−4(5 − 3x) = 12x + 20

Solve for x:

First use the Distributive property:

-20 + 12x = 12x +20

Add 20 to both sides:

12x =12x + 40

Now you can't get X by itself, because both sides of the equation have the same quantity of x ( they both have 12x).

This means there is no solution.

Answer:

no solution

Step-by-step explanation:−4(5 − 3x) = 12x + 20

−20 + 12x = 12x + 20

−20 = 20 → Since the values are not equal, there is no solution.

blsea [12.9K]

Options

-2.5
-2
$-1\dfrac{9}{10}$
-1

Answer:

(B) -2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the list

$-34.-2\dfrac{3}{4} ,x, -1.5,0,2.3,10,25\dfrac15$

This list has been arranged in order from the least to the greatest.

We are required to find an Integer that can be inserted on the blank line (I have used x) in the list.

An integer is defined as a positive or negative whole number.

Out of the given options, only -1 and -2 are integers. However:

-1 is greater than -1.5

Therefore, it cannot be our result.

The correct answer is -2.

Complete the equation of the line through (2,-2)(2,−2)left parenthesis, 2, comma, minus, 2, right parenthesis and (4,1)(4,1)left

Daniel [21]

Answer:

$y=\frac{3}{2}x-5$

Step-by-step explanation:

There are a couple of ways to solve this, depending on what you already know.

Point-Slope Form

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)$ where m is the slope and $(x_1, y_1)$ is a point on the line.

First, calculate the slope using the two given points $(x_1, y_1), (x_2, y_2)$ .

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{1-(-2)}{4-2}=\frac{3}{2}$ .

Fill in the point-slope pattern

$y-(-2)=\frac{3}{2}(x-2) \\ y+2=\frac{3}{2}x-3 \\ y=\frac{3}{2}x-5$

There's the equation in slope-intercept form ( $y=mx+b$ ).

Slope-Intercept Form

Use $y=mx+b$ directly.

Find the slope just like the above, so $m=\frac{3}{2}$ .

Now, plug one of the points (either one!) together with m into

$y=mx+b\\-2=\frac{3}{2}(2)+b \\ -2=3+b \\ b=-5$

Now you know the value of b, so the equation for the line is

$y=\frac{3}{2}x-5$

In the roof truss, line BG bisects ∠ABC and ∠DEF, m∠ABC= 112°, and ∠ABC≅∠DEF.

Dennis_Churaev [7]

In the given diagram, line BG bisects ∠ABC and ∠DEF, m∠ABC= 112°, and ∠ABC≅∠DEF. So the measure of angles are :

1. m∠DEF= 112° because ∠ABC≅∠DEF

2. m∠ABG= 56° because a straight line BG is bisecting ∠ABC in two equal parts. So, $\frac{112}{2} = 56$

3. m∠CBG= 56° because ∠ABG and ∠CBG are equal.

4. m∠DEG= 56° because ∠ABG ≅ ∠DEG

You are curious why some apartments in West Campus cost more to rent than others. So you sample 30 one-bedroom apartments from a

Sonja [21]

Answer:

the monthly rents of the apartments

Step-by-step explanation:

In the field of statistics, the population of interest may be defined as the group or the population from which the experimenter or the researcher tries to make conclusions or draw their results.

In the context, I am interested to study the cost of the rented house that is more than others in the West Campus area.

So I recorded the monthly rents of the apartments from a sample of 30 one bedroom apartments.

Therefore, the population of interest for my study here is the monthly rents recorded from the sample of one bedroom apartments.

Model Exponential Growth Question :A sample of bacteria is growing at a continuously compounding rate. The sample triples in 10

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The number of bacteria $B$ after $d$ days is given by

$B = B_0 (3)^{\frac{1}{10} d}$

where $B_0$ is the initial number of bacteria.

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of bacteria $B$ in the sample triples every 10 days, this means after the first 10th day, the number of bacteria is

$B = B_0 *3,$

where $B_0$ is the initial number of bacteria in the sample.

After the 2nd 10th days, the number of bacteria is

$B = (B_0 *3)*3$

after the 3rd day,

$B =( B_0 *3*3)*3$

and so on.

Thus, the formula we get for the number of bacteria after the nth 10-days is

$B = B_0 (3)^n$

where $n$ is is the nth 10-days.

Since, $n$ is 10 days, we have

$d =10n$

$n =\dfrac{1}{10}$

Substituting that into $B = B_0 (3)^n$ , we get:

$\boxed{ B = B_0 (3)^{\frac{1}{10} d}}$
