Solve for x: |3x + 12| = 18 (5 points) A. x = 2, x = −10 B. x = 2, x = −2 C. x = 10, x = −10 D. x = −2, x = 10

Answers

Correct answer is letter A. x=2.
Hope dis helps ya

Answer:

The solution set is therefore {-10, 2}

Step-by-step explanation:

The absolute value equation |3x + 12| = 18 has two distinct solutions.

|3x + 12| = 18 may be rewritten as

3x + 12 = 18 and

-(3x + 12) = 18

The first equation immediately above becomes 3x = 6 after we subtract 12 from both sides.  Therefore, x = 6/3, or x = 2.

Simplifying the second equation yields -3x - 12 = 18.  To solve this for x, we add 12 to both sides, obtaining -3x = 30.

Dividing both sides by -3 yields x = -10.

The solution set is therefore {-10, 2}

Gina wants to solve the following proportion.

A. explain how to solve the problem.

B. solve the proportion. show your work.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

please don't understand the question. will be happy if you take a shot of it.

Thanks

a/5/8 = 3/5 / 2/3

We can take the reciprocal of the denominator, since the denominator itself is a fraction

The above equation can be rephrased as,
(a) / (5/8) = (3/5) / (2/3)

Taking reciprocal

8a / 5 = 3*3 / 5*2

8a / 5 = 9 / 5*2

a = 9 * 5 / 5*2*8

5’s get canceled, 2 and 8 gets multiplied in the denominator.

We will then be left with,

a = 9 / 16

Tyler and Jamie decide to share a box of 50 candy bars. To their pleasant surprise, there are 5 extra candy bars in the box. They agree that Tyler gets at least eight more candy bars than Jamie. What is the minimum number of candy bars that Tyler gets. Can I get a step by step explanation please? Thank you!

Answers

Answer:

Minimum candy Tyler gets = 32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Number of candy in box = 50

Extra candy = 5

Find:

Minimum candy Tyler gets

Computation:

Assume.

Number of candy Tyler gets = x

Number of candy Jamie gets = x - 8

Total number of candy in box = 50 + 5 = 55

So,

Number of candy Tyler gets + Number of candy Jamie gets = Total number of candy in box

x + x - 8 = 55

2x = 63

x = 31.5

So,

Minimum candy Tyler gets = 32

32 is the correct answer

HELPP (ESPECIALLY PART B) Answer the questions in this part of the task based on your understanding of the definition and the standard equation for the conic you chose. part a Inspect the equation for the type of conic section you chose. What attributes are necessary to graph it? Be sure to include specific points or equations to complete your answer. part b Explain how, if you have the attributes given below for the conic you chose, you can derive its equation in standard form.

Answers

The conic section chosen is a parabola, and the attributes for graphing of

a parabola as well as the standard form of the equation are as follows;

Part A: The attribute necessary to graph the equation of the parabola are three points, including, the vertex, the y-intercept and the image of the reflection of the y-intercept across the axis of symmetry.

Part B: The equation in standard form is x = -0.25·y² + y + 3

Reasons:

Part A:

The equation of the conic section of a parabola is; (x - 3)² = 12·(y - 2)

The vertex form of the equation of a parabola is; y = a·(x - h)² + k

Where (h, k) = The vertex

Rearranging the given equation gives;

(x - 3)² = 12·y - 24

12·y - 24 = (x - 3)²

12·y = (x - 3)² + 24

[tex]\displaystyle y = \frac{1}{12} \cdot \left(x - 3\right)^2 + \frac{24}{12} = \frac{1}{12} \cdot \left(x - 3\right)^2 + 2[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle y = \frac{1}{12} \cdot \left(x - 3\right)^2 + 2[/tex]

Therefore, the vertex of the parabola, (h, k) = (3, 2)

At the y-intercept, x = 0, which gives;

[tex]\displaystyle y = \frac{1}{12} \cdot \left(0 - 3\right)^2 + 2 = \frac{9}{12} + 2 = 2+\frac{3}{4}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle y = 2+\frac{3}{4} = 2.75[/tex]

The y-intercept = (0, 2.75)

The x-intercept is given at the point where y = 0, which gives;

(x - 3)² = 12·(0 - 2) = -24

x - 3 = √(-24) = An imaginary number

Therefore, the graph has no x-intercept

Given that a parabola is symmetrical about the vertex, we have a third

point on the parabola at the image of the y-intercept reflected across the

axis of symmetry as follows;

The y-intercept (0, 2.75) is 3 units to the left of the axis of symmetry, x = 3,

therefore, the third point will be 3 units to the right of the axis of symmetry

at the point (3 + 3, 2.75) = (6, 2.75)

Therefore, using the three points, (0, 2.75), (3, 2), and (6, 2.75), the curve

representing the parabola, (x - 3)² = 12·(y - 2), can be drawn.

Please find attached the graph of the parabola created with MS Excel

Part B; Given the attributes of the parabola; Vertex: (4, 2) and focus: (3, 2), we have;

The focus of a parabola is the point (h + p, k)

Where, (h, k) = The vertex

Therefore, by comparison, we have;

(h, k) = (4, 2)

h + p = 3

Therefore;

4 + p = 3

p = 3 - 4 = -1

The vertex form of the equation of the parabola is; (y - k)² = 4·p·(x - h)

Therefore, we get;

(y - 2)² = 4 × (-1) × (x - 4) = -4·(x - 4)

y² - 4·y + 4 = 16 - 4·x

4·x = 16 - (y² - 4·y + 4) = -y² + 4·y + 12

Which gives, the standard form as follows;

[tex]\displaystyle x = -\frac{y^2}{4} + y + 3 = -0.25 \cdot y^2 + y + 3[/tex]

Standard form of the the equation of the parabola; x = -0.25·y² + y + 3

3) What fractional part of the pie did Mama Bear eat?
4) What fractional part of the pie was left for Goldilocks?

Answers

Answer:

1/4 was eaten by mama and Baby also ate 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

goldilocks got 0/4

if papa ate half and baby and mama each ate 1/4 they equal up to 2/4 which is 1/2

papa ate 1/2 and 1/2+1/2=1

Mama bear ate (1/4)a part of pie and the (1/8) fractional part was left for Goldilocks.

What is the fraction?

The fraction is a rational number that simply divides two numbers and is written in the form a/b where a is called the numerator and b is called the denominator.

Let the full part of the pie is a.

Papa bear ate 1/2 part of the pie.

Then papa bear ate = (1/2)a

rest of the pie is= a- (1/2)a= (1/2)a

Mama bear ate (1/2) of the rest of the pie.

so mama bear ate = (1/2)(1/2)a= (1/4)a part of pie
rest of pie after mama bear ate = (1/2)a- (1/4)a= (1/4)a

Then baby bear ate (1/2) of the rest of the pie.

so baby bear ate = (1/2)(1/4)a= (1/8)a part of pie
rest of pie after baby bear ate = (1/4)a- (1/8)a= (1/8)

The rest of the part was left for GoldLiocks.

Therefore mama bear ate (1/4)a part of pie and the (1/8) fractional part was left for Goldilocks.

Complete question:

A spinner is divided into many sections of equal size. Some sections are red, some are blue, and the remaining are green. The probability of the arrow landing on a section colored red is 11 over 20. The probability of the arrow landing on a section colored blue is 6 over 20. What is the probability of the arrow landing on a green-colored section?

Answer: 3/20

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, the spinner is divided equally into sections painted with 3 different colors (RED, BLUE and GREEN)

Given that:

P(arrow landing on red) = 11 / 20

P(arrow landing on blue) = 6/20

The probability of arrow landing on green is therefore :

Sum of the probabilities of red and blue :

P(arrow landing on red) + P(arrow landing on blue)

= (11/20 + 6/20) = 17/20

Recall : The sum of probabilities of mutually exclusive events must sum up to 1. Therefore, since the events represented above are mutually exclusive, that is no two events can occur at the same time.

Then:

P(arrow landing on red) + P(arrow landing on blue) + P(arrow landing on green) = 1

Hence,

P(arrow landing on green) = 1 - [(P(arrow landing on red) + P(arrow landing on blue)]

P(arrow landing on green) = 1 - [11/20 + 6/20]

P(arrow landing on green) = 1 - 17/20

P(arrow landing on green) = 3/20

Thank you :)Since the publication of the first novel of Stephenie Meyer's Twilight saga in 2005, millions of readersall over the world, the majority of whom are teenage girls and women, have fallen for the love story ofBella and Edward. Furthered by the release of the movie adaptations of the first three volumes in2009 and 2010, critics have started to wonder about the foundation of Twilight-mania, especiallyconcerning the basic theme of the story, namely the vampire myth, which, throughout its literaryhistory, is rather a reflection of "adolescent male fantasy" (Twitchell, Living 6). Still, the indisputablykitsny story of an inconspicuous teenager who falls in love with the vampire next door fascinatestoday's emancipated and independent females and thus can be regarded as an essential part of thesuccess. It would seem that the attraction derives from Meyer's unique interweaving of differentgeneric elements, a strategy which can be found in other late 20th- and 21st-century popularliterature. Thus, for instance, the "Harry Potter books have been received with manic enthusiasm"because they, too, "uniquely combine several kinds of appeal" (O'Keefe 176), such as the mixture ofpublic school story and fantasy. In the Twilight Saga, we find a similar amalgamation of variousdifferent literary genres - fantasy fiction for young adults, vampire story, gothic romance, andArthurian legend. It is a medley, a generic crossing that is - not least due to its focus on an activeyoung heroine - bound to entice a primarily female readership.Through an analysis of the figure of the vampire in literature as well as in folklore it will be observedto what extent Edward differs from the folkloric blood-sucking revenant and also from the master of allliterary vampires, Dracula. Furthermore, it will be investigated how his knightly behaviour towardsBella contributes to the impression of a romantic transformation of the gothic form. Special attentionwill also be paid to the figure of Bella, who, on the one hand seems to be presented as the femmefragile or damsel in distress concerning her physicality, but, on the other hand, represents a figure ofidentification for female readers as the independent, strong-willed hero of young adult fiction. Theanalysis seeks to prove that the combination of these various aspects of different genres andtraditions allows Meyer to create a new kind of vampire love story.
