What value of x makes the equation -4x – (-3 − 5x) = -3(2x − 8) true?

Budget planners in two towns, Alphaville and Betaville, developed models to determine the budget surplus (in dollars) for a year

kramer

Answer:

(a) $-3x^2+150x-10000$

(b) $-\$16,863,760,000$

Step-by-step explanation:

Alphaville's Budget Surplus Model is $-2x^2+ 500x$

Betaville's Budget Surplus Model is $x^2- 100x + 10000.$

We want to determine the expression that shows how much greater Alphaville’s annual budget surplus is than Betaville’s for a particular amount of tax revenue.

To do this, we subtract Betaville's Model from Alphaville's model.

$-2x^2+ 500x-(x^2- 100x + 10000)\\$

Opening the brackets

$-2x^2+ 500x-x^2+100x - 10000\\$

Collect like terms and simplify

$-2x^2-x^2+100x + 500x- 10000\\=-3x^2+150x-10000$

The expression that shows how much greater Alphaville's Budget is:

$-3x^2+150x-10000$

(b) If the tax revenue that year in each town is $75,000

We want to evaluate the expression derived above when the tax revenue that year in each town is $75,000 i.e.at x=75000

$-3x^2+150x-10000\\=-3(75000)^2+150(75000)-10000\\=-\$16,863,760,000$

A cement bridge post is 24 inches square and 15 feet 9 inches in length. If the cement weighs 145 pounds per cubic foot, how muc

lisov135 [29]

Answer:

The answer is option (C), One cement bridge post weighs 9,135 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Get the total volume of a cement bridge post

The cement bridge post is in the shape of a cuboid, therefor the volume of the cement bridge post can be expressed as;

Volume of cement bridge post=Base area×Length

where;

Base area=(24^2) inches square

1 foot=12 inches

Convert 24 inches to foot=24/12=2^2=4 feet²

Length=15 feet and 9 inches

1 foot=12 inches

Convert 9 inches to foot=9/12=0.75 feet

Total length=(15+0.75)=15.75 feet

replacing;

Volume of cement bridge post=(4×15.75)=63 cubic feet

Volume of cement bridge post=63 cubic feet

Step 2: Get the total weight of the cement bridge post

Total weight of the cement bridge post=Weight per cubic foot×total volume of the cement bridge post

where;

Weight per cubic foot=145 pounds per cubic foot

Total volume of the cement bridge post=63 cubic feet

replacing;

Total weight of the cement bridge post=(145×63)=9,135 pounds

One cement bridge post weighs 9,135 pounds

Lesson 3 homework practice mean absolute deviation

Natali5045456 [20]

Assuming that am supposed to calculate the the mean absolute deviation of
1,2,3,4,5,6,7
mean absolute deviation is calculated by first calculating the mean;
(1+2+3+4+5+6+7) =28/7
= 4
Then, find the absolute value (the difference between each value in the data and the mean) (x-μ)
= -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3
Absolute values= 3,2,1,0,1,2,3
Then we find the mean of the values,
3+2+1+0+1+2+3 = 12
= 12/7
= 1.7143
Therefore, the mean is 4, and the Mean absolute deviation is 1.7143

Circle A and circle B are congruent. CD is a chord of both circles. If AB = 8 ft and CD = 6 ft, how long is a radius?

bazaltina [42]

Let us say that the intersection point of lines AB and CD is called point E. The lines AB and CD are perpendicular to each other which also means that the triangle CEB is a right triangle.

Where the line CB is the radius of the circle while the side lengths are half of the whole line segment:

EB = 0.5 AB = 0.5 (8 ft) = 4 ft

CE = 0.5 CD = 0.5 (6 ft) = 3 ft

Now using the hypotenuse formula since the triangle is right triangle, we can find for the radius or line CB:

CB^2 = EB^2 + CE^2

CB^2 = (4 ft)^2 + (3 ft)^2

CB^2 = 16 ft^2 + 9 ft^2

CB^2 = 25 ft^2

<span>CB = 5 ft = radius</span>
