What is the difference between a coefficient and variable (such as 3x) and a constant (5)?  Why can these two types of terms not be combined?
 

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

see below (I hope this makes sense!)

Step-by-step explanation:

Constants, as the name suggest, stay constant, meaning that their value never changes. For example, 2 will always be 2 and 9.4 will always be 9.4. On the other hand, the values of variables can change. Take, for example, the variable 2x. When x = 1, 2x = 2 and when x  =2, 2x = 4 so the value of 2x can change depending on what x is. You can't combine constants and variables because they are not like terms, basically, one can change and the other can't and you cannot combine terms that are not like each other.

The tens digit of a two-digit number is three times greater than the ones digit. The difference between twice the original number and half the number obtained after reversing the digits is 108. What is the original number? Show your work.

Answers

Answer:

Now solve these two equations.ull get andwer

The original number will be "63".

Let,

The ten's digit be "x".One's digit be "y".

The equation will be:

→ [tex]x=y+3[/tex]...(equation 1)

Original number will be:

→ [tex]10x+y[/tex]

then,

→ [tex]2 (10x+y)-\frac{(10y+x)}{2} = 108[/tex]

→ [tex]\frac{4(10x+y)}{1} -(10y+x) = 216[/tex]

→ [tex]40x+4y-10y-x = 216[/tex]

→ [tex]39x-6y=216[/tex]...(equation 2)

By using (equation 1) and (equation 2), we get

→ [tex]39(y+3)-6y=216[/tex]

→ [tex]39y+117-6y=216[/tex]

→                   [tex]33y=99[/tex]

→                       [tex]y = \frac{99}{33}[/tex]

→                          [tex]= 3[/tex]

Now,

[tex]x = y+3[/tex]

  [tex]=3+3[/tex]

  [tex]=6[/tex]

 

hence,

The original number will be:

= [tex]10x+y[/tex]

= [tex]10\times 6+3[/tex]

= [tex]60+3[/tex]

= [tex]63[/tex]

Thus the above approach is right.

Answer:

The inverse is 1/2x +2

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x-4

y= 2x-4

To find the inverse

Exchange x and y

x = 2y-4

Solve for y

Add 4 to each side

x+4 = 2y

Divide by 2

x/2 + 4/2 = 2y/2

1/2x +2 = y

The inverse is 1/2x +2



While sailing, Jacob is 150 feet from a lighthouse. The angle of elevation from his feet on the boat (at sea level) to the top of the lighthouse is 48°

What can you conclude about the height of the lighthouse, with respect to Jacob's distance from the lighthouse? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

The height of the lighthouse is approximately 166.6 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the lighthouse be represented by s, then;

Tan 48° = (opposite) ÷ (adjacent)

Tan 48° = s ÷ 150

⇒ s = 150 × Tan 48°

      = 150 × 1.1106

     = 166.59

s ≅ 166.6 feet

Therefore, the height of the lighthouse is approximately 166.6 feet.

Answer:

The height of the lighthouse is approximately 42.

Step-by-step explanation:

This situation forms a right triangle so the angles would be 90 and 48

90+48+x=180

138+x=180

x=180-138

x=42

The graph of function f is shown. Function g is represented by the equation. Look at the graph and picture!

Answers

Answer: B) different y intercepts; same end behavior

=======================================================

Explanation:

The graph shows the y intercept is 4 as this is where the green curve crosses the vertical y axis.

The y intercept of g(x) is 6 which can be found by plugging x = 0 into the g(x) function

g(x) = 4(1/4)^x + 2

g(0) = 4(1/4)^0 + 2

g(0) = 6

So we can see the y intercepts are different.

----------

However, the end behaviors are the same for each function. The left side of f(x) goes up forever to positive infinity. The same is true for g(x). You could use a graphing calculator or a table to see this. As x heads to negative infinity, y goes to positive infinity.

In terms of symbols, [tex]x \to -\infty, y \to \infty[/tex]

----------

For the right side of f(x), it slowly approaches the horizontal asymptote y = 2. It never actually reaches this y value. The same happens with g(x). The portion 4(1/4)^x gets smaller but never gets to 0 so overall 4(1/4)^x+2 gets closer to 2. We can say that as x approaches infinity, y approaches 2.

In terms of symbols, [tex]x \to \infty, y \to 2[/tex]

What is the area of the trapezoid shown below?

Answers

Answer:

180 units

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to solve this, we need to find the length of the missing side of the triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.

a²+b²=c²

a= 7

b=x

c= 25

7²+x²=25²

49+x²=625

Subtract 49 from both sides

x²=576

x=24

The length of the missing side of the triangle is 24, which is also the base of the triangle. We need to find the area of the triangle so we use the formula for the area of a triangle, A=1/2bh.

A= 1/2 (24 x 7)

A=84

Now, we need to find the area of the rectangle.

Formula for area of rectangle: A= bh

A= bh

A= 4 x 24

A= 96

Next, we add the areas of both shapes to get the area of the entire figure.

96+84=180

Area of figure= 180

Answer:

area = 180

Step-by-step explanation:

will make it simple and short

area of a trapezoid = (a + b) h/2

h = sqrt(25² - 7²) = 24

Area = (4 + 11) * 24/2

area = 180

What is the value of x in the equation 3x-4y=65, when y =4 will give brainliest

Answers

Hello!

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{x = 27}[/tex]

Given:

3x - 4y = 65 where y = 4;

Substitute in 4 for "y":

3x - 4(4) = 65

Simplify:

3x - 16 = 65

Add 16 to both sides:

3x - 16 + 16 = 65 + 16

3x = 81

Divide both sides by 3:

3x/3 = 81/3

x = 27.

Hope this helped you! :)

Answer:

x=27

Step-by-step explanation:

3x-4y=65

Let y=4

3x - 4(4) = 54

3x -16 = 65

Add 16 to each side

3x -16+16 = 65+16

3x = 81

Divide each side by 3

3x/3 =81/3

x =27

if an ordered pair is a solution, it should satisfy the equation.

see the first option

[tex]y=3x[/tex] , if you put $x=4$ and $y=12$

you'll get $12=12$ which is true.

now the last option, $y=8-x$ put $x=4$ and $y=12$

$12=8-4\implies 12\ne4$ thus it is not a solution.

So option 4 is correct

Answer:

Last one:

y = 8 - x

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 8 - x

Replace x and y in this function

12 = 8 - 4

12 = 4 (impossible)

For Deck board=4 1/4 feet

Step=3 2/3 feet

Shelf=x feet

Total plank=deck board + step + shelf

10 1/2 = 4 1/4 + 3 2/3 + x

21/2 = 17/4 + 11/3 + x

Add 17/4 + 11/3

21/2 =51+44/12 + x

Flying against the wind, a jet travels 1650 miles in 3 hours. Flying with the wind, the same jet travels 3480 miles in 4 hours. What is the rate of the jet in still air and what is the rate of the wind?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the rate of the plane be x

The rate of the wind be y

Against the wind

Resultant velocity = x-y

1650/3 = x - y

550 = x - y

With the wind

Resultant velocity = x + y

3480/4 = x + y

870 = x + y

Solve equation simultaneously

Add both equations

870+550 = x+y+x-y

1420 = 2x

x = 710

x + y = 870

y=870 - 710

y = 160

The rate of jet in still air = 710 mph

The rate of wind = 160 mph

What is arithmetic?

In mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements.

Let the present age of Tom and Jean is x and y.

Three years from now Tom will be twice as old as Jean.
x + 3 = 2 ( y + 3 )
x = 2y + 6 - 3
x = 2y + 3  - - - - - - - - -(1)

two years ago the sum of their ages was 26.
x - 2 + y - 2 = 26
x + y = 26 + 4
x + y = 30 - - - - - - -(2)

From equation 1 put x in equation 2.
2y + 3 + y = 30
3y = 30 - 3
3y = 27
y = 9

Put y in equation 2
x + 9 = 30
x = 30 - 9
x = 21

Thus the required present age of Tom and Jean is 21 years and 9 years.
