Answer:

3 sips = 1 gulp

Step-by-step explanation:

We will solve this problem using the given simultaneous equations. We will use either substitution or elimination. For this problem, we will use elimination.

Let s = No. of sips

Let g = No. of gulps

5s + 4g = 1 -> (1)

13s + 7g = 2 -> (2)

We will multiply the first equation by 7 and multiply the second equation by 4 so that both equations have '28g'.

5s + 4g = 1 -> (1) × 7

13s + 7g = 2 -> (2) × 4

------------------------------

35s + 28g = 7

52s + 28g = 8

We will subtract the second equation from the first equation.

- 17s = - 1

s = - 1 / - 17

s = 1 / 17

We will substitute the obtained value for 's' into the first equation to solve for 'g'.

5 ( 1 / 17 ) + 4g = 1 -> (1)

5 / 17 + 4g = 1

4g = 1 - 5 / 17

g = ( 12 / 17 ) / 4

g = 3 / 17

Therefore, as 3 / 17 ÷ 1 / 17 = 3:

3 sips = 1 gulp

Solve for x in the equation x squared + 14 x + 17 = negative 96. x = negative 7 plus-or-minus 4 StartRoot 6 EndRoot i x = –7 ± 8

blagie [28]

Answer:

$x=-7\pm8i$

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$x^{2} +14x+17=-96$

Equate to zero

$x^{2} +14x+17+96=0$

$x^{2} +14x+113=0$

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$x^{2} +14x+113=0$

$a=1\\b=14\\c=113$

substitute in the formula

$x=\frac{-14\pm\sqrt{14^{2}-4(1)(113)}} {2(1)}$

$x=\frac{-14\pm\sqrt{-256}} {2}$

Remember that

$i=\sqrt{-1}$

$x=\frac{-14\pm16i} {2}$

$x=-7\pm8i$

The hypotenuse of a 45°-45°-90° triangle measures 10 StartRoot 5 EndRoot in. A right triangle is shown. The hypotenuse has a len

suter [353]

Answer:

$5\sqrt{10}\ units$

5 StartRoot 10 EndRoot

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The legs of a 45°-45°-90° triangle are congruent

Let

x ----> the length of one leg of the triangle

Applying the Pythagorean Theorem

$c^2=a^2+b^2$

where

c is the hypotenuse

a and b are the legs

we have

$c=10\sqrt{5}\ units$

$a=b=x\ units$

substitute

$(10\sqrt{5})^2=x^2+x^2$

$500=2x^2\\x^2=250\\x=\sqrt{250}\ units$

Simplify

$x=5\sqrt{10}\ units$

If ce = 7x+4, find the value of x

Alex787 [66]

Hey there,

To find the value of x we can take the two, CD or DE and set them equal to CE.

First step is set the lines equal to each other:

x + 3 + 8x - 9 = 7x + 4

Now we combine like terms:

9x - 6 = 7x + 4

Then we subtract 7x from both sides:

2x - 6 = 4

Add 6 to both sides:

2x = 10

Lastly we divide both sides by 2:

x = 5

So the value of x would have to be 5.

Hope I helped,

paloma eats 2/8 of an apple in the morning and 3/8 more in the afternoon. how much of an apple did she eat in total

marishachu [46]

Step-by-step explanation:

in this problem, we are solving for the amount of apple that Paloma eats

1. she ate 2/8 of a complete apple -hence the will be a remainder, we will find

that remainder

2. she also ate 3/8 of the remainder for lunch

3. we then proceed to calculate all apple she ate in total

$1. \frac{2}{8} *1= \frac{1}{4} \\\\1-\frac{1}{4}= \frac{4-1}{4} = \frac{3}{4}$

2 she ate 3/8 of the remaining 3/4 apple

$1. \frac{3}{8} *\frac{3}{4} = \frac{9}{32}$

3. in total she ate 1/4+ 9/32

$\frac{1}{4} +\frac{9}{32} = \frac{8+9}{32} = \frac{17}{32}$
