Carrie solved = by cross multiplying to get 4x = 6 and then divided both sides by 4. She got x = which reduced to x = . Is there a faster way to solve this problem?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Ok, when we have an equality, like:

A = B

That says that A is the same as B.

Then if a multiply, divide, add or subtract (or do a lot of other operations) in both sides of the equality, the equality does not change.

I suppose that we start with something like:

(4/3)*x = 2

(i will work with this, because you did not post the actual equations)

the thing that Carrie did is:

She multiplies both sides by 3, and get:

3*(4/3)*x = 2*3

4*x = 6

Now she divides bot sides by 4

4*x/4 = 6/4

x = 6/4 = 3/2.

Now, a simpler step is considerin (4/3) as a number A, then we have:

A*x = 2

Now we divide both sides by A.

A*x/A = 2/A

x = 2/A

and we have A = (4/3) then 1/A = (3/4)

x = 2*(3/4) = 3/2

An office supply store recently sold a black printer ink cartridge for $14.99 and a color printer ink cartridge for $20.99. At start of a recent fall semester, a total of 42 of these cartidges was sold for a total of $695.58. How many of each type were purchased?

Answers

Answer:

B = 31, C = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Let B be the number of Black printer ink cartridges and C be the number of color printer ink cartridges.

42 were sold in total, hence,

B+C= 42 ------------(1)

Also, its given that

14.99 B+20.99C= 695.58 ------(2)

Multiplying (1) by 20.99,

14.99 B+14.99 C= 629.58 ------(3)

Now, subtracting (3) from (2),

14.99 B+20.99C= 695.58

14.99 B+14.99 C= 629.58

------------------------------------

6 C = 66

C= 66/6

C = 11

We know, B+ C= 49

Hence B = 42- 11 = 31

B = 31

Hence, number of Black printer ink cartridges = 31 and color printer ink cartridges = 11 .

4 pumps can fill 800l of water in 20 min. In how many
minutes will 12 pumps fill 600l of water?
a) 6 min b) 5 min
c) 4 min d) 8 min​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One pump will fill 200l in 20 minutes

So the rate of filling per pump will be 10l/minute (200/20)

Let the number of minutes it will take to fill the 600l be x minutes

Now, since the rate of filling per pump is 10 l/minute

Then in x minute, they would have filled 10l/minute * x = 10x liters

So it is now this 10x liters that will be equal to 600

To find x, we simply divide

10x = 600

x= 600/10

x = 6 minutes

(b) The train is 61 cm long and travels at a speed of 18 cm/s.
It takes 4 seconds for the whole of the train to cross a bridge.
Calculate the length of the bridge.​

Answers

Answer:

The length of the bridge is 72 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the length of bridge, we have to apply distance formula which is D = S × T where S represents speed and T is time :

[tex]d = s \times t[/tex]

[tex]let \: s = 18,t = 4[/tex]

[tex]d = 18 \times 4[/tex]

[tex]d = 72 \: cm[/tex]

The length of the bridge is 11 cm .

What is relationship between distance time and speed ?

When an object moves in a straight line at a steady speed, we can calculate its speed if we know how far it travels and how long it takes. This equation shows the relationship between speed, distance traveled and time taken:

Speed is distance divided by the time taken.

For example, a car travels 30 kilometers in 2 hours.

Its speed is 30 ÷ 2 = 15km/hr.

Formula used :

Distance  = Speed * Time

Time = Distance / Speed

Speed = Distance / Time

According to the question

Length of train = 61 cm

Speed of train = 18 cm/s

Time taken to cross the bridge = 4 seconds

In this length traveled by train = length of train + Length of bridge

( as time given is to completely cross platform )

Therefore,

length traveled by train = 61 + Length of bridge

formula used

Distance  = Speed * Time

61 + Length of bridge =  18 * 4

61 + Length of bridge = 72

Length of bridge  = 72 - 61

Length of bridge  = 11 cm

Hence, the length of the bridge is 11 cm .

what is the system is equations 5x+4y=8 2x-3y=17

Answers

Answer:

  (4, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The system of equations can be described a number of ways. One possible description is "a consistent pair of linear equations in two variables."

Perhaps you want to know the solution to this system of equations. I find it easiest to graph them. The attached graph shows the solution to be ...

  (x, y) = (4, -3)

__

You can also use "elimination" to simplify the system to a single equation in a single variable. Adding 4 times the second equation to 3 times the first will do that.

  3(5x +4y) +4(2x -3y) = 3(8) +4(17)

  23x = 92 . . . . . simplify

  x = 4 . . . . . . . .  divide by 23

Substituting this value into the first equation, we have ...

  5(4) +4y = 8

  5 +y = 2 . . . . . . divide by 4

  y = -3 . . . . . . . . subtract 5

The solution is (x, y) = (4, -3).

Answers

Answer:

x = -C / (A + b)

Step-by-step explanation:

Without given values for the constants A, b, and C (Assuming they are constants), the best we can do is to isolate the variable x.  Let's proceed to solve for x.

Ax + bx + C = 0

x (A + b) + C = 0

x (A + b) = -C

x = -C / (A + b)

So now, when you get the values of the constants A, b, and C, you can plug those in to solve for variable x.

In exercises 22 24 , describe how the change affects the surface area of the right prism or right cylinder .

Answers

Answer:

  22. The surface area is 1/9 of its original value

  24. The surface area is 120 m^2 less than its original value.

Step-by-step explanation:

22. For similar figures, the surface area is proportional to the square of the linear dimension scale factor. Multiplying all linear dimensions by 1/3 will result in reducing the surface area to (1/3)^2 = 1/9 of its original value.

__

24. As above, the scaled base surface area will be (1/4)^2 = 1/16 of its original value. Since one dimension of the lateral area is multiplied by 4 and the other dimension is multiplied by 1/4, the net effect on that area is multiplication by (1/4)(4) = 1. That is, the lateral area will remain unchanged.

The overall surface area will be reduced by 15/16 of the area of the bases. The area of the bases is (2)(1/2)(8 m)(16 m) = 128 m^2. The changed figure will have a surface area that is 120 m^2 smaller.

whats the squareroot of 144 needs to be simplified

Answers

Answer:

12

Step-by-step explanation:

The square root of any number is basically asking "what number multiplied by itself will equal this number?"

Usually you memorize these, but there's also a quick way to do it.

We know that [tex]10\cdot10=100[/tex], so the square root must be greater than 10.

We also know that [tex]15\cdot15=225[/tex], so the square root must be less than 15.

A good mid point between these numbers is 13. Let's see what 13 squared is:

[tex]13\cdot13=169[/tex]

So it's a bit less than 13. Let's try 12.

[tex]12\cdot12=144[/tex]

So 12 is the square root of 144.

Either,

x-6 = 0

x = 6

can someone help plz?

Answers

Answer:

x = 3

y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the fact that our have two variables and two equations, I'm going to assume you are trying to find the values of x and y.

For these two equations, let's first find the value of x using the equation elimination method.

We're going to eliminate the y variable by multiplying the first equation by 2 and then adding that new equation to the second equation.

7x - y = 22 ==> 14x - 2y = 44

4x + 2y + (14x - 2y) = 10 + (44)

18x + 0y = 54

x = 3

Now we plug the value of x back into one of the equations to find the value of y.

7x - y = 22

7(3) - y = 22

-y = 22 - 21

y = -1

So our values are as follows:

x = 3

y = -1

Explanation:

The formula you use is

A = pi*r^2

The radius is r = d/2 = 10/2 = 5

So,

A = pi*r^2 = pi*5^2 = pi*25 = 25pi

is the exact area

Replace pi with 3.14 to get 25*pi = 25*3.14 = 78.5

which is the approximate area

To get a better approximation, you would use more decimal digits of pi.
