Answer:

See steps below

Step-by-step explanation:

-3(2x+7)=-29-4x

Use the distributive property

-6x-21=-29-4x

Add 21 to each side

-6x=-8-4x

Add 4x to both sides

-2x=-8

Divide by -2

x=4

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

<u>The correct answer is that the number of different ways that the letters of the word "millennium" can be arranged is 226,800</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information provided to us to answer the question correctly:

Number of letters of the word "millennium" = 10

Letters repeated:

m = 2 times

i = 2 times

l = 2 times

n = 2 times

2. The number of different ways that the letters of millennium can be arranged is:

We will use the n! or factorial formula, this way:

10!/2! * 2! * 2! * 2!

(10 * 9 * 8 * 7 * 6 * 5 * 4 * 3 * 2 * 1)/(2 * 1) * (2 * 1) * (2 * 1) * (2 *1)

3'628,800/2*2*2*2 = 3'628,800/16 = 226,800

<u>The correct answer is that the number of different ways that the letters of the word "millennium" can be arranged is 226,800</u>

Which statement correctly describes the slope of the linear function that is represented by the data in the table? x y 8 –8 8 –4
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

slope=change in y/change in x

one way is t pick 2 points, (x1,y1) and (x2,y2)

the slope is (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

pick some points

(8,4) and (8,0)

slope=(0-4)/(8-8)=-4/0=undefined

the slope is undefined

there is no slope.

Your appropriate choice is ...
  Yes. When the function f(x) = x3 − 75x + 250 is divided by x + 10, the remainder is zero. Therefore, x + 10 is a factor of f(x) = x3 − 75x + 250.

The system of equations
cupoosta [38]

Answer:

z = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

The given system of equations is:

xy/(x + y) = 1 ...........................(1)

xz/(x + z) = 2...........................(2)

yz/(y + z) = 3...........................(3)

From (1): x + y = xy

=> y = xy - x

y = x(y - 1)

x = y/(y - 1).......................................(4)

From (2): 2(x + z) = xz

=> 2x + 2z = xz

2x = xz - 2z

2x = z(x - 2)

z = 2x/(x - 2) ....................................(5)

From (3): 3(y + z) = yz

=> 3y + 3z = yz

3y = yz - 3z

3y = z(y - 3)

z = 3y/(y - 3)....................................(6)

Comparing (5) and (6)

2x/(x - 2) = 3y/(y - 3)

2x(y - 3) = 3y(x - 2)

2xy - 6x = 3xy - 6y

6(y - x) = xy .................................(7)

But from (1): xy = x + y

Using this in (7), we have

6(y - x) = x + y

6y - y - 6x - x = 0

5y - 7x = 0

5y = 7x

x = 5y/7................................................(8)

Using this in (4)

5y/7 = y/(y - 1)

1/(y - 1) = 5/7

(y - 1) = 7/5

y = 1 + 7/5

y = 12/5..........................................(9)

Using this in (8)

x = 5(12/5)/7 = 12/7 .......................(10)

Using (10) in (5)

z = 2x/(x - 2)

z = 2(12/7) ÷ (12/7 - 2)

= 24/7 ÷ -2/7

= 24/7 × (-7/2)

= -24/2 = -12

z = -12.

The hypotenuse of a 45 -45° -90° triangle measures 18 cm. What is the length of one leg of the triangle?
sdas [7]
<h2>Steps</h2>

So the 45-45-90 triangle is considered to be a "special triangle" and has a rule with it. If the legs are x, then the hypotenuse is x√2. Since we know that the hypotenuse is 18, this means we can set up our equation as such:

x\sqrt{2} =18

From here we can solve for x. Firstly, divide both sides by √2.

x=\frac{18}{\sqrt{2}}

Next, we want to simplify this expression and to do that we first have to rationalize the denominator. With the right side, multiply the numerator and denominator by √2:

\frac{18}{\sqrt{2}}*\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{18\sqrt{2}}{2}\\\\\\x=\frac{18\sqrt{2}}{2}

Next, divide:

x=9\sqrt{2}

<h2>Answer</h2>

<u>In short, the length of one leg of the triangle is 9√2 cm.</u>
