Problem: 4x - (x - 4) = - 20

I desperately need a good grade because this is my first grade.

Correct answer is brainiest!

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - (x - 4) = - 20

Distribute the minus sign

4x - x +4 = -20

Combine like terms

3x+4 = -20

Subtract 4 from each side

3x+4-4 = -20-4

3x = -24

Divide by 3

3x/3 = -24/3

x = -8

Answer 2

Answer:

x = -8

Step-by-step explanation:

4x - (x - 4) = -20

~Simplify

4x - x + 4

~Subtract 4 to both sides

3x = -24

~Divide 3 to both sides

x = -8

Best of Luck!

Answer:

[tex]\text{As }x\rightarrow \infty, f(x)\rightarrow -\infty,\\\text{As }x\rightarrow -\infty, f(x)\rightarrow -\infty[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

This question is asking for the function's end behavior. An even degree power function with a negative leading coefficient forms a parabola concave down. This means, its vertex represents the maximum and the parabola opens downward (towards negative infinity).

Thus,

[tex]\lim_{x\rightarrow \infty}f(x)=-\infty,\\\lim_{x\rightarrow-\infty}f(x)=-\infty[/tex]

This corresponds with the first answer choice listed:

[tex]\text{As }x\rightarrow \infty, f(x)\rightarrow -\infty,\\\text{As }x\rightarrow -\infty, f(x)\rightarrow -\infty[/tex]

Fine FG , given that line HF is perpendicular bisector or EG

Answers

Answer:

FG = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by calculating HF. This can be obtained by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

EF = 7

EH = 3

HF =?

EF² = EH² + HF²

7² = 3² + HF²

49 = 9 + HF²

Collect like terms

49 – 9 = HF²

40 = HF²

Take the square root of both side

HF = √40

Finally, we shall determine FG. This can be obtained as follow:

GH = 3

HF = √40

FG =.?

FG² = GH² + HF²

FG² = 3² + (√40)²

FG² = 9 + 40

FG² = 49

Take the square root of both side

FG = √49

FG = 7

If p =(3x+1) and q = ( 3x-1),show that : pq+1 =x2

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

It should be 9x² not x²

p = (3x + 1) and q = (3x - 1)

pq + 1 = (3x + 1)(3x - 1) + 1

= (9x² - 3x + 3x - 1) + 1

= (9x² - 1) + 1

= 9x² - 1 + 1

= 9x²

Therefore,

pq + 1 = 9x²

use a double angle or half angle identity to find the exact value of each expression

Answers

θ is given to be in the fourth quadrant (270° < θ < 360°) for which sin(θ) < 0 and cos(θ) > 0. This means

cos²(θ) + sin²(θ) = 1   ==>   sin(θ) = -√[1 - cos²(θ)] = -3/5

Now recall the double angle identity for sine:

sin(2θ) = 2 sin(θ) cos(θ)

You and a friend decide to take a road trip. You drive an average speed of 70 mph and your friend drives an average of 75 mph. You want to drive at least 500 miles per day. You also plan to spend no more than 10 hours driving each day. Which of the following is a system of linear inequalities that represents this situation? Let x = number of hours you drive and let y represent the number of hours your friend will drive.

Answers

Given:

your speed = 70 mph

Your friend's speed = 75 mph

You want to drive at least 500 miles per day.

You also plan to spend no more than 10 hours driving each day.

To find:

The system of linear inequalities that represents this situation.

Solution:

Let x be the number of hours you drive and let y represents the number of hours your friend will drive.

You also plan to spend no more than 10 hours driving each day.

[tex]x+y\leq 10[/tex]

Your speed is 70 mph and your friend's speed is 75 mph. So, the distance covered in x and y hours are 70x miles and 75y miles respectively.

You want to drive at least 500 miles per day. So, the total distance must be greater than or equal to 500.

[tex]70x+75y\geq 500[/tex]

[tex]5(14x+15y)\geq 500[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5.

[tex]14x+15y\geq 100[/tex]

Therefore, the required system of inequalities has two inequalities [tex]x+y\leq 10[/tex] and [tex]14x+15y\geq 100[/tex].

Median = 7

Lower quartile:

Then  again find the median of the numbers from the first to the number before the median. This is the lower quartile.

Jack can build 1/5 of a shed in the same time Kyle build 5/8 of a shed. How much of a shed will jack have built when Kyle has finished building 1 shed.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If Kyle can get 5/8 of a shed built in x amount of time, he can get 62.5% done; if Jack can get 1/5 of the shed built in the same time, he can 20% of it done. As a ratio:

[tex]\frac{Kyle}{Jack}:\frac{62.5}{20}[/tex]  Kyle gets the whole thing done, 100% of the way, leaving Jack lagging behind at a somewhat lower percentage of the work being done.

[tex]\frac{Kyle}{Jack}:\frac{62.5}{20}=\frac{100}{x}[/tex] and cross multiply to solve for the percentage of the shed built by Jack by the time Kyle gets it completed:

62.5x = 2000 so

x = 32%

When Kyle will complete the work the amount of the work done by Jack will be 32%.

What is an expression?

Mathematical expression is the combination of numerical variables and operations denoted by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs.

Mathematical symbols can be used to represent numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping. They can also be used to denote the logical syntax's operation order and other properties.

If Kyle can get 5/8 of a shed built in x amount of time, he can get 62.5% done; if Jack can get 1/5 of the shed built in the same time, he can 20% of it done. As a ratio:

Jack falls behind Kyle, completing only a small portion of the work, while Kyle completes the entire task and cross multiplies to solve for the percentage of the shed built by Jack by the time Kyle gets it completed:

Kyle / Jack ÷ 62.5 / 20 = 100 / x

62.5x = 2000 so

x = 32%

Therefore, when Kyle will complete the work the amount of the work done by Jack will be 32%.

A bag contains 10 marbles,7 of which are black and 3 are red.three marbles are drawn at one after the other.find the probability of choosing at most two black marbles.​

Answers

Answer:  17/24

==========================================================

Explanation:

We have these four cases or possible outcomes

Case 1) We select 0 black marbles and 3 red marbles.Case 2) We select 1 black marble and 2 red marbles.Case 3) We select 2 black marbles and 1 red marble.Case 4) We select 3 black marbles and 0 red marbles.

Let's calculate the probability for case 4.

There are 7 black marbles out of 10 total. The probability of picking black is 7/10. If no replacement is made, then 6/9 is the probability of picking black again (subtract 1 from the numerator and denominator separately). Finally, 5/8 is the probability of getting black a third time.

The probability of getting 3 black marbles in a row is

(7/10)*(6/9)*(5/8) = (7*6*5)/(10*9*8) = 210/720 = 7/24.

That fraction 7/24 means that if you had 24 chances, then you expect about 7 of them will lead to getting three black marbles in a row (aka case 4). Therefore, 24-7 = 17 occurrences are expected where we get cases 1 through 3 occur in some fashion (pick one case only).

Notice how cases 1 through 3 encapsulate the phrasing "at most 2 black marbles" which is another way of saying "2 black marbles is the highest we can go".

So that's why the answer is 17/24.
