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.

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.

In a mathematics class, half of the students scored 89 on an achievement test. With the exception of a few students who scored 48, the remaining students scored 79. Which of the following statements is true about the distribution of scores?
A. The mean is less than the median.
B. The mean and the median are the same.
C. The mean is greater than the mode.
D. The mean is greater than the median.
Answer:
A. The mean is less than the median.
Step-by-step explanation:
Half the students scored 89. The next highest score is 79. So the median is (79 + 89) / 2 = 84.
A few students scored 48, so the mean is slightly lower than the mean of 79 and 89.
Therefore, the mean is less than the median.
Answer:
A. The mean is less than the median.
Step-by-step explanation:
Say that half the students answered 79, and the rest 89.
We'd have a distribution something like this:
79 79 79 89 89 89
The median is in the smack middle. Since we have an even number of scores, the median would be the number between the 2 middle numbers. Here, that's 79 and 89. Thus, the median is 84.
The mean is the "average" of all values. Since we have an equal number of 79s to 89s, the mean would also be in the middle of those values (balancing an equal number on both sides). So, the mean would also be 84.
HOWEVER, we have an unspecified number of 48's.
The distribution looks something like
48 79 79 89 89 89
The median is still the same, smack middle between the 2 values in the middle. 84.
But the mean has changed. We have smaller values on the left. The mean is brought down by these 48 values. It doesn't matter how many, the fact that we have at least 1 will bring the mean, the average, down.

A new brand of gym shoe claims to add up to 2 inches to an athlete’s vertical leaps. Design an experiment to test this claim.
Describe a sample procedure.
A) Find the average vertical leap of all the athletes in their regular shoes. Give the control group the new shoes and the experimental group a different pair of shoes. Find the average vertical leap of the athletes in both groups. Compare the increases in vertical leap for each group.
B) Find the average vertical leap of all the athletes in their regular shoes. Give the experimental group the new shoes and the control group a different pair of shoes. Find the average vertical leap of the athletes in both groups. Compare the increases in vertical leap for each group.
C) Find the average vertical leap of a group of athletes in their regular shoes. Then give them each the new shoes and find their average vertical leap. Compare the before and after results.
Answer:
The correct option is (B).
Step-by-step explanation:
In this case, we need to test whether the claim made by the new brand of gym shoe is correct or not.
Claim: A new brand of gym shoe claims to add up to 2 inches to an athlete’s vertical leaps.
So, we need to test whether the average vertical leap of all the athletes increased by 2 inches or not after using the new brand of gym shoe.
The sample procedure would be to compute the average vertical leap of a group of athletes in their regular shoes (or a different pair) and the average vertical leap of a group of athletes in their new shoes.
Compare the two averages to see whether the difference is 2 inches or not.
The experimental group would be the one with the new shoes and the control group would be the one with the different pair of shoes.
Thus, the correct option is (B).
Answer:
B) Find the average vertical leap of all the athletes in their regular shoes. Give the experimental group the new shoes and the control group a different pair of shoes. Find the average vertical leap of the athletes in both groups. Compare the increases in vertical leap for each group.

Answer:
2(x + 9)(x + 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
First, take out a GCF if possible. Each coefficient is dividable by 2, so 2 is the GCF.-2(x^2 + 10x + 9)
→ The main quadratic equation is equal to ax^2 + bx + c.
Then, use a factoring pattern to factor the expression in parentheses. The factors of C that add up to equal B are the two factors.2(x + 9)(x + 1)
The expression cannot be factored any further.
jacob received $500 for christmas from his parents, he wants to put it into an account that will pay him 7.75% interest each year. if he wants to withdraw all his funds at the end of the year. how much will he withdraw
Answer:
He will have $538.75 after one year.
Step-by-step explanation:
First we need to find how much is 7.75% of 500. We can find it by multiplying 500 x .0775
This equals 38.75
That means after one year, he has $38.75 more.
500+38.75=538.75
He will have $538.75 after one year.
A baker has three banana muffin recipes. Recipe AAA uses 333 bananas to make 121212 muffins. Recipe BBB uses 555 bananas to make 242424 muffins. Recipe CCC uses 111111 bananas to make 484848 muffins. Order the recipes by number of bananas per muffin from least to greatest.
Answer:
The order from least to greatest is B, A, C
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Recipe A = 3 bananas to 12 Muffins
Recipe B = 5 bananas to 24 Muffins
Recipe C = 11 bananas to 48 Muffins
Required
Order the recipe from least to greatest
To solve this, we have to divide the number of bananas by number of muffins; this will give the unit banana per muffin
Recipe A: 3 bananas to 12 Muffins
[tex]A = \frac{3}{12}[/tex]
[tex]A = 0.25[/tex]
Recipe B: 5 bananas to 24 Muffins
[tex]B = \frac{5}{24}[/tex]
[tex]B = 0.2083[/tex]
Recipe C: 11 bananas to 48 Muffins
[tex]C = \frac{11}{48}[/tex]
[tex]C = 0.229167[/tex]
By comparison;
Recipe B (0.2083) is the smallest; followed by Recipe C (0.229167) then Recipe A (0.25)
Hence; the order from least to greatest is B, A, C

The sum of two consecutive odd integers is at least 36, find the integers
Answer:
The two integers are greater than or equal to 17 and 19
Step-by-step explanation:
Consecutive odd integers means 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 and so on
That means there is a always a gap of 2 in between each of them. Knowing this, we can set up an equation. Let x represent the first of the consecutive integers.
x+(x+2)=36
x+2 represents the second consecutive interger
x+x=34
2x=34
x=17
The two integers are 17 and 19

If QR = 3x; LM - 8x -17; and ST = 31 calculate LM.
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The midsegment of a trapezoid is equal to one half the sum of the bases.
1. Set up the equation using the midsegment formula: 1/2 (QR + ST)
1/2 (3x + 31) = 8x - 17
2. Solve
1.5x + 15.5 = 8x - 17
32.5 = 6.5x
x = 5
Answer:
[tex]\huge \boxed{23}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
QR < LM < ST
LM is the middle segment, it is in between the length of QR and ST.
LM is also the average or mean of QR and ST.
(QR+ST)/2 = LM
(3x+31)/2 = 8x-17
Multiply both sides by 2.
(2)(3x+31)/2 = (2)8x-17
3x + 31 = 16x - 34
Subtract 16x and 31 from both sides.
3x + 31 - 16x - 31 = 16x - 34 - 16x - 31
-13x = -65
Divide both sides by -13.
(-13x)/-13 = -65/-13
x = 5
Substitute x = 5 for LM.
8(5) - 17
40 - 17
= 23

The sum of 3 consecutive even numbers is 132
pleaase help!!!
Answer:
42,44,46
Step-by-step explanation:
we first divide the 132 by the 3 which gives 44
since the numbers involved are even numbers and we know even numbers are numbers divisible by 2 we subtract 2 from the 44 and also add 2 to the 44 the get the rest of the two numbers which is from the above explanation
(44-2),44,(44+2)
42,44,46
we can check whether the above numbers are correct by adding to see whether we get 132
42+44+46=132 which are consecutive even numbers
Answer: 42, 44, and 46
Explanation: Make sure you read through the problem carefully so that you recognize that we are dealing with consecutive even numbers here.
So we can represent our numbers as follows.
X ⇒ first even integer
X + 2 ⇒ second even integer
X + 4 ⇒ third even integer
Since their sum is 132, our equation reads x + (x + 2) + (x + 4) = 132.
Solving from here, we find that x = 42.
So x + 2 is 44 and x + 4 is 46.
Find the circumference and the area of a circle with diameter 2 cm.
Use the value 3.14 for pie, and do not round your answers. Be sure to include the correct units in your answers.
Answer:
Hey There!! The question to this is: The circumference and the area of the circle are 6.28 yards and 3.14 yd² respectively. The Circumference: This is defined as the distance around a circle.
The circumference of a circle is
P = πd............................. Equation 1
Where p = circumference of the circle, d = diameter of the circle
Area: This is the region bounded by a plane surface.
The area of a circle is
A = πd²/4 .................................. Equation 2
Where A = area of the circle, π = pie = constant.
Given: d = 2 yd.
Constant: π = 3.14
Substituting these values into equation 1 and 2 respectively.
P = 3.14(2)
P = 6.28 yard.
P = 6.28 yd
and
A = 3.14(2)²/4
A = 3.14×4/4
A = 3.14 yd²
Thus the circumference and the area of the circle are 6.28 yards and 3.14 yd² respectively.

Keith's height and his nephews height was at a ratio of 15:7 then, keith's Height increased by 16% and his nephews height doubled. If Keith is now 34cm taller than his nephew, what is their total current height?
Answer:
314 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
If Keith's height is 15x and his nephew's height is 7x, we can write the following equation:
1.16 * 15x = 34 + 7x * 2 -- (We get the 1.16 from the 16% increase)
17.4x = 34 + 14x
3.4x = 34
x = 10 so Keith's current height is 1.16 * 15 * 10 = 174 cm and his nephew's height is 174 - 34 = 140 cm for a total current height of 174 + 140 = 314 cm.

Two six-sided fair dice are rolled. The probability that at least one number is odd and the sum of the two numbers is even is *blank . The probability that exactly one number is 6 and the product of the two numbers is at most 15 is * blank .
Answer:
1/4
1/3
Step-by-step explanation:
If one number is odd, then the other number must also be odd in order for the sum to be even. There are 3 odd numbers per dice, so the probability is (3/6)² = 1/4.
If one number is 6, the other number must be 1 or 2 for the product to be at most 15. The probability is 2/6 = 1/3.

1. Draw the graph of f(x) = cos x for 0 I know how to construct the graph but I don’t know how to get the figures. Please help
Answer:
Please refer to the attached figure.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the function:
[tex]f(x) =cosx \ where\ \{0^\circ\leq x\leq 360^\circ\}[/tex]
OR, the given function can also be written as:
[tex]y = f(x) = cosx[/tex]
We know that graph of cosine is a wave.
and the range of cosine function is [-1, 1]
First of all, let us have a table of values at major values of x.
[tex]x = 0, f(x) = 1\\x = 90, f(x) = 0\\x = 180, f(x) = -1\\x = 270, f(x) = 0\\x = 360, f(x) = 1[/tex]
So, the table of values for f(x) is:
[tex]\begin{center}\begin{tabular}{ c c }x & cosx \\0 & 1 \\90 & 0\\180 & -1\\270 & 0\\360 & 1\\\end{tabular}\end{center}[/tex]
Let us mark these points on the xy coordinate axis where x axis represents value of x and y axis represents value of [tex]f(x) = cosx[/tex] and then join the points using a wave.

Write an equation for a line on the graph that passes through the points (0.4) and (12,16)
Answer:
[tex] y = x + 4 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the two-point form of the equation of a line.
[tex] y - y_1 = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}(x - x_1) [/tex]
[tex] y - 4 = \dfrac{16 - 4}{12 - 0}(x - 0) [/tex]
[tex] y - 4 = \dfrac{12}{12}x [/tex]
[tex] y - 4 = x [/tex]
[tex] y = x + 4 [/tex]
Answer:
y = x + 4
Step-by-step explanation:
An equation for a line looks like:
=> y = mx +b
=> In this equation "m" is the slope.
=> "b" is the y-intercept.
To find the slope:
=> y/x - y1/x1
=> 16/12 - 4/0
=> 16 -4 / 12 - 0
=> 12 / 12
=> 1
So, the slope is 1.
Now our equation looks like:
y = 1x + b
=> y = x + b
Let's take some the values of "x" and "y" of (0,4)
So, our now look like:
=> 4 = 1 (0) + b
=> 4 = b
So, b (y-intercept) = 4
Now, our final equation is:
=> y = x + 4

Two co-interior angles
formed between the
two parallel lines are in the ratio of 11.7.
Find the measures
of angles
Answer:
110° and 70°
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles are supplementary, thus sum to 180°
sum the parts of the ratio, 11 + 7 = 18
divide 180° by 18 to find the value of one part of the ratio
180° ÷ 18 = 10° ← value of 1 part of the ratio
Thus
11 parts = 11× 10° = 110°
7 parts = 7 × 10° = 70°
The angles are 110° and 70°
