Somebody please help me make some sense out of this:

“One morning a certain number of passengers got on an elevator at the main floor of an office building. Four got off at the second floor, of the remainder at the third floor, 75% of the remainder at the fourth floor and 3 at the 5th floor. If the elevator was empty at this point, how many got on the elevator at the main floor?”

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Let us try to find the lenght of AM step-by-step to see if Jessica is correct or incorrect in her conclusion and possibly find out where she made an error if she's incorrect.

Now briefly, keys state some facts that explains or guides us while solving a problem like this:

1. Point M is the midpoint of segment AB.

2. The midpoint M, is a bisector of segment AB.

3. Segment AB is divided into two congruent or equal parts, AM and MB.

4. Therefore, by implication, segment AM (4x - 18) = segment MB (2x - 2).

5. To find the lenght of AM, we need to generate an equation to enable us solve for the value of x.

6. Equation to use to solve using algebra can be gotten by setting segment AM equal to segment MB. Which gives us:

4x - 18 = 2x - 2

Solve for x. Combine like terms.

4x - 2x = 18 - 2

2x = 16

Divide both sides by 2

x = 8

To find the lenght of AM = 4x - 18, replace x with 8 in the expression for the lenght of segment AM. (Note: this is what Jessica failed to do. She assumed 8 to be the length of segment AM.)

AM = 4(8) - 18 (Substitution)

AM = 32 - 18

Length of segment AM = 14 units

Jessica's error was her assuming that x = 8, is the length of segment AM. Her conclusion is wrong.

She ought to have plug in the value of x into the expression given for the lenght of segment AM.

Answer:

[tex]w=1\text{ or } w=-3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the equation:

[tex]5-3|2+2w|=-7[/tex]

First, subtract 5 from both sides:

[tex]-3|2+2w|=-12[/tex]

Divide both sides by -3:

[tex]|2+2w|=4[/tex]

Definition of Absolute Value:

[tex]2+2w=4\text{ or } 2+2w=-4[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by 2 for both equations:

[tex]1+w=2\text{ or } 1+w=-2[/tex]

Subtract 1 from both sides:

[tex]w=1\text{ or } w=-3[/tex]

And we're done!

To check:

[tex]5-3|2+2(1)|=-7[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]5-3|2+2|=-7[/tex]

Add:

[tex]5-3|4|=-7[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]5-12=-7[/tex]

Subtract:

[tex]-7\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}-7[/tex]

And:

[tex]5-3|2+2(-3)|=-7[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]5-3|2-6|=-7[/tex]

Subtract:

[tex]5-3|-4|=-7[/tex]

Absolute Value:

[tex]5-3(4)=-7[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]5-12=-7[/tex]

Subtract:

[tex]-7\stackrel{\checkmark}{=}-7[/tex]

Answer:

18%:540 20%:600 22%:660

Step-by-step explanation:

18%:540 20%:600 22%:660

20-2=18 20+2=22

The required least to the greatest number of students their favorite color is red is 540 and 660 respectively.

Given that,
A group of students was asked about their favorite colors,
20% of the students said that their favorite color is red.
There are about 3000 students in the school.
The margin of error is ±2%,
To determine what is the range of the number of students who likely say that their favorite color is red

In mathematics, it deals with numbers of operations according to the statements. There are four major arithmetic operators, addition, subtraction, multiplication and division,

Here,
Total number of students = 3000
Number of students like red color = 20% of 3000 = 0.20 * 3000 = 600
the margin of error ±2% of 3000 = ± 0.02 * 3000 = ± 60
Least number of students their favorite color is red = 600 - 60 = 540
Greatest  number of students their favorite color is red = 600 + 60 = 660

Thus, the required least to the greatest number of students whose favorite color is red is 540 and 660 respectively.

Answer:

Inequality form : - 5 + squareroot13 / 2 < x < - 5- squareroot13 / 2 or x > 2

Step-by-step explanation: Solve the inequality by finding the roots and creating test intervals.

I hope this helps you out! :)

The solution to the inequality is [tex]\rm \left (\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{13} }{2} < x < \dfrac{-5-\sqrt{13} }{2} \right ) \ or \ x > 2[/tex].

The Interval Notation is [tex]\rm \left (\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{13} }{2} , \dfrac{-5-\sqrt{13} }{2} \right ) \cup (2, \infty)[/tex].

In Mathematics, the relationship between two values that are not equal is defined by inequalities.

The given inequality is;

[tex]\rm x^3 + 3x^2 > 7x + 6[/tex]

The solution to the inequality is determined in the following steps given below.

[tex]\rm x^3 + 3x^2 > 7x + 6\\\\\rm x^3 + 3x^2-7x-6 > 7x + 6-7x-6\\\\ x^3 + 3x^2-7x-6 > 0\\\rm \\ x(x^2+5x+3)-2(x^2+5x+3) > 0\\\\ \rm x^3+5x^2+3x-2x^2-10x-6 > 0\\\\ x(x^2+5x+3)-2(x^2+5x+3) > 0\\\\\rm (x-2)(x^2+5x+3) > 0[/tex]

Now finding the roots of the inequality;

[tex]\rm (x-2)(x^2+5x+3) > 0 \\\\(x-2) \left (\dfrac{-5\pm\sqrt{25-12} }{2} \right )\\\\(x-2)\left (\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{13} }{2} \right )\left (\dfrac{-5-\sqrt{13} }{2} \right )[/tex]

Hence, the solution to the inequality is [tex]\rm \left (\dfrac{-5+\sqrt{13} }{2} < x < \dfrac{-5-\sqrt{13} }{2} \right ) \ or \ x > 2[/tex].

Answer:

x = -9

Step-by-step explanation:

add 4x to both sides of the equal sign so then you'd have -2x + 14 = 32

then subtract 14 from both sides to where you have -2x = 18

then divide both sides by -2 and get x= -9

Rounding to a certain number of decimal places

If we want to round 4.732 to 2 decimal places, it will either round to 4.73 or 4.74. 4.732 rounded to 2 decimal places would be 4.73 (because it is the nearest number to 2 decimal places).

Answer:

Jacob's age is 42

Jasmine's age is 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Jacob's age be x

Let Jasmine's age be y

x + y = 66

x - 6 = 2(y - 6)

x - 6 = 2y - 12

x - 2y = -12 + 6

x - 2y = -6

x + y = 66 ------- (1)

x - 2y = -6 ------- (2)

From (1),

x = 66 - y -------- (3)

Substitute the value of x in (2)

x - 2y = -6

66 - y - 2y = -6

-3y = -6 - 66

-3y = -72

y = -72/-3

y = 24

Solve for x in (1)

x + y = 66

x + 24 = 66

x = 66 - 24 = 42

x = 42, y = 24

Answer:

3500cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a triangle= bxh/2

10x10=100

7x10=70

100x70=7000

7000/2=3500

Answer:

  3500 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The given triangle has an area of ...

  A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(10 cm)(7 cm) = 35 cm²

The area of the enlarged triangle will be 10² = 100 times that, or 3500 cm².

__

You can see this if you use the enlarged dimensions in the area formula:

  A = (1/2)bh = (1/2)(10·10 cm)(10·7 cm) = 100·35 cm² = 3500 cm

Answer:

7/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Odds against are the ratio between losses and wins.

odds against = L / W

Probability of winning is the ratio between wins and all games.

probability = W / games

probability = W / (W + L)

The odds against are 1 to 7.

1/7 = L / W

W = 7 L

The probability is therefore:

P = (7 L) / (7 L + L)

P = 7/8
