Answer 1

Solve the equation below for X

1/3(-x + 3) = -x - 4

Answer: x = -15/2 = -7.500

Work~~

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

                    1/3*(-x+3)-(-x-4)=0

:

Rewriting the whole as an Equivalent Fraction

3.1   Subtracting a whole from a fraction

Rewrite the whole as a fraction using  3  as the denominator :

             -x - 4     (-x - 4) • 3

   -x - 4 =  ——————  =  ————————————

               1             3      

Equivalent fraction : The fraction thus generated looks different but has the same value as the whole

Common denominator : The equivalent fraction and the other fraction involved in the calculation share the same denominator

STEP

4

:

Pulling out like terms

4.1     Pull out like factors :

  -x - 4  =   -1 • (x + 4)

Adding fractions that have a common denominator :

4.2       Adding up the two equivalent fractions

Add the two equivalent fractions which now have a common denominator

Combine the numerators together, put the sum or difference over the common denominator then reduce to lowest terms if possible:

(3-x) - ((-x-4) • 3)     2x + 15

————————————————————  =  ———————

         3                  3  

Equation at the end of step

:

 2x + 15

 ———————  = 0

STEP

5

:

When a fraction equals zero :

5.1    When a fraction equals zero ...

Where a fraction equals zero, its numerator, the part which is above the fraction line, must equal zero.

Now,to get rid of the denominator, Tiger multiplys both sides of the equation by the denominator.

Here's how:

 2x+15

 ————— • 3 = 0 • 3

   3  

Now, on the left hand side, the  3  cancels out the denominator, while, on the right hand side, zero times anything is still zero.

The equation now takes the shape :

  2x+15  = 0

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

5.2      Solve  :    2x+15 = 0

Subtract  15  from both sides of the equation :

                     2x = -15

Divide both sides of the equation by 2:

                    x = -15/2 = -7.500

One solution was found :

x = -15/2 = -7.500

A rectangle length 34m x width 42m. what is the area of the rectangle

Answers

Answer: 1428m

Step-by-step explanation: The formula for a regular rectangle is l x w = A, or Length x Width = Area. So, if you replace L with 34 and W with 42, you will get your answer by multiplying the numbers

1,428m^2

34m X 42m = 1,428m^2

A sphere has a diameter of 11 inches. What is its surface area? Use 3.14 to approximate π. Round to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

Answers

Answer:

The surface area is [tex]379.94in^2[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Shape: Sphere

[tex]D= 11\ in[/tex] - -- Diameter

Required

Determine the surface area (A)

This is calculated using:

[tex]A = 4\pi r^2[/tex]

Where

[tex]r = \frac{1}{2}D[/tex]

[tex]r = \frac{1}{2}*11[/tex]

[tex]r = 5.5[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]A = 4 * 3.14 * 5.5^2[/tex]

[tex]A = 4 * 3.14 * 30.25[/tex]

[tex]A = 379.94[/tex]

Hence, the surface area is [tex]379.94in^2[/tex]

nancy lives on a corner lot. cutting across a lot that is 36 feet, and 8 ft longerthan the width.find the length and width if the lot

Answers

Answer:

The length of the lot is 13 feet, and the width is of 5 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a rectangle:

The perimeter of a rectangle of length l and width w is given by:

[tex]P = 2(l + w)[/tex]

Lot of 36 feet:

Rectangular, so [tex]P = 36[/tex]

Length 8 feet longer than the width:

This means that [tex]l = 8 + w[/tex]

Finding the width:

[tex]P = 2(l + w)[/tex]

[tex]2(8 + w + w) = 36[/tex]

[tex]16 + 4w = 36[/tex]

[tex]4w = 20[/tex]

[tex]w = \frac{20}{4}[/tex]

[tex]w = 5[/tex]

Finding the length:

[tex]l = 8 + w = 8 + 5 = 13[/tex]

The length of the lot is 13 feet, and the width is of 5 feet.

In this figure, sin(a) = 2/3
What is the value of cos(b) ?

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  C)  2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to answer the question, we must make an assumption about the given figure. We must assume it is a rectangle, so the left side and right side of the figure are the same length.

The ratio of the right side of the figure to the diagonal is sin(a). The ratio of the left side of the figure to the diagonal is cos(b). If we assume that the left and right sides are the same length, then ...

  sin(a) = 2/3 = side/diagonal = cos(b) = 2/3

_____

Additional comments

The figure does not have enough information to support our assumption. Of the answer choices, only (A) is a reasonable alternative. (The value of the cosine must be at most 1.)

The first attachment shows the figure with sin(a) = cos(b) = 2/3. The second attachment shows the figure with cos(b) = 1/3. There is nothing in the given drawing to say this is an incorrect interpretation. (Drawings cannot be assumed to be to scale.)
