Solve the equation: -8(2a-1)=36

Answers

Answer 1

-8.(2a - 1) = 36

-16a + 8 = 36

-16a = 36 - 8 = 28

a = 28/(-16) = -7/4

The correct answer is -7/4 = -1.75

Answer 2

The solution to the given equation is [tex]\frac{-7}{4}[/tex].

What is an expression?

Expression is a finite combination of symbols that is well-formed according to rules that depend on the context. An expression is a combination of numbers, variables, or a combination of numbers and variables, and symbols and it is connected by the sign of equal.

We have,

Expression -8(2a - 1) = 36

So,

Now,

To get the solution to this expression,

i.e.

-8(2a - 1) = 36

Rewrite it as,

i.e.

Opening Brackets,

We get,

-16a + 8 = 36

Now,

Taking variable terms on one side and other terms on another side,

We get,

-16a = 36 - 8

On solving we get,

-16a = 28

i.e.

a = [tex]\frac{-28}{16} = \frac{-7}{4}[/tex]

So,

The solution to the given equation is [tex]\frac{-7}{4}[/tex].

Hence, we can say that the solution to the given equation is [tex]\frac{-7}{4}[/tex].

The government estimates 840,000 for equipment, 15,000 for software, and 40,000 per month for wages when the project will take 16 months.

Answers

Answer:

the total cost is $1,495,000

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the total cost is shown below:

Let us assume the months be m

Now the equation would be

= Equipment + software + wages

= $840,000 + $15,000 + 40,000m

= $840,000 + $15,000 + $40,000 (16)

= $840,000 + $15,000 + $640,000

= $1,495,000

Hence, the total cost is $1,495,000

Proportional
Additive

Answers

Answer:

The answer is proportional

Step-by-step explanation:

I took the test and got 5/5

The given relationship is a proportional relation.

What is proportionality?

In mathematics, proportionality indicates that two quantities or variables are related linearly. If one quantity doubles in size, so does the other; if one of the variables diminishes to 1/10 of its former value, so does the other.

Given that, Steven went to play video games in Games Galore arcade. Games Galore charges $1.50 for each game played

Establishing the equation, we get,

y = 1.50x

Where 1.50 is the slope of the line, and, y is total cost and x is the number of game played.

When x = 2,

y = 1.50X2

y = 3

(2, 3)

When x = 4

y = 1.5X4

y = 6

(4, 6)

When x = 6

y = 1.5X6

y = 9

(6, 9)

Here we see that the value of y is varying from the value of x by 1.5 times.

Hence, The relation is a proportional relation.

Read the instructions carefully!!!!

Answers

I will do the first example, by explaining how to graph it. Then you can do the second example.

[tex]f(x) = x^3-10x^2+28x-24[/tex]

We start by determining the the x-intercepts, by letting y = 0:

[tex]x^3-10x^2+28x-24=0,\\\left(x-2\right)^2\left(x-6\right)=0,\\x=2,\:x=6[/tex]

The x-intercepts of the graph are (2, 0) and (6, 0) respectively. Now we determine the y-intercepts by letting x = 0:

[tex]f\left(x\right)=\left(0\right)^3-10\left(0\right)^2+28\left(0\right)-24 = - 24[/tex]

So the y-intercept is (0, -24). But remember we need one more point, as there has to be a transition between the x-intercepts. This is the minimum of the graph. To determine this, we take the derivative of the function, and then equate it to 0 to find the "critical points." :

[tex]\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^3-10x^2+28x-24\right)\\\\ =>\frac{d}{dx}\left(x^3\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(10x^2\right)+\frac{d}{dx}\left(28x\right)-\frac{d}{dx}\left(24\right)\\\\=> 3x^2-20x+28-0\\=> 3x^2-20x+28[/tex]

Now we equate this to 0, and apply the quadratic equation. In this case we can actually factor it :

[tex]3x^2-20x+28=0,\\\left(x-2\right)\left(3x-14\right)=0,\\\\x=2,\:x=\frac{14}{3}[/tex]

x = 2 is our maximum, or our x-intercept (2, 0). Therefore we have to take 14/3 as our minimum, and determine the y-value:

[tex]f\left(x\right)=\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)^3-10\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)^2+28\left(\frac{14}{3}\right)-24\\\\= -\frac{256}{27}[/tex]

Minimum: (14/3, -256/27)
