Question 4 of 10
What is the result of converting 20 ounces into pounds? Remember that 1
pound = 16 ounces.

Answer:

a=-3

Step-by-step explanation:

5a+a=-10-8

6a=-18

a=-18/6

a=-3

Answer:

  a = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a linear equation in one variable that has a constant term and a variable term on each side of the equal sign. It can be solved in 3 steps, so can be called a "3-step equation."

The three steps involve separating the variable and constant terms, then dividing by the variable's coefficient.

__

  -a -10 = 5a +8 . . . . . . given

To separate the variable and constant terms, we eliminate one of the variable terms by adding its opposite to both sides of the equation. It is generally convenient to choose the variable term with the lowest coefficient value. When we add the opposite of that to both sides of the equation, the resulting variable term will have a positive coefficient. (Dealing with positive numbers generally reduces errors.)

Here the two variable terms are -a and 5a. The coefficient -1 is less than the coefficient 5, so we choose to add the opposite of -a to both sides.

  -a +a -10 = 5a +a +8 . . . . . add a to both sides

  -10 = 6a +8 . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

Now there is only one variable term, but it has a constant added to it. We can eliminate that constant by adding its opposite.

  -10 -8 = 6a +8 -8 . . . . . add -8 to both sides

  -18 = 6a . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

This equation gives us the value of a multiple of the variable (6a). To get the variable by itself, we multiply by the reciprocal of the variable's coefficient. The product of the coefficient and its reciprocal is 1, so we will have the variable alone.

Multiplying by 1/6 is the same as dividing by 6. Often, it is easier to think in terms of division. However, when the coefficient is a fraction, it can be useful to think in terms of multiplying by the reciprocal of that fraction.

  (1/6)(-18) = (1/6)(6a) . . . . . . multiply by 1/6

  -3 = a . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . simplify

The solution to the equation is a = -3.

Additional comment

When we say "add" or "multiply" the equation by some number, we mean that operation to be performed on both sides of the equation. The properties of equality say we can do whatever we like to an equation, as long as we do the same thing to both sides of the equation.

Answer:

16/25 or 0.64

Step-by-step explanation:

First we separate the 5 from 5√x :

4 = 5×√x

Now we divide both sides by 5 :

4/5 = √x

Now we square both sides :

(4/5)² = x

Simplify :

16/25 = x

0.64 = x

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]3x + 2y = 39 \: \: \: \: \: 1 \ \\ \ 5x - y = 13 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 2 \\ y = 5x - 13 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: 3 \\ 3 > 1 \\ 3x+ 2(5x - 13) = 39 \\ 3x + 10x - 26 = 39 \\ 13x = 39 + 26 \: \: \: \: \: \: ( \div 13) \\ x = 5 \\ x = 5 > 3 \\ y = 5(5) - 13 \\ y = 12[/tex]

Answer:

(5, 12 )

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 2y = 39 → (1)

5x - y = 13 → (2)

multiplying (2) by 2 and adding to (1) will eliminate y

10x - 2y = 26 → (3)

add (1) and (3) term by term to eliminate y

13x + 0 = 65

13x = 65 ( divide both sides by 13 )

x = 5

substitute x = 5 into either of the 2 equations and solve for y

substituting into (1)

3(5) + 2y = 39

15 + 2y = 39 ( subtract 15 from both sides )

2y = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y = 12

solution is (5, 12 )

The area of the shape is 180 square feet if the length of the diagonals are 20 and 18 ft respectively, option (a) is correct.

It is defined as the four-sided polygon in geometry having four edges and four corners. Two pairs of congruent sides, and it has one pair of opposite congruent angles.

We know the area of the kite = pq/2

Where p and q are the length of the diagonals

p = 10+10 = 20 ft

q = 7+11 = 18 ft

Area = (20×18)/2

Area = 180 square feet

Thus, the area of the shape is 180 square feet if the length of the diagonals are 20 and 18 ft respectively option (a) is correct.

The value of the cos P + cos Q is 7/5 if sin Q = 4/5 after applying the identities of trigonometric.

Trigonometry is a branch of mathematics that deals with the relationship between sides and angles of a right-angle triangle.

We know that:

P + Q are complementary, which means that

P+Q = 90°

Then R is a right angle, i.e. it measures 90°.

sin(90-x) = cos (x)

cos(90-x) = sin (x)

Then sinQ = 4/5  

cos(90-Q) = cosP = 4/5

Now sin²(P) + cos²(P) = 1

sin²(P) = 1 - cos²(P)

sin²(P) = 1 -[4/5]² =9/25

sin(P) = 3/5

cos(Q) = sin(P) = 3/5

cos(P) + cos(Q) = 4/5 + 3/5 = 7/5

Thus, the value of the cos P + cos Q is 7/5 if sin Q = 4/5 after applying the identities of trigonometric.

50 (total) = x + 1/4 + 5/8 than solve for x

how much money leftover (x)

= total - spent on gif card - spent on new wallet

x = 50 - 1 / 4 - 5 / 8

Solution:

x = 50 - 1/4 - 5/8

x = 50 - 12.5 - 5/8

x = 50 - 12.5 - 31.25

x = 6.25

We found that the leftover amount is $6.25.

Therefore, the leftover amount of money with a starting amount of $50.00 and purchasing a gift card and new wallet is in fact $6.25.

An equation is formed of two equal expressions. The equation of the perpendicular bisector is y=(1/3)x.

An equation is formed when two equal expressions are equated together with the help of an equal sign '='.

The equation of the line that passes through  (2, 4), (3, 1), and (4,-2), are,

m = (4-1)/(2-3) = 3/-1 = -3

Since the product of the slope of two perpendicular lines is -1. The slope of the perpendicular line is,

m₁m₂ = -1

(-3) m₂ = -1

m₂ = 1/3

Since the line is the perpendicular bisector it will pass through midpoint,

1 = (1/3)(3) + C

1 = 1 + C

C = 0

Hence, the equation of the perpendicular bisector is y=(1/3)x.

Answer:

17/10 or 1 7/10

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Write down the number as a fraction of one:

1.7 = 1.7/1

Step 2: Multiply both top and bottom by 10 for every number after the decimal point:

As we have 1 numbers after the decimal point, we multiply both numerator and denominator by 10. So,

1.7/1

= (1.7 × 10)/ (1 × 10)

= 17/10

(This fraction is alread reduced, We can't reduce it any further).

As the numerator is greater than the denominator, we have an IMPROPER fraction, so we can also express it as a MIXED NUMBER, thus 17/

10 is also equal to 1 7/10 when expressed as a mixed number.

Sasha has used the theoretical probability which assumes that all the possibilities have an equal chance of occurring but in reality, the chances of each probability happening are not going to be equally split with the chances of the bus being on time being slightly higher than being early or late. This is called the experimental probability where you actually test out the probability of the bus being on time, early or late which is much more accurate than the general, theoretical probability.

The values of n that either player has a winning strategy is when the number of points are odd such as 3:-

The game is begun by A and then its chance of B to play the game alternatively, then all the possible moves are 1,2; 2,3; 1,3 in which all possible pairs are selected.

If the game end on an even number of moves then the game is won by A. For B to win, these points should be connected at the very end of the game.

Similarly, for even number of moves B wins the game when number of points is odd.

If the number of points is even the opposite of this happens that is, for even moves B wins and for odd number of moves A wins.

Answer:

9 is 15% of 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\text{Formula}=\frac{\text{Number x 100}}{\text{Percent}} =\frac{9 \times100}{15} =60[/tex]

Following shows the steps on how to derive this formula and find out 15% of what number is 9.

Step 1: If 15% of a number is 9, then what is 100% of that number? Setup the equation.

[tex]\frac{9}{15} = \frac{Y}{100}[/tex]%

Step 2: Solve for Y

Using cross multiplication of two fractions, we get

[tex]15Y=6\times100\\15Y=600[/tex]

Y = [tex]\frac{600}{100} =60[/tex]

The requried 15% of 60 is equal to 9, as of the given percentage situation.

The percentage is the ratio of the composition of matter to the overall composition of matter multiplied by 100.

Here,
To find the number that 15% of is equal to 9, we can set up a proportion:

15% of x = 9

Converting 15% to a decimal:

0.15x = 9

Dividing both sides by 0.15 gives:

x = 60

Therefore, 15% of 60 is equal to 9.
