Which value of x makes the equation 0.5(x + 15) = 2 + 0.75(x - 4) true?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(x+15) = 2 + \frac{3}{4}(x-4)[/tex]

To make this easier, to get ride of the fractions, we can multiply both sides by 4

[tex]2(x+15) = 8 + 3(x-4)[/tex]

now use the distributive property

[tex]2x + 30 = 8 + 3x - 12\\[/tex]

now we want to isolate x to one side and isolate all the constants to the other

[tex]2x - 3x = 8 - 12 - 30\\[/tex]

now simplify

[tex]-x = -34\\x = 34[/tex]

to test, we can plug in back to the original

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(34+15) = \frac{49}{2}\\\frac{8}{4} + \frac{3}{4}(34-4) = \frac{8}{4} + \frac{90}{4} = \frac{98}{4} = \frac{49}{2}[/tex]

it works

There are 6 people in George's family. How much did George's mom pay for tickets? Show how you found your solution.

Answers

Answer:

$75

Step-by-step explanation:

To find out how much George's mom paid for the 6 tickets, first find the unit rate, that is cost per ticket.

The unit rate/constant of proportionality between cost of tickets (y) and number of tickets (x) can be calculated using the coordinates of any points on the graph.

Using (4, 50), this means that 4 tickets cost $50.

Unit rate/constant of proportionality = y/x = 50/4 = 12.5

This means a ticket costs $12.5.

Therefore, 6 tickets would cost:

6 tickets × $12.5 = $75.

The price of a DVD is $24.00 plus 8% sales tax.What is the sales tax on this DVD in dollars and cents?
A) 25
B) 0.8
C) 1.92
D) 30

Answers

Answer:

Your answer is C) 1.92

Hope this helps ^_^

Answer:

Sales tax is $1.92 or 192 cents.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the price of a DVD is $24.00 plus 8% sales tax.

we have to find the sales tax on this DVD in dollars and cents.

The sales tax is 8% can be calculated as

8/100 X $24

1.92

In cents

as one dollar equals 100 cents

∴ 1.92 dollar = $1.92 = 192 cents

Hence, sales tax is $1.92 or 192 cents.

So your answer is C!!

identify an equation in slope-intercept form the line parallel to y=-3x+7that passes through (2,-4)

Answers

Answer:

y=-3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

Same slope = parallel. You can aso double check this answer by either graphing using the desmos online graphing calculator or by plugging in the point into the equation y = -3(2) + 2 --> y = -6 + 2 --> y = -4, so we are correct.

Answer:

y=-3x+2

Step-by-step explanation:

In this equation the slope is the same as the original equation (-3), but has a different y-intercept meaning that this line is parallel. As for satisfying the requirement that the line is parallel and passes through (2,-4), I plugged the coordinates into the equation y=-3x+b to get  -4=-3(2)+b, and then found what b would have to equal to make the equation true.

BD bisects m m Find m

Answers

The text of the question is not visible in the answering window. I'll reproduce it here:

BD bisects <ABC.

m <ABD= 2.5x + 8.6

m<CBD = 3.5x - 3.4

Find m<ABC

Answer:

[tex]m\angle ABC = 77.2^\circ[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have an angle ABC and a line BD bisecting it.

If an angle is bisected, then the two formed angles are congruent, that is

[tex]m\angle ABD=m\angle CBD[/tex]

Substituting the algebraic expressions for both angles:

[tex]2.5x + 8.6=3.5x - 3.4[/tex]

Subtracting 8.6 and 3.5x:

[tex]2.5x - 3.5x = -8.6 - 3.4[/tex]

Operating:

[tex]-x = -12[/tex]

[tex]x = 12[/tex]

The two angles are:

[tex]m\angle ABD=2.5x + 8.6=2.5(12) + 8.6=38.6^\circ[/tex]

[tex]m\angle CBD=3.5x - 3.4 = 38.6^\circ[/tex]

As expected, both angles have the same measure.

The measure of the total angle ABC is twice any of those:

[tex]m\angle ABC = 2*38.6^\circ=77.2^\circ[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{m\angle ABC = 77.2^\circ}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

The third choice

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to find the slope and y-intercept of the line and then put it into y = mx = b form. To find the slope, pick a point on the line; I will use (-2, 5); count how many units up you need to go to get to the next point on the line, which in this case it would be 3. The count how many to the right or left you would need to go, which is 1 to the left. Moving left means a negative, so it is -1. Your slope fraction would be [tex]\frac{3}{-1}[/tex] , since slope is rise over run. You can sub this fraction in for m in y = mx + b, which will give you a revised equation of y = -3x = b. To find the y intercept, or b, just find the point where the line crosses the y-axis, which is -1. So, the equation is now y = -3x - 1.The correct answer is third choice.
