half a number decreased by three is equal to 38 less than four times the number

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

10

Step-by-step explanation:

let the unknown number be x

so half of x decreased by 3 is

1/2x -3

It is equal to 38 less than 4 times the number which is x; 4x-37

THEREFORE;

½x-3 =4x -38

x-6/2 = 4x-38

cross-multiply

x-6 =8x -76

x-8x = -76+6

-7x = -70

Divide both sides by -7

So x =10

[tex]\large\tt Step-by-step~explanation:[/tex]

To solve for x, we have to isolate the variable.

[tex]\tt Step~1:[/tex]

First, we distribute 3 to (x - 2) because when there are parentheses with terms inside it next to another term, then we have to multiply them together.

[tex]\tt 3*x=3x\\3*-2=-6\\3x-6=18[/tex]

[tex]\tt Step~2:[/tex]

Next, we add six on the left side of the equation to cancel out - 6. We also add 6 to the right, because we have to do whatever we do on both sides of the equation.

[tex]\tt 3x-6(+6)=18(+6)\\3x=24[/tex]

[tex]\tt Step~3:[/tex]

Finally, we divide both sides by 3 to isolate x and get our answer.

[tex]\tt \frac{3x}{3}=x\\\frac{24}{3}=8\\x=8[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

y = - 3x² - 24x - 60

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h, k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

Here (h, k) = (- 4, - 12 ), thus

y = a(x + 4)² - 12

To calculate a substitute (- 7, - 39) into the equation

- 39 = a(- 7 + 4)² - 12 ( add 12 to both sides )

- 27 = 9a ( divide both sides by 9 )

- 3 = a

y = - 3(x + 4)² - 12 ← in vertex form

Expand (x + 4)²

y = - 3(x² + 8x + 16) - 12

   = - 3x² - 24x - 48 - 12

y = - 3x² - 24x - 60 ← in standard form

   = - 3(x²

BC = 4x + 2 AB = 8x + 8 and AC = 22 Find BC

Answers

Answer:

BC = 6.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The distance from A to B, then from B to C, is the same distance as from A to C.

Thus,

AB + BC = AC

AB = 8x + 8

BC = 4x + 2

AC = 22

AB + BC = AC

(8x + 8) + (4x + 2) = 22

Expanding the parenthesis:

8x + 8 + 4x + 2 = 22

8x + 4x + 8 + 2 = 22

12x + 12 = 22

Subtracting 12 from both sides:

12x = 10

Dividing both sides by 12:

x = 10/12 = 1.2

x = 1.2

We're looking for BC. As we know,

BC = 4x + 2

Let's now put in x = 1.2 into this equation:

BC = 4x + 2

BC = 4 * 1.2 + 2

Since 4 * 1.2 is 4.8:

BC = 4.8 + 2

BC = 6.8

Answer: BC = 6.8

Serena estimates that she can paint 60 square feet of wall space every half-hour. Write an equation for the relationship with time in hours as the independent variable x and the square footage she can paint as the dependent variable y. Can she paint 400 square feet in 3.5 hrs

Answers

Answer:

So, the relationship with i hours as the indecent variables would be  

Serena can't paint 400 square feet of wall space of wall space in 3.5 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Area that she can paint = 60 square feet

Time taken = half hour = 30 minutes = 0.5 hours

Using "Unitary method, we get that

In 0.5 hours, she can paint = 60 square feet

In 1 hour, she can paint =  

In i hours, she can paint =  

Let the total area she can paint be 'y'.

So, the relationship with i hours as the indecent variables would be

Now,  Can Serena paint 400 square feet of wall space i. 3.5 hours

We put y = 400 and i = 3.5 hours to check whether it is equal or not.

Hence, Serena can't paint 400 square feet of wall space of wall space in 3.5 hours.

So, that means 3 kilograms=3,000 grams. Let's rewrite our ratio.

500g:3,000g

So now they're the same units, but it isn't simplified. This last parts easy. To simplify a ratio, find the number you can divided both number with. In this situation, that number is 500. 500 divided by 500= 1, and 3,000 divided by 500= 6.
