Solve for .

$\frac{9}{x}=2$

Possible Answers:

x=4.5

x=4

x=3.5

x=5

Correct answer:

x=4.5

Example Question #95 : Equations

Solve for :

5t - 17 = 78

Possible Answers:

t = 17

t = 19

t = 21

t = 16

Correct answer:

t = 19

Explanation:

5t - 17 = 78

5t - 17 + 17= 78+ 17

5t = 95

$5t \div 5 = 95 \div 5$

t = 19

Example Question #96 : Equations

Solve for :

x (x-6) = 40

Possible Answers:

$x = -4 \textrm{ or }x = 10$

$x = 8 \textrm{ or }x = -5$

$x = -8 \textrm{ or }x = 5$

$x = 4 \textrm{ or }x = -10$

Correct answer:

$x = -4 \textrm{ or }x = 10$

Explanation:

Rewrite in standard form:

x (x-6) = 40

$x \cdot x-x \cdot 6 = 40$

$x ^{2}-6x = 40$

$x ^{2}-6x- 40 = 40 - 40$

$x ^{2}-6x- 40 = 0$

Factor the quadratic expression as (x + ?)(x + ?) , replacing the question marks with two integers whose product is and whose sum is . The integers are -10, 4 , so we write the equation as

(x -10)(x + 4) = 0

Set each linear binomial to 0 and solve:

$x - 10 = 0\Rightarrow x = 10$

$x + 4 = 0\Rightarrow x = -4$

Example Question #97 : Equations

Solve for :

-6x + 13 > 78

Possible Answers:

$x > 10 \frac{5}{6}$

$x < 10 \frac{5}{6}$

$x > -10 \frac{5}{6}$

$x < -10 \frac{5}{6}$

Correct answer:

$x < -10 \frac{5}{6}$

Explanation:

-6x + 13 > 78

-6x + 13 - 13 > 78- 13

-6x > 65

$-6x \div (-6) < 65 \div (-6)$

Note: switch the symbol when dividing by a negative number

$x < -10 \frac{5}{6}$

Example Question #901 : Concepts

Solve for :

$- \frac{6}{5}y > -\frac{9}{20}$

Possible Answers:

$y< - \frac{3}{8}$

$y< \frac{3}{8}$

$y> - \frac{3}{8}$

$y> \frac{3}{8}$

Correct answer:

$y< \frac{3}{8}$

Explanation:

$- \frac{6}{5}y > -\frac{9}{20}$

$- \frac{5}{6} \left ( - \frac{6}{5} y \right )< - \frac{5}{6} \left ( -\frac{9}{20} \right )$

Note: switch the symbol when dividing by a negative number

$y< \frac{5}{6} \cdot \frac{9}{20}$

$y< \frac{1}{2} \cdot \frac{3}{4}$

$y< \frac{3}{8}$

Example Question #292 : Algebra

Solve for :

6 (t - 0.13 ) = 9

Possible Answers:

t = 1.47

t = 1.63

t = 1.52

t = 1.37

Correct answer:

t = 1.63

Explanation:

Distribute, then solve:

6 (t - 0.13 ) = 9

$6 \cdot t - 6 \cdot 0.13 = 9$

6 t - 0.78 = 9

6 t - 0.78 + 0.78 = 9+ 0.78

6 t = 9.78

$6 t \div 6 = 9.78 \div 6$

t = 1.63

Example Question #293 : Algebra

Solve for :

10 - 0.4t = 8.11

Possible Answers:

t = 4.725

t = -4.725

t = 45.275

t = - 45.275

Correct answer:

t = 4.725

Explanation:

10 - 0.4t = 8.11

10 - 0.4t - 10 = 8.11- 10

-0.4t = - ( 10.00 - 8.11 )

-0.4t = - 1.89

$0.4t \div 0.4 = - 1.89 \div \left ( -0.4 \right )$

$t = 1.89 \div 0.4$

Move each decimal point one digit right:

$t = 18.9 \div 4 = 4.725$

Example Question #294 : Algebra

Give the solution set of the inequality:

4t + 9 < 35

Possible Answers:

$t < 6 \frac{1}{2}$

t < 13

t < 11

$t < 7 \frac{1}{2}$

Correct answer:

$t < 6 \frac{1}{2}$

Explanation:

4t + 9 < 35

4t + 9 -9 < 35-9

4t < 26

$4t \div 4 < 26 \div 4$

$t < 6 \frac{2}{4}$

$t < 6 \frac{1}{2}$
