Explain the steps you use to solve the equation: 2(x-2) =26

Answers

Answer 1

Solution:

Simplify the distributive property and solve.

2(x - 2) = 26=> 2x - 4 = 26=> 2x = 26 + 4=> 2x = 30=> x = 15

The solution to the equation is 15.

Answer 2

Your required solution :

Let us solve this equation..!!

Firstly multiplying 2 by (x - 2)

2 × (x - 2) = 26

2x - 4 = 26

On transposing -4 to R.H.S. it would be positive,

2x = 26 + 4

2x = 30

On dividing 30 by 2 we gets,

x = 30/2

x = 15

Therefore, value of x is 15.

2x/ y + y/ x =3
3x-y=2​

Answers

Answer:

x = 1 and y = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

2x/y + y/x = 3

3x - y = 2

we first of all get the simple equation from the two equations and in this case we will use substitution method

3x - y = 2

then we make y the subject of the formula

y = 3x - 2

let's use y on the top equation to substitute

2x/y + y/x = 3

2x/3x - 2 + 3x - 2/x

like terms cancel

thus:

2x/1 + 1/x = 3

3x -2x = 1

x = 1

AND

AND since we have x, we still use substitution method to find y

3x - 2 = y

3 (1) - 2 = y

3 - 2 = y

y = 1

A bag contains 7 green marbles,2 white marble s, 5 orange marbles,9 blue marbles, and 7 red marbles. a marble will be drawn from the bag and replaced 180 times what is a reasonable prediction for the number of times a white or red marble will be drawn?

Answers

The reasonable probability that a white or red marble will be drawn all 180 times is; (3/10)¹⁸⁰.

Probability with replacement

Since the probability is with replacement;

First, the total number of marbles in the bag is; 7+2+9+5+7 = 30.

Hence, the probability that a white or red ball is drawn each time is; 2+7 = 9 possible outcomes.

Hence, it follows that the probability for white or red each time is; 9/30 = 3/10

Hence, when drawn 180 times, the probability is;

P = (3/10)¹⁸⁰.

Answer:

5.1

Step-by-step explanation:

multiply the length value by 2.54

2x2.54=5.08, which rounds to 5.1

if the given length is 2 inches. The obtained length in the centimeter will be 5.1 cm to the nearest tenth.

What is unit conversion?

It is defined as the conversion from one quantity unit to another quantity unit followed by the process of division, and multiplication by a conversion factor.

It is given that, the length is 2 inches.

We have to convert the given length is in centimeters,

As we know,1 inch consists of 2.54 cm.

1 inches = 2.54 cm

So for 2 inches, we have to multiply the obtained data by 2 as,

2 inches = 2.54 × 2

2 inches = 5.08 cm

The obtained value to the nearest tenth will be 5.1 cm.

Thus, if the given length is 2 inches. The obtained length in the centimeter will be 5.1 cm to the nearest tenth.

The distance the particle travels is the area under the v-t graph over the time interval from 0 min to 4 min.  The reason you can't just multiply velocity by time is that the velocity is changing at a constant rate over the given time interval (the line is going upward--the particls is speeding up).

What's the area under the graph?

1. Howard's CD House sells new CDs for $15 each and used CDs for $6 each. Bre'anna bought 51 CDs and spent a
total of $576 on the CDs. If n represents the number of new CDs, and u represents the number of used CDs, how
many of each type of CD did she buy?

Answers

The numbers of new CDs is 30 and the old CDs is 21.

To solve this problem, we have to write a system of equations in which we would know the numbers of each types of CD she bought.

System of Equations

This is used to solve a series or complex of word problems in which we can represent in a mathematical statements;

Let n represents numbers of new CDsLet u represents numbers of old CDs

The equations can be represented as

[tex]n + u = 51 ...equation(i)\\15n + 6u = 576 ... equation(ii)[/tex]

Let's take equation (i)

Making n the subject of formula

[tex]n + u = 51\\n = 51 - u...equation(iii)[/tex]

we can put equation (iii) into equation (ii)

[tex]15n + 6u =576\\n = 51 - u\\15(51 - u) + 6u = 576\\765-15u + 6u = 576\\collect like terms\\765-576=15u - 6u\\189=9u\\9u/9 = 189/9\\u = 21[/tex]

Let's put the value of u into equation (i)

[tex]n + u = 51\\u = 21\\n + 21 = 51\\n = 51 - 21\\n = 30[/tex]

From the calculations above, the numbers of new CDs is 30 and the old CDs is 21.
