5+3x=5x-19 I need help solving Multi Step Equations with Variables on both sides.

Answers

Answer 1

The equation we have is:

[tex]5+3x=5x-19[/tex]

when we have the variable on both sides of the equation, what we need to do is move all of the variables to one side of the equation.

For example, in this case, to have all of the variables on the same side, we substract 5x to both sides:

[tex]5+3x-5x=5x-19-5x[/tex]

On the right side 5x and -5x cancel each other, and we are left with:

[tex]5+3x-5x=-19[/tex]

Next, we add the like terms on the left side, 3x-5x is equal to -2x:

[tex]5-2x=-19[/tex]

Since we need to solve for x, we substract 5 to both sides, to leave the variable term alone:

[tex]-2x=-19-5[/tex][tex]-2x=-24[/tex]

And finally, we divide both sides by -2:

[tex]\begin{gathered} -\frac{2x}{-2}=\frac{-24}{-2} \\ \\ x=12 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Answer: x=12

John sells plain cakes for $8 and decorated cakes for $12. On a particular day, John started with a total of 100 cakes, and sold all but 4. His sales that day totaled $800.He sold ___plain cakes and ____decorated cakes that day.

Answers

INFORMATION:

We know that:

- John sells plain cakes for $8 and decorated cakes for $12.

- On a particular day, John started with a total of 100 cakes, and sold all but 4.

- His sales that day totaled $800.

And we must find the number of plain cakes and decorated cakes that he sold that day.

STEP BY STEP EXPLANATION:

To find them, we can represent the situation using a system of equations

[tex]\begin{cases}x+y={100-4...(1)} \\ 8x+12y={800...(2)}\end{cases}[/tex]

Where, x represents the number of plain cakes that he sold and y represents the number of decorated cakes that he sold.

Now, we must solve the system:

1. We must multiply the equation (1) by -8

[tex]\begin{gathered} -8(x+y)=-8(100-4) \\ -8x-8y=-768...(3) \end{gathered}[/tex]

2. We must add equations (2) and (3)

[tex]\begin{gathered} 8x+12y=800 \\ -8x-8y=-768 \\ ---------- \\ 0x+4y=32 \\ \text{ Simplifying, } \\ 4y=32...(4) \end{gathered}[/tex]

3. We must solve equation (4) for y

[tex]\begin{gathered} 4y=32 \\ y=\frac{32}{4} \\ y=8 \end{gathered}[/tex]

4. We must replace the value of y in equation (1) and then solve it for x

[tex]\begin{gathered} x+8=100-4 \\ x=100-4-8 \\ x=88 \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, we found that x = 88 and y = 8.

Finally, John sold 88 plain cakes and 8 decorated cakes.

ANSWER:

He sold 88 plain cakes and 8 decorated cakes that day.

A bird sits on top of a Lamppost. The angle made by the lamp-post and a line from the feet of the bird to the feet of the Observer standing away from the Lamppost is 55°. the distance from the Lamppost and the Observer is 25 ft. estimate the height of the lamp post

Answers

A bird sits on top of a Lamppost. The angle made by the lamp-post and a line from the feet of the bird to the feet of the Observer standing away from the Lamppost is 55°. the distance from the Lamppost and the Observer is 25 ft. estimate the height of the lamp post ​

Ana has $75 and saves an additional $13 per week. Which equation can be used to findhow many weeks it will take until she has $452?75 + w = 4520 75 + 13w = 45213w = 75 = 452452 + 13w = 75

Answers

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{The equation is;} \\ 75\text{ + 13w = 452} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Here, we want to get an equation

Firstly, since we do not have the number of weeks, we can represent it with a variable (a letter)

In this case, we shall be representing it with w

Since she saves $13 in a week, in w weeks, the amount saved will be;

13 * w = $13w

Now, recall that she has $75 before she started saving. What this mean is that at the end of the w weeks, the amount she will have will be ;

[tex]13w\text{ + 75}[/tex]

We now proceed to equate this to the total she wants to save and we finally have the complete equation below;

[tex]13w\text{ + 75 = 452}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = x³ + x - 6; g(x) = 2x

(f o g)(x) = f(g(x))

f(g(x)) = (2x)³ + (2x) - 6

f(g(x)) = 8x³ + 2x - 6

(g o f) = g(f(x))

g(f(x)) = 2(x³ + x - 6)

g(f(x)) = 2x³ + 2x - 12

Write the equation for the quadratic function in vertex form & standard form with the given vertex that passes through the given point.Vertex (2, -8) through the point (4, 3)

Answers

We will have the following:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=a(x-2)^2-8\Rightarrow3=a(4-2)^2-8 \\ \\ \Rightarrow3=4a-8\Rightarrow4a=11 \\ \\ \Rightarrow a=\frac{11}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]

So, the equation in vertex form is:

[tex]y=\frac{11}{4}(x-2)^2-8[/tex]

And in standard form:

[tex]\begin{gathered} y=\frac{11}{4}(x^2-4x+4)-8\Rightarrow y=\frac{11}{4}x^2-11x+11-8 \\ \\ \Rightarrow y=\frac{11}{4}x^2-11x+3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

***Explanation***

We know that the quadratic expression in vertex form follows:

[tex]y=a(x-h)^2+k[/tex]

Where (h, k) is the vertex of the expression. Now, we know that the vertex is (2, -8), so we replace those values and we obtain:

[tex]y=a(x-2)^2+(-8)\Rightarrow y=a(x-2)^2-8[/tex]

Now, in order to determine "a" we must replace one point (That is not the vertex) in the expression and solve for "a", and we are told that the point (4, 3) is in one of the solutions, so:

[tex]\begin{gathered} 3=a(4-2)^2-8\Rightarrow3=a(2)^2-8 \\ \\ \Rightarrow11=4a\Rightarrow a=\frac{11}{4} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Thus, the expression in vertex form is then:

[tex]y=\frac{11}{4}(x-2)^2-8[/tex]

And to determine the standard form, we simply expand the equation in vertex form:

[tex]y=\frac{11}{4}(x^2-4x+4)-8\Rightarrow[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Whole numbers are:

0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6...

The number we are looking at is -4/2, which is -2. Whole numbers aren't negative. So not choice A.

Integers are:

...-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3...

Positives and negatives are included (just no fractions or decimals) So, -4/2 which is -2 IS an integer.

Rational numbers can be written like a ratio (like a fraction) So -4/2 totally IS a rational number.

Irrational numbers are decimal numbers that go on forever without repeating, like pi and sqrt2 and sqrt5. -4/2 is NOT irrational.

A person invested $3,700 in an account growing at a rate allowing the money to double every 6 years. How much money would be in the account after 14 years, to the nearest dollar?

Answers

Given :

The principal = 3,700

Assume a simple interest

The account growing at a rate allowing the money to double every 6 years.

So,

[tex]\begin{gathered} I=P\cdot r\cdot t \\ I=P \\ 3700=3700\cdot r\cdot6 \\ r=\frac{1}{6} \end{gathered}[/tex]

How much money would be in the account after 14 years, to the nearest dollar?​

So, we will substitute with r = 1/6, t = 14 years

So,

[tex]\begin{gathered} I=3700\cdot\frac{1}{6}\cdot14=8633.33 \\ \\ A=P+I=8633.33+3700=12333.33 \end{gathered}[/tex]

what is the LCM of 4 and 6 ?

Answers

LCM stands for Least Common Multiple.

And it is defined as the product of the two numbers divided by the GCD (greatest common divisor)

In our case, the product of 4 and 6 is 24, , and the greatest common divisor of 4 and 6 is "2". Therefore, the LCM of 4 and 6 is 24/2 = 12

Let me also use the Venn diagram that your teacher provided:

In the diagram we enter the factors that correspond to both numbers (4 and 6), and in the intersection of the two sets (intersection of the circle) we type a "2" which is the ONLY factor 4 and 6 have in common (the greatest common divisor of the two given numbers) So complete a diagram as follows:

We typed a 2in the area common to both numbers. Then your LCM is the product of 2 times 2 times 3 = 12

Notice the blue set (circle) contains the two factors for 4 (2 * 2) and the orange circle contains the two factor for 6 (2 * 3)

We set in the intersection of the two circles the factor that is common to both.

Do you want me to complete the second question with a Venn diagram as well? Perfect.

The second question is about the LCM of the numbers 12 and 8

Then we create a Venn diagram like the following, considering that the factor in common between 12 and 8 is 4, because 12 = 4 * 3 and 8 = 4 * 2

Again here, the factors 3 and 4 (that give 12) are typed in the blue circle. and the factors that form 8 (4 * 2) are typed inside the orange circle.

The factor that both share is in the middle "4". Therefore, now to find the LCM you simply multiply the three numbers shown in the Venn diagtam: 3 * 4 * 2 = 24

Then 24 is your LCM.

Answers

Given,

Ava graphs the function h(x) = x^2 + 4.

Victor graphs the function g(x) = (x + 4)^2.

Required:

Check the correct statement about graph.

The graph of Ava and vector function is:

Here, victor graph was represented by blue curve and ava graph by green curve.

For first statement,

Ava’s graph is a vertical translated by 4 units.

Hence, statement is true.

For second statement,

The graph of victor is not vertically translated.

Hence, statement is false.

For statement three,

The curve of the Ava graph is moved 4 unit up in the positive direction. It is in y axis. Hence, statement is true.

For statement forth,

The curve of the victor graph is moved to negative direction not positive. Hence, statement is false.

For statement fifth,

The graph of Ava has the y intercept at 4. So, statement is correct.

Hence, option A (Ava’s graph is a vertical translation of f(x) = x^2), option C (Ava’s graph moved 4 units from f(x) = x^2 in a positive direction) and option E (Ava’s graph has a y-intercept of 4.) is true.
