-8p - 10 = -10p + 10

Answers

Answer 1

In order to solve this, first add 10p on both sides of the equation to get the variable on one side only.

[tex]-8p-10=-10p+10[/tex]

[tex]-8p+10p-10=-10p+10p+10[/tex]

[tex]2p-10=10[/tex]

Now add 10 on both sides of the equation.

[tex]2p-10+10=10+10[/tex]

[tex]2p=20[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2 for x.

[tex]\frac{2p}{2}[/tex]=[tex]\frac{20}{2}[/tex]

[tex]p=10[/tex]

Answer 2

Hello!

Answer: ⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒ p=10

Step-by-step explanation:

First you had to add by 10 from both sides of equation.

[tex]-8p-10+10=-10p+10+10[/tex]

Simplify.

[tex]-8p=-10p+20[/tex]

Add by 10p from both sides of equation.

[tex]-8p+10p=-10p+20+10p[/tex]

Simplify.

[tex]2p=20[/tex]

Divide by 2 from both sides of equation.

[tex]\frac{2p}{2}=\frac{20}{2}[/tex]

Simplify.

[tex]p=10[/tex]

the length of a rectangle is 3 times the width. the area is 27 square centimeters. What is the length?

Answers

Hello.

The answer is: 24

length=3*width, this can be written as 3w

area=27 sq cm

Formula for the area of a rectangle=27 (area)= 3w (length) * w (width)

27=3w^2

then divide both sides by 3: 9=w^2

take the square root of both sides to get: w=3

Now that we know what the width is, we can substitute that and find the length: 3w= 3*3=24

HELP!!!!! The measure of the angle’s supplement is 20 degrees more than three times that of its complement. Find the measure of the angle described. The measure of the angle is?

Answers

By solving a linear equation, conclude that the measure of our angle is 55 degrees.

How to find the measure of the angle described?

We know that two angles A and B are supplementary if their measures add up to 180°, then:

A + B  = 180°

And two angles are complementary if their measures add up to 90°.

A + B = 90°

Now, let's define A as our angle, B as the supplement, and C as the complement, then we can write:

A + B = 180°

A + C = 90°

We know that B is 20° more than 3 times the complement, then we can write:

B = 20° + 3*C

Usuing the two equations above we can rewrite:

B = 180° - A

C = 90° - A

Replacing that above, we get:

(180° - A) = 20° + 3*( 90° - A)

We need to solve this linear equation for A.

180° - A = 20° + 270° - 3*A

3*A - A = 20° + 270° - 180°

2*A = 110°

A = 110°/2 = 55°

We conclude that the measure of our angle is 55 degrees.

Which statement is true about the end behavior of the graphed function? The graph and choices are attached.

Answers

The correct answer is A) as the x values go to positive infinity, then the graph goes to negative infinity.

We can tell this by looking at the graph values as x goes up. You'll notice, as we get higher and higher, the graph disappears down. This means it is heading towards negative infinity for the rest of the graph.

Answer:

The statement  which is true about the end behavior of the graphed function is:

As the x-value goes to positive infinity , the function's value go to minus infinity.       Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the end behavior of the function is the value where it approaches when x tends to plus infinity and minus infinity.

 From the graph of the function we see that the graph first decreases continuously and then it increases and again it decreases to minus infinity.

Also,

when x → -∞ we see that  f(x) → ∞

and when  x → ∞ then f(x) → -∞

As the function has opposite behavior in both the directions this means that the function is odd.

At x=0 the value of function is: -2

The difference between two numbers is 15. If 8 is added to twice the greater number, the result is 4 less than 3 times the lesser number. Find the two numbers.

Answers

Answer:


Step-by-step explanation:

Let [tex] x[/tex] be the greater number and [tex] y [/tex] be the smaller number. We know that their difference is 15, so we have

[tex] x-y=15 [/tex]

Then, we have the following information: if we add twice the greater (2x) and 8 (2x+8), the result is 3 times the lesser (3y) minus four (3y-4). So, we have

[tex] 2x+8 = 3y-4 \iff 2x-3y = -12 [/tex]

So, we have the follwing system:

[tex] \begin{cases} x-y=15\\2x-3y = -12\end{cases} [/tex]

From the first equation, we can derive [tex] x = y+15 [/tex], and substitute this expression in the second equation to get

[tex] 2(y+15)-3y = -12 \iff 2y + 30 -3y = -12 \iff -y = -42 \iff y = 42 [/tex]

Substitute this value for y in the first equation to get

[tex] x-42=15 \iff x=15+42 \iff x = 57 [/tex]

Firstly, we need to write down the information given in the form of algebraic equations. We can represent our two unknown numbers, the greater and the lesser, as x and y respectively.

From the given information, we can form two equations. The first equation is from "the difference between the two numbers is 15", which gives us x - y = 15, where x is the larger number and y is the smaller one.

Also, we know that "If 8 is added to twice the greater number, the result is 4 less than 3 times the lesser number", this gives us the second equation: 2*x + 8 = 3*y - 4.

We now have a system of two equations that we can solve simultaneously:

1) x - y = 15
2) 2*x + 8 = 3*y - 4

To make it easier, let's multiply the first equation by 2, which gives us 2*x - 2*y = 30.

Now subtract the second equation (2*x + 8 = 3*y - 4) from the first (2*x - 2*y = 30), it yields: -2*y - 3*y = 30 - (-4 - 8).

This simplifies to -5y = 30 + 4 + 8, or -5*y = 42.

To get the value of y, divide by -5, therefore y = -42 / -5 = 42.

Now to find x, we can substitute y = 42 in the first equation (x - y = 15), so we get x = 42 + 15 = 57.

Hence, the greater number is 57 and the lesser number is 42.

A.Put each person's name on a separate piece of paper in a bag. Randomly draw the winning name; and D.Roll a number cube. If it lands on an even number, Roddy wins. If it lands on an odd number, Scott wins.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order for it to be a fair decision, both boys have to have an equal chance of being selected.

For choice A, drawing their names from a bag, both names are equally likely to be chosen; that makes this fair.

For choice B, there is 1 way to get both heads when flipping a coin.  There are 2 ways to get heads and tails when flipping a coin.  This gives Scott a greater chance, so this is not fair.

For choice C, there are 2 ways to get a 1 or a 2.  There are 4 ways to get anything else.  This gives Scott a greater chance, so this is not fair.

For choice D, there are 3 even numbers and 3 odd numbers.  Both boys have an equal chance, so this is fair.

Kyle is a football fan because he is from Texas
Final answer:

The logic of a conditional statement ('if-then') is followed here. Given 'If Kyle is from Texas, then he is a football fan' and 'Kyle is from Texas', we can validly conclude 'Kyle is a football fan'.

Explanation:

The statement 'if Kyle is from Texas then he is a football fan' is known as a conditional statement in logic. Conditional statements have an 'if' part (the hypothesis) and a 'then' part (the conclusion). In this case, the hypothesis is 'Kyle is from Texas' and the conclusion is 'he is a football fan'. The statement 'Kyle is from Texas' confirms the hypothesis. Therefore, following the logic of the conditional statement, we can conclude that 'Kyle is a football fan'. This conclusion is based on the given condition, in real life, of course, being from Texas doesn't automatically make someone a football fan, but within the confines of this logic, it does.

1. Find the length of a rectangular lot with a perimeter of 124 feet if the length is two more than twice the width.

2. Find the length of a rectangular lot with a perimeter of 50 feet if the length is five more than the width.

Answers

ANSWER TO QUESTION 1


Let the width be
[tex]w[/tex]
units.



Twice the width will be

[tex]2w[/tex]

Two more than twice the width will be

[tex]2w + 2[/tex]



We were told that the length is 2 more than twice the width. This means that,

[tex]l = 2w + 2[/tex]


This implies that,

[tex]w = \frac{l - 2}{2} - - eqn(1)[/tex]


The formula for finding the perimeter of a rectangle is given by:


[tex]perimeter = 2w + 2l - - eqn(2)[/tex]




We substitute 124 for the perimeter and equation (1) into equation (2)



[tex]124 = 2( \frac{l - 2}{2} ) + 2l[/tex]


This implies that,

[tex]124 = l - 2 + 2l[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow 124 + 2 = l + 2l[/tex]



[tex]\Rightarrow 126 = 3l[/tex]




We divide both sides by 3 to obtain,


[tex]l = 42[/tex]

Therefore the length is 42 feet.





ANSWER TO QUESTION 2


Let the width be
[tex]w[/tex]


units.


Five more than the width will be


[tex]w + 5[/tex]


We were told that the length is 5 more than the width. This means that,


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


We make w the subject to obtain,


[tex]w = l - 5 - - eqn(1)[/tex]



The perimeter is given by,

[tex]perimeter = 2w + 2l - - eqn(2)[/tex]

We substitute 50 for the perimeter and equation (1) into equation (2)


[tex]50 = 2(l - 5) + 2l[/tex]

Dividing through by 2 gives,


[tex]25 = l - 5 + l[/tex]



[tex]\Rightarrow 25 + 5 = l + l[/tex]



[tex]\Rightarrow 30 = 2l[/tex]


We divide both sides by 2 to get,

[tex]l = 15[/tex]


Therefore the length is 15 feet.

A restaurant sells 330 sandwiches each day. For each $0.25 decrease in price, the restaurant sells about 15 more sandwiches. How much should the restaurant charge to maximize daily revenue? What is the maximum daily revenue? Each sandwich is 6$ beforehand...

Answers

Answer:

The value that optimizes this inequality is x = 1, since it represents the vertex of the parabola. Therefore, $ 0.25 is the price that must be discounted to maximize revenues

With x = 1 the value of the new income will be = $ 1983.75

Step-by-step explanation:

Revenue with the current sale price is:

6 * 330 = $ 1980

Let's call x the number of times the price of a sandwich decreases, that is, if x = 1 then the price of the sandwich decreases by $ 0.25

Then, the price would be:

Price = (6-0.25x)

Then, if the price is decreased by a factor of x, then the number of sandwiches sold will increase by a factor of 15x. Therefore the number of clients will be:

Sale = (330 + 15x)

Now we need an equation for income. The income will be equal to the sale price, for the number of sandwiches sold

Income = price * sale

Income = (6-0.25x) (330 + 15x)

In order for this restaurant pricing model to be profitable, the revenues with the new sale price must be greater than the revenues with the sale price of $ 6. So:

New income> current income.

[tex](6-0.25x) * (330 + 15x)> 330 * 6\\ (6-0.25x) * (330 + 15x)> 1980[/tex]

The left side of the inequality represents a parabola:

[tex]-3,750x ^ 2 + 7.5x + 1980> 1980[/tex]

The value that optimizes this inequality is x = 1, since it represents the vertex of the parabola. Therefore, $ 0.25 is the price that must be discounted to maximize revenues

The attached image shows the region that satisfies the proposed inequality and the vertex of the parabola:

[tex]x = \frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]

With x = 1 the value of the new income will be = $ 1983.75

Starting at sea level, a submarine descended at a constant rate to a depth of −56 mile relative to sea level in 4 minutes.

What was the submarine's depth relative to sea level after the first minute?

Enter your answer in the box as a fraction in simplest form.

Answers

-56mi in 4 minutes is (56mi/4) in 1 minutes = 14mi/minute.

Therefore, the submarine was 14 miles below sea level after 1 minute.

Answer:

The submarine's depth relative to sea level after the first minute is -14 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the provided information.

Starting at sea level, a submarine descended at a constant rate to a depth of −56 mile relative to sea level in 4 minutes.

This can be written as:

[tex]-56\ miles=4\ minutes[/tex]

To find the submarine's depth relative to sea level after the first minute, divide both the sides by 4.

[tex]\frac{-56}{4}\ miles=\frac{4}{4}\ minutes[/tex]

[tex]-14\ miles=1\ minutes[/tex]

Hence, the submarine's depth relative to sea level after the first minute is -14 miles.

A rental car agency charges $240 per week plus $0.25 per mile to rent a car. The charge for a minivan is $180 per week plus $0.40 per mile. After how many miles is the total charge for each vehicle the same?

Answers

Rental car agency charge:

Let's assume number of miles in as week as x miles

and total rent as R(x)

A rental car agency charges $240 per week plus $0.25 per mile to rent a car

so, we get equation as

[tex]R(x)=240+0.25x[/tex]

Minivan charge:

Let's assume number of miles in as week as 'x' hours

and total charge of minivan as M(x)

The charge for a minivan is $180 per week plus $0.40 per mile

so, we get

[tex]M(x)=180+0.40x[/tex]

now, we can set them equal

and then we can solve for x

[tex]240+0.25x=180+0.40x[/tex]

Subtract both sides by 0.25x

[tex]240+0.25x-0.25x=180+0.40x-0.25x[/tex]

[tex]240=180+0.15x[/tex]

Subtract both sides by 180

[tex]240-180=180+0.15x-180[/tex]

[tex]60=0.15x[/tex]

divide both sides by 0.15

and we get

[tex]x=400 miles/tex]............Answer


Final answer:

The total charge for each vehicle, a car and a minivan, is the same when 400 miles are driven.

Explanation:

The subject you're dealing with here is algebra, specifically, finding the point where two linear functions intersect which shows when the cost of renting the two different vehicles will be the same.

Let's use the formula for the cost of each vehicle, where C is the total cost, W is the flat weekly charge, M is the price per mile, and X is the number of miles driven:

For the car: C = $240W + $0.25M X

For the minivan: C = $180W + $0.40M X

Set these two equations equal to each other to solve for X, the number of miles driven when the two costs are equal:

$240W + $0.25M X = $180W + $0.40M X

Subtracting $180W from both sides and $0.25M X from both sides, you get:

$60W = $0.15M X

Finally, divide by $0.15M to solve for X:

X = $60W/$0.15M = 400 miles

Therefore, the total charge for each vehicle is the same when 400 miles are driven.
