Which value of x makes this equation true? -12x - 2(x+9) = 5(x+4)

Answers

Answer 1

x = -2

−12x−2(x+9)=5(x+4)

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by x+9.

−12x−2x−18=5(x+4)

Combine −12x and −2x to get −14x.

−14x−18=5(x+4)

Use the distributive property to multiply 5 by x+4.

−14x−18=5x+20

Subtract 5x from both sides.

−14x−18−5x=20

Combine −14x and −5x to get −19x.

−19x−18=20

Add 18 to both sides.

−19x=20+18

Add 20 and 18 to get 38.

−19x=38

Divide both sides by −19.

x=  

−19

38

 

Divide 38 by −19 to get −2.

x=−2

Answer 2

The required simplified value of x for the given equation is -2/19.

To determine the value of x that makes equation -12x - 2(x + 9) = 5(x + 4) true.

What is arithmetic?

In mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements. There are four major arithmetic operators, addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division,

What is simplification?

The process in mathematics to operate and interpret the function to make the function or expression simple or more understandable is called simplifying and the process is called simplification.

-12x - 2(x + 9) = 5(x + 4)
-12x -2x  - 18 = 5x + 20
-14x - 18 = 5x  + 20
-14x - 5x = 20 - 18
-19x  = 2
x = -2/19

Thus, the required simplified value of x for the given equations is -2/19.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]p(t) = \frac{9t^{3} + 729t - 1}{e^{t}(t^{2} + 81) }[/tex]

g(t) = 0

And

The differential equation [tex]9ty + e^{t}y' = \frac{y}{t^{2} + 81 }[/tex] is  linear and homogeneous

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

The differential equation is -

[tex]9ty + e^{t}y' = \frac{y}{t^{2} + 81 }[/tex]

[tex]e^{t}y' + (9t - \frac{1}{t^{2} + 81 } )y = 0\\e^{t}y' + (\frac{9t(t^{2} + 81 ) - 1}{t^{2} + 81 } )y = 0\\e^{t}y' + (\frac{9t^{3} + 729t - 1}{t^{2} + 81 } )y = 0\\y' + [\frac{9t^{3} + 729t - 1}{e^{t}(t^{2} + 81) } ]y = 0[/tex]

By comparing with y′+p(t)y=g(t), we get

[tex]p(t) = \frac{9t^{3} + 729t - 1}{e^{t}(t^{2} + 81) }[/tex]

g(t) = 0

And

The differential equation [tex]9ty + e^{t}y' = \frac{y}{t^{2} + 81 }[/tex] is  linear and homogeneous.

Answers

Answer:

In the first 3.5 hours, the family travelled 175 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the table:

time (hours)              distance ( miles)

      0                                   0

      1                                   50

       2                                 100

      3                                  150

      4                                 200

      5                                 250

      6                                 300

      7                                 350

      8                                 400

      9                                 450

This seems like a linear relationship, let's write the general line:

y = a*x + b

That represents this situation, y is the distance in miles and x is the time in hours.

In the line equation, a represents the slope and b the y-intercept.

And if the line passes through the points (x₁, y₁) and (x₂, y₂), then the slope of the line is:

a = (y₂ - y₁)/(x₂ - x₁)

In this case we have a lot of points for the line, we can use any pair we want (we actually should use a few different pairs to see that the slope is always the same)

So if we use the first two (0, 0) and (1, 50)

the slope is:

a = (50 - 0)/(1 - 0) = 50

Now, if we use the third and fifth points (4, 200) and (5, 250) now the slope is:

a = (250 - 200)/(5 - 4) = 50/1 = 50

So we can conclude that the slope of the equation is a = 50

Then the equation is something like:

y = 50*x + b

To find the value of b, we can use any of the points of the line, for example (0, 0)

This means that when x = 0, y also must be 0, then:

0 = 50*0 + b

0 = b

Then the equation is:

y = 50*x

Now, to answer how many miles the family travelled in the first 3.5 hours, we just need to replace x by 3.5 in the equation:

y = 50*3.5 = 175

In the first 3.5 hours, the family travelled 175 miles.

Answer:

a=1; b=14

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to form a perfect square

(a+b)²=a²+b²+2ab

If you add a one you will get a perfect square

x²+2x+1 = (x+1)²

if you added a one in one side you have to added to the other side too

(x+1)² = 13+1

(x+1)² = 14

Answer:

a = 1, b = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term)² to both sides , that is

x² + 2(1)x + 1 = 13 + 1

(x + 1)² = 14

with a = 1 and b = 14

Answer:

Sn = -9(1-(-3)^n)/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Since r < 1, the sum of nth term of a geometric sequence is expressed as;

Sn = a(1-r^n)/1-r

a is the first term

n is the number f terms

r is the common ratio

An = -9(1-(-3)^n)/1-(-3)

Sn = -9(1-(-3)^n)/4

Hence the sum of the nth term of the series is Sn = -9(1-(-3)^n)/4

The co-secant of angle A is √85 / 6. And that angle A is in Quadrant I.

Then the value of angle A will be

csc A = √85 / 6

1 / cos A = √85 / 6

cos A = 6 / √85

A = 49.4°

After that incident, the Civil defense team decided to buy new trucks with ladders higher than 100 feet. They found 2 different trucks with same height of ladders. The first truck costs $145,000 and will cost $0.31 per mile traveled based on the current gas prices. The second truck will cost $160,000 but gets better gas mileage, costing $0.27 per mile. They need to decide which truck is the best deal.

Answers

Answer:

the first truck

Step-by-step explanation:

the cost difference between the first truck and the second truck = $160,000-$145,000 = $15,000

the difference of gas cost between the first truck and the second truck = $0.31 - $0.26= $0.05 per mile.

so,

I think, this is a very significant number of truck cost compared with gas cost

for the best deal, the first truck is the best choice.
