Let x = the length of the shorter piece of rope. x + (1/2)x = 24 (3/2)x = 24 (2/3)(3/2)x = (2/3)(24) x = 16 The lengths of rope are 16 feet and 8 feet. A student solves the problem to the left as shown. Which statements describe the solution? Check all of the boxes that apply.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the question

A rope is 24 feet long. It is cut into two pieces such that one piece is half the length of the other. Find the lengths of the two pieces of rope.

Options

The stated solution is correct (lengths of 16 feet and 8 feet).

Based on the way the variable is defined, the equation should be x + 2x = 24.

The equation is written correctly, but there is an error in solving the equation.

The way the variable is defined, and because x=16, the longer piece of rope would be 32 feet, which is not possible.

2

Let the length of one piece be x (shorter piece) and the other be y.

If the rope is cut into two pieces and 24ft long, then;

x+y = 24.......... 1

If one piece is half the length of the other, then x = y/2..... 2

substitute equation 2 into 1

y/2 + y = 24

take the LCM

y+2y/2 = 24

3y/2 = 24

cross multiply

3y = 48

Divide both sides by 3;

3y/3 = 48/3

y = 16 feet

Since x = y/2

x = 16/2

x = 8 feet

Based on the calculation above, I can conclude that;

- The student stated solution is correct (lengths of 16 feet and 8 feet)

- The way the variable is defined, and because x=16, the longer piece of rope would be 32 feet, which is not possible.

- Based on the way the variable is defined, the equation should be x + 2x = 24.

Write the standard form of the line that passes through the given points (1, 1) and (3, 4)

Answers

see what should to do buddy :

step 1-

first we have to find the gradient of the line like this:

a ( 1 , 1 )

b ( 3 , 4 )

.

step 2-

now just need one of the a or b point to put in this equation :

.

step 3-

to find the standard form of the line we have to take the y alone.

so we add the sides of the equation plus 1.

[tex]y = \frac{3}{2}x - \frac{3}{2} + 1 \\ \\ \\ y = \frac{3}{2}x - \frac{1}{2} [/tex]

And we're done.

Standard form of the line passing through points (1, 1) and (3, 4) is

y = (3 / 2)x  - (1 / 2).

What is line?

"Line is a one dimensional figure which has only one dimension that is length no other dimension present in it."

Formula used

( x₁ , y₁) and (x₂ , y₂) are the two points through which line passes

[tex]\frac{x-x_{1} }{x_{2} -x_{1} } =\frac{y-y_{1} }{y_{2} -y_{1} }[/tex]

According to the question,

Given ,Line passes through points( 1, 1 )and (3,4)

Substitute the value in the formula to get standard form of line we get,

  [tex]\frac{x-1 }{3 -1} =\frac{y-1 }{4 -1 }[/tex]

⇒3(x -1) = 2(y -1 )

⇒3x -3 = 2y -2

y = (3/2)x - (1/2)

Hence, standard form of the line passing through points (1, 1) and (3, 4) is

y = (3 / 2)x  - (1 / 2).

Ms. Simpson and her friends are planning to take a trip next summer to drive to Big Bend National Park. They plan to split the cost of gas equally among the 4 of them. Ms. Simpson expects that each person will pay at most $35.



Let x represent how much Kira expects the gas to cost in all. Which inequality describes the problem?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\dfrac{x}{4} \le 35[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

There are 4 people splitting the gas cost equally.

Each person will pay at most $35, so the gas cost to each person can be less than $35 or equal to $35.

The total gas cost is x. The gas cost for each person is 1/4 of the total, so it is x/4.

Equation at the end of step 1

(3x2 - 38x) + 24 = 0

STEP2:Trying to factor by splitting the middle term

 2.1     Factoring  3x2-38x+24 

The first term is,  3x2  its coefficient is  3 .

The middle term is,  -38x  its coefficient is  -38 .

The last term, "the constant", is  +24 

Step-1 : Multiply the coefficient of the first term by the constant   3 • 24 = 72 

Step-2 : Find two factors of  72  whose sum equals the coefficient of the middle term, which is   -38 .

     -72   +   -1   =   -73     -36   +   -2   =   -38   That's it

Step-3 : Rewrite the polynomial splitting the middle term using the two factors found in step 2 above,  -36  and  -2 

                     3x2 - 36x - 2x - 24

Step-4 : Add up the first 2 terms, pulling out like factors :

                    3x • (x-12)

              Add up the last 2 terms, pulling out common factors :

                    2 • (x-12)

Step-5 : Add up the four terms of step 4 :

                    (3x-2)  •  (x-12)

             Which is the desired factorization

Equation at the end of step2:

(x - 12) • (3x - 2) = 0

STEP3:Theory - Roots of a product

 3.1    A product of several terms equals zero. 

 When a product of two or more terms equals zero, then at least one of the terms must be zero. 

 We shall now solve each term = 0 separately 

 In other words, we are going to solve as many equations as there are terms in the product 

 Any solution of term = 0 solves product = 0 as well.

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

 3.2      Solve  :    x-12 = 0 

 Add  12  to both sides of the equation : 

                      x = 12

Solving a Single Variable Equation:

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]if \: (x + 12) = (3x + 2) \\ 12 - 2 = 3x - x \\ 2x = 10 \\ x = 5 \\ \\ \\ if(x + 12)(3x + 2) = 0 \\ x + 12 = 0 \: \: \: or \: \: \: 3x + 2 = 0 \\ x = - 12 \: \: \: or \: \: \: x = - \frac{2}{3} [/tex]
