Suppose x = 7 is a solution to the equation 4x − 2(x + a) = 8. Find the value of a that makes the equation true.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a=6 x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

4x1=4 4-2=2

2+6=8

Answer 2

Answer:

a=3 i think, sorry if i'm wrong

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-2(x+a)=8     ~parenthesis first.

4*7-14-2a=8     ~4 times 7= 28 and just bring down the rest.

28-14-2a=8      ~ add 14 to negative 14 and 8, the positive and negative 14 would cancel out each other.

28-2a=22        ~ subtract 28 from both positive 28 and 22.

-2a=-6             ~ divide by 2 on both sides.

  a=3               ~ The reason why it is 3 is because negative 2 times positive 3 equals  negative 6.

Meg is going to make a cake for her mother's birthday. It will take 1 hour and 15 minutes to make the cake batter, and the cake needs to bake in the oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes. If Meg wants the cake to be out of the oven by 11:00 A.M., what is the latest time she can start making the cake batter? Include A.M. or P.M. in your answer (for example, 11:58 A.M.).

Answers

Answer:

10:11 A.M

Step-by-step explanation:

11:00 A.M is 11 hours from 12 A.M (12 midnight)

11:00 A.M is 11 hours from 12 A.M (12 midnight)1 hour 29 minutes + 1 hour 15 minutes

11:00 A.M is 11 hours from 12 A.M (12 midnight)1 hour 29 minutes + 1 hour 15 minutes= 2 hours 49 minutes

11:00 A.M is 11 hours from 12 A.M (12 midnight)1 hour 29 minutes + 1 hour 15 minutes= 2 hours 49 minutes11 hours - 2 hours 49 minutes

11:00 A.M is 11 hours from 12 A.M (12 midnight)1 hour 29 minutes + 1 hour 15 minutes= 2 hours 49 minutes11 hours - 2 hours 49 minutes= 10 hours 11 minutes = 10:11 A.M

Therefore, she can start making the cake batter from 10:11 A.M.

What is unit of Measurement?

A unit of measurement is a definite magnitude of a quantity, defined and adopted by convention or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same kind of quantity.

Given that Meg is going to make a cake for her mother's birthday.

The time to bake make the cake batter is 1 hour 15 minutes.

This we can take only in minutes

1 hour = 60 minutes

So 60+15 =75 minutes to make the batter.

the cake needs to bake in the oven for 1 hour and 20 minutes

60+20=80 minutes.

Meg wants the cake to be out of the oven by 11:00 A.M.

We need to find the latest time to start the cake.

Let us find the total time to make the cake

80+75=155

155 minutes means 2 hrs 35 minutes.

Now we have to remove 2 hrs 35 minutes from 11:00 am

Which 9 hours 25 minutes.

Hence, 9:25 am is the latest time she can start making the cake batter

Just rotate it 90 degrees clockwise like this

Answer:

Solution : (- 9, - 3)

Step-by-step explanation:

Approach 1 : Imagine that this point (3, - 9) is rotated 90 degrees clockwise. We know that this point lies in the fourth quadrant, so if it is rotated 90 degrees, you can imagine the x - coordinate will be greater than the y - coordinate, if you take their absolute value(s). Remember that the new coordinates will also lie in the third quadrant. Based on these requirements we have the resulting point (- 9, - 3) or option c.

________________________________________

Approach 2 : There is another approach to this, a more exact approach.

Rotation of axis, θ : (x, y) --> (X, Y)

X = xcos(θ) + ysin(θ),

Y = - xsin(θ) + ycos(θ)

Here θ = 90 degrees. Substitute and solve for the exact coordinates.

X = 3cos(90) + - 9sin(90) = 3cos(90) - 9sin(90) = 3 * 0 - 9 * 1 = - 9,

Y = - 3sin(90) + - 9cos(90) = - 3sin(90) - 9cos(90) = - 3 * 1 - 9 * 0 = - 3

As you can see our solution is the same, (- 9, - 3), or option c.

Answer:

x = 8 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by calculating the length of the two squares attached to the triangle.

From the question given above, the areas of the two square are the same i.e 32 units². Therefore, the length of the two square will be the same.

Now, we shall determine the length of the square as follow:

Area of square (A) = 32 units²

Length (L) =?

Area of square (A) = Length (L) × Length (L)

A = L × L

A = L²

32 = L²

Take the square root of both side

L = √32 units

Therefore, the length of the square is √32 units. This implies that the length of both side of the triangle is √32 units

Now, we shall determine the value of x using pythagoras theory.

From the diagram above we can see that x is the Hypothenus i.e the longest side. Thus, the value of x can be obtained as follow:

x² = (√32)² + (√32)²

x² = 32 + 32

x² = 64

Take the square root of both side

x = √64

x = 8 units.

Therefore, the value of x is 8 units.

please help!!! the study conducted was 6 days long: there was 72mm of plant food and it decreased an equal amount each day.

Answers

Answer:

[tex] f(x) = 72 - 12x [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

No. of days of study = 6

Amount of food to use for the 6 days = 72 mm

Given that equal amount of food was used each day, amount used per day = [tex] \frac{72}{6} = 12 mm [/tex]

This would enable us derive a function for the amount of food remaining f(x), which can be expressed as a function of the number of days that have passed, (x).

Thus, we would have:

[tex] f(x) = 72 - 12x [/tex]

Let's check if this equation expresses the relation of the function well.

At the end of day 1, if we used, 12mm, we would have 72 - 12 = 60mm of food remaining.

If we replace x in the equation we derived, we would get the same 60mm as the amount of food remaining.

If you try 2, 3, 4, 5 days, you'd get same thing.

At the end of the study, after the 6th day, the food would remain nothing.

Replace 6 for x in the relation function derived, you'd get a value of 0.

Match the graph with the correct equation

Answers

Answer: Choice D)

y + 2 = -(x - 4)

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

Explanation:

The slope of this line is -1 because each time we move down 2 units, we move to the right 2 units. So slope = rise/run = -2/2 = -1

The slope formula says the same thing more or less. Let's pick the two points (0,2) and (2,0) to find the slope through them

m = (y2-y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (0-2)/(2-0)

m = -2/2

m = -1

-------------

Using that slope and a point on the line, we can form the equation. We can pick any point really as long as it's on the line. However, to have it match with the answer choices, we'll have to pick the point (4,-2)

Turn to point slope form

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - y1 = -1(x - x1) ... plug in the slope

y  - (-2) = -(x - 4) ... plug in the point (x1,y1) = (4, -2)

y + 2 = -(x - 4)

If you double the amount of fluid ounces, then the amount of cups will double as well. This is a true statement.

Consider the statement "there are 8 fluid ounces in one cup" to be written as the equation

8 fluid ounces = 1 cup

16 fluid ounces = 2 cups

We must multiply both sides by the same number to keep the equation the same (keep things balanced).

Now it is given that,

Base of space = 8 feet

Height of space = 9 feet

Thus,

Area of the space = (1/2)*(base of space)*(height of space)

Area of the space = (1/2)*(8)*(9)

or, Area of the space =  (8)(9)/2

Area of the space = 36 square feet
