Answer:

x=2

Step-by-step explanation:

7/8(-32)-7/8(48x)+36=2/3(-33x)-2/3(18)-10x

= -224/8-336x/8+36

=-66x/3-36/3-10x.

Simplifying the fractions

-28-42x+36=-22x-12-10x.

Combining like terms

-42x+8=-32x-12.

Add 32x to both sides:

-42x+8+32x=-32x-12+32x

-10x+8=-12.

Subtract 8 from both sides:

-10x+8-8=-12-8

-10x=-20.

Divide both sides by -10:

-10x/-10 = -20/-10

x=2.

Solve for ttt. 4\left(t+\dfrac14\right) = 34(t+ 4 1 )=34, left parenthesis, t, plus, start fraction, 1, divided by, 4, end fra

Tema [17]

Answer:

$t=\frac{1}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to solve for the value of t in the equation

$4(t+\frac{1}{4})=3$

Since we are trying to make t the subject of the formula (or isolate t)

Divide both sides by 4

$\dfrac{4(t+\frac{1}{4})}{4} =\dfrac{3}{4}$

This gives us:

$t+\frac{1}{4} =\frac{3}{4}$

Next, we subtract $\dfrac{1}{4}$ from both sides

$t+\frac{1}{4}-\frac{1}{4} =\frac{3}{4}-\frac{1}{4}\\t=\dfrac{3-1}{4}=\frac{2}{4}=\frac{1}{2}\\t=\frac{1}{2}$

Which ordered pair minimizes the objective function C = 60x + 85y?. (0, 160). (55, 70). (80, 50). (170, 0)

dangina [55]

Step-by-step explanation:

The given objective function is $C = 60x + 85y$

To check that which ordered pair is minimizing the objective function-we will substitute all the ordered pair one by one in the given function and we will calculate the value of C. The ordered pair which will give the minimum value will be the answer.

For (0, 160)

$C=60\times 0+85\times 160=13600$

For (55, 70)

$C=60\times 55+85\times 70=9250$

For (80, 50)

$C=60\times 80+85\times 50=9050$

For (80, 50)

$C=60\times 170+85\times 0=10200$

Hence the ordered pair which minimizes the objective function is (80, 50)

The ratio of Dina’s bathing suits to Yana’s bathing suits was 4:1. After Dina threw out 26 of her bathing suits, she had 2 less

VARVARA [1.3K]

Dina : Yana : Difference
4 :1 : 4-1
4: 1: 3

she threw away 26 and is now 2 less (which means if she has threw away 24, they wil have the same)

Given from the ratio above, the difference is 3 parts
3 parts = 24
1 part = 24 ÷ 3 = 8
4 parts = 8 x 4 = 32

Dina had 32 at first
