Consider the following statement:

8 * 3 + 2 * 6 __ 60 ÷ 5 * 3
Which operator can be inserted to make the statement true?
(1 point)
>
=

11 answers

Let's first simplify both sides of the inequality.

On the left side, we calculate: 8 * 3 + 2 * 6 = 24 + 12 = 36

Now, for the right side: 60 ÷ 5 * 3 = 12 * 3 = 36

Now we can compare the two sides: Left side: 36 Right side: 36

Thus, we can conclude that the statement is: 36 __ 36

The appropriate operator to make the statement true is "=".

So, the answer is "=".

Which option contains the solution set for the value of k in the equation 7 + 2k^2 = 25?
{-9,9}
{-3,3}

Let's solve the equation \( 7 + 2k^2 = 25 \).

  1. Start by isolating the term with \( k^2 \): \[ 2k^2 = 25 - 7 \] \[ 2k^2 = 18 \]

  2. Next, divide both sides by 2: \[ k^2 = \frac{18}{2} \] \[ k^2 = 9 \]

  3. Now, take the square root of both sides: \[ k = \pm 3 \]

This gives us the solutions: \( k = 3 \) and \( k = -3 \).

Thus, the solution set is \({-3, 3}\).

The correct option is \({-3, 3}\).

Which option is the set that expresses the solution to the inequality k + 1 < -3?

{k : k < -4}
{k : k > -4}

To solve the inequality \( k + 1 < -3 \), we can isolate \( k \):

  1. Subtract 1 from both sides: \[ k < -3 - 1 \] \[ k < -4 \]

Thus, the solution set is:

\[ {k : k < -4} \]

Therefore, the correct option is \({k : k < -4}\).

The speed of a body is the distance it travels per unit of time and is represented by the formula d = sxt where d is distance, s is speed, and t is time.
Sharice's car is traveling 10 miles per hour slower than twice the speed of Maluma's car. Sharice covers 93 miles in 1 hour and 30 minutes.
How fast is Maluma driving?
(1 point)
36 miles per hour
29 miles per hour

To find out how fast Maluma is driving, let's first analyze the problem step by step.

  1. Convert time: Sharice covers 93 miles in 1 hour and 30 minutes. We can convert 1 hour and 30 minutes to hours: \[ 1 \text{ hour } + 30 \text{ minutes} = 1 + \frac{30}{60} = 1.5 \text{ hours} \]

  2. Calculate Sharice's speed: We can use the formula \( s = \frac{d}{t} \) to find Sharice's speed: \[ s_{\text{Sharice}} = \frac{d}{t} = \frac{93 \text{ miles}}{1.5 \text{ hours}} = 62 \text{ miles per hour} \]

  3. Express Sharice's speed in terms of Maluma's speed: According to the problem, Sharice's speed is 10 miles per hour slower than twice the speed of Maluma's car. Let \( s_{\text{Maluma}} \) be Maluma's speed. Then we have: \[ s_{\text{Sharice}} = 2s_{\text{Maluma}} - 10 \]

  4. Set up the equation: Substituting Sharice's speed into the equation: \[ 62 = 2s_{\text{Maluma}} - 10 \]

  5. Solve for Maluma's speed:

    • Add 10 to both sides: \[ 62 + 10 = 2s_{\text{Maluma}} \] \[ 72 = 2s_{\text{Maluma}} \]
    • Divide by 2: \[ s_{\text{Maluma}} = \frac{72}{2} = 36 \text{ miles per hour} \]

Thus, Maluma is driving at 36 miles per hour.

The correct answer is 36 miles per hour.

Solve the absolute value equation 4|7 - x| + 1 = -1
x = 7
no solution

To solve the absolute value equation \( 4|7 - x| + 1 = -1 \), we first isolate the absolute value term:

  1. Subtract 1 from both sides: \[ 4|7 - x| = -1 - 1 \] \[ 4|7 - x| = -2 \]

  2. Now, divide both sides by 4: \[ |7 - x| = -\frac{1}{2} \]

Since the absolute value of any expression is always non-negative (i.e., \(\geq 0\)), there are no values of \(x\) that can satisfy the equation \( |7 - x| = -\frac{1}{2} \).

Thus, the equation has no solution.

Which line is perpendicular to the line y = 3/5 * x + 6 and goes through the point (- 3, 6)?
y = 3/5 * x + 6
y = - 5/3 * x + 1

To find a line that is perpendicular to the line \( y = \frac{3}{5}x + 6 \) and passes through the point \((-3, 6)\), we need to determine the slope of the perpendicular line.

  1. Determine the slope of the given line: The given line has a slope of \( \frac{3}{5} \).

  2. Find the slope of the perpendicular line: The slope of a line that is perpendicular to another line is the negative reciprocal of the other line's slope. Therefore, if the slope of the given line is \( \frac{3}{5} \), the slope of the perpendicular line \( m \) is: \[ m = -\frac{1}{\left(\frac{3}{5}\right)} = -\frac{5}{3} \]

  3. Use the point-slope form of a line to find the equation of the perpendicular line: The point-slope form of a line is given by: \[ y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \] where \((x_1, y_1)\) is the point the line passes through, and \(m\) is the slope.

    Here, we use the point \((-3, 6)\), so \(x_1 = -3\) and \(y_1 = 6\): \[ y - 6 = -\frac{5}{3}(x + 3) \]

  4. Now, simplify the equation: \[ y - 6 = -\frac{5}{3}x - 5 \] \[ y = -\frac{5}{3}x + 1 \]

Thus, the equation of the line that is perpendicular to \( y = \frac{3}{5}x + 6 \) and passes through the point \((-3, 6)\) is: \[ y = -\frac{5}{3}x + 1 \]

So the correct option is \( y = -\frac{5}{3}x + 1 \).
