Consider the equation 6x +7=3x � 5. Which of the following possible first steps would prevent having to deal with fractions when solving the equation?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

D.  I or II only

Step-by-step explanation:

By a small online search, I've found that the equation is:

6x + 7 = 3x - 5

And the options are:

I. Combining the 6x and 3x terms

II. Combining the 7 and 5

III. Dividing both sides of the equation  by 6

A.  I only

B.  II only

C.  III only

D.  I or II only

E.   I or II or III

So, let's solve the equation in such a way that we can prevent the use of fractions:

6x + 7 = 3x - 5

We can use I and II, combining one in each side, so we get (so we use I and II at the same time)

6x - 3x = -5 - 7

solving these, we get:

(6 - 3)*x = -12

3*x = -12

and -12 is divisible by 3, so if we divide in both sides by 3, we get:

x = -12/3 = -4

x = -4

So we avoided working with fractions, and we used I and II.

Then the first step could be either I or II (the order does not matter)

Then the correct option is:

D.  I or II only

if the measure of angle def is 65° what is the measure of arc de?

Answers

EF is tangent to the circle we'll assume; otherwise there's no progress.

Call the center C. ECD is isosceles, formed from two radii and the chord.

Angle CED is complementary to DEF

CED = 90 - 65 = 25 degrees

CDE is congruent, isosceles triangle and all that: CDE=25

That leaves DCE=180-25-25=130 degrees

That's the measure of arc DE as well:

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to solve the given expression.

[tex]-\dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{4}{5}-\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{4}+\dfrac{4}{5}\times \dfrac{7}{5}[/tex]

We can also write it as :

[tex]-\dfrac{3}{4}\times \dfrac{4}{5}+\dfrac{4}{5}\times \dfrac{7}{5}-\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{5}(\dfrac{-3}{4}+\dfrac{7}{5})-\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{4}[/tex](Distributive property is used)

So,

[tex]=\dfrac{4}{5}\times \dfrac{13}{20}-\dfrac{1}{2}\times\dfrac{1}{4}\\\\=\dfrac{4}{5}\times \dfrac{13}{20}-\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\=\dfrac{13}{25}-\dfrac{1}{8}\\\\=0.395[/tex]

So, the value of the given expression is equal to 0.395.

Cost of each pencil = $12.5

Cost of each eraser = $7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of eraser bought = 3

Number of pencil bought = 2

Total amount paid = $47.50

Cost of one pencil and one eraser = $20

Find:

Each cost

Computation:

Let;

Cost of each eraser = e

Cost of each pencil = p

So,

e + p = 20

e = 20 - p .................................... eq1

3e + 2p = 47.50

3(20 - p) + 2p = 47.50

60 - 3p + 2p = 47.50

-p = -12.5

Cost of each pencil = $12.5

e = 20 - p

e = 20 - 12.5

e = 7.5

Cost of each eraser = $7.5

Write a compound interest function to model the following situation. Then, find the balance after the
given number of years.
$13,700 invested at a rate of 2% compounded quarterly; 6 years

Answers

Answer:

The balance after the 6 years of investment will be $ 15,442.08.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that $ 13,700 was invested at a rate of 2% compounded quarterly during 6 years, to determine the final result of the investment, the following calculation must be performed:

13,700 x (1 + 0.02 / 4) ^ 4x6 = X

13,700 x (1 + 0.005) ^ 24 = X

13,700 x 1,005 ^ 24 = X

13,700 x 1.1271 = X

15,442.08 = X

Therefore, the balance after the 6 years of investment will be $ 15,442.08.

X2+y2-6x+2y-39=0 what is the radius and the center

Answers

Answer:

(centre = (3, - 1 ) and radius = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

Given

x² + y² - 6x + 2y - 39 = 0 ( collect x/ y terms and add 39 to both sides )

x² - 6x + y² + 2y = 39

Using the method of completing the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x/ y terms )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 3)x + 9 + y² + 2(1)y + 1 = 39 + 9 + 1

(x - 3)² + (y + 1)² = 49 ← in standard form

with centre (3, - 1 ) and r = [tex]\sqrt{49}[/tex] = 7

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=1[/tex]

[tex]y=2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]y=x^2+3x-2[/tex] , [tex]y+3=5x[/tex]

Replace all occurrences of [tex]y[/tex] in [tex]y+3=5x[/tex] with [tex]x^2+3x-2.[/tex]

[tex](x^2+3x-2)+3=5x[/tex]

[tex]y=x^2+3x-2[/tex]

Add [tex]-2[/tex] and 3.

[tex]x^2+3x+1=5x[/tex]

[tex]y=x^2+3x-2[/tex]

Subtract 5x from both sides of the equation.

[tex]x^2+3x+1-5x=0[/tex]

[tex]y=x^2+3x-2[/tex]

Subtract 5x from 3x.

[tex]x^2-2x+1=0[/tex]

[tex]y=x^2+3x-2[/tex]

Rewrite 1 as [tex]1^2[/tex].

[tex]x^2-2x+1^2=0[/tex]

Check that the middle term is two times the product of the numbers being squared in the first term and third term.

Rewrite the polynomial.

[tex]y=x^2+3x-2[/tex]

Factor using the perfect square

trinomial rule [tex]a^2-2ab+b^2=(a-b)^2,[/tex]

where a = x and b = 1.

[tex](x-1)^2=0[/tex]

[tex]y=x^2+3x-2[/tex]

Set the [tex]x-1[/tex] equal to 0.

[tex]x-1=0[/tex]

[tex]y=x^2+3x-2[/tex]

Add 1 to both sides of the equation.

[tex]x=1[/tex]

[tex]y=x^2+3x-2[/tex]

Replace all occurrences of [tex]x[/tex] in

[tex]y=x^2+3x-2[/tex] with 1.
