The equation given is –2x – 4 + 5x = 8, and the task is to find the value of x. To start, combine like terms and reorganize the equation:
-2x + 5x = 8 + 4
Next, simplify both sides:
3x = 12
Divide both sides by 3 to isolate x:
x = 4.
Therefore, the solution for x is 4.
Response:
Detailed explanation:
The length of the pool is longer than its width by 8 meters.
If we designate L as length and W as width, we can express this as:
L = 8 + W
We also know that the area amounts to 105 m squared.
Note:
Area of a Rectangle = Length x Width
Thus, 105 = (8 + W) x W
To adjust the equation, subtract 105 from both sides:
According to the rule of 72,
72/rate=time
72÷9.6=7.5 years
An alternative method for resolution using the main formula
2300=1150(1+0.096/4)^4t
Isolate t
t=((log(2,300÷1,150)÷log(1+(0.096÷4))÷4))=7.31 years
I hope this is helpful:-)
To round the figure 47,125 to the closest tenth, hundredth, and thousandth, it's essential to recognize the positions of these places. The tens position is the second digit from the right. The hundreds position is the third, and the thousands position is the digit immediately following the comma. For rounding to the tens place, you must inspect the digit directly behind it (the ones place) and evaluate. If this digit is between 0-4, you won’t round the tens place, but if it falls between 5-9, rounding is permissible. The same regulation applies when rounding up for the hundreds and thousands places. Consequently, the number arrived at is - 47,135.
To determine the rates at which the inlet and outlet pipes fill and empty the reservoir, we remember that work done equals rate multiplied by time. Let’s denote the inlet rate as i and for the outlet pipe as 0. Therefore,
i(24) = 1
o(28) = 1
In this context, the '1' represents the total number of reservoirs, since the problem states the time needed for each pipe to either fill or empty a singular reservoir. Solving for rates yields:
i = 1/24 reservoirs/hour
o = 1/28 reservoirs/hour
Over the first six hours, the inlet pipe fills (1/24)(6) = 1/4 reservoirs and during the same period, the outlet pipe empties (1/28)(6) = 3/14 reservoirs. To calculate the net volume of the reservoir filled, we subtract the emptying total from the filling total:
1/4 - 3/14 = 1/28 reservoirs (note that if emptying exceeds filling, a negative value results. In such cases, treat that negative value as zero, indicating that the outlet rate surpasses the inlet rate, leading to an empty reservoir).
Now we need to find out how long it will take to fill up one reservoir since we’ve already partially filled 1/28 of it, after closing the outlet pipe. In simpler terms, we need to determine the time required for the inlet pipe to finish filling the remaining 27/28 of the reservoir. Fortunately, we have already established the filling rate for the inlet pipe, leading to the equation:
(1/24)t = 27/28
Solving for t gives us 23.14 hours. Remember to add the initial 6 hours to this result since the question seeks the total time. Thus, the final total is 29.14 hours.
