Jada is solving the equation shown below.

Negative one-half (x + 4) = 6

Which is a possible first step to begin to simplify the equation? Select two options.
Divide both sides of the equation by –2.
Subtract 4 from both sides of the equation.
Multiply both sides of the equation by –2.
Distribute –2 over (x + 4).
Distribute Negative one-half over (x + 4).

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Distribute -1/2 over (x - 4)

Divide both sides of the equation by -2

Answer 2

The first step to begin to simplify the equation is to multiply both sides of the equation by -2

To find the first step to simplify the equation.

Given:

The given equation

=-1/2(x + 4) = 6

Simplification:

First, we will multiply both sides of the equation by -2

we get,

x + 4 = -12

x = -12-4 = -16

Hence, the value of x is -16.

Therefore, the first step is to multiply both sides of the equation by -2.

what is the center of a circle whose equation is x^2+y^2-12x-2y+12=0

Answers

Answer:

(6, 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

centre = (6, 1 )

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a circle in standard form is

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the centre and r is the radius

Given

x² + y² - 12x - 2y + 12 = 0

Collect the x and y terms together and subtract 12 from both sides

x² - 12x + y² - 2y = - 12

To obtain the equation in standard form use completing the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x/ y term )² to both sides

x² + 2(- 6)x + 36 + y² + 2(- 1)y + 1 = - 12 + 36 + 1

(x - 6)² + (y - 1)² = 25 ← in standard form

with centre = (6, 1 ) and radius = [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex] = 5

What is the experimental probability that a 10th-grade student chosen at random has at least one, but no more than two, siblings? Round to the nearest whole percent. 65% 70% 75% 80%

Answers

Answer:

the experimental probability is 70%

Step-by-step explanation:

PLEASE HELP, TIMEDThe table shows the results of a survey in which 10th-grade students were asked how many siblings (brothers and/or sisters) they have.

What is the experimental probability that a 10th-grade student chosen at random has at least one, but no more than two, siblings?

To the nearest whole percent, the experimental probability is

a. 65%.

b. 70%

c. 75%

d. 80%

We are given to find

the experimental probability that a 10th-grade student chosen at random has at least one, but no more than two, siblings

we know that

probability = ( number of favourable outcomes)/ ( total possible outcomes)

a 10th-grade student chosen at random has at least one, but no more than two, siblings

so, there can be one or two siblings

so, total number of such students =18+10=28

Number of favourable outcomes =28

total number of students =4+18+10+8=40

so, total favourable outcomes =40

now, we can find probability

[tex]p=\frac{28}{40}\\\\p=\frac{28}{40}\times 100\\\\p=70[/tex]

So,

Therefore, the experimental probability is 70%

what is the probability that the next person you meet was not born in February? No leap years.​

Answers

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since there are 28 days in a regular February and 365 days in a total year, the probability that a random person is born in February is 28/365. This means that the probability that they were NOT born in February is 337/365, or answer choice A. Hope this helps!

Answer:

a.

Step-by-step explanation:

A non leap year has 365 days. February of a non leap year has 28 days.

365 - 28 = 337

There are 337 days in a non leap year that are not in February.

p(not February) = 337/365

The profit p ( in hundreds of dollars ) that a company makes depends on the expenditure x ( in hundreds of dollars ) that the company spends advertising according to the model p(x) = -0.5x^2 +20x+230. What expenditure for advertising will yield maximum profit?

Answers

Answer:

Expenditure x (in hundreds of dollars) = $2,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Profit p (in hundreds of dollars)

Expenditure x (in hundreds of dollars)

p(x) = -0.5x² + 20x + 23

Find:

Expenditure for advertising .

Computation:

x = -(Cofficient of x) / 2(Cofficient of x²)

x = -(20) / 2(-0.5)

x =  20

Expenditure x (in hundreds of dollars) = 20 × $100

Expenditure x (in hundreds of dollars) = $2,000

one x-intercept for a parabola is at the point (1,0). use the factor method to find the other x-intercept for the parabola defined by y=2x^2+2x-4

Answers

Answer:

(- 2, 0 )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

y = 2x² + 2x - 4

To find the x- intercepts let y = 0, that is

2x² + 2x - 4 = 0 ( divide through by 2 )

x² + x - 2 = 0 ← in standard form

(x + 2)(x - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

x- intercepts are x = - 2, x = 1, that is

(1, 0 ) and (- 2, 0 )

The other x- intercept is (- 2, 0 )

A number is equal to twice a smaller number plus 3. Yhe same number is equal to twice the sum of smaller number and 1. How many soluyions are possible for this situation

Answers

Answer:

There is no solution to the problem

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the solutions to the problem you can write the situation in an algebraic form.

You have that a number is equal to twice a smaller number plus 3. This can be written as follow:

[tex]x=2y+3[/tex]      (1)

where x is the number and y is the smaller number

Furthermore, the same number x is equal to twice the sum of the smaller number and 1, which can be written as follow:

[tex]x=2(y+1)[/tex]     (2)

To find the solution you equal the equation (1) with (2), and you solve for y:

[tex]2y+3=2y+1[/tex]

[tex]3=1[/tex]

You obtain an inconsistency, hence, the situation of the problem does not have solution

Complete Question:

The perimeter of triangle XYZ is 24 units. Triangle X Y Z is shown. The length of X Y is 3 and the length of Y Z is 11. Angle Y X Z is 102 degrees What is the area of triangle XYZ? Round to the nearest tenth of a square unit. Trigonometric area formula: Area 14.7 square units 14.9 square units 15.0 square units 15.3 square units

Answer:

14.7 square units

Step-by-step Explanation:

Given the triangle shown in the figure attached below, having the following measures:

<YXZ = 102°

Length of XY = z = 3

Length of YZ = x = 11

Length of XZ = y = ?

Perimeter of ∆XYZ = x+y+z = 24 units

Length XZ = y, would be 11+y+3 = 24

14+y = 24

y = 24 - 14

Therefore, y = 10

==>Required:

Area of ∆XYZ to the nearest tenth of a square unit

==>Solution:

Using the Trigonometric area formula, area of ∆XYZ = ½(yz)sin X

Plug in values for x, y, and sin X:

Area of ∆ XYZ = ½×10×3×sin 102

= ½×30×0.9782

= 15 × 0.9782

= 14.673

Area of triangle XYZ approximated to the nearest tenth = 14.7 square units
