Solve 2 - ax = -8 for x. Assume a ≠ 0

Answers

Answer 1

The expression is simplified to x = 10/ a

What is subject of formula?

Subject of formula is defined as a variable which is expressed in terms of other variables involved in a given formula or expression.

Given the expression;

2 - ax = -8

Let's make 'x' the subject of formula

collect like terms

-ax = -8 - 2

Subtract like terms

-ax = - 10

Divide both sides by -a

-ax/ -a = - 10/-a

Find the ratio

x = 10/ a

Thus, the expression is simplified to x = 10/ a

In ΔIJK, i = 25 inches, j = 46 inches and k=24 inches. Find the measure of ∠J to the nearest degree.

Answers

Answer:

\(<J= cos^{-1} ((I^{2} + K^{2} - J^{2} )/(2IK))\\<J=cos^{-1} (\frac{(25^{2} + 24^{2} - 46^{2}}{(2(25)(24)})\\<J=139.685^{o}\)

the measure of ∠J in ΔIJK is approximately 104 degrees.

What are the properties of a Triangle?

The properties of the triangle are: The sum of all the angles of a triangle (of all types) is equal to 180°. The sum of the length of the two sides of a triangle is greater than the length of the third side. In the same way, the difference between the two sides of a triangle is less than the length of the third side.

To find the measure of ∠J in ΔIJK, we can use the Law of Cosines, which states that:

c² = a² + b² - 2ab cos(C)

where c is the side opposite the angle we want to find (in this case, side j), and a and b are the other two sides.

Substituting the given values, we get:

j² = i² + k² - 2ik cos(∠J)

Solving for cos(∠J), we get:

cos(∠J) = (i² + k² - j²) / 2ik

Substituting the given values, we get:

cos(∠J) = (25² + 24² - 46²) / (22524)

cos(∠J) = -0.2395833...

Using a calculator, we can take the inverse cosine of this value to find the measure of ∠J:

∠J ≈ 103.8 degrees

Rounding to the nearest degree, we get:

∠J ≈ 104 degrees

Therefore, the measure of ∠J in ΔIJK is approximately 104 degrees.

Answers

F = ma

a1 = 60/60 = 1ms^-2

a2 = 1.5ms^-2

The amount of force used to pull the cart from 60 N to 90 N, the new acceleration of the cart is, 1.5 m/s²

What is Force ?

The definition of force is the pushing or pulling of anything. Push and pull are the result of two things interacting with one another. Stretch and crush are two more phrases that can be used to describe force.

Formula of force,

Given that,

A man pulled a cart filled with stones that had a total mass of 60 kg

Ethan used compensation to find the sum of 27 + 38. What number is missing from his work?​

Answers

Answer:

See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

\(27 + 38\)

Required

What number is missing in the workings?

The steps is not given. So, I'll solve from scratch

Using compensation to add numbers, we add an imaginary number to one of the number being added.

The aim of this imaginary number is to round up the digit to a multiple of 10.

So:

\(27 + 38\) becomes

\(27 + (38 + 2)\)

In this case the added number is (2) ... Note that this (2) will be subtracted after the addition has been completed

\(27 + (38 + 2)\) =  \(27 + 40\)

\(27 + (38 + 2) = 67\)

Subtract the added (2)

\(67 - 2 = 65\)

Hence:

\(27 + 38 = 65\)

So, the missing number in Ethan's workings could have been 2

An engineer is monitoring the liquid level in two tanks as they are being filled. The volume of the tank A after x minutes is represented by the equation y=75x +110. For tank B the engineer has created a table, shown below, from measurements taken while the tank is being filled

Answers

The two tanks differ in terms of Filling rates and initial volumes.

We can work with the equation for tank A, which represents a linear relationship between the volume of liquid in the tank (y) and the time it has been filling (x).

The equation y = 75x + 110 tells us that the tank A is filling at a constant rate of 75 units per minute, starting with an initial volume of 110 units.

To analyze the data for tank B, we would need to know the volumes of the tank at different times as it is being filled.

If the relationship for tank B is also linear, we could find the equation that represents it by using two points from the table and the slope-intercept form of a linear equation (y = mx + b). Once we have both equations, we can compare them to see how the two tanks differ in terms of filling rates and initial volumes.

You mix 1/2 quart of blue paint for every 1/3 quart of red paint to make 5 quarts of purple paint.

Let 'x' be the amount of blue paint and 'y' be the amount of red paint. Then the equations are given as,

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

x / y = 3/2                        ...1

x + y = 5                          ...2

From equations 1 and 2, then we have

(3/2) y + y = 5

(5/2) y = 5

y = 2 quart

Then the value of 'x' is given as

g(x) = x + 2 [number of animals at another shelter

Part A: Find (f + g)(x)

(f + g)(x) = f(x) + g(x) = 4x + 9 + x + 2

Answers

Therefore , the solution of the given problem of expressions comes out to be  potential energy at 550 metres of altitude is roughly 2,798.46 Joules.

What does an expression actually mean?

Instead of producing estimates at random, it is preferable to use expanding, decreasing, & blocking moving numbers. They were only able to assist one another by exchanging resources, knowledge, or answers to problems. In addition to arithmetic operations like addition, negation, synthesis, and combination, a truth statement may also contain formulas, components, and notations. It is feasible to evaluate and analyse both sentences as words.

Here,

The gravitational potential energy of the bird at a height of 550m can be determined using the following formula, assuming you meant to say "0.52 kg bird" instead of "0.52k bird":

Mass times gravity times height equals gravitational potential energy.

where mass is measured in kilogrammes, gravity is the force of gravity, which accelerates objects near the Earth's surface at a rate of around 9.81 m/s2, and height is measured in metres.

Inputting the values provided yields:

The gravitational potential energy is equal to

=> 0.52 kg * 9.81 m/s2 *550 m,

=> 2,798.46 joules.

Hence, the bird's gravitational potential energy at 550 metres of altitude is roughly 2,798.46 Joules.
