Explain how to isolate the variable in this equation -2/5x+7=15

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]x = -20[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Use inverse operations and simplification to isolate the variable in the equation.

[tex]-\frac{2}{5}x + 7 = 15\\-7\\\\-\frac{2}{5}x = 8\\[/tex]

Now divide the equation by [tex](-\frac{2}{5})[/tex] remember, dividing a fraction is the same as multiplying by the reciprocal. The reciprocal of a fraction is when one switches the places of the numerator (number on top of a fraction bar), and the denominator (number on the bottom of the fraction bar).

[tex]-\frac{2}{5}x = 8\\[/tex]

÷[tex]-\frac{2}{5}[/tex]

[tex]x = 8 * (-\frac{5}{2})[/tex]

Simplify,

[tex]x = 4 *(- 5)\\\\ x= -20[/tex]

Answer:

y = 15x + 20 or 15x - y + 20 = 0

x = 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Line is passing through the points (0, 20) & (2, 50)

Slope of line = (50 - 20)/(2 - 0) = 30/2 = 15

Equation of line

y - 20 = 15(x - 0)

y - 20 = 15x

y = 15x + 20 or 15x - y + 20 = 0

Plug y = 185 in above equation, we find:

185 = 15x + 20

185 - 20 = 15x

165 = 15x

x = 165/15

x = 11

The product of two positive consecutive odd integers is 2703. What are the positive numbers?

Answers

Answer:

The positive numbers are 51 and 53

Step-by-step explanation:

Let first odd integer be x and another odd integer is (x+2).

According to the given condition,

The product of two positive consecutive odd integers is 2703 i.e.

x(x+2) = 2703

[tex]x^2+2x-2703=0[/tex]

It is a quadratic equation. It can be solved as follows :

x = 51 and x = -53

Neglecting negative sign,

The first number = 51

Another number =(51+2) = 53

Hence, the positive numbers are 51 and 53.

find the function h(x)=f(x)+ g(x) if f(x) =2x^3+1 and g(x)=x^2- 4x+3

Answers

Answer:

h(x) = f(x) + g(x)

fill in the equations

h(x) = (2x^3 + 1) + (x^2 - 4x + 3)

h(x) = 2x^3 + 1 + x^2 - 4x + 3

combine like terms

h(x) = 2x^3 + x^2 - 4x + 4

What is 7 1/5 written as a percent

Answers

Answer:

720%

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

720 %

Step-by-step explanation:

Method 1

If 1 is equal to 100 percent, then 7 would be 700 percent. 1/5 is equal to 20 percent. If you add 700 % and 20 % you will get 720 %

Method 2

7 1/5 is equal to  

7/1 × 5/5 + 1/ 5 = 35/5 + 1/5 = 36/5

We know that 36/5 is the same as 36 ÷ 5

36 divided by 5 gives us 7.2

Convert the decimal to a percent:

7.2 × 100 = 720%

find the next four terms in a number pattern that follows the rule. start with the number 10. 10, 16, 22, 28, 34 Is 16, 22, 28, and 34 the answer?

Answers

Answer:

40, 46, 52, 58

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the next four terms, we have to find the pattern of the given terms.

We start at 10 and then go to 16.

Let's try adding 6 to each term and see what we get.

10 + 6 = 16

16 + 6 = 22

22 + 6 = 28

28 + 6 = 34

Looks like it matches the given terms.

To find the next four terms, we just have to keep adding 6 to each term.

34 + 6 = 40

40 + 6 = 46

46 + 6 = 52

52 + 6 = 58

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Diameter = 4cm

Pie = π.

To find the area of the circle;

Radius = diameter/2

Radius = 4/2

Radius = 2cm

Area of a circle = πr²

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Area of circle = π*2²

Area of circle = 4π.

If 12a + 3b = 1 and 7b - 2a = 0, what is the average a and b?

Answers

Answer: 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add the equations:

12a + 3b = 1

-2a + 7b = 0

------------------- (you get):

10a + 10b = 1 (divide by 10)

a + b = 1/2 (divide by 2 since average of two numbers is their sum divided by 2)

(a + b) / 2 = 1/4

Answer: 0.05

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 12a+3b=1

a= (1-3b)/12

2. 7b-2a=0

7b-2((1-3b)/12)

b=1/45

a=(1-3b)/12=(1-3(1/45))/12=7/90

Lastly: (7/90+1/45)/2=0.05

Answers

Answer: The height of the telephone pole = $15.046

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Angle of elevation= 62 degrees.

Distance of Ben from the base of the pole = 8 feet

According to trigonometry, we have

[tex]\tan x=\dfrac{\text{side opposite to x}}{\text{side adjacent to x}}[/tex]

i.e.

[tex]\tan 62^{\circ}=\dfrac{\text{ height of the telephone pole}}{8}\\\\(1.880726)=\dfrac{\text{ height of the telephone pole}}{8}\\\\\text{ Height of the telephone pole} = 8\times 1.880726\approx15.046[/tex]

Hence, The height of the telephone pole = $15.046

The solid contains a cylinder and a hemisphere. Find the volume of the composite solid. 4.4m radius and 5m height

Answers

Answer:

303.95 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume = πr2h

r= 4.4

h = 5

= 3.14 × 4.4^2 × 5

= 3.14 × 19.36 × 5

= 303.95

Hence the volume is 303.95 m^3

Question :-

The solid contains a cylinder and a hemisphere. Find the volume of the composite solid that has a radius of 4.4 m and a height of 5 m.

Answer :-

The volume of the composite solid is 303.952 m³.

Solution :-

As per provided information in the given question, we have been given that the Radius of a cylinder is 4.4 meters. The height of a cylinder is 5 meters. We have been asked to find the volume of a cylinder.

To calculate the volume of a cylinder, we will apply the formula below :-

[tex] \bigstar \: \: \: \boxed{ \sf{ \: \: Volume_{(Cylinder)} = \pi r^2 h \: \: }}[/tex]

Substitute the given values into the above formula and solve for Volume :-

[tex]\sf:\implies Volume_{(Cylinder)} = \pi r^2 h[/tex]

[tex]\sf:\implies Volume_{(Cylinder)} = (3.14)(4.4 \: m)^2(5 \: m)[/tex]

[tex]\sf:\implies Volume_{(Cylinder)} = (3.14)(19.36 \:m^2)(5 \: m)[/tex]

[tex]\sf:\implies Volume_{(Cylinder)} = (60.7904 \:m^2)(5 \:m)[/tex]

[tex]\sf:\implies\bold{Volume_{(Cylinder)} = 303.952 \: m^3}[/tex]

Therefore :-

The volume of the composite solid is 303.952 m³.
