60 is 2 more than the product of 5 and N

A. 60=2+5+N
B. 60=2N+5
C. 60=2+5N
D. 60=2+5/N

Answers

If 60 is 2 more than the product of 5 and N:

The product of 5 and N is when they are multiplied, so 5N is going to be part of the equation.

We know that 60 is 2 more than 5N, so 5N + 2 would be 60.

We can make an equation with this:

60 = 2 + 5N

Therefore, the equation would be 60 = 2 + 5N.

Hope this helps! :)

The equation that can be used to depict the information 60 is 2 more than the product of 5 and N will be 60 = 2 + 5N

From the information given, 60 is 2 more than the product of 5 and N and this will be written as 60 = 2 + 5N.

To further solve the equation, we can solve for N and this will be:

60 = 2 + 5N

Collect like terms

5N = 60 - 2

5N = 58

N = 58/5

N = 11.6

Therefore, the value of N will be 11.6.

In conclusion, 60 is 2 more than the product of 5 and N and this will be written as 60 = 2 + 5N.

Two cars leave a gas station at the same time, one traveling north and the other south. The northbound car travels at 50 mph. After 3 hours the cars are 345 miles apart. How fast is the southbound car traveling?

a.
60 mph
b.
65 mph
c.
70 mph
d.
75 mph

Answers

For this case we have:

We define the following variable

x : Speed of the car in South direction

By definition, we know that:

[tex]Distance = Speed * Time[/tex]

For the car in north direction:

[tex]D1 = V1 * T1\\D1 = 50mph * 3h\\D1 = 150 miles[/tex]

For the car in south direction:

[tex]D2 = V2 * T2\\D2 = x * 3\\D2 = 3x[/tex]

The distance between both cars, after 3 hours, is:

[tex]D = D1 + D2[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]345 = 150 + 3x[/tex]

Clearing x;

[tex]3x = 345-150\\3x = 195\\x = 65[/tex]

Thus, the speed of the car in the south direction is [tex]x = 65mph[/tex]

Find the value of x (3x+31)° (2x-6)°

Answers

Angle (3x+31)° and angle (2x-6)° are supplementary angles. Then the value of the variable x is 31°.

What is an angle?

The angle is the distance between the intersecting lines or surfaces. The angle is also expressed in degrees. The angle is 360 degrees for one complete spin.

Supplementary angle - Two angles are said to be supplementary angles if their sum is 180 degrees.

Angle (3x+31)° and angle (2x-6)° are supplementary angles. Then we have

(3x + 31)° + (2x - 6)° = 180°

5x + 25° = 180°

5x = 155°

x = 31°

Then the value of the variable x is 31°.

Your question was incomplete, probably the question was...

The value of  x equals 31°.

The value of (x) can be found by solving the equation formed by the two angles in the given question:

Given angles:

Angle 1: [tex](3x + 31)^\circ[/tex]Angle 2: [tex](2x - 6)^\circ[/tex]

Linear pair property:  The sum of the measures of two angles forming a linear pair is (180°).

Now,

Set up the equation: (3x + 31) + (2x - 6) = 180

=>  (3x + 2x) + (31 - 6) = 180

=> 5x + 25 = 180

Solve for (x):  5x = 155 =>  x = 31

Therefore, the value of (x) is 31°.

Find a cubic function with the given zeros. (5 points)

Answers

Final answer:

The cubic function with zeros -2, 5, and -6 is given by f(x) = (x + 2)(x - 5)(x + 6), derived from the zero-product property.

Explanation:

To find a cubic function with the given zeros of -2, 5, and -6, we can use a formula associated with the zero-product property. This property states that if a product of factors equals zero, then at least one of the factors has to be equal to zero. So if -2, 5, and -6 are the zeros of the function, the factors of the function would be (x + 2), (x - 5), and (x + 6).

The cubic function f(x) is then derived from the multiplication of these factors. Therefore the cubic function with the zeros -2, 5, and -6 will be f(x) = (x + 2)(x - 5)(x + 6).

w=P/2+l

Answers

P = 2(l + w)
P/2 = 2/2(l + w)
P/2 = l + w
P/2 - l = l - l + w
p/2 - l = w
w = p/2 - l

The formula for 'w' in terms of the perimeter 'P' and length 'l' of the rectangle is w = (P - 2l)/2.

To solve for 'w' in the formula for the perimeter of a rectangle, P = 2(l + w), we need to isolate 'w' on one side of the equation.

P = 2(l + w)

First, distribute the 2 to both terms inside the parentheses:

P = 2l + 2w

Now, subtract 2l from both sides to move it to the other side of the equation:

P - 2l = 2w

Finally, divide both sides by 2 to solve for 'w':

w = (P - 2l)/2

Therefore, the formula for 'w' in terms of the perimeter 'P' and length 'l' of the rectangle is:

To prove that LT is parallel to MV, we can use the given information that angle 1 is congruent to angle 3. By showing congruence between triangles LTM and MVL, we can establish the proportionality of sides LT and MV, leading to the conclusion that LT is parallel to MV.

To prove that LT is parallel to MV, we need to use the given information that angle 1 is congruent to angle 3. Here's a step-by-step explanation:

Start by drawing a diagram representing the given information. Label the angles and the lines appropriately.Since angle 1 is congruent to angle 3, triangle LTM is congruent to triangle MVL by Angle-Angle-Angle (AAA) congruence.This means that corresponding sides of the triangles will be proportionate. The corresponding sides are LT and MV.By the Side-Side-Side (SSS) similarity theorem, we can conclude that LT is parallel to MV.

Therefore, we have proved that LT is parallel to MV using the given information that angle 1 is congruent to angle 3.

Consider triangle MOP. This triangle is right triangle, because  m∠P=90°.

Since  m∠P=90°, m∠M=60°, then m∠O=180°-90°-60°=30°.

The leg opposite to the angle with measure 30° is half of the hypotenuse. Let the leg MP=x, then the hypotenuse MO=2x. By the Pythagorean theorem,

[tex]PO^2+MP^2=MO^2\Rightarrow PO^2=(2x)^2-x^2=4x^2-x^2=3x^2\Rightarrow PO=\sqrt{3}x.[/tex]

Answer: MP=4 units.

Answer:

mp=4 cuz in a 30-60-90 degree right triangle if the shorter leg is x, then the longer leg (po) is xsqrt3.
