Answer:
No
Edit:
Yes, based on original equation. (Credit to greenpumpkin for correction)
Step-by-step explanation:
For this problem, we simply need to find the values of x that can make the equation true. So, let's begin by isolating the "x" variable.
sqrt(2x + 13) = x + 5
[sqrt(2x + 13)]^2 = (x + 5)^2
2x + 13 = x^2 + 10x + 25
0 = x^2 + 8x + 12
Note, we can remove the sqrt method by squaring both sides of the equation. Doing this, we see we have a quadratic equation meaning we can apply the quadratic formula to find solutions for x.
[-b +/- sqrt( b^2 - 4(a)(c) ) ] / 2a
Let a = 1, b = 8, and c = 12
[-8 +/- sqrt( (8)^2 - 4(1)(12) ) ] / 2(1)
= [-8 +/- sqrt( 64 - 48 ) ] / 2
= [-8 +/- sqrt(16) ] / 2
= [ -8 +/- 4 ] / 2
So, x = [ -8 + 4 ] / 2 and x = [-8 - 4 ] / 2
x = [-4] / 2 = -2 and x = [-12] / 2 = -6
Hence, the two values of x that can solve this quadratic equation are x = -2 and x = -6.
Therefore, we know that x = -6 is not extraneous, meaning it is a solution to our equation.
Cheers.
----------------------------------------------------
Edit:
Plugging the value of -6 back into the original equation, we get the following:
sqrt(2x + 13) = x + 5
sqrt(2(-6) + 13) = (-6) + 5
sqrt (1) = -1
1 != -1
Given that 1 cannot equal negative 1, we can say that x = -6 is an extraneous solution. (Credit to greenpumpkin for correction)
Laura has 160 pounds of green beans at her vegetable stand. If she sells 10 pounds of green beans every hour, what is the percent decrease in green beans after 3 hours?
A
18.75%
B
81.25%
C
23.07%
D
16%
Given:
Laura has 160 pounds of green beans at her vegetable stand.
She sells 10 pounds of green beans every hour.
To find:
The percent decrease in green beans after 3 hours.
Solution:
We have,
Beans sold in 1 hour = 10 pounds
So, Beans sold in 3 hours = 30 pounds
Decrease in green beans after 3 hours is 30 pounds.
Now,
[tex]\%\text{Decrease}=\dfrac{\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours }}{\text{Initial amount of green beans}}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\%\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours}=\dfrac{30}{160}\times 100[/tex]
[tex]\%\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours}=\dfrac{300}{16}[/tex]
[tex]\%\text{Decrease in green beans after 3 hours}=18.75\%[/tex]
Therefore, the correct option is A.

Step-by-step explanation:
A house has increased in value by 36 percent since it was purchased. If the current value is 306000 what was the value when it was purchased?
Answer:
$225,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Step-by-step explanation:
To calculate the percentage change we will apply the formula:
p= N-O/O *100
p is the increased percentage
N is the current value
O is the old value.
Substitute the values in the formula:
36 = 306,000 - O/O *100
Divide both the sides by 100
36/100 = 306,000 - O/O *100/100
36/100 = 306,000 - O/O
Now multiply O at both sides
36/100 * O = 306,000-O/O * O
At R.H.S O will be cancelled by O
At L.H.S 36/ 100 = 0.36
0.36 O= 306,000-O
Combine the like terms:
0.36 O+O =306,000
1.36 O = 306,000
Divide both the terms by 1.36
1.36 O/ 1.36 = 306,000/1.36
O= $225,000
Therefore when the house was purchased its value was $225,000....
A computer manufacturer has found that its expenditure rate per day (in hundreds of dollars) on a certain type of job is given by where x is the number of days since the start of the job. Find the expenditure if the job takes 8 days.
Answer:
The expenditure would be $ 8600
Step-by-step explanation:
If the cost is given by the function
C(x)= 10x + 6 where x is the number of days
The cost for 1 day would be
C(1)= 16 *100 = 1600 $ ( the expenses are in hundreds of dollars)
Then Putting x= 8 in the given equation we get
C(8)= 10(8) + 6
= 86
Multiplying 86 by 100 because expenditure rate per day is in hundreds of dollars
The expenditure would be $ 8600
A flower bed is in the shape of a triangle with one side twice the length of the shortest side and the third side is 12 feet more than the length of the shortest side.Find the dimensions if the perimeter is 136 feet
x - the shortest side
2x
x + 28
The sum of these must be equal to the perimeter of the flower bed, so
x + 2x + x + 28 = 184
4 x + 28 = 184 Combined like terms
4x = 156 Subtracted 28 from both sides
x = 39 Divided both sides by 4.
So the dimensions are 39 feet, 78 feet, and 67 feet

Answer:
1. yes
2. no
Step-by-step explanation:

Please help!! I just need help with question 40!!
Answer:
a. 70%
b. 6 more times
c. subtract from 100% with percentages, subtract from 1 with decimals.
Step-by-step explanation:
a. To find the percentage of red and yellow, skip back the decimal point two times: 0.26 > 26% 0.04 > 4%
Add all of the percentages together to get 70%
b. To find how many times more students said red than yellow, divide yellow from red. It shows you how many times yellow can go into red, giving you the correct answer.
0.26 ÷ 0.04
26 ÷ 4
6
c. 14% + 26% + 40% + 4% = 84%
100% - 84%
16%
(do the same thing with decimals and pick your favorite method)

A chemist has 100 ml of 25% acid solution. how much of the solution does she need to drain and replace with 70% acid solution to obtain 100 ml of 60% acid solution?
Answer:
The proportion of acid at 70% that the chemist must use will be 77.8%, while the remaining 22.2% will be acid at 25%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Since the chemist has 100 ml of solution with 25% acid, and wants to obtain a solution of 60% acid by mixing the first with another 70% acid solution, to determine how much of each solution the chemical should use necessary to perform the following calculation:
70 x 1 + 25 x 0 = 70
70 x 0.9 + 25 x 0.1 = 65.5
70 x 0.8 + 25 x 0.2 = 61
70 x 0.7 + 25 x 0.3 = 56.5
Therefore, the proportion to be used is between 70% and 80% of acid at 70%, and 20% to 30% of acid at 25%.
70 x 0.75 + 25 x 0.25 = 58.75
70 x 0.76 + 25 x 0.24 = 59.2
70 x 0.77 + 25 x 0.23 = 59.65
70 x 0.78 + 25 x 0.22 = 60.1
Thus, the proportion should be between 77 and 78% of acid at 70% and 22 and 23% of acid at 25%.
70 x 0.778 + 25 x 0.222 = 60.01
Thus, finally, the proportion of acid at 70% that the chemist must use will be 77.8%, while the remaining 22.2% will be acid at 25%.
