"one less than the product of a number and 3 is 5 more than the number itself"

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

  the number is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Perhaps you'd like to find the number.

If n represents the number, we can write the relationship as ...

  3n -1 = n +5

Adding 1-n to both sides gives ...

  2n = 6

  n = 3 . . . . divide by 2

The number is 3.

_____

Check

The product of the number and 3 is 9. One less is 8. That is 5 more than the number itself: 8 = 3 + 5.

Answer: B) y = -x

==============================================

Work Shown:

g(x) = x^2-2

g(-2) = (-2)^2-2

g(-2) = 2

Saying (-2, g(-2)) is the same as saying (-2, 2)

---------------

g(x) = x^2-2

g(1) = 1^2 - 2

g(1) = -1

Saying (1, g(1)) is the same as saying (1, -1)

---------------

Let's find the slope of the line through (-2,2) and (1,-1)

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)

m = (-1-2)/(1-(-2))

m = (-1-2)/(1+2)

m = -3/3

m = -1

Now turn to point slope form to find the equation

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y - 2 = -1(x - (-2))

y - 2 = -(x + 2)

y - 2 = -x - 2

y-2+2 = -x-2+2 ... add 2 to both sides

y = -x

You could use the other point (1,-1) and you'd get the same answer. The slope m = -1 is the same each time.

Step 1: Simplify both sides of the equation.

15=7x+3−5x

15=7x+3+−5x

15=(7x+−5x)+(3)(Combine Like Terms)

15=2x+3

15=2x+3

Step 2: Flip the equation.

2x+3=15

if some one bakes 150 cookies and eats 10% how many did she eat

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{ \bold{ \boxed{ \sf{15 \: cookies}}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cookies = 150

percentage of cookies that she ate = 10 %

To find : Number of cookies that she ate

[tex] \sf{10\% \: of \: 150}[/tex]

To convert percent into fraction, divide it by 100 and remove the % symbol.

A line passes through the points (2,3) and (6,y) with a slope of 2. What is the value of y?

Answers

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is always rise over run.

We need to make the rise over run equivalent to 2 to find the value of y.

Looking at the x-coordinates, 2 and 6, we can see there is an increase in 4.

Now we ask: What number, times 2, will equal 4?

That is 2.

So we have to make the increase in the y coordinates 2.

If we have the original point 3, an increase in 2 is 5.

So y is 5.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

11 = y

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the slope formula

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

2 = (y-3)/(6-2)

2 = (y-3)/4

Multiply each side by 4

2*4 = y-3

8 = y-3

Add 3  to each side

8+3 = y-3+3

11 = y

Elizabeth wrote 3.3 - 0.21= 1.2 Is her answer​ reasonable? Explain why or why not. Choose the correct answer below and fill in the answer box to complete your choice. A. The estimate would be 0-0= nothing​, so her answer is reasonable. B. The estimate would be 4-0= nothing​, so her answer is not reasonable. C. The estimate would be 3-0= nothing​, so her answer is not reasonable. D. The estimate would be 3-0= nothing​, so her answer is reasonable.

Answers

Answer:

The estimate would be 3-0= nothing​, so her answer is not reasonable.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression written by Elizabeth as  3.3 - 0.21= 1.2, to check if Elizabeth expression is reasonable or not, we need to check if her answer is close to or equal to the answer of the diiferebce between 3.3 - 0.21.

Converting 3.3 and 0.21 to fraction

3.3 = 33/10

0.21 = 21/100

Taking the difference of both fractions

[tex]= \dfrac{33}{10} -\dfrac{21}{100} \\\\= \dfrac{330-21}{100} \\\\= \dfrac{309}{100} \\\\= 3.09\\[/tex]

Hence 3.3 - 0.21 = 3.09 ≈ 3.0 (to nearest whole number). Comparing Elizabeth answer which is 1.2 to the answer f=gotten, it can be seen that her answer is far from the right answer with a difference of about 1.8 (3.0-1.2). This large difference makes Elizabeth answer unreasonable.

D.

The estimate would be 30

3​, so her answer is not reasonable

Step-by-step explanation:

5(m-2) - 10 = 6 + 2(1 - m)  Apply the distributive property on both sides

5m -10 -10 = 6 + 2-2m         Now combine like terms on both sides

5m -20 = 8- 2m     Now add 2m to both sides

+2m              +2m

7m  - 20= 8    Add 20 to both sides

        +20  +20

7m = 28      Divide both sides by  7

What is the solution to this system of equations?
x + 3y - z = 6
4x - 2y + 2z= -10
6x + z= -12

(an explanation would be great because i barely understand how to do this)

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=-3, y=5, z=6[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide by 2 both sides in the second equation:

[tex]4x - 2y + 2z= -10[/tex] [tex]2x - y + z= -5[/tex]

2. From the third equation find z in terms of x:

[tex]6x + z= -12[/tex] [tex]z= -6x-12[/tex]

3. Add up the first and new second equations and find y in terms of x:

[tex](x+2x)+(3y-y)+(-z+z)=6+(-5)[/tex] [tex]3x+2y=1[/tex] [tex]2y=1-3x[/tex] [tex]y=0.5-1.5x[/tex]

4. Put new alternatives instead of y and z in the first equation:

[tex]x+3(0.5-1.5x)-(-6x-12)=6[/tex] [tex]x+1.5-4.5x+6x+12=6[/tex] [tex]2.5x=-7.5[/tex] [tex]x=-3[/tex]

5. Now we can easily find other two unknowns by using their equations by means of x:

[tex]y=0.5-1.5\times(-3)[/tex] [tex]y=0.5+4.5[/tex] [tex]y=5[/tex][tex]z=-6\times(-3)-12[/tex] [tex]z=18-12[/tex] [tex]z=6[/tex]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 6y - 2z = 12

12x - 6y + 6z = -30

14x + 4z = -18

6x + z = -12

14x + 4z = -18

-24x - 4z = 48

-10x = 30

x = -3

6(-3) + z = -12

-18 + z = -12

z = 6

-3 + 3y - 6 = 6

-9 + 3y = 6

3y = 15

y = 5

x = -3, y = 5, z = 6

When a problem involves more than one unit for a characteristic (such as length), now can you tell which unit is more appropriate to report the answer in?

Answers

Answer:

For larger measurements, we use larger unit while for smaller measurement we use smaller unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normally, For larger distances we make use of larger units while for smaller distances we make use of smaller units.

For example, if we consider the distance travelled by a person in some days;

For 15000 units distance; We can represent this value as 15 Kilometers

For 800 units distance; Rather than using kilometers, it would be better to represent it in meters as 8 meters.

Also, For 70 units distance; Instead of kilometers or meters, 70 cm would be a better unit of representation.

Likewise, If we consider some 3 dimensional shapes holding some substances,

For 7000 units, best unit of weight representation would be 7 Kg

For 600 units, instead of in kg, best unit of weight representation would be 600 grams

For 50 units, best unit of weight representation would be 50 grams

So, looking at the examples given in both weight and distances, we will conclude that for larger measurements, we use larger unit while for smaller measurement we use smaller unit.

What is the sum of the first 150 odd positive integers?
Show work please!!!

Answers

Answer:

11325.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: address the formula, input parameters & values.

Input parameters & values:

The number series 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . . , 149, 150.

The first term a = 1

The common difference d = 1

Total number of terms n = 150

Step 2: apply the input parameter values in the formula

Sum = n/2 x (a + Tn)

= 150/2 x (1 + 150)

= 22650/2

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + . . . . + 149 + 150 = 11325

Therefore, 11325 is the sum of positive integers up to 150.

The sum of the first 150 odd positive integers is 11325.

The number series 1, 2, 3, 4, . . . . , 149, 150.

The first term a = 1

The common difference d = 1

Total number of terms n = 150

Sum = n/2 x (a + Tn)

= 150/2 x (1 + 150)

= 22650/2

1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + . . . . + 149 + 150 = 11325

What is a positive integer example?

: An integer is positive if it is greater than zero. Example 1, 2, 3 . . . Negative Integers: An integer is negative if it is less than zero. Example -1, -2, -3 . . .

The definition of a positive integer is a whole number greater than zero. The set of positive integers includes all counting numbers (that is, the natural numbers).

5-9(8 - 2x) < 2x - 115 solve for x​

Answers

Answer:

x < -3

Step-by-step explanation:

Order of Operations: BPEMDAS

Step 1: Write out equation

5 - 9(8 - 2x) < 2x - 115

Step 2: Distribute parenthesis

5 - 72 + 18x < 2x - 115

Step 3: Combine like terms

-67 + 18x < 2x - 115

Step 4: Add 67 on both sides

18x < 2x - 48

Step 5: Subtract 2x on both sides

16x < -48

Step 6: Divide both sides by 16

x < -3

And we have our answer!

Answer:

x<-3

Step-by-step explanation:

5−9(8−2x)<2x−115

Use the distributive property to multiply −9 by 8−2x.

5−72+18x<2x−115

Subtract 72 from 5 to get −67.

−67+18x<2x−115

Subtract 2x from both sides.

−67+18x−2x<−115

Combine 18x and −2x to get 16x.

−67+16x<−115

Add 67 to both sides.

16x<−115+67

Add −115 and 67 to get −48.

16x<−48

Divide both sides by 16. Since 16 is >0, the inequality direction remains the same.

x<-48/16

Divide −48 by 16

x<−3
