if ax +3=7-bx what is x expressed in terms of a and b

Answers

Answer 1
ax + 3 = 7 - bx .....add bx to both sides
ax + bx + 3 = 7 ...subtract 3 from each side
ax + bx = 7 - 3
ax + bx = 4 ....factor out x
x(a + b) = 4 ...divide both sides by (a + b)
x = 4 / (a + b) <==

A ship traveled for 4 hours heading east and for 3 hours heading north. If the total distance traveled was 149 miles, and the ship traveled 3 miles per hour faster heading north, at what speed was the ship traveling east?

Answers

just like the previous one

if the ship travelled a total of 149 miles, then let's say it travelled East "d" miles and thus it travelled North the slack of 149 and "d", thus " 149 - d".

now, if the rate travelling East is say "r", then the faster rate going North is " r + 3".

Write an equation for the function. Tells what each variable you use represents. A plant's height is 1.6 times its age in months.

Answers

Y=1.6x+b (B can be anything or you won't need to add it into the equation)
This is function can be defined as a linear equation, in the standard form of y = mx + b. X is the independent variable, y is the dependent variable, m is the slope (rate of change/growth), and b is the constant (starting point).

Since the growth rate of height for the plant is 1.6 times the independent variable and there is no starting point (so assume 0), our equation should look like this:

y = 1.6x

The plant's height is y and its age in months is x.

Each figure is filled with unit cubes. Drag 22 figures whose combined volume is equal to 45 unit cubes.

Answers

To solve this problem, what we have to do first is to calculate for the volumes of each figure. Let us start from the figure on the left going to the right. Let us call the figures 1 to 4. Formula for volume is:

V = l * w * h

 

Figure 1:

V1 = 4 * 3 * 1 = 12 unit cubes

 

Figure 2:

V2 = 3 * 2 * 3 = 18 unit cubes

 

Figure 3:

V3 = 2 * 2 * 4 = 16 unit cubes

 

Figure 4:

V4 = 3 * 3 * 3 = 27 unit cubes

 

The two combinations that would result in 45 total unit cubes would be:

V = V2 + V4 = 18 unit cubes + 27 unit cubes = 45 unit cubes

 

So the answers are:

A taxi cab charges $0.55 per mile in addition to a $1.75 flat rate fee. Susie has $10 to spend on a taxi cab ride. The taxi driver will not give anyone a ride unless they are going somewhere that is more than 2 miles away. Model Susie’s situation with a system of inequalities.

Answers

The taxi driver doesn't give anyone a ride unless it's 2 miles away, as such you need to add at least $0.55x2 in addition to the $1.75 at the start
1.75+(0.55x2)=2.85
As Susie only has 10 dollars to spend, she can't exceed that. So Susie must spend more than $2.85(minimum from the taxi) and less than $10(her money)
so,
$2.85<Susie<$10

Pediatric asthma survey, n = 50. suppose that asthma affects 1 in 20 children in a population. you take an srs of 50 children from this population. can the normal approximation to the binomial be applied under these conditions? if not, what probability model can be used to describe the sampling variability of the number of asthmatics?

Answers

In this situation, 
n=50, p=1/20, q=(1-p)=19/20, and npq=19/8=2.4

We would like np and npq to be a large number, at least greater than 10.
The normal approximation can always be applied, but the result will be very approximate, depending on the values of np and npq.

Situations are favourable for the normal approximation when p is around 0.5, say between 0.3 and 0.7, and n>30.

"Normal approximation" is using normal probability distribution to approximate the binomial distribution, when n is large (greater than 70) or exceeds the capacity of most hand-held calculators.  The binomial distribution can be used if the following conditions are met:
1. Bernoulli trials, i.e. exactly two possible outcomes.2. Number of trials is known before and constant throughout the experiment, i.e. independent of outcomes.3. All trials are independent of each other.4. Probability of success is known, and remain constant throughout trials.
If all criteria are satisfied, we can model with binomial distribution, where the probability of x successes out of N trials each with probability of success p is given byP(x)=C(N,x)(p^x)(1-p)^(N-x)and,C(N,x) is number of combinations of selecting x objects out of N.
The mean is np, and variance is npq.

For the given situation, np=2.5, npq=2.375, so standard deviation=sqrt(2.375)=1.54.

n=50, p=1/20, q=(1-p)=19/20, and npq=19/eight=2.4

We would like np and npq to be a huge range, at least extra than 10.

The ordinary approximation can usually be carried out, but the result might be very approximate, relying on the values of np and npq.

conditions are favorable for the normal approximation when p is around 0.5, say among 0.3 and 0.7, and n>30.

For the given scenario, np=2.five, npq=2.375, so widespread deviation=sqrt(2.375)=1.54.

underneath what conditions binomial distribution tends to be everyday distribution?

the theory states that any distribution becomes normally allotted whilst the variety of variables is satisfactorily massive. for example, the binomial distribution has a tendency to alternate into the regular distribution with suggest and variance.

What is the distance between (–6, 2) and (8, 10) on a coordinate grid?

Answers

Distance Formula: d = √(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²

(-6 , 2) and (8 , 10)
 x₁   y₁         x₂    y₂

d = √(8 - (-6))² + (10 - 2)²
d = √(8+6)² + (10 - 2)²
d = √(14)² + (8)²
d = √(196) + (64)
d = √ 260
d = 2√65

I think this is right, but I am not sure.

Answer:

Find the value of x in 4000(1.5x) = 25,000. show all work

Answers

4000(1.5)x = 25,000
25000/4000 = 1.5x
6.25 = 1.5x
25/6 = x
4000(1.5x)=25000  divide both sides by 4000

1.5x=6.25  divide both sides by 1.5

x=25/6

x=4 1/6

But that is pretty simplistic, I suspect that you actually meant this was an exponential function of the form:

4000(1.5^x)=25000  divide both sides by 4000

1.5^x=6.25  take the natural log of both sides

xln(1.5)=ln(6.25)  divide both sides by ln(1.5)

x=ln(6.25)/ln(1.5)

x≈4.52  (to nearest hundredth)

A teacher has 3 hours to grade all the papers submitted by the 35 students in her class. She gets through the first 5 papers in 30 minutes. How much faster does she have to work to grade the remaining papers in the allotted time?

Answers

At first, she was grading papers at 10 papers per hour. To meet her time limit, she would have to begin grading them at 12 papers per hour, or 20% faster than her previous rate
so, she has 3hrs to grade all papers, for 35 students.. alrite.

the first 5, she does them in 30minutes.. what's the speed rate? well, 5/30 or 1/6

now, she has still 2 hours and a half, or 150 minutes, to do the remaining 30 papers... she has to work at a rate of 30/150 then... which is 1/5 simplified.

now if we take 1/6 as the 100%, what is 1/5 in percentage then?

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccllll} rate&\%\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ \frac{1}{6}&100\\\\ \frac{1}{5}&x \end{array}\implies \cfrac{\frac{1}{6}}{\frac{1}{5}}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{1}{6}\cdot \cfrac{5}{1}=\cfrac{100}{x}\implies \cfrac{5}{6}=\cfrac{100}{x} \\\\\\ x=\cfrac{6\cdot 100}{5}\implies x=120[/tex]

so 1/5 is 120% in relation to 1/6... meaning the rate of 1/5 she needs to move through, namely 1 paper every 5 minutes, is 20% faster than 1/6.

Quadrilateral ABCD is similar to quadrilateral EFGH. The lengths of the three longest sides in quadrilateral ABCD are 60 feet, 40 feet, and 30 feet long. If the two shortest sides of quadrilateral EFGH are 6 feet long and 12 feet long, how long is the 4th side on quadrilateral ABCD?

Answers

Final answer:

The length of the fourth side on quadrilateral ABCD is 120 feet.

Explanation:

Given that quadrilateral ABCD is similar to quadrilateral EFGH, we can use the property of similar figures to find the length of the fourth side on quadrilateral ABCD.

If the two shortest sides of quadrilateral EFGH are 6 feet and 12 feet long, we can set up a proportion using the corresponding sides of the two quadrilaterals.

Let x be the length of the fourth side on quadrilateral ABCD.

Using the property of similar figures, we have:

(60/6) = (x/12)

Cross multiplying, we get:

6x = 720

Dividing both sides by 6, we find:

x = 120

Therefore, the length of the fourth side on quadrilateral ABCD is 120 feet.
