Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

(9+15) ÷ 3 + 2 = 10

Answer:

(0,2) and (1,14)

Graph is attached.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us find  y intercept

When x=0, y  = f(x) =2

Hence one point is (0,2)

Other point is let x = 1,

y =12(1)+2 =14

(1,14) (0,2) are plotted and joined.

Graph is attached.

Copy down y = 2x - 8.  Note that any line parallel to this will have exactly the same form,  although the constant (representing the y-intercept) may be different.

Knowing that this line passes through (3,10), all we have to do is find the value of the constant of this new, parallel line.  Substitute 10 for y and 3 for x, obtaining 10 = 2(3) + b.  Then 10-6 = b, or b = 4, and:

y =2x + 4 (answer).  Again, note how the form of this new equation is exactly the same as the form of the given equation; only the constant (the y-intercept) is different.

Answer:

y=2x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation we have is y=2x-8, so we subsitute the values and 8 is equal to b. After you substitue you solve it. b=4. So, the answer is y=2x+4

increasing the other side by 2 is expressed as (x + 2 ) ← width

the area of new patio = (10 - 2 )(10 + 2) 8 × 12 = 96 ft²

Answer: A. lw = (x + 2)(x – 2); 96 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Stephon has a square brick patio. He wants to reduce the width by 2 feet and increase the length by 2 feet.

Let x be the side-length of the patio, then

The length of the patio after change = x+2

The width of the patio  after change = x-2

Then the area of the patio is given by :-

[tex]A=lw\\\Rightarrow\ A=(x+2)(x-2)[/tex]

If the original patio measures 10 feet by 10 feet.

Then the area of the patio= [tex](10+2)(10-2)=(12)(8)=96[/tex] square feet.

Hence, A is the right answer.

Remark

Answer: The second one. The second step removes the brackets on the right. It uses the distributive property which puts back the common factor that was taken out of the two terms 6x and 24. Quite often the distributive property is useful when presenting a problem to be solved.

The associative property is more of an order thing and that is very useful sometimes as well what it says is that if you have three numbers a + b + c the order which you combine things does not matter.

For example 3 + 4 + 5 could be combined as 3 + 4 = 7;  7 + 5 = 12 or 3 + 5 = 8, 8 + 4 = 12.  

The associative property is useful when adding fractions.

Correctly written, your identity would tell you ...

... 54 = (sum of integers)·3 . . . . . simplify

... sum of integers = 54/3 . . . . . . divide by the coefficient of the variable

... sum of integers = 18

Put 5 where x is in the equation and do the arithmetic.

y = 1.923×3.772⁵ ≈ 1468.377444

The most appropriate answer is ...

... D. 1468

Answer:

the value of y when x= 5 is 1468

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose the exponential regression equation for some data is given by y=1.923*3.772^x

We need to find out the value of y when x= 5

Plug in 5 for x  and find out y

y=1.923*3.772^x

y=1.923*3.772^5=1468.37744

So the value of y when x= 5 is 1468

b) C(100, 98) = 100!/(98!×2!) = 100*99/2 = 4950

c) C(100, 2) = 100!/(2!×98!) = 4950 . . . . same as  (b)

C

given 1 /( 3 + √2 )

then rationalise the denominator by multiplying the numerator/ denominator by the conjugate of the denominator

the conjugate of 3 + √2 is 3 - √2

1 / (3 + √2 ) × (3 - √2 ) / (3 - √2 )

= (3 - √2 ) /( 9 - 2 ) = (3 - √2 ) / 7

The fraction [tex]\frac{1}{3+\sqrt{2}}[/tex] can be written as [tex]\frac{3-\sqrt 2}{7}[/tex]. Option C is correct.

Fraction simplification is a method of fraction reduction that entails making a fraction as simple as possible.

This is accomplished by dividing the numerator and denominator by the biggest integer that divides both integers exactly.

Given fraction;

[tex]\frac{1}{3+\sqrt{2}}[/tex]

Multiplying the numerator and denominator by the conjugate of the denominator will rationalize the denominator;

The conjugate of the denominator (3 + √2) is 3 - √2;

Apply the rationalization of fraction;

[tex]\frac{1}{3+\sqrt{2}} \\\ \frac{1}{3+\sqrt{2}} \times \frac{3-\sqrt2}{3-\sqrt 2} \\\\ \frac{3-\sqrt 2}{9-2} \\\\\ \frac{3-\sqrt 2}{7}[/tex]

Hence option C is correct.

These are three equations and three answers.

Answers:

Explanation:

Equation A: 20 - 4x = 12 - x + 8 - 3x

The objective is clearing the unknown, which is to isolate it in one side of the equation.

These are the steps and properties that you need to use:

1.  Combine like terms on right side:

20 - 4x  = 20 - 4x

2. Use addition property of equality (add 4x on each side).

20 = 20 ↔ identity

Conclusion: you have gotten a condition that is always true, no matter the value of x, which means that the equation has infinite solutions and it is an identity.

Equation B: 5x + 4x - 3  =  24 + 8x (note that I placed the equal sign as it was missing)

1.  Combine like terms on each side:

9x - 3 = 24 + 8x

2. Subtraction property and addition propertiy of equality (subtract 8x and add + 3 on both sides)

x = 27 ↔ solution (neither contradiction nor identity)

Conclusion: the solution is x = 27.

Equation C: 5x + 6 = 2x + 6 + 3x - 15 (note that I placed the equal signs as it was missing)

1. Comitne like terms on the right side:

5x + 6 = 5x - 9

2. Subtraction property of equality (subtract 5x from each side)

6 = - 9 ↔ contradiction

Conclusion: the equation does not have a solution since the final equality is always false (a condradiction or absurd).

For your information, when the variable (x) dissapears and fhe final equality is always true (for example 0 = 0, or 20 = 20), the equation is an identity.

A) 20-4x=12-x+8-3x

Bring all x values at one side and all numerical values to the other side of the equal sign and solve. Also, do not forget to change the sign when you change the side.

-4x + x + 3x = -20 + 12 + 8

-4x + 4x = -20 + 20

0 =0 No solution

B) 5x+4x-3+24+8x

this expression can only be simplified to 17x + 21 and not solved because there is no equal sign here

C) 5x +6+2x+6+3x-15

this expression can only be simplified to 10x - 3 and not solved because there is no equal sign here

Also, neither of these is an identity or contraction.

Answer:

  C.  -20

Step by step explanation:

It appears you want the value of the expression -5² +8|-1| +(-3).

The order of operations tells us that the first step is to evaluate expressions in parentheses. Here, the absolute value symbols effectively serve as parentheses, so we start there.

|-1| signifies the absolute value of -1, its magnitude, or positive value. That simplifies to 1. So, your expression is ...

  -5² +8·1 -3

The next step is to evaluate the term with an exponent: -5² = -(5·5) = -25.

  = -25 +8·1 -3

Now, we perform the multiplication:

  = -25 +8 -3

And finally, the addition/subtraction

  = -17 -3

  = -20

Additional comment

The expression you show in the problem statement looks like the first term is negative fifty-two. That is very different from negative five squared. An exponent is indicated using a caret (^), as -5^2, or using a superscript font, as -5². Please be careful to use appropriate math symbols where exponents are involved.

Answer:

[tex]10 ^ {3m-2n} = 10 ^ z[/tex]

Where z = 3m-2n

Step-by-step explanation:

An important mathematical property about the powers is that when powers of equal base are divided, the same base is placed and the exponents are subtracted.

Then we can write 1000m and 100n as powers of the same base:

[tex]1000 ^ m = (10 ^ 3) ^ m = 10 ^ {3m}\\ 100 ^ n = (10 ^ 2) ^ n = 10 ^ {2n}[/tex]

Now we perform the division of powers of the same base (10)

[tex]\frac{10 ^ {3m}}{10 ^ {2n}} = 10 ^ {3m-2n}[/tex]

Finally

 [tex]10 ^ {3m-2n} = 10 ^ z[/tex]

Where z = 3m-2n

To express z in terms of m and n, rewrite the equation: 1000m / 100n = 10z. Then, simplify to 100m / 10n = z. So, z can be expressed as 10m/n.

The given equation is 1000m divided by 100n equals to 10z. To express z in terms of m and n, we need to isolate z. Let's proceed step by step:

So, z can be expressed as 10m/n.

After the 10% discount on marked price (P), the selling price is ...

... P×(100% -10%) = 0.90P

After a markup off 35% on cost, the value is

... $70×(100% +35%) = 1.35×$70 = $94.50

The retailer wants these two values to be equal:

... 0.90P = $94.50

... P = $94.50/0.90 = $105.00 . . . . . divide by the coefficient of P

The marked price should be $105.00.

To make a 35% profit on the cost, the retailer should mark the sunglasses at a price of $85.05.

To determine the price at which the retailer should mark the sunglasses, we need to calculate the original price and then apply the discount. First, let's find the 35% profit on the cost, which is $70. 35% of $70 is 0.35 * 70 = $24.50.

To make a profit of $24.50, the original price should be $70 + $24.50 = $94.50. To sell the sunglasses at a 10% discount, the marked price will be 90% of $94.50. 90% of $94.50 is 0.90 * 94.50 = $85.05.

Therefore, the retailer should mark the sunglasses at a price of $85.05.
