Aseem and Stana are building model cars. Stana's car is 5 less than 2 times the length of Aseem's car. The sum of the lengths of

both cars is 20 inches. Write an equation to determine the lengths of Aseem's and Stana's cars.
1. 2x − 5 + x = 20
2. 5 − 2x + x = 20
3. 2x − 5 = 20
4. 5 − 2x = 20

Answer:

1. 2x - 5 + x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Aseem's car as x,

Stana's = 5 less than 2x

= 2x - 5

Aseem's + Stana's = 20

x + 2x - 5 = 20

2x - 5 + x = 20

Answer:

Equation to determine the lengths of Aseem's and Stana's cars is:

1. 2x − 5 + x = 20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let length of Aseem's car= x

Stana's car is 5 less than 2 times the length of Aseem's car.

i.e. Length of Stana's car= 2x-5

The sum of the lengths of both cars is 20 inches.

i.e. 2x-5+x= 20

Hence,  equation to determine the lengths of Aseem's and Stana's cars is:

1. 2x − 5 + x = 20

URGENT<br>Which of the following is the graph of y=0.5sec (x+pi/3)-2?
arlik [135]

Answer:

See attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given function is

y=0.5\sec(x+\frac{\pi}{3})-2

This is the graph of y=\sec(x) that is shifted down 2 units and shifted to the left \frac{\pi}{3} units.

When x=0, y=0.5\sec(0+\frac{\pi}{3})-2

y=0.5\sec(\frac{\pi}{3})-2

y=1-2=-1

The y-intercept is -1.

The correct choice is shown in the attachment

What is the difference between factoring and solving ?
trapecia [35]

Answer:

Factoring is a step taken towards solving a quadratic equation. ... You cannot factor them, the only way to find the roots then, is by using the quadratic formula. Suppose you factor the quadratic polynomial as and . Then set them equal to zero and solve for , you will have

Step-by-step explanation.

Example 1 – Solve: x2 + 16 = 10x

Step 1: Write the equation in the correct form. In this case, we need to set the equation equal to zero with the terms written in descending order.

Step 2: Use a factoring strategies to factor the problem.

Step 3: Use the Zero Product Property and set each factor containing a variable equal to zero.

Step 4: Solve each factor that was set equal to zero by getting the x on one side and the answer on the other side.

Which statement is true about the discontinuities of the function f(x)?
Tema [17]

Answer:

There are asymptotes at x = three-halves and x = negative one-third.

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = (x + 1)/ (6x^2 - 7x - 3)

= (x + 1)( / (6x^2 + 2x - 9x  - 3)

= (x + 1) / (2x(3x + 1) - 3(3x + 1))

= (x + 1) / (2x - 3)(3x + 1)

Now x = 3/2 and x = -1/3 both make te denominator zero so these   are both asymptotes.

If the product of two consecutive integers is decreased by 20 times the greater integer, the result is 442. find the integers
Contact [7]
Let the first integer be x.  Then the next consecutive integer is x+1.

Translating the word problem into symbols, x(x+1)-20(x+1) = 442.

Then x^2 + x - 20x - 20 = 442

or      x^2 - 19x - 462 = 0

Solve by completing the square:

          x^2 - 19x + 90.25 - 90.25 - 462 = 0

           (x-9.5)^2 - 552.25 = 0

Taking the positive square root of both sides, we get x-9.5 = 23.5, or
                                                                                    x        = 33

The two consecutive integers are 33 and 34.

Check:  (33)(34)-20(34) = 442 (as expected).

A trampoline salesman makes $25,000 annually plus 6% commission on his total sales. If he sold $40,000 worth of trampolines this
Katarina [22]

Multiply sales by 6%

40,000 x 0.06 = 2,400

Add that to his base pay:

2400 + 25000 = $27,400 total pay.
