Answer:

B. (5x - 4)(3x + 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Factor the following:

[tex] \longrightarrow [/tex] 15x² - 2x - 8

The coefficient of x² is 15 and the constant term is -8. The product of 15 and -8 is -120. The factors of -120 which sum to -2 are 10 and -12.

So,

[tex] \longrightarrow [/tex] 15x² + (10 - 12)x - 8

[tex] \longrightarrow [/tex] 15x² + 10x - 12x - 8

[tex] \longrightarrow [/tex] 5x(3x + 2) - 4(3x + 2)

[tex] \longrightarrow [/tex] (5x - 4)(3x + 2)

A landlord owns 3 condominiums, a 1-bedroom condo, a 2-bedroom condo, and a 3-

bedroom condo. The total rent she receives is $1240. She needs to make repairs on the

condos, and it costs 10% of the 1-bedroom condo's rent for its repairs, 20% of the 2-

bedroom for its repairs, and 30% of the 3-bedroom condo's rent for its repairs. The total

repair bill was $276. The 3-bedroom condo's rent is twice the 1-bedroom condo's rent.

How much is the rent for all three condos?

Answers

Answer:

I bedroom condo = $280

2 bedroom condo = $400

3 bedroom condo = $560

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Total rental cost for all 3 condos = $1240

Let :

I bedroom condo = b

2 bedroom condo = c

3 bedroom condo = 2b

Hence,

b + c + 2b = 1240

3b + c = 1240 - - - (1)

REPAIR COST :

Total repair cost = $276

1 bedroom = 10% of b = 0.1b

2 bedroom = 20% of c = 0.2c

3 bedroom = 30% of 2b = 0.3 * 2b = 0.6b

Hence,

0.1b + 0.2c + 0.6b = 276

0.7b + 0.2c = 276 - - - (2)

From (2)

0.7b + 0.2c = 276

0.7b = 276 - 0.2c

b = (276 - 0.2c) / 0.7

Substitute b = (276 - 0.2c) / 0.7 into (1)

3(276/0.7 - 0.2c/0.7) + c = 1240

1182.8571 - 0.8571428c + c = 1240

1182.8571 + 0.1428571c = 1240

0.1428571c = 1240 - 1182.8571

0.1428571c = 57.1429

c = 57.1429 / 0.1428571

c = 400

3b + c = 1240

3b + 400 = 1240

3b = 1240 - 400

3b = 840

b = 840/3

b = 280

Hence,

I bedroom condo = $280

2 bedroom condo = $400

3 bedroom condo = 2(280) = $560

Randy, Sandy and Todd are my cousins and their combined age is 87 years. Randy is four times as old as Sandy, but Todd is actually 15 years older than Sandy. How old are each of my cousins

Answers

Answer:

Randy is 48 years old

Sandy is 12 years old

Todd is 27 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Represent their ages with the first letters of their names:

[tex]R + S + T = 87[/tex]

[tex]R = 4 * S[/tex]

[tex]T = 15 + S[/tex]

Required

Determine their individual ages

We'll solve the above equations using substitution method of simultaneous equations

Substitute 15 + S for T and 4 * S for R in [tex]R + S + T = 87[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]4 * S + S + 15 + S = 87[/tex]

[tex]4 S + S + 15 + S = 87[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]4 S + S + S = 87 - 15[/tex]

[tex]6S = 72[/tex]

Divide through by 6

[tex]S = 72/6[/tex]

[tex]S = 12[/tex]

This implies that Sandy is 12 years old

Substitute 12 for S in [tex]R = 4 * S[/tex] and  [tex]T = 15 + S[/tex]

[tex]R = 4 * 12[/tex]

[tex]R = 48[/tex]

[tex]T = 15 + 12[/tex]

[tex]T = 27[/tex]

This implies that Randy is 48 years old and Todd is 27

The average cost per unit c(x) to produce x units of lumber is given byc * (x) = 400/(x + 25) if the cost per unit is \$1.00 how many units have been produced if necessary round your answer to the nearest whole unit. the answer is 375

Answers

Answer:

The number of units of lumber that have been produced is 375

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question,

The average cost per unit c(x) to produce x units of lumber is given by

c(x) = 400/(x + 25).

Now, to determine how many units have been produced (that is, x) if the cost per unit is $1.00 (that is, c(x) = $1.00), we will put in the value into the given equation to determine x.

c(x) = 400/(x + 25)

c(x) = $1.00

∴ 1.00 = 400/(x + 25)

Then,

(x + 25) × 1.00 = 400

x + 25 = 400

x = 400 - 25

x = 375

Hence, the number of units of lumber that have been produced is 375.

The centroid cuts each median into two segments. The shorter segment is _ _ _ _ the length of the entire segment.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

One third

The centroid of a triangle divides each median.

The shorter segment is 1/3 and the length of the entire segment is 1

The centroid of a triangle divides the median in the following ratio

[tex]\mathbf{Ratio = 2 : 1}[/tex]

The fraction of the shorter segment is:

[tex]\mathbf{Short = \frac{1}{1 + 2}}[/tex]

Answers

Answer: B. y = 5x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the scenario in the question, you didn't really say what you'll like to calculate but I guess you want to know the equation that can be used to represent the above information.

Let x = the number of children babysit

The amount charged by Sandy can then be written as:

y = 10 + 5(x)

y = 10 + 5x

y = 5x + 10

Therefore, the correct option is B.

The 5th term of Sequence is 255.

What is Sequence?

A sequence is an enumerated group of items in mathematics where repetitions are permitted and order is important. Similar to a set, it has members (also called elements, or terms). The length of the series is the number of elements (potentially infinite).

Given:

10n² +5

Now for 5th term put n= 5 we get

10n² +5

= 10(5)² +5

= 10 x 25 + 5

= 250+ 5

= 255

geometry question. please help ​

Answers

Answer:

The length of PQ is 18 feet.

The length of PR is 18 feet.

The length of QR is 24 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A way to set an equation up for this problem is:

[tex]\frac{4}{3}x+x+x=60[/tex]

where x is the three lengths of the isosceles triangle, but the base QR is 4/3 the length of the other two congruent sides, length PQ and PR. The 60 represents the total length of the perimeter.

Then, solve for x from the equation, and you’ll get x=18. But your not done yet. Since the variable x in the equation stands for the sides of the isosceles triangle, so plug 18 into the equation and it should look like this:

[tex]\frac{4}{3}(18)+18+18=60[/tex]

Don’t solve the whole equation, just solve the [tex]\frac{4}{3}(18)[/tex] part of the equation, which is equal to 24. So the final equation is this:

[tex]24+18+18=60[/tex]

Conclusion: 24 is the length of QR, and 18 is the length of PQ and PR. And they all equal 60, which is the perimeter. This is very true because the length of PQ and PR are the same (length 18), since it’s an isosceles triangle, and the length of QR is 4/3 the length of PQ and PR (4/3 of 18= 24).

Sorry for the long explanation.

Answer:

The measure of the vertex angle is 100°

Step-by-step explanation:

In Δ MNO

∵ Δ MNO is an isosceles triangle with base MO

NM = NO

→ In an isosceles triangle, the base angles are equal in measures

∵ ∠M and ∠O are the base angles isosceles ΔMNO

m∠M = m∠O

∵ m∠M = (3x + 10)°

∵ m∠O = (5x - 10)°

→ Equate their measures

5x - 10 = 3x + 10

→ Add 10 to both sides

∵ 5x - 10 + 10 = 3x + 10 + 10

∴ 5x = 3x + 20

→ Subtract 3x from both sides

∴ 5x - 3x = 3x - 3x + 20

∴ 2x = 20

→ Divide both sides by 2 to find x

∵ [tex]\frac{2x}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{20}{2}[/tex]

x = 10

→ Substitute the value of x in the measures of ∠M and ∠O to find them

∵ m∠M = 3(10) + 10 = 30 + 10

m∠M = 40°

∵ m∠O = 5(10) - 10 = 50 - 10

m∠O = 40°

→ The sum of the measures of the interior angles of a Δ is 180°

m∠M + m∠O + m∠N = 180°

∵ 40 + 40 + m∠N = 180

→ Add the like terms

∴ 80 + m∠N = 180

→ Subtract 80 from both sides

∴ 80 - 80 + m∠N = 180 - 80

m∠N = 100°

∵ ∠N is the vertex angle of Δ MNO

The measure of the vertex angle is 100°

Determine if the ordered pair (-5, -1) is a
solution of 2x - y =-11.

Answers

No, when you plug is -5 for x and -1 for why, it ends up being -9 not -11. (-5,-1) is not a solution.

Answer:(-5,-1) is not an ordered pair

Step-by-step explanation:

the ordered pair (-5,-1) is directly related to the variables (x,y) making -5=x and -1=y

so to figure out if the ordered pair is a solution you just plug in the number into their respective variable.

so the equation then becomes 2 (-5) - (-1) = -11

once you solve for the left part of the equation you are then left with -9 = -11 which we know is false.
