Equality Properties

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Equation

3(x + 1) - 2x = -6

Step 2: Solve for x

Distribute 3:                    3x + 3 - 2x = -6Combine like terms:       x + 3 = -6Isolate x:                          x = -9

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x:                    3(-9 + 1) - 2(-9) = -6Add:                                     3(-8) - 2(-9) = -6Multiply:                               -24 + 18 = -6Add:                                     -6 = -6

Here we see that -6 does indeed equal -6.

∴ x = -9 is the solution to the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

[tex]\frac{1}{A} + \frac{1}{B} =\frac{1}{12} \\\\\frac{1}{B} + \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{15}\\\\\frac{1}{A} + \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{20}\\\\[/tex]

From given equations above;

[tex]\frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{B} = \frac{1}{12}\\\\But, \frac{1}{B} =\frac{1}{15} -\frac{1}{C}\\\\ \frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{15} -\frac{1}{C}= \frac{1}{12}\\\\Also, \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{20} -\frac{1}{A} \\\\ \frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{15} -(\frac{1}{20} -\frac{1}{A})= \frac{1}{12}\\\\ \frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{15} -\frac{1}{20} +\frac{1}{A}= \frac{1}{12}\\\\ \frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{A} = \frac{1}{12} +\frac{1}{20}-\frac{1}{15}\\\\\frac{2}{A} = \frac{300+ 180-240}{3600} \\\\\frac{2}{A} =\frac{240}{3600}\\\\[/tex]

[tex]\frac{2}{A} = \frac{1}{15} \\\\A = 30 \ days[/tex]

solve for B;

[tex]\frac{1}{A} + \frac{1}{B} = \frac{1}{12}\\\\ \frac{1}{B} = \frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{A} \\\\ \frac{1}{B} = \frac{1}{12} - \frac{1}{30}\\\\ \frac{1}{B} =\frac{5-2}{60} \\\\ \frac{1}{B} =\frac{3}{60}\\\\B = 20 \ days[/tex]

Solve for C;

[tex]\frac{1}{C} =\frac{1}{20} -\frac{1}{A}\\\\ \frac{1}{C} = \frac{1}{20} -\frac{1}{30}\\\\ \frac{1}{C} =\frac{3-2}{60} \\\\ \frac{1}{C} =\frac{1}{60}\\\\C = 60 \ days[/tex]

When they work together;

[tex]\frac{1}{A} +\frac{1}{B} +\frac{1}{C} =\frac{1}{y} \\\\\frac{1}{30} +\frac{1}{20} +\frac{1}{60} = \frac{1}{y}\\\\\frac{2+ 3+ 1}{60} =\frac{1}{y}\\\\\frac{6}{60} =\frac{1}{y}\\\\y = 10\ days[/tex]

What is the value of x?
(57-5)
Your answer:
x = 15
x = 13
x = 60
ox=37

pls helpppppo

Answers

Answer:

x = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

All triangles equal 180 degrees

Since this is an equilateral triangle, all angles have the same measurement

180 degrees divided by 3 angles = 60 degrees per angle

Make an equation based on the info given:

60 = 5x - 5

Solve:

*add 5 to both sides*

65 = 5x

*divide both sides by 5*

13 = x

Answer:

9/40

Step-by-step explanation:

He needs 5/8, he already has 2/5, so still needed is 5/8-2/5.

To add or subtract fractions, the denominators must be equal.

Simplest approach is to multiply them. 8 times 5 is 40, so 40 is the new denominator we need for both fractions.

So first we convert 5/8 to 25/40.

Then we convert 2/5 to 16/40.

Now we can subtract them:

25/40 - 16/40 = 9/40.

9/40 cannot be simplified so this is the final answer.

There are some basic rules you need to know to work with fractions. If above work is too fast, comment below for deeper explanation.

The answer is 9/40.

All you need to do is subtract 5/8 - 2/5 and to do that, you would need a common denominator. So just,

5 2
— —
8 5

Multiply the two bottoms to get 40 and do the same thing with the top that you did with the bottom so....

5 x 5 = 25
— —
8 x 5 = 40

2 x 8 = 16
— —
5 x 8 = 40

Subtract 25 - 16 = 9 and keep the denominator the same so 9/40 is your answer.

Barbara plays basketball for her high school team. In her last 10 games she scored the following points: 15, 12, 12, 16, 18, 22, 16, 20, 20, 14. Determine which player had the largest range of points scored? What is the difference is the range of points between the two players?

In the form of a paragraph, explain in complete sentences the steps necessary to compute the range of the points, which team player had the largest range of points and include the final answer in your explanation. Complete your work in the space provided.

Answers

Jesse has the largest range between the two players. The difference between their ranges is 2.
Step-by-step explanation:
Jesse's range: 14
Barbara's range: 10
Range is determined by using the largest number and the smallest number in a set of integers and subtracting them. Jesse's highest number was 24, and his lowest would be 10. 24-10=14.
Barbara's highest score was 22, while her lowest was 12. 22-12=10.
subtracting Jesse's range from Barbara's range would equal 2.
(please don't cook me if this is incorrect but i'm 97% sure i'm right)

Answer:

Jesse has the largest range. To find the range you have to take the greatest value and the lowest value to find the range. Jesse's largest value is 24 points while his lowest is 10 points making his range 14 points. Barbara's highest value is 22 points while her lowest is 12 points making her range 10 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

24-10=14 Jesse

22-12=10 Barbara

what are all possible exterior angles of an isosceles triangle with a base angle of 31°

Answers

Answer:

so first we will find the interior angle:  

1 angle :  31 (given )

2 angle :31 ( the base angles of isoscles triangle are equal)

3 angle : 31 + 31 + x = 180                     ( angle sum property of triangle)

              x = 180 - 62 = 118

now the exterior angles :

1 angle : 180 - 31 = 149 ( exterior angle and the angle adjacent usually forms  a line (= 180) )

2 angle : 149 ( same reason as the first)

3 angle : 180 - 118 = 62 (  same reason as the first)

( i dont know if there is any other way, but this is one)

The hemmings borrowed $3 000 for home improvements. They repaid the loan and $600 in simple interest four years later. What simple annual interest rate did they pay

Answers

Answer:

5%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Principal = $3000

Simple Interest paid = $600

Period = 4 years

Simple interest = principal * rate * time

$600 = $3000 * rate * 4

$600 = $12000 * rate

Rate = $600 /$12000

Rate = 0.05

Hence, simple interest rate paid = (0.05 * 100%) = 5%
