Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

5(2x - 8) + 15 = -15

Step 2: Solve for x

[Subtraction Property of Equality] Subtract 15 on both sides:                   5(2x - 8) = -30[Division Property of Equality] Divide 5 on both sides:                               2x - 8 = -6[Addition Property of Equality] Add 8 on both sides:                                 2x = 2[Division Property of Equality] Divide 2 on both sides:                                x = 1

Step 3: Check

Plug in x into the original equation to verify it's a solution.

Substitute in x:                                                                                               5(2(1) - 8) + 15 = -15(Parenthesis) Multiply:                                                                                   5(2 - 8) + 15 = -15(Parenthesis) Subtract:                                                                                 5(-6) + 15 = -15Multiply:                                                                                                         -30 + 15 = -15Add:                                                                                                               -15 = -15

Here we see that -15 does indeed equal -15.

∴ x = 1 is the solution to the equation.

Answer 2

Answer: x=1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's solve your equation step-by-step.

5(2x−8)+15=−15

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

5(2x−8)+15=−15

(5)(2x)+(5)(−8)+15=−15(Distribute)

10x+−40+15=−15

(10x)+(−40+15)=−15(Combine Like Terms)

10x+−25=−15

10x−25=−15

Step 2: Add 25 to both sides.

10x−25+25=−15+25

10x=10

Step 3: Divide both sides by 10.

10x/10=10/10

x=1

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

A1. Reference angle = 41°

Hypotenuse = x

Adjacent = 7

Thus, applying trigonometric ratio, we would have:

Cos 41 = 7/x

Multiply both sides by x

x × cos 41 = 7

Divide both sides by cos 41

x = 7/cos 41

x = 9.3 (nearest tenth)

A2. Reference angle = 65°

Hypotenuse = 6

Opposite = y

Thus, applying trigonometric ratio, we would have:

Sin 65 = y/6

Multiply both sides by 6

6 × sin 65 = y

5.4 = y (nearest tenth)

y = 5.4

A3. Reference angle = 50°

Hypotenuse = z

Opposite = 8

Thus, applying trigonometric ratio, we would have:

Sin 50 = 8/z

Multiply both sides by z

z × sin 50 = 8

Divide both sides by sin 50

z = 8/sin 50

z = 10.4 (nearest tenth)

B1. Reference angle = 49°

Hypotenuse = x

Opposite = 7

Thus, applying trigonometric ratio, we would have:

Sin 49 = 7/x

Multiply both sides by x

x × sin 49 = 7

Divide both sides by sin 49

x = 7/sin 49

x = 9.3 (nearest tenth)

B2. Reference angle = 25°

Hypotenuse = 6

Adjacent = y

Thus, applying trigonometric ratio, we would have:

Cos 25 = y/6

Multiply both sides by 6

6 × cos 25 = y

y = 5.4 (nearest tenth)

B3. Reference angle = 40°

Hypotenuse = z

Adjacent = 8

Thus, applying trigonometric ratio, we would have:

Cos 40 = 8/z

Multiply both sides by z

z × cos 40 = 8

Divide both sides by cos 40

z = 8/cos 40

z = 10.4 (nearest tenth)

The price of a computer is reduced by 17.5%. The reduced price is £264 by how much is the price reduced

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

100%-17.5%= 82.5%

82.5% (divide) 82.5%= 1%

so (1% of the orginal price)=

£264 (divide) 82.5%= £320= original price

The price of the computer is reduced by £56 which is 17.5% of £320.

What is the percentage?

A percentage is a value per hundredth. Percentages can be converted into decimals and fractions by dividing the percentage value by a hundred.

Given, The price of a computer is reduced by 17.5% and the reduced price is £264.

Let the original price be '£x'.

So, (100 - 17.5)% = 82.5% of '£x' is  £264.

(82.5/100)×x = 264.

0.825x = 264.

x = 264/0.825.

x =  £320.

So, The price reduced is (320 - 264) =  £56.

Find x in the follow triangle.

Answers

Answer:

x=5.66

Step-by-step explanation:

This is an around about way since it's not a right triangle.

lets call the segment line that bisects the lower right angle= M.

The two triangles created would be similar. So:

4/6=M/(x+3)

4x+12=6M

M=(4x+12)/6

and

(x+3)/(x+4)=M/6

(6x+18)=Mx+4M

M=(6x+18)/(x+4)

since M=M

(4x+12/6=(6x+18)/(x+4)

(x+4)(4x+12)=6(6x+18)

4x^2+12x+16x+48=36x+108

A gift card stores data using a black, magnetic stripe on the back of the card. Find the width w of the stripe.

Answers

The width of w is 0.90 cm.

Find the length of the sides:

The first step to solve this problem is to find how long is each side.  About this, we know one side is 8 1/2 cm or 8.5 but the other side is not exactly given (4cm + w + 2/3 w). To determine the length of this size, use the area formula:

A = side a x side bSide b = A / side aSide b = 46.75 / 8.5Side b 5.5

Find the length of w:

The total length of the side - known side

5.5 - 4 = 1.5

This means w + 2/3 w (0.66 w) is equal to 1.5

Find w:

w + 2/3 w = 1.5w + 0.66w = 1.51.66 w = 1.5w = 1.5/ 1.66w =  0.90 cm

The answer is D. 14

Step-by-step explanation:

If you were to plug in 14 for x, it would look something like this:

[tex]\frac{14-4}{14}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex]

Solve 14-4

[tex]\frac{10\\}{14}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{5}{7}[/tex]

if you were to multiply 5 and 7 by 2, you would get

[tex]\frac{10}{14}[/tex].

This makes the equation true, because

10/14 does equal itself (10/14)

At a gourmet coffee shop. 3 pounds of dark-roast coffee beans cost $56 and 7 pounds of the same coffee cost $112. On the grid below, graph a line that shows how the cost of these coffee
beans varies proportionally with the number of pounds purchased. Use your graph to identify the unit rate for these coffee beans.
PLEASE ITS DUE IN A HOUR

Answers

Answer:

In the question, it says that this is a proportional relationship.

A proportional relationship is something like:

y = k*x

So when we have x = 0, we also need to have y = 0.

For the case in the question, this does not happen, so i guess that the actual question is:

"At a gourmet coffee shop. 3.5 pounds of dark-roast coffee beans cost $56 and 7 pounds of the same coffee cost $112."

We can define:

x = amount of coffee

y = price of that coffee

Now we have two pairs:

$56 to get 3.5lb

$112 to get 7lb

Then we have two points:

(3.5lb, $56)

(7lb, $112)

We can draw these two points and then connect them with a line, this line will represent the proportional relationship.

Now we need to look at the value 1 in the x-axis, then draw a vertical line

At the point where this vertical line intersects the graph, we draw a horizontal line, and the value of y is the value at which this horizontal line intersects the y-axis.

(you can see a rough sketch of this in the image below)

The solution is 1lb of coffee costs $16.

Two teachers, Mr. Donahue and Mrs. Ortiz, decide to buy mechanical pencilsand rulers for their classrooms. Mrs. Ortizbuys 50 mechanical pencils and 30 rulers for $55. Mr. Donahue buys 30 of each for $45. What was the price per mechanical pencil?What was the price per ruler?a.

Answers

Answer:

Price per mechanical pencil: [tex]\$ 0.5[/tex].

Price per ruler: [tex]\$ 1[/tex].

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the cost per mechanical pencil be [tex]\$ p[/tex], and let the cost per ruler be [tex]\$ r[/tex].

Set up two equations based on the amount of money that each teacher paid.

The cost of [tex]50[/tex] mechanical pencils ([tex]\$ p[/tex] each) and [tex]30[/tex] rulers ([tex]\$ r[/tex] each) would be [tex](50 \, p + 30\, r)[/tex]. That should be equal to the amount of money that Mrs. Ortiz paid. In other words, [tex]50 \, p + 30\, r = 55[/tex].

Similarly, the cost of [tex]30[/tex] mechanical pencils ([tex]\$ p[/tex] each) and [tex]30 \![/tex] rulers ([tex]\$ r[/tex] each) would be [tex](50 \, p + 30\, r)[/tex]. That should be equal to the amount of money that Mr. Donahue paid. In other words, [tex]30 \, p + 30\, r = 45[/tex].

That gives a system of two equations:

[tex]\left\lbrace \begin{aligned}& 50 \, p + 30\, r = 55 \\ & 30 \, p + 30\, r = 45 \end{aligned}\right.[/tex].

Subtract the second equation for the first:

[tex]20\, p = 10[/tex].

[tex]\displaystyle p = \frac{1}{2} = 0.5[/tex].

In other words, the cost of one mechanical pencil would be [tex]\$0.5[/tex].

Substitute [tex]p = 0.5[/tex] back to either equation and solve for [tex]r[/tex], the cost of one ruler.

[tex]50 \times 0.5 + 30\, r = 55[/tex].

[tex]30\, r = 55 - 25 = 30[/tex].

[tex]r = 1[/tex].

In other words, the cost of one ruler would be [tex]\$ 1[/tex].
