PLEASE HELP ME Answer the following two questions in your own words: 1. Why can I divide instead of distribute? Why is that allowed? Ex. why can I divide by 6 in 6(3x + 4) = 12 instead of distribute the 6? 2. When creating common denominators, why do I have to multiply the numerator AND the denominator? Ex. why do I have to multiply 1 by 5 AND 2 by 5 when adding 1/2 + 3/10?
Answer:
1. You can divide both sides of an equation by any number except zero. If dividing both sides simplifies the equation, then it's better to do than than to distribute.
2. A fraction can be thought of as a ratio. To keep the value of the fraction the same, you must multiply or divide the numerator and denominator by the same number. If you multiply only the denominator by a number, the value of the fraction changes.
Step-by-step explanation:
1.
6(3x + 4) = 12
Since the goal in solving this equation is to isolate x, meaning you want x alone on the left side, you need to do whatever legal operations that will accomplish that. Since 6 is a factor and (3x + 4) is a factor in a multiplication, you can divide both sides by 6 simplifying the left side. It is also correct to distribute on the left side, but it will make the solution longer.
Method 1: start by dividing both sides by 6
6(3x + 4) = 12
Step 1: Divide both sides by 6
3x + 4 = 2
Step 2: Subtract 4 from both sides
3x = -2
Step 3: Divide both sides by 3
x = -2/3
Method 2: start by distributing on the left side
6(3x + 4) = 12
Step 1: distribute the 6 on the left side
18x + 24 = 12
Step 2: subtract 24 from both sides
18x = -12
Step 3: divide both sides by 18
x = -12/18
Step 4: reduce the fraction
x = -2/3
As you can see, the solution is the same. The only difference is one extra step with the reduction of the fraction in the case of distributing the 6.
2.
This has to do with the meaning of fractions.
For example, take the fraction 1/2.
This fraction means that you divided the unit into 2 equal parts, shown by the denominator of 2. Then you are taking 1 of those parts, shown by the numerator of 1. 1/2 means 1 out of 2. You can also think of 1/2 as the ratio of 1 to 2.
To add and subtract two factions, we need a common denominator. That means we must rewrite one or both fractions being added or subtracted in a way that they both have the same denominator. We need the fractions to represent the same amounts they did originally. If you changed only the denominator, you'd be changing the actual value of the fraction.
You need to add 1/2 and 3/10.
The least common denominator of 2 and 10 is 10, so we need to have both fractions with a denominator of 10. 3/10 already has a denominator of 10, so we just need to change 1/2 to a fraction with 10 in the denominator. By multiplying 2 by 5 we get 10, so we need to multiply the denominator of 1/2 by 5 to end up with a denominator of 10.
1/2 + 3/10
If you only changed the denominator of 1/2 to 10 by multiplying 2 * 5 = 10, you'd end up with
1/10 + 3/10,
but now think of the fraction 1/10 and compare it to 1/2.
1/2 means divide the unit into 2 equal parts and take 1 part.
1/10 means divide the unit into 10 equal arts and take 1 part.
1/2 is not the same as 1/10, so rewriting the addition
1/2 + 3/10 as 1/10 + 3/10 is actually changing the problem.
Now see what happens when we multiply both the numerator and denominator by the same number, in this case 5.
We change 1/2 to (1 * 5)/(2 * 5) = 5/10. 1/2 equals 5/10. If you divide a unit into 10 equal parts and you take 5 parts, you have taken the same number of parts as if you had divided the unit into 2 parts and taken 1 part.
In other words, 1/2 is exactly the same amount as 5/10. The only difference between 1/2 and 5/10 is the way they are written.
Now we can correctly continue with the addition:
1/2 + 3/10 = 5/10 + 3/10 = 8/10
Finally we reduce 8/10 to 4/5 by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4.

Answer:
131 1/4 in.²
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the area of the figure, you would have to divide the figure into two parts. The figure can be divided into two rectangles.
Rectangle 1
The length is 11 3/4 in. The width is 6 in.
A = lw
A = (11 3/4 in.)(6 in.)
A = 70 1/2 in.²
Rectangle 2
The length is 9 in. The width is 6 3/4 in.
A = lw
A = (9 in.)(6 3/4 in.)
A = 60 3/4 in.²
Add the two areas together.
70 1/2 in.² + 60 3/4 in.² = 131 1/4 in.²

Answer:
54 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Measure of arc DCB is 125*2 = 250.

So, measure of arc AD is 110 - 56 = 54 degrees
ASAP!!!!!!!!! PLEASE help me with this question! This is really urgent! No nonsense answers please.
===============================================
Explanation:
Let's calculate the angle B based off the arcs CDF and GHJ
B = (far arc - near arc)/2
B = (arc CDF - arc GHJ)/2
B = (130 - 40)/2
B = 90/2
B = 45
----------
Now let's change GHJ to 30 degrees, while keeping the other arc the same.
B = (far arc - near arc)/2
B = (arc CDF - arc GHJ)/2
B = (130 - 30)/2
B = 100/2
B = 50
Angle B has increased from 45 degrees to 50 degrees.
If triangle ABC, m B = 90°, cos(9 = 17, and AB = 16 units.
Based on this information, m
Note that the angle measures are rounded to the nearest degree.
units.
Answer:
m∠A = 62°
m∠C = 28°
AC = 17 units
Step-by-step explanation:
In the given triangle ABC,
m∠B = 90°, Cos(C) = [tex]\frac{15}{17}[/tex] and AB = 16 units
Since, Cos(C) = [tex]\frac{\text{Corresponding side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]
Cos(C) = [tex]\frac{\text{Corresponding side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}=\frac{15}{17}[/tex]
[tex]\text{C}=\text{Cos}^{-1}(\frac{15}{17})[/tex]
m∠C = 28.07°
m∠C ≈ 28°
Therefore, side BC = 15 units and AC = 17 units
Now we apply Sine rule in the given triangle.
Sin(A) = [tex]\frac{\text{Opposite side}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{\text{BC}}{\text{AC}}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{15}{17}[/tex]
A = [tex]\text{Sin}^{-1}(\frac{15}{17} )[/tex]
A = 61.93°
m∠A = 62°
Find the slope and Y-Intercept of the line. 6X plus 2Y equals -88
Answer:
That’s ez pz
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The slope is -3 and the y intercept is -44
Step-by-step explanation:
6X+ 2Y= -88
The slope intercept form of a line is y= mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept
Solve for y
6X-6x+ 2Y= -88-6x
2y = -6x-88

Answer:
x = 9√3Step-by-step explanation:
Since the figure above is a right angled triangle we can use trigonometric ratios to find x
To find x we use tan
tan∅ = opposite/ adjacent
From the question
The opposite is 9
The adjacent is x
Substitute the values into the above formula
That's
[tex] \tan(30) = \frac{9}{x} [/tex]
[tex]x \tan(30) = 9[/tex]
Divide both sides by tan 30
[tex]x = \frac{9}{ \tan(30) } [/tex]
We have the final answer as
x = 9√3Hope this helps you

in triangle ABC A-B= 15 degree, B-C= 30 degree find A,B,C
Answer:
A=80 , B=65, C=35
Step-by-step explanation:
A-B=15 ⇒A=B+15
B-C=30⇒-C=30-B ⇒C=B-30
the sum of angle of a triangle = 180
A+B+C=180 ( substitute A and C)
B+15+B+B-30=180
3B-15=180
3B=180+15
B=195/3=65
C=B-30 ⇒ C=65-30=35
A=B+15=65+15=80
check : A+B+C=180
80+65+35=180 ( correct)
Olivia has 4 2/3 yards of fabric to make scarves. She needs 3/4 yards for one scarf. How many
scarves can she make?
Answer:
6 scarves
Step-by-step explanation:
So we know that 3/4 yd. = 1 (scarf)
We have 4 2/3 material to make the scarves
=> convert to an improper fraction 4 2/3 = 14/3
=> Divide material by needed amt.
=> 14/3 / 3/4 = 14/3 x 4/3=> 14/3 x 4/3 = 56/9
56/9 = 6 2/9
But 6 2/9 is not our answer. Since we need a full amt. of scraves, we round down to our final answer of 6 scarves.
Hope this helps!

451. Equilateral triangles BCP and CDQ are attached to the outside of regular pentagon
ABCDE. Is quadrilateral BPQD a parallelogram? Justify your answer.
Answer:
451. No, the angles are wrong.
Step-by-step explanation:
450. AB = 15, BC = 10, and CD= 7. Find the length DA.
This cannot be done without additional information about the sort of figure that ABCD is. If these are points on a line segment, we need to know their order. If these are points on a quadrilateral, we need to know its description in more detail.
If these are points ordered ABCD on a line, then AD = 15+10+7 = 32.
__
451. See the attached figure. BPQD is not a parallelogram: BCQ is not a straight line. (The internal angles of a pentagon are 108°, but would need to be 120° for BCQ to be a straight line, making BP parallel to DQ.) Instead, BPQD is an isosceles trapezoid.
The Acme Company lost 650 hours due to accidents on the job in the first quarter of the year. The average hourly wage of the employees who contributed to the lost hours was $15.00. The company benefits add 25% to the wages. Using the cost-of-lost-hours formula (employee hours lost X average loaded labour rate = cost), calculate the direct cost of the lost work hours. Discuss the approach you would use to estimate the hidden costs that would also be associated with the lost hours.
Your answer must be at least 200 words in length.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that ;
The Acme Company lost 650 hours due to accidents on the job in the first quarter of the year
The average hourly wage of the employees who contributed to the lost hours was $15.00 . i.e the direct labor cost = $15.00
The company benefits add 25% to the wages. = 0.25
The loaded labor cost = $15.00/hr × 0.25 = $3.75/hour
If we add the additional cost of benefit, then we have the loaded labor cost to be = $15.00/hour + $3.75/hour
= $18.75 / hour
However, the direct labor costs that the workers continued to receive without working. for the first quarter of the year by using the cost-of-lost-hours formula is :
= 650 hours × $15.00 / hours
= $9750
The hidden costs can be estimated from the Acme company's contributions to the employee. Given that the company benefits add 25% to the wage of the employee, therefore, this wage must be incorporated in order to find out the total wage cost for the lost work hours in the Acme company.
As a result of the company benefits, the fully loaded labor cost is 650 hours × $18.75 /hour which gives $12187.5.
Consequently, it is pertinent to determine the cost for additional benefits that the workers are receiving even though they are not working, this is achieved by the difference in the $9750 direct cost paid to labor and the benefits amount of $12187.5
i.e
the cost for additional benefits that the workers are receiving even though they are not working = $12187.5 - $9750 = $2437.5
Other ways the hidden cost can be estimated is by take note of the amount paid to the employee on the day the employee had an emergency, amount paid to the rescue team involved. etc

Ship Co. produces storage crates that require 1.2 meters of material at $.85 per meter and 01 direct labor hours at $15.00 per hour Overhead is applied at the rate of $9 per direct labor hour What is the total standard cost for one unit of product that would appear on a standard cost card?
Answer:
$3.42
Step-by-step explanation:
Meters of material required = 1.2 meters
Cost per meter of material = $0.85
Direct labor hours = 0.1
Cost of direct labor per hour = $15
Overhead rate = $9 per direct labor hour
Standard cost per unit of product :
(Direct material cost per unit + direct labor cost per unit + overhead cost per unit)
Direct material cost per unit :
Material needed × cost per meter = (1.2 × $0.85) = $1.02
Direct labor cost per unit :
Direct labor hour × cost per hour = ( 0.1 × $15) = $1.5
Overhead cost:
0.1 * $9 = $0.9
Standard cost :
($1.02 + $1.5 + $0.9) = $3.42

12x + 4y = 152 32x + 12y = 420 what is y?
Answer:
the value of x = 9 and y =11.
Given the system of equation:
12x + 4y =152 .......[1]
32x + 12y = 420 ......[2]
Multiply equation [1] by 3 we get;
Using distributive property:
......[3]
On solving equation [2] and [3] simultaneously we get;
x = 9
Substitute the value of x= 9 in [1] to solve for y;
108 + 4y = 152
Subtract 108 from both sides we have;
108 + 4y -108 = 152- 108
Simplify:
4y = 44
Divide both sides by 4 we get;
Simplify:
y= 11
therefore, the value of x = 9 and y =11.

A television network is about to telecast a new television show. Before a show is launched, the network airs a pilot episode and receives a report assessing favorable or unfavorable viewer response. In the past, 60% of the network's shows have received a favorable response from viewers, and 40% have received an unfavorable response. If 50% of the network’s shows have received a favorable response and have been successful, and 30% of the network’s shows have received an unfavorable response and have been successful, what is the probability that this new show will be successful if it receives a favorable response? A. 0.41 B. 0.53 C. 0.67 D. 0.70 E. 0.83
