For the equation 4(2x-3)-(mx+5)=5x+b to be an identity, which of the following must be true about the constants m and b? Show your work

(1) m = 3 and b = -7
(2) m = 8 and b = 17
(3) m = -3 and b = -15
(4) m = 3 and b = 17

Answers

Answer 1

Given:

The equation is

[tex]4(2x-3)-(mx+5)=5x+b[/tex]

To find:

The values of m and b.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]4(2x-3)-(mx+5)=5x+b[/tex]

Using distributive property, we get

[tex]8x-12-mx-5=5x+b[/tex]

On combining like terms, we get

[tex](8-m)x+(-12-5)=5x+b[/tex]

[tex](8-m)x-17=5x+b[/tex]

On comparing both sides, we get

[tex](8-m)=5[/tex]

[tex]-m=5-8[/tex]

[tex]-m=-3[/tex]

[tex]m=3[/tex]

And,

[tex]b=-17[/tex]

Therefore, m = 3 and b = 17.

Note: All options are incorrect.

What is Unitary Method?

It is a method where we find the value of a single unit from the value of multiple units and the value of multiple units from the value of a single unit.

First, let us make a note of the information we have. There are 5 ice-creams. 5 ice-creams cost $125.

Step 1: Let’s find the cost of 1 ice cream. In order to do that, divide the total cost of ice-creams by the total number of ice-creams. The cost of 1 ice-cream = Total cost of ice-creams/Total number of ice-creams = 125/5 = 25. Therefore, the cost of 1 ice cream is $25.

Step 2: To find the cost of 3 ice-creams, multiply the cost of 1 ice cream by the number of ice-creams. The cost of 3 ice-creams is cost of 1 ice-cream × number of ice-creams = 25 × 3 = $75. Finally, we have the cost of 3 ice-creams i.e. $75.

Given:

For cotton:

5.54 ÷ 3/4

=7.39<8

For flannel:

2.62 ÷ 3/4

=3.49<8

For fleece:

4.27 ÷ 3/4

=5.69 < 8

For terry cloth:

=6.52 ÷ 3/4

= 8.69>8

So, cost less than $8 per yard cotton, flannel and fleece.

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving a triangle means finding all unknown sides and angles.

For example, in #9, the third angle is 180° − 81° − 59° = 40°.

Using law of sines, the other two sides are:

a / sin 59° = 15 / sin 40°

Given the coordinate (x,y), if this coordinate is dilated by a factor of 2, the resulting coordinate will be (2x, 2y).

Kevin rented a truck for one day. there was a base fee of $17.99, and there was an additional charge of 95 cents for each mile driven. Kevin had to pay $157.64 when he returned the truck. for how manny miles did he drive the truck?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Base fee = $17.99

Additional charge = $0.95 for each mile driven

If Kevin paid $157.64 when he returned the truck and we want to find out how many miles he drove the truck, step 1 would be to subtract the base fee.

157.65 - 17.99 = 139.65

This means that the remaining $139.65 is how much he paid for the miles he drove.

Since we know each mile costs $0.95.

Simply divide $139.65 by $0.95 to work out how many miles he drove.

Miles driven = 139.65 / 0.95 = ?

x = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a body is the sum of all its sides.

  Perimeter of the triangle;

       hypothenuse + opposite + adjacent  = x+6 + x + 3 + x + 9 = 3x + 18

  Perimeter of the rectangle  = x+1 + x + 4 + x + 1 + x + 4 = 4x + 10

Now,

 Since their perimeter is equal;

                           3x + 18 = 4x + 10

                             3x - 4x  = 10 - 18

                               -x  = -8

                               x = 8

A local sporting goods store is planning to hire up to 24 temporary employees for its annual Black Friday Sale. Experienced workers (x) will be paid $20 per hour and produce 1.5 times the profit that an inexperienced worker produces. Inexperienced workers (y) get hired at $15 per hour. The store can pay up to $400 per hour for the temporary employees. How many of each type of worker can be hired to maximize profit?

Answers

Answer:

8 experienced workers and 16 inexperienced workers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of experienced workers, y represent the number of inexperienced workers.

The store can hire up to 24 temporary employees, hence:

x + y ≤ 24

The store can pay up to $400 per hour, hence:

20x + 15y ≤ 400

Also, x, y > 0

The solution to the above problem is at (8, 16). Hence x = 8 and y = 16.

The profit of an experienced worker is 1.5 times the profit that an inexperienced worker. hence:

Profit = 1.5x + y

Profit = 1.5(8) + 16

Profit = 12 + 16 = 28
