After Lois picks a value for b, Clark must solve the equation 2x + 7 - x = 4x + 2b – 3x - 3b.

Clark uses Lois's b, then tries to solve the equation by repeatedly guessing values of x until he guesses
the right one. However, for every x he picks, the left side is always 3 more than the right side. What
value of b did Lois give Clark?

Answers

Answer 1

The value of b that Lois give Clark will be -7

Given the expression 2x + 7 - x = 4x + 2b – 3x - 3b.

First, we need to find the value of b from the expression.

Rearrange;

2x + 7 - x = 4x + 2b – 3x - 3b.

x + 7 = x + 2b - 3b

2b - 3b = 7

-b = 7

b = -7

Substitute b = -7 into the expression and find the value of x;

2x + 7 - x = 4x + 2(-7) – 3x - 3(-7)

x + 7 = 4x - 3x - 14 + 21

x + 7 = x + 7

Since for every x he picks, the left side is always 3 more than the right side, the equation becomes;

x + 7 = x + 3x + 7

x + 7 = 4x + 7

x - 4x = 0

-3x = 0

x = 0

Hence the value of b that Lois give Clark will be -7

Solve for y 8x - 7y = 23​

Answers

[tex]8x - 7y = 23 \\ 8x - 23 = 7y \\y = \frac{8}{7} x - \frac{23}{7} [/tex]

The solution of the equation, when it is solved for y, has one variable term x with coefficient 8/7 and one constant term 23/7, 8/7x-23/7.

How to solve an equation for its variable?

The solution of an equation is the value of the variable of the equation, for which the equation is satisfied.

To solve an equation for its variable, isolate the variable on one side of the equation using the mathematical operations.

The given expression is,

[tex]8x - 7y = 23[/tex]

The expression has two variables, x and y. To solve it for y, subtract 8x from both sides,

[tex]8x - 7y -8x= 23-8x\\-7y=23-8x[/tex]

Divide with number 7 both sides and change the sign of the equation,

[tex]y=-\left(\dfrac{23-8x}{7}\right)\\y=\dfrac{8x-23}{7}\\y=\dfrac{8}{7}x-\dfrac{23}{7}[/tex]

Thus, the solution of the equation, when it is solved for y, has one variable term x with coefficient 8/7 and one constant term 23/7, 8/7x-23/7.

Find values for a and b for which x = 4 is a solution of the equation shown.

ax + 4 = 5x + b

Answers

The values of a and be for which x = 4 is a solution of the equation shown.

ax + 4 = 5x + b are infinitely many

The given equation is:

ax  +  4  =  5x   +  b

To find the values of a and b in the equation at x = 4, substitute x = 4 into the equation

4a  +  4  =  5(4)  +  b

4a  +  4   =  20  +  b

Collect like terms

4a  -  b  =  20  -  4

4a  -  b   =   16

Since there are two unknowns in just a single equation, the equation has more than 1 solution.

The equation showing the relationship between w and t is [tex]w = 4t[/tex]

From the table, we have the following points:

(0,0) and (1,4)

Start by calculating the slope (m)

[tex]m = \frac{y_2 -y_1}{x_2 -x_1}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]m = \frac{4 -0}{1 -0}[/tex]

Simplify the numerator and the denominator

[tex]m = \frac{4}{1}[/tex]

Divide 4 by 1

[tex]m = 4[/tex]

The equation is then calculated as:

[tex]w = m(t - t_1) + w_1[/tex]

This gives

[tex]w = 4(t - 0) + 0[/tex]

Answers

Answer:  20 feet

=====================================================

Work Shown:

(height)/(shadow length) = (height)/(shadow length)

(5 ft)/(6.5 ft) = (x ft)/(26 ft)

5/(6.5) = x/26

5*26 = 6.5*x

130 = 6.5x

6.5x = 130

x = 130/(6.5)

x = 20

Start by solving for x in all the inequalities

Make x the subject: Subtract 150 from both sides

[tex]x \le 144 - 150[/tex]

[tex]x \le -6[/tex]

[tex]75 < 69 - x[/tex]

Make x the subject: Add x to both sides, and subtract 75 from both sides

sarah got a 80% on her pre algebra final exam. if there were 75 questions total how many did sarah get correc? How many did she get wrong? what percent did she get wrong?


HELP PLS

Answers

She got 60 correct and 15 wrong. She got 11.25% wrong

Answer: Sarah got 60 questions correct, 15 questions wrong, and she got 20% of the questions wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's solve for how many questions Sarah got correct.

80% as a fraction can be simplified as [tex]\frac{8}{10}[/tex]. To find how many questions Sarah answered correctly, we can set up a proprtional relationship as follows:

[tex]\frac{8}{10}=\frac{?}{75}[/tex]

Next, after we cross multiply, 8 X 75 = 600, and 600 ÷ 10 = 60

So, Sarah got 60 out of 75 questions correct.

To find how many she missed, we can simply subtract 60 from 75 to get 15.

So, Sarah got 15 out of 75 questions wrong.

Finally, to find the percentage of the questions that Sarah got wrong, we can use the 15 out of 75 incorrect questions that we found earlier to create a percentage.

15 ÷ 75 = 0.2

0.2 X 100 = 20

So, Sarah got 20% of the questions wrong.


Write the equation of the line in fully simplified slope-intercept form

Answers

Answer:

y = -5/6x + 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have 2 points, (6,0) and (6,1), we can calculate for the slope by using the formula

Slope = m = (y2 - y1)/(x2-x1) = (1-6)/(6-0) = -5/6

Then plug in m, x(from one of the point), and y(from one of the point) to the equation y = mx + b which get us 0 = -5/6*6+b if we use the point (6,0). Now we'll get b = 6. And then plug in -5/6 for m and 6 for b into the equation y = mx + b we'll get y = -5/6x + 6

Labor unions arose in the nineteenth century as increasing numbers of Americans took jobs in factories, mines, and mills in the growing industrial economy.

The Knights of Labor, founded in 1869, was the first major labor organization in the United States. The Knights organized unskilled and skilled workers, campaigned for an eight hour workday, and aspired to form a cooperative society in which laborers owned the industries in which they worked.

The Knights’ membership collapsed following the 1886 Haymarket Square riot in Chicago. By 1886 the American Federation of Labor (AFL), an alliance of skilled workers’ trade unions, was growing.

given the function f(x)=-2x^4-16x^3-36x^2, determine all intervals on which f is both decreasing and concave down

Answers

Answer:

  (0, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

The only maximum, local or otherwise, is at x=0. Since the leading coefficient is negative, the function is decreasing and concave down for x-values greater than 0.

  0 < x < ∞ . . . . . decreasing and concave down

__

Since the leading coefficient of this even-degree function is negative, it will have a generally ∩ shape. It will be decreasing to the right of any local maximum.

The first derivative is negative only for x > 0, so that is the only region where the function is decreasing. Since that x=0 is a local maximum, the function must be concave downward in that neighborhood.

__

The attached graph shows the function and its first and second derivatives. The function is concave down where the second derivative is negative, to the right of the right-most point of inflection.

_____

Additional comment

A graphing calculator provides a quick answer to a question like this. You can find the same answer algebraically.

The first derivative is ...

  f'(x) = -8x^3 -48x^2 -72x = -8x(x^2 +6x +9) = -8x(x+3)^2

This has a zero at x=-3 where the graph of it touches the x-axis, but does not change sign. That means f(x) has a flat spot at x=-3, but is not decreasing except to the right of x=0.

The second derivative is ...

  f''(x) = -24x^2 -96x -72 = -24(x^2 +4x +3) = -24(x +1)(x +3)

The second derivative will be negative for x < -3 and x > -1, to the left and right of the points of inflection. This means f(x) is concave upward only for -3 < x < -1, and concave downward everywhere else.

The function is concave downward and decreasing for x > 0.

Percent error is the difference between estimated value and the actual value in comparison to the actual value and is expressed as a percentage. In other words, the percent error is the relative error multiplied by 100.

Error = Actual value - estimated value =

Actual value = 82g, Estimated value = 78g

Error = 82 - 78 which is 4

percent error = error/estimated x 100%
