−13 = 5(1 + 4m) − 2m multi step equation show all steps pls
Answer:
m = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
Order of Operations: BPEMDAS
Step 1: Write out equation
-13 = 5(1 + 4m) - 2m
Step 2: Parenthesis (distribute)
-13 = 5 + 20m - 2m
Step 3: Combine like terms (m)
-13 = 5 + 18m
Step 4: Subtract 5 on both sides
-18 = 18m
Step 5: Divide both sides by 18
-1 = m
Step 6: Rewrite
m = -1
Answer:
m = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
-13 = 5(1 + 4m) - 2m
Step 1 : Distributive Property
-13 = 5 + 20m - 2m
Add like terms
-13 = 5 + 18m
Subtract 5 on both sides
-18 = 18m
Divide
[tex]\frac{-18}{18}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{18m}{18}[/tex]
m = -1

I WILL MARK BRAINIEST ZWYX and ZZYX are supplementary angles. mZWYX 8x + 12 and mZZYX = 2x + 28. What is mZWYX? mZWYX
Answer:
124 degrees
Step-by-step explanation:
Look at the equation from the information they gave you. Supplementary angles always add up to 180 degrees, so make up the equation of 8x + 12 + 2x + 28 = 180. Simplify to get 10x + 40 = 180. Subtract 40 from both sides to get 10x = 140. Divide both sides by 10, and you will get x=14. Substitute the value of 10 into the variable x in the angle ZWYK to get 8(14) + 12. This will simplify into 112 + 12, which will eventually get you 124 degrees.
Answer:
mZWYX = 124°Step-by-step explanation:
Since angles ZWYX and ZZYX are supplementary it means that the sum of their angles sum up to 180°
To find mZWYX we must first find x
To find x add ZWYX and ZZYX and equate them to 180 to find x
That's
ZWYX + ZZYX = 180
8x + 12 + 2x + 28 = 180
10x + 40 = 180
10x = 180 - 40
10x = 140
Divide both sides by 10
x = 14°
From the question
mZWYX = 8x + 12
Substitute the value of x into the expression
We have
mZWYX = 8(14) + 12
= 112 + 12
We have the final answer as
mZWYX = 124°Hope this helps you

Given the polynomial 21x^4+3y-6x^2+34 1. What polynomial must be subtracted from it to obtain 29x^2-7? 2. What polynomial must be added to it to obtain a first degree polynomial?
Answer:
[tex]21x^4+3y-35x^2+41[/tex] must be subtracted
As you can see, we added -x+2 to this polynomial to obtain a first degree polynomial. (Though really anything with an x would do. For example, 3x, 2221x, or -224x would all work)
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the following polynomial
[tex]21x^4+3y-6x^2+34[/tex]
And need to find a polynomial to subtract from it to get
[tex]29x^2-7[/tex]
This means that if we subtract these two polynomials, we will get our desired polynomial
[tex]21x^4+3y-6x^2+34-(29x^2-7)\\\\21x^4+3y-6x^2+34-29x^2+7\\\\21x^4+3y-35x^2+41[/tex]
Just to be sure, we can then check our work by finding the difference of the first polynomial and the one that we just found
[tex]21x^4+3y-6x^2+34-(21x^4+3y-35x^2+41)\\\\21x^4+3y-6x^2+34-21x^4-3y+35x^2-41\\\\-6x^2+34+35x^2-41\\\\29x^2-7[/tex]
As we got the desired result, we know that this answer is correct.
And now for the second part of the problem. What polynomial must be added to it to obtain a first degree polynomial?
Recall that a first degree polynomial is one that has the total sum of 1. For example the polynomial x+5 is a first degree polynomial, but x+y+5 has a degree of 2.
This means that our desired polynomial needs to only have some amount of x's and constants.
We can do the same thing as the first time and simply subtract our desired result from the first polynomial. For simplicity, let us use the simple polynomial x+2
[tex]21x^4+3y-6x^2+34-(x-2)\\\\21x^4+3y-6x^2+34-x+2\\\\21x^4+3y-6x^2-x+36[/tex]
As you can see, we added -x+2 to this polynomial to obtain a first degree polynomial. (Though really anything with an x would do. For example, 3x, 2221x, or -224x would all work)

Tim has a bag of 36 orange-flavored sweets and Peter has a bag of 44 grape-flavored sweets. They have to divide up the sweets into small trays with equal number of sweets; each tray containing either orange-flavored or grape-flavored sweets only. If there is no remainder, find the largest possible number of sweets in each tray.
Answer:
Largest possible number of sweets in each tray[tex]=4[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Number of orange-flavored sweets = 36
Number of grape-flavored sweets = 44
To find: largest possible number of sweets in each tray
Solution:
HCF(highest common factor) of two or more numbers refers to the greatest number which can divide the given numbers
To find largest possible number of sweets in each tray, find the HCF(highest common factor) of 36 and 44.
[tex]36=2^{2}\times 3^{2}\\44=2^{2}\times 11[/tex]
So,
[tex]HCF(36,44)=2^{2}=4[/tex]
So,
Largest possible number of sweets in each tray[tex]=4[/tex]
The largest possible number of sweets in each tray is 4.
In order to determine the largest possible sweets in each tray, the highest common factor of the number of sweets have to determined. The highest common factor is the highest factor that is common to two or more numbers.
Factors of 36 = 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 18, and 36.
Factors of 44 = 1, 2, 4, 11, 22, 44.

Type the correct answer in each box. A company manufactures three types of cabinets, type A, type B, and type C. Last week, the number of type B cabinets produced was 30 more than the number of type A cabinets produced. The number of type C cabinets produced was 20 more than times the number of type A cabinets produced. If the company made the same number of type B and type C cabinets last week, then the number of type A cabinets produced was _____ . The total number of cabinets produced last week was ____.
Hi There!!
B = 1/2A + 30
C = 3/2A + 20
B = C
1/2A + 30 = 3/2A + 20
30 - 20 = 3/2A - 1/2A
10 = A
B = 1/2A + 30
B = 1/2(10) + 30
B = 5 + 30
B = 35
C = 3/2A + 20
C = 3/2(10) + 20
C = 15 + 20
C = 35
type A cabinets produced was 10
type B and type C cabinets produced were both 35

REALLY IN NEED OF HELP!! please do the best you can<3 Many companies make products to sell, either to other businesses or directly to consumers. The amount of money that a company collects from sales of its products is called its revenue. When a business produces a product, there are costs associated with production. For example, if a cola company is producing a diet cola, they incur costs from purchasing ingredients, aluminum to make cans, cardboard to make boxes, as well as the cost of paying their employees, and more. The profit that a company earns is the difference between the amount earned and the amount spent. Consider the lip color product from each of the two competing high-end cosmetic companies described below. The Alcone Company Besame Beauty This company makes a popular shade of lip color that retails for $45 per tube. The lip color costs The Alcone Company $36 per tube to make and the monthly costs associated with manufacturing just this color are $1,500.

What is the minimum number of lip color tubes each company would need to manufacture and sell in order to earn a profit that is greater than 0? Interpret your answers in context of the question
Answer:
1. Profit = Revenue - Cost
2. For the Alcone Company Revenue = $45 × x
For the Besame Beauty Revenue = $55 × x
3. Alcone Company; Cost = $1,500 + $36×x
Besame Beauty; Cost = $2,200 + $44×x
4) For Alcone Company, we have;
Profit = $9 × x - $1,500
For Besame Beauty, we have;
Profit = $11 × x - $2,200
5) For Alcone Company;
Profit= $525
For Besame Beauty;
Profit = $275
6) For Alcone Company;
Profit = -$150
For Besame Beauty;
Profit -$550
7) Order of operations is used to ensure that the revenue is first calculated before the cost is subtracted to find the costs
8) In order to find the number of tubes that the company would need to manufacture in order to have a profit of greater than 0, we equate the expression using the inequality of greater than 0 to find the value of x that must be surpassed to have a profit greater than 0
9) For Alcone Company;
The profit will be > 0 at x = 167 tubes
For Besame Beauty;
The profit will be > 0 at x = 201 tubes
Step-by-step explanation:
The given parameters are;
The Alcone Company
The price at which the shade of lip color is sold = $45 per tube
The cost incurred to make the lip color = $36 per tube
The monthly manufacturing cost of manufacturing the lip color = $1,500
For Besame Beauty
The price at which the shade of lip color is sold = $55 per tube
The cost incurred to make the lip color = $44 per tube
The monthly manufacturing cost of manufacturing the lip color = $2,200
1. The formula for finding the profit is given as follows;
Profit = Revenue - Cost
Revenue = Sale price × Number of tubes sold
Cost = The monthly manufacturing cost + The cost incurred to make the lip color × Number of tubes
2. The expression for revenue for the Alcone Company is given as follows;
Revenue = $45 × x
The expression for revenue for the Besame Beauty is given as follows;
Revenue = $55 × x
3. The expression for the cost for the manufacture of the lip color by the Alcone Company per month is given as follows;
Cost = $1,500 + $36×x
The expression for the cost for the manufacture of the lip color by the Besame Beauty per month is given as follows;
Cost = $2,200 + $44×x
4) For Alcone Company, we have;
Revenue = $45 × x
Cost = $1,500 + $36×x
By transitive property and distributive property, we have
Profit = Revenue - Cost = $45 × x - ($1,500 + $36×x) = $9 × x - $1,500
Profit = $9 × x - $1,500
For Besame Beauty, we have;
Revenue = $55 × x
Cost = $2,200 + $44×x
By transitive property and distributive property, we have;
Profit = Revenue - Cost = $55 × x - ($2,200 + $44×x) = $11 × x - $2,200
Profit = $11 × x - $2,200
5) With the number of tubes produced = 225 tubes, we have;
For Alcone Company;
Profit = $9 × x - $1,500 = $9 × 225 - $1,500 = $525
ForBesame Beauty;
Profit = $11 × x - $1,500 = $11 × 225 - $2,200 = $275
6) With the number of tubes produced = 150 tubes, we have;
For Alcone Company;
Profit = $9 × x - $1,500 = $9 × 150 - $1,500 = -$150
For Besame Beauty;
Profit = $11 × x - $2,200 = $11 × 150 - $2,200 = -$550
7) Order of operations is used to ensure that the revenue is first calculated before the cost is subtracted to find the costs
8) In order to find the number of tubes that the company would need to manufacture in order to have a profit of greater than 0, we equate the expression using the inequality of greater than 0 to find the value of x that must be surpassed to have a profit greater than 0
9) For Alcone Company;
Profit = $9 × x - $1,500 >0
$9 × x >0 + $1,500
$9 × x > $1,500
x > $1,500/$9
x > 500/3
x > [tex]166\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Therefore, the profit will be > 0 at x = 167 tubes
For Besame Beauty;
Profit = $11 × x - $2,200 > 0
$11 × x > 0 + $2,200
$11 × x > $2,200
x > $2,200/$11
x > 200
Therefore, the profit will be > 0 at x = 201 tubes

What is the equation for g, which is f(x) = 2x2 + 3x − 1 reflected across the y-axis? Group of answer choices g(x) = −2x2 − 3x − 1 g(x) = 2x2 + 3x − 1 g(x) = −2x2 − 3x + 1 g(x) = 2x2 − 3x − 1
Answer:
[tex]g(x) = 2x^2 - 3x - 1[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
[tex]f(x) = 2x^2 + 3x - 1[/tex]
Required
Determine g(x), if f(x) is reflected across the y axis
When a function (x,y) is reflected across the y axis, the new function becomes (−x,y).
In other words,
[tex]g(x) = f(-x)[/tex]
Calculating f(-x)
[tex]f(-x) = 2(-x)^2 + 3(-x) - 1[/tex]
[tex]f(-x) = 2x^2 - 3x - 1[/tex]
Substitute g(x) for f(-x)
[tex]g(x) = 2x^2 - 3x - 1[/tex]
Hence;
[tex]g(x) = 2x^2 - 3x - 1[/tex]

Using four or more complete sentences, contrast race and ethnicity and provide an example of each.
Answer:
Race and Ethnicity are considered to be social constructs that enable humans to be grouped or categorized. They are sometimes used interchangeably but most argue that they are different and give them different definitions.
Race is generally used to refer to people that have the same physical characteristics such as skin color or the same texture of hair for instance Black and White/Caucasian.
Ethnicity on the other hand relates to people sharing a common culture, language, nation, and/ or tribal heritage for instance, the English, the Irish and the Igbo.
Answer:
The terms race and ethnicity are often used interchangeably throughout society. However, there is a distinct difference between the two. Race refers to a classification system based on inherited physical or biological traits, such as eye, hair, or skin color. In contrast, ethnicity refers to a group of people that can be linked together by common characteristics such as shared experiences, history, culture, or beliefs. Examples of ethnic groups include Native Americans, French Canadians, and Kongos.

The boys used up all the bread to make the sandwiches. They used 2 slices to make each sandwich. How many sandwiches did they make for the shelter?
Answer:
63 sandwiches
Step-by-step explanation:
Pete and his friend Danny volunteered to bring sandwiches for lunch at a homeless shelter
They brought 7 loaves of bread
Each loaves have 18 slices
They used 2 slices each to make the sandwich
The first step is to calculate the total number of slices
Sinces 7 loaves of bread are used and each of them contain 18 slices then, the total number of slices can be calculated as follows
= 7 ×18
= 126 slices
Therefore since 2 slices of bread is used to make one sandwich then, the number of sandwiches that was made can be calculated as follows
= 126/2
= 63
Hence 63 sandwiches were made for the shelter
I know it’s a lot but I’m pretty stupid and could use help online class ain’t easy when you’re internet sucks thanks!
Problem 5
There are 2 answers and they are choice B and choice C
We can tell by looking at the factors. For something like choice B, the factor (x+6) shows up twice, so that means x = -6 is a double root. Something like choice A has roots x = -6 and x = 6 which aren't the same.
========================================
Problem 6
Ted is correct. He set each factor equal to 0 and solved each equation that resulted from doing so.
Note how 3x-2 = 0 turns into 3x = 2 after adding 2 to both sides. Then he divided both sides by 3 to get x = 2/3. That's the first solution. The second solution x = -5 results from solving x+5 = 0. You subtract 5 from both sides.
To fix Maggie's mistake, you just need to correct her steps to mirror Ted's steps.
