Four times the sum of a number and 15 is at least 120. Let x represent the number. Find all possible values for x.

1 answer:

4 0

Four times the sum of a number and 15 is at least 120
Let ‘x’ represent the number.
"The sum of a number and 15"
This can be written mathematically as x + 15
Given that 4 times this sum is at least 120,
This means that 4 times the sum is greater than or equal to 120
This can be written mathematically as 4(x + 15) >= 120
Solving for x
4(x + 15) >= 120
4x + 60 >= 120
4x >= 120 – 60
4x >= 60
x >= 60/4
x >= 15
x is greater than or equal to 15 <span>

choli [55]

280÷7=40. 280-80 = 200. 200×280=5,600 Length divided by scale length to find the amount that each inch scale size equals 40 yards per inch. 5 inches equals 200 yards Then multiply length times width. 200x280=5,600 yds

What number must we multiply by $-\frac23$ to get a product of $\frac34$?

stich3 [128]

Let x be unknown number. If number x is multiplied by $-\dfrac{2}{3}$ and the product is equal to $\dfrac{3}{4},$ then

$x\cdot \left(-\dfrac{2}{3}\right)=\dfrac{3}{4}.$

To find x you should divide $\dfrac{3}{4}$ by $-\dfrac{2}{3}:$

$x=\dfrac{\dfrac{3}{4}}{-\dfrac{2}{3}}=\dfrac{3}{4}\cdot \left(-\dfrac{3}{2}\right)=-\dfrac{3\cdot 3}{4\cdot 2}=-\dfrac{9}{8}.$

Answer: $x=-\dfrac{9}{8}$

Given circle X with radius 10 units and chord AB with length 12 units, what is the length of segment CX, which bisects the chord

andrew-mc [135]

Consider the circle with center X, as shown in the figure.

Draw the diameter of the circle which is parallel to cherd AB, as shown in the figure.

Since the diameter and AB are parallel, then the line segment XC which bisects AB at C, will be perpendicular to AB.

SO triangle XCB is a right triangle. Thus the length of CX, by the Pythagorean theorem is

$\sqrt{ XB^{2}- CB^{2}} = \sqrt{ 10^{2}- CB^{6}}= \sqrt{100-36}= \sqrt{64}=8$ units.

Answer: 8 units
