A piece of rope 60 meters long is cut into two
pieces so that the longer piece is twice the
length of the shorter. How long are the two
pieces?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

short piece = 20

Longer piece = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

Comment

Let the shorter piece be x

Then the longer piece is 2x

Givens

The rope is 60 meters long

Equation

x + 2x = 60 meters               Combine like terms

Solution

3x = 60                                  Divide by 3

3x/3=60/3

x = 20

There are no solutions.Standard form: x ∈ ∅

Answer:

0 < - 27

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Distribute

3x + 6 < 3(x-7)

3x + 6 < 3x - 21

2. Subtract 6 from both sides

3x + 6 <  3x - 21

3x + 6 - 6 < 3x - 21 - 6

3. Simplify

   subtract

    3x + 6 - 6 < 3x - 21 - 6

    3x <  3x - 21 - 6

   subtract

     3x < 3x - 21 - 6

     3x < 3x - 27

4. Subtract 3x from both sides

3x < 3x - 27

3x - 3x < 3x - 27 - 3x

5. Simplify

    combine like terms

     3x - 3x < 3x - 27 - 3x

     0 < 3x - 27 - 3x

     0 < 3x - 27 - 3x

can anyone help me with this

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Since area = 27cm²

area = 3 × (x + 4)

27 = 3(x + 4)

expand the right side

27 = 3x + 12

move 12 to the left side and subtract it with 27

15=3x

then divide both sides with 3

A glass bottle filled with oil weighs 590 grams. After Sophia uses 200 milliliters of oil, the bottle of oil weighs 400 grams.

Answers

Assuming the question is : How much does x liters/milimeters of oil weigh?

First, we calculate how much mass did the bottle of oil lose : 590 - 400 = 190 (grams)

Since it loses 190 grams after Sophia uses 200 milimeters of oil, 200 milimeters of oil weighs 190 grams (yes.)

-> 1 milimeter of oil weighs : 190/200 = 0.95(grams)

So, to calculate the mass of x *liters* of oil, we take 0,95 x 1000 times x.

For example : To calculate the mass of 22,5 liters of oil, we take 0,95 x 1000 x 22,5 = 21375 (g) or 21.35(kg).

Answers

The given equation is

5(x - 3) = x + 13

We want to test if x = 6 is a solution. We would substitute x = 6 into the equation. We have

5(6 - 3) = 6 + 13?

5(3) = 6 + 13?

15 = 19?

Since both sides of the equation is not equal, then

x = 6 is not a solution of the equation

Phindi is an athlete . as part of her training, she runs around the outside of a circular track that has a radius of 88m. as part of her training, she has to run 12kmon the track. how many circuits of the track will she have to run?

Answers

It takes Phindi to run almost 22 tracks to cover 12kms

Given that,

First you have to figure out the length of the track whihc is circumference of circle ,

r is the radius  of circular track which is 88m

The athlete has to run 12km on the track

Circumference of circle = 2πr

Solving circumference will give length of the circular track which is,

Circumference of circle = 2(3.14)(88)

                                          =552.6 meters

If she covers 552.6 m whe runs one circular track then,

1 circular track -------- 552.6 meters

? circular track -------- 12000 meters or 12 kilometers

No of circular tracks = 12000/552.6 = 21.7 tracks

Since, angle CBD and angle CFH are the corresponding angles and they are equal to each other, we are given CBD=2x+60 and CFH = 10x

therefore , 10x=2x+60

Answers

Answer:

x = 4 , x = 2.4

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{4}{x-2}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{3}{x-3}[/tex] = 5

multiply through by (x - 2)(x - 3)

4(x - 3) + 3(x - 2) = 5(x - 2)(x - 3)

4x - 12 + 3x - 6 = 5(x² - 5x + 6)

7x - 18 = 5x² - 25x + 30 ( subtract 7x - 18 from both sides )

0 = 5x²  - 32x + 48

consider the factors of the product of the coefficient of the x² term and the constant term which sum to give the coefficient of the x- term.

product = 5 × 48 = 240 and sum = - 32

the factors are - 20 and - 12

use these factors to split the x- term

0 = 5x² - 20x - 12x + 48 ( factor the first/second and third/fourth terms )

0 = 5x(x - 4) - 12(x - 4) ← factor out (x - 4) from each term

0 = (x - 4)(5x - 12)

equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 4 = 0 ⇒ x = 4

5x - 12 = 0 ⇒ 5x = 12 ⇒ x = 2.4

From the question, the given parameters are

Monthly salary = $2200

The equation that relates S to N is then calculated as

Total = Monthly salary + Additional earnings x Number of copy of Math fun sold

how to locate Distance between two points?

The length of the line segment bridging two locations in a plane is known as the distance between them. d=√((x2 – x1)² + (y2 – y1)²).  is a typical formula for determining the separation between two places. Any two sites on an x-y plane or coordinate plane can have their distance between them calculated using this equation.

According to the given data:

location of Arthur is (20, 30)

location of Jamie is (45, 60)

Let's apply the rule of distance to determine how far away they are because we know that :

d = √((X₂ - X₁)² + (Y₂ - Y₁)²)

let substituting the value we get:

d = √((X₂ - X₁)² + (Y₂ - Y₁)²)

d = √((45 - 20)² + (60 - 30)²)

=   √(25)² + (30)²)
