Solve for x: two thirds plus one third times x equals two times x

Answers

Answer:  x = 2/5 in fraction form

In decimal form, the answer is x = 0.4

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

Work Shown:

2/3 = two thirds

2/3 + (1/3)x = 2x  is the equation you're given

Multiply every term by 3 so that we clear out the fractions

3*(2/3) + 3*(1/3)x = 3*2x

2 + x = 6x

From here, we solve for x

2 + x = 6x

2+x-x = 6x-x .... subtract x from both sides

2 = 5x

5x = 2

5x/5 = 2/5 ... divide both sides by 5

x = 2/5

x = 0.4

The solution of the expression is,

⇒ x = 0.4

What is an expression?

Mathematical expression is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

Given that;

The expression is,

''Two thirds plus one third times x equals two times x.''

Now, We can simplify as;

⇒ 2/3 + 1/3x = 2x

Solve for x as;

⇒ 2/3 = 2x - 1/3x

⇒ 2/3 = 5x/3

⇒ 2 = 5x

⇒ x = 2/5

⇒ x = 0.4

Thus, The solution of the expression is,

⇒ x = 0.4

Answers

Answer:

y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this equation, we will use conventional algebraic techniques as illustrated below.

3(y + 5) = 8y Distribute the 3.

3y + 15 = 8y Subtract 3y from both sides.

15 = 5y Rearrange the equation so the variable is on the left.

5y = 15 Divide by 5 on both sides.

y = 3

Answer:

y =3

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3\left(y+5\right)=8y\\[/tex]

Expand

[tex]\mathrm{Expand\:}3\left(y+5\right):\quad 3y+15\\\\=3y+15=8y[/tex]

Subtract 15 from both sides

[tex]3y+15-15=8y-15[/tex]

Simplify

[tex]3y=8y-15[/tex]

Subtract 8y from both sides

[tex]3y-8y=8y-15-8y[/tex]

what is the equation of the tangent drawn for f(x)=x-x^2 which is parallel to the line 4x-y-3=0
plssss help me °~°​

Answers

Answer:

y = 4x + 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

4x − y − 3 = 0

y = 4x − 3

The slope of the line is 4.

The slope of the tangent line is:

f(x) = x − x²

f'(x) = 1 − 2x

Setting the slope equal to 4:

4 = 1 − 2x

2x = -3

x = -3/2

The point on f(x) is:

f(-3/2) = -3/2 − (-3/2)²

f(-3/2) = -3/2 − 9/4

f(-3/2) = -15/4

Using point-slope form:

y − (-15/4) = 4 (x − (-3/2))

y + 15/4 = 4 (x + 3/2)

y + 15/4 = 4x + 6

y = 4x + 9/4

In the diagram, PQRS is a quadrilateral. < PQR = < PRS = 90°, /PQ/ = 3 cm , /QR/ = 4 cm and /PS/ = 13 cm, Find the area of the quadrilateral.

Answers

Answer:

36cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

From the sketched diagram of the Quadrilateral above, we have two triangles that are joined together, ∆PQR and ∆PSR

Both triangles are right angled triangles.

Step 1

We solve for ∆PQR

When solving for the sides of a right angled triangle, if two sides are given, we solve for the third sides using Pythagoras Theorem

Pythagoras Theorem =

c² = a² + b²

Where c = Longest side

For ∆PQR,

/PQ/ = 3 cm = a

/QR/ = 4 cm = b

/PR/ = c ??

c² = 3² + 4²

c² = 9 + 16

c² = 25

c = √25

c = 5cm

/PS/ = 5cm

We find the Area of this triangle using Heron's formula

= √s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)

Where s = a + b + c/2

s = 3 + 4 + 5/2

= 12/2

s = 6

Area of the ∆PQR = √6(6 - 3)(6 - 4)(6 - 5)

= √6 × 3 × 2 × 1

= √36

= 6cm²

Area of the ∆PQR

Step 2

We solve for ∆PSR. Just like in Step 1, we solve for third side not given using Pythagoras Theorem

/PS/ = 13cm = c

/PR/ = 5cm = a

/SR/ = ?? = b

c² = a² + b²

13² = 5² + b²

b² = 13² - 5²

b² = 169 - 25

b² = 144

b = √144

b = 12cm

/SR/ = 12cm

We find the Area of this triangle using Heron's formula

= √s(s - a)(s - b)(s - c)

Where s = a + b + c/2

s = 5 + 12 + 13/2

= 30/2

s = 15

Area of the ∆PSR = √15(15 - 5)(15 - 12)(15 - 13)

= √15 × 10 × 3 × 2

= √900

= 30cm²

Area of the ∆PSR = 30 cm²

Step 3

We find the Area of the Quadrilateral

Area of the Quadrilateral (PQRS)= Area of ∆PQR + Area of ∆PSR

= 6cm² + 30cm²

= 36cm²

Therefore the Area of the Quadrilateral PQRS = 36cm²

e. 10 quarters and 10 dimes
f. d + 8 = 20
g. 8d = 20​

Answers

Answer:

b.  6 dimes and 14 quartersd.  d + (d + 8) = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

If we let d represent the number of dimes, then d+8 represents the number of quarters. The total number of coins is the sum of the numbers of each:

  d +(d +8) = 20 . . . . . matches choice d

Collecting terms, we have ...

  2d +8 = 20

  d +4 = 10 . . . . . divide by 2

  d = 6 . . . . . . . . subtract 4

The kid has 6 dimes and 14 quarters. (matches choice b)

5. Mis the midpoint of CD. C has coordinates (-1,-1) and
M has coordinates (3,5). Find the coordinates of D.

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step Explanation:

4. Midpoint (M) of AB, for A(-2, -3) and B(1, 2) is given as:

[tex] M(\frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2}) [/tex]

Let [tex] A(-2, -3) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]

[tex] B(1, 2) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]

Thus:

[tex] M(\frac{-2 + 1}{2}, \frac{-3 + 2}{2}) [/tex]

[tex] M(\frac{-1}{2}, \frac{-1}{2}) [/tex]

5. Given M(3, 5) as midpoint of CD, and C(-1, -1),

let [tex] C(-1, -1) = (x_2, y_2) [/tex]

[tex] D(?, ?) = (x_1, y_1) [/tex]

[tex] M(3, 5) = (\frac{x_1 +(-1)}{2}, \frac{y_1 +(-1)}{2}) [/tex]

Rewrite the equation to find the coordinates of D

[tex] 3 = \frac{x_1 - 1}{2} [/tex] and [tex] 5 = \frac{y_1 - 1}{2} [/tex]

Solve for each:

[tex] 3 = \frac{x_1 - 1}{2} [/tex]

[tex] 3*2 = \frac{x_1 - 1}{2}*2 [/tex]

[tex] 6 = x_1 - 1 [/tex]

[tex] 6 + 1= x_1 - 1 + 1 [/tex]

[tex] 7 = x_1 [/tex]

[tex] x_1 = 7 [/tex]

[tex] 5 = \frac{y_1 - 1}{2} [/tex]

[tex] 5*2 = \frac{y_1 - 1}{2}*2 [/tex]

[tex] 10 = y_1 - 1 [/tex]

[tex] 10 + 1= y_1 - 1 + 1 [/tex]

[tex] 11 = y_1 [/tex]

[tex] y_1 = 11 [/tex]

Coordinates of D is (7, 11)
