When solving -1/3 (x − 15) = −4, what is the correct sequence of operations? Please help!! 15 points

Answers

Answer 1

-1/3(x-15) = -4

1st step distribute(multiply) the -1/3 with what is inside parenthesis

-1/3x + 5 = -4

2nd step subtract 5 from both sides of the equation

-1/3x = -9

3rd step divide both sides of the equation by -1/3 to get x

x = -9 / -1/3

x = 27

Answer 2
You can do a problem in many different ways using different orders of steps.
This is how I'd do it:
1) Multiply both sides by -3
2) Add 15 to both sides.
In only two steps you get the solution.

What are the coordinates of the vertex for f(x) = x2 + 4x + 10?

Answers

(-2,6) this is the coordinates of the vertex

Answer:

The coordinates of the vertex are [tex] (-2, -6)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The graph of this function is a parabola that opens up in the Cartesian plane. We can find like this:

[tex]y = (x ^ 2 + 4x +4) +6 = (x + 2) ^ 2 +6[/tex], where,  [tex](y - 6) = (x + 2) ^ 2[/tex]

In the canonical equation of the parabola:

[tex](y - k) = (x + h) ^ 2[/tex], with the point (h, k) as the vertex, [tex]h = -2[/tex] and [tex]k = 6[/tex].

Conclusion: the coordinates of the vertex are [tex](-2, -6)[/tex]

a recipe makes a total of 5 cups a serving of pudding is 3/4 cup how many servings of pudding does the recipe make?

Answers

Final answer:

To find the number of servings of pudding the recipe makes, divide the total number of cups by the serving size. The recipe makes approximately 6.67 servings of pudding.

Explanation:

To find the number of servings of pudding the recipe makes, divide the total number of cups by the serving size. In this case, the recipe makes 5 cups and each serving is 3/4 cup. So, to find the number of servings, divide 5 cups by 3/4 cup: 5 cups ÷ (3/4 cup) = 5 cups × (4/3 cup) = 20/3 servings

Therefore, the recipe makes approximately 6.67 servings of pudding.

Jane can pack 48 shirts into each box. round to the nearest compatible numbers to estimate how many boxes she will need to box 1,453 shirts

Answers

1400 would be the answer i belive 

Answer: There are 30 boxes for 1453 shirts.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of shirts = 48

Number of box for 48 shirts = 1

We need to adjust number of boxes she will need to box 1453 shirts.

So, number of boxes would be

[tex]\dfrac{1453}{48}\\\\=30.27\\\\\approx 30[/tex]

Hence, there are 30 boxes for 1453 shirts.

Let c be parametrized by x = et sin (10t) and y = et cos (10t) for 0 ≤ t ≤ 2. find the length l of
c. l = 2 correct: your answer is correct.

Answers

Final answer:

To find the length of the curve c parameterized by given equations, we differentiate these equations with respect to t, find the magnitude of the derivative vector, and integrate this magnitude from t = 0 to t = 2.

Explanation:Finding the Length of Parametrized Curve

To find the length L of a curve c parametrized by x = et sin(10t) and y = et cos(10t) for 0 ≤ t ≤ 2, we use the formula for the arc length of a curve given in parametric form. The formula is L = ∫ |c'(t)| dt, where |c'(t)| represents the magnitude of the derivative of the parametric equations. The integral is evaluated over the given interval of t.

Step-by-step Explanation

First, compute the derivatives of the parametric equations: dx/dt and dy/dt.Next, find the magnitude of the velocity vector |c'(t)| = sqrt((dx/dt)^2 + (dy/dt)^2).Finally, integrate |c'(t)| from t = 0 to t = 2.

Using this approach, we find that the length L of the curve c over the interval from 0 to 2 is indeed 2, as verified by the calculus of parametric functions.

What are fissures and how are theu created by land subsidence?

Answers

as the land above subsides due to gaps in the soil underneath due to tectonic activity, the area above that sinks to a lower level, requires soil to cover that horizontal hole.

as soil is pulled in to this location, it has to come from somewhere and it comes from the nearby land mass, whilst covering that sink-hole made by this one gap underneath, the land mass splits on other parts where the extra soil came from, causing the fissure.

so the fissure is made from the extra soil used to cover the sink-hole, whilst covering the sink-hole made by the underneath gap, making another gap on the surface above, and that is what the fissure ends up as.

in a sense, the gap underneath kinda tranferred to above at the surface.

The circumference is 75, so to find the diameter you have to divide 75 by 3.14. You get 24 approximately. Then divide the diameter by 2, so 24/2=12.

3x-2=x
show work and check

Answers

Solving for the variable x boils down to isolating it, so we need to collect all of our x's on one side of the equation and "undo" any operations being performed on it.

First, we'll move the 2 over to the right side ("undoing" the subtraction on the left side by adding 2 to both sides):

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

Next, we'll subtract x from both sides to collect all of the terms on the left side of the equation:

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

Finally, "undo" the multiplication being performed on x by dividing both sides of the equation by 2:

(2x)/2=2/2
(2/2)x=2/2

2/2 is, of course, another form of 1, so simplifying, we get:

Tammy is at the dentist's office waiting on her appointment. She notices that the 6-inch-long minute hand is rotating around the clock and marking off time like degrees on a unit circle. Part 1: How many radians does the minute hand move from 1:20 to 1:55? (Hint: Find the number of degrees per minute first.)

Answers

There are 12 five minutes in one hour and 1 hour correspond to 360°, then each 5 minutes represents 360/12 = 30°

From 1:20 to 1: 55 we have 35 minutes or 7 x 5 minutes or

7 x 30° = 210° 

To convert degree into radian, we apply the following formula:

degree/180° = radian/π

210/180 = r/π or (cross multiplication) →Radian = (π x 210/180

→ Radian = 7π/6 (simplify by 30)

Answer:

Part 1:

In order to find how many radians the minute hand moves from 1:20 to 1:55, we need to remember that there are 60 minutes in an hour (clock) and there are 360 degrees in the clock since the clock is a circle. After dividing 360 by 60, we find that each minute is equal to 6 degrees. After that, we can subtract the times, which tells us that there are 35 minutes between 1:20 and 1:55. Using this we can just multiply this out, to get 35 times 6, which is equal to 210 degrees. We can get our final answer by converting this into degrees. Since one 1 degree is about 0.0174, we can set up a proportion. After solving, we will get that the minutes hand moves 3.555 radians in total.

One of the angles formed by two intersecting lines is 42°. What is the measure of the other three angles?

Answers

okay, so first lets think about the angle next to the 42 degree angle.
we know that those two angles must add to 180 degrees, so lets form an equation to figure out the other angle
42 + x = 180
subtract 42 from both sides
x = 138
so 138 degrees is the first AND the 3rd angle
the opposite angle from the 42 degree angle also happens to be 42 degrees

this is because there are two lines in total right?? if you draw out the 42 degree angle and the 138 degree angle, flip that upside down, the angles are the same!!

i hope this helps!!

Three times a first number decreased by a second number is 1. the first number increased by twice the second number is 12. find the numbers.

Answers

Final answer:

The first number is 2 and the second number is 5.

Explanation:

Let's represent the first number as x and the second number as y.

According to the problem, we have the following equations:

3x - y = 1 (Equation 1)

x + 2y = 12 (Equation 2)

To solve this system of equations, we can use the method of substitution. We can rearrange Equation 2 to solve for x:

x = 12 - 2y

Now, we substitute this value of x into Equation 1:

3(12 - 2y) - y = 1

Expand and solve for y:

36 - 6y - y = 1

Combine like terms:

-7y = -35

Divide both sides by -7:

y = 5

Now, substitute this value of y back into Equation 2 to find x:

x + 2(5) = 12

x + 10 = 12

Subtract 10 from both sides:

x = 2

Therefore, the first number is 2 and the second number is 5.

Answer: The length of an arc is 2.98 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Radius of a circle = 3 feet

Angle subtended at the centre = 57°

We need to find the length of an arc:

As we know the formula for "Length of an arc":

[tex]Length=\dfrac{\theta}{360^\circ}\times 2\pi r\\\\Length=\dfrac{57}{360}\times 2\times \dfrac{22}{7}\times 3\\\\Length=2.98\ feet[/tex]

Hence, the length of an arc is 2.98 feet.

We know that speed is defined as the ratio of distance and time.

Here we are given distance and time in each of the options and we will check the speed of each and arrange them in increasing order.

1)

33 miles in 6 minutes

The speed is:

[tex]\dfrac{33\ \text{miles}}{6\ \text{minutes}}=5.5\ \text{miles\ per\ minute}[/tex]

2)

26 miles in 4 minutes

The speed is:

[tex]\dfrac{26\ \text{miles}}{4\ \text{minutes}}=6.5\ \text{miles\ per\ minute}[/tex]

3)

60 miles in 8 minutes

The speed is:

[tex]\dfrac{60\ \text{miles}}{8\ \text{minutes}}=7.5\ \text{miles\ per\ minute}[/tex]

4)

17 miles in 2 minutes

The speed is:

[tex]\dfrac{17\ \text{miles}}{2\ \text{minutes}}=8.5\ \text{miles\ per\ minute}[/tex]

Since,

[tex]5.5\ \text{miles\ per\ minute}<6.5\ \text{miles\ per\ minute}<7.5\ \text{miles\ per\ minute}<8.5\ \text{miles\ per\ minute}[/tex]
