a line in the slope-intersection form is given by:

[tex]y = mx + b[/tex]

Where:

m: It's the slope

b: It is the cutoff point with the y axis

We need two points through which the line passes to find the slope:

[tex](0, -2)\\(-3,0)[/tex]

We found the slope:

[tex]m = \frac {y2-y1} {x2-x1}\\m = \frac {0 - (- 2)} {- 3-0} = \frac {2} {- 3} = - \frac {2} {3}[/tex]

So, the equation is of the form:

[tex]y = - \frac {2} {3} x + b[/tex]

We substitute a point to find "b":

[tex]-2 = - \frac {2} {3} (0) + b\\-2 = b[/tex]

If x - 10 is a factor of x2 - 8x - 20, what is the other
factor?
X+

Answers

Answer:

If one factor is (x-10) then the other factor is (x+2).

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to factorize the term x^2-8x-20

For factorization we need to break the middle term.

Middle term : -8x

Product of first and last term: -20x^2

Factors: -10x, +2x

Solving:

x^2-8x-20

x^2-10x+2x-20

x(x-10)+2(x-10)

(x-10)(x+2)

So, if one factor is (x-10) then other factor is (x+2)

If angle 2=3x +1 and angle 3=2x +4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 1 angle = 90° then the sum of the other 2 angles = 90°, that is

∠2 + ∠3 = 90 ← substitute values

3x + 1 + 2x + 4 = 90

5x + 5 = 90 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

5x = 85 ( divide both sides by 5 )

what is the definition of a term?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

In math, a term is a combination of coefficients, constants and /or variables, each combination being separated by either a + sign or a - sign.

Final answer:

A term's definition provides an explanation of its meaning, often found in dictionaries but should also consider context and usage for a well-rounded understanding. Terms are often constructed from roots, prefixes, and suffixes that each convey a portion of the term's complete meaning. In textbooks, 'Key Terms' are important words paired with their definitions, as used in context.

Explanation:

The definition of a term refers to the explicit and clear explanation of what a particular term or word represents or means. This explanation is often found in dictionaries, but for full comprehension, it's important to also consider context and usage. While a dictionary provides a basic description based on common usage of a term, sometimes this common usage might lack precision or accuracy. It becomes essential to reflect on the term's meaning within a larger understanding of the world.

Consider anatomical terms used in biology, their definitions are composed of roots, prefixes, and suffixes - each part offering a piece of the term's overall meaning. For example, 'hypertension' is made from hyper- which means high and -tension which means pressure. Together it represents abnormally high blood pressure.

Meanwhile, in the context of a school textbook, 'Key Terms' are words of importance that are highlighted (usually in bold) and then followed by a definition. This way, the term syntax is given in the context in which it is used in the text. This makes understanding easier and seamless.

What is graph?

Graph is a mathematical representation of a network and it describes the relationship between lines and points. A graph consists of some points and lines between them. The length of the lines and position of the points do not matter.

We can visually identify functions by their graphs using the vertical line test. If any vertical line intersects the graph more than once, then the graph does not represent a function.

The vertical line represents a value in the domain, and the number of intersections with the graph represent the number of values to which it corresponds.

As we can see, any vertical line will intersect the graph of y=|x|−2 only once.

Therefore, it is a function.

A vertical line can cross the graph of x=|y|+1 more than once.

Answers

ANSWER

Option D.

EXPLANATION

The given function is

[tex]f(x) = {x}^{2} [/tex]

The new function is

[tex]g(x) = f(5x)[/tex]

This implies that,

[tex]g(x) = {(5x)}^{2} [/tex]

This gives us:

[tex]g(x) = {25x}^{2} [/tex]

We can that the graph of g(x) will shrink by a factor of 25 compared to f(x).

The graph will open upwards and shrink towards the y-axis.

Answer:

The answer is D

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise some transformations

- A horizontal compression is the squeezing of the graph toward

 the y-axis.

- If the graph is y = f(x) and its image is y = f(k•x)

∴ The graph is horizontally compressed if k > 1 that means divide

   each of its x-coordinates by k.

∴ The graph is horizontally stretched if 0 < k < 1, that means divide

   each of its x-coordinates by k.

* Now lets solve the problem

∵ f(x) = x²

∵ g(x) = f(5x)

- Substitute the value of x in f(x) by 5x

∴ f(5x) = (5x)²

∴ g(x) = (5x)²

∵ The image of f(x) = x² is g(x) = (5x)²

∴ k = 5

∵ 5 > 1

∴ The graph of f(x) is compressed horizontally

- divide each x-coordinates of the points on the graph by 5

∴ The graph becomes narrow to the y-axis

- Look to the attached graph for more understanding

# The red graph is f(x) = x²

# The blue graph is g(x) = (5x)²
