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?”
number 27 please.. i can not figure it out.
Answer: x=-12
Step-by-step explanation:
To solve for x, you want to use algebraic properties to isolate x.
[tex]\frac{x}{4}=2+\frac{x-3}{3}[/tex] [subtract both sides by [tex]\frac{x-3}{3}[/tex]]
[tex]\frac{x}{4}-\frac{x-3}{3}=2[/tex] [get common denominator]
[tex]\frac{3x}{12} -\frac{4x-12}{12} =2[/tex] [subtract]
[tex]\frac{-x+12}{12} =2[/tex] [multiply both sides by 12]
[tex]-x+12=24[/tex] [subtract both sides by 12]
[tex]-x=12[/tex] [divide both sides by -1]
[tex]x=-12[/tex]
Now, we know that x=-12.

Complete the sentences to make true statements 6 is 100 times 0.06 is 10 times 60 is 1/100 of
Answer:
6 is 100 times 0.06
0.06 is 10 times 0.006
60 is 1/100 of 6,000
Step-by-step explanation:
Since 6/100 is equal to 0.06, we can say that 6 is the result of multiplying 0.06 by one hundred (0.06 x 100 = 6).
On the other hand, since 0.06 / 10 is equal to 0.006, it is correct to say that 0.006 x 10 is equal to 0.06 (0.006 x 10 = 0.06).
Finally, 60 is one hundredth of 6000, since multiplying 60 x 100 the result is 6,000 (6,000 / 100 = 60).

In the figure shown, suppose m angle ABC=n and m angle ABD=2(m angle DBC). The angle bisector of angle DBC is BE. What is m angle EBC
Answer:
n/6
Step-by-step explanation:
If angle bisector of angle DBC is BE. What is m angle EBC, then <DBE = <EBC
Since <ABC = <ABD+<DBC
n = 2<DBC+<DBC
n = 3<DBC
<DBC = n/3
Since <DBC = 2EBC
n/3 = 2<EBC
n/6 = <EBC
Hence <EBC = n/6

The school athletic director had a budget of $500 to purchase 164 items
for the soccer team. She purchased vests for $2.50 each, soccer balls for
$9.25 each, and cones for $0.75 each. She purchased 40 more cones than
balls. How many of each item can purchase?
Answer: She purchased 72 cones, 32 balls, and 60 vests.
Step-by-step explanation:
The total number of items is 164.
The price of the vests is $2.50 each.
The price of the soccer balls is $9.25 each.
The price of the cones is $0.75 each.
The total budget was $500.
If V is the number of vests, B the number of balls, and C the number of cones, we have that:
V + B + C = 164.
V*$2.50 + B*$9.25 + C*$0.75 = $500.
and:
"She purchased 40 more cones than balls."
C = B + 40.
Then we have a system of 3 equations and 3 variables:
V + B + C = 164.
V*$2.50 + B*$9.25 + C*$0.75 = $500.
C = B + 40.
Here the first step is to replace the third equation into the other two, in this way we eliminate one variable and one equation:
V + B + (B + 40) = 164
V*$2.50 + B*$9.25 + (B + 40)*$0.75 = $500.
Now we want to isolate one variable in one of the equations, i will isolate V in the first equation:
V = 164 - 2*B - 40 = 124 - 2*B
Now i can replace this into the other equation:
(124 - 2*B)*$2.50 + B*$9.25 + (B + 40)*$0.75 = $500
Now let's solve this for B.
$310 - $5*B + B*$9.25 + B*$0.75 + $30 = $500
B*( $9.25 - $5 + $0.75) = $500 - $310 - $30
B*$5 = $160
B = 160/5 = 32
Now we know the value of B.
And by the equations above:
V = 124 -2*B = 124 - 2*32 = 60
C = B + 40 = 32 + 40 = 72.
Then:
She purchased 72 cones, 32 balls and 60 vests.

S=c+g for g (help)!!!!!
Answer:
g = S - c
Step-by-step explanation:
Isolate the variable, g. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Simply subtract c from both sides:
S = g + c
S (-c) = g + c (-c)
S - c = g
g = S - c is your answer.

Ann invested $61,000 into two accounts. The first account pays an annual interest rate of 5% and the second account pays an annual interest rate of 7%. After one year, Ann earned $3430 in interest. How much was invested in each account? Round your answer to the nearest cent, if necessary. [For full credit, set a system of linear equations and solve the system]
Answer:
2nd Account has $19,000
1st Account has $42,000
Step-by-step explanation:
First let's split the money invested.
x is money in account 1
y is money in account 2
1st equation
$61,000=x+y
5%=0.05
7%=0.07
2nd equation
0.05*x+0.07*y=$3,430
x=61,000-y
substitute into 2nd equation
0.05(61,000-y)+0.07y=3430
Solve.
3050-0.05y+0.07y=3430
0.02y=3430-3050
0.02y=380
y=380/0.02
y=$19,000
There are 2(two) ways to solve for the 1st account, but I will do it the long way.
y=61,000-x
substitute into 2nd equation
0.07(61,000-x)+0.05x=3430
Solve.
4270-0.07x+0.05x=3430
-0.02x=3430-4270
-0.02x=-840
x=-840/-0.02
x=$42,000
The short way...
x=61,000-y
x=61,000-19,000
x=$42,000

Wade Ellis buys a new car for $16,183.11. He puts 10% down and obtains a simple interest amortized loan for the rest at 11 1/2% interest for four years. How do we find his monthly payment and total interest
Answer:
If a new car was purchased for a cost of $16,183.11, and a down payment of 10% of the value was made, the initial payment was $1,618.31.
Thus, the remaining amount to be financed is $14,564.79. It will be financed in 4 years, at an annual interest rate of 11.5%, for four years. Thus, the total interest will be 46% (11.5 x 4), to be distributed among the 4 years of the financing. Then, the total amount to be paid will be $21,264.59, which will be paid in 48 equal monthly payments of $443.01 (21,264.59 / 48).
perform the indicated operation (-2i+3i)+(-1-4i)
Answer:
-1 -3i
Step-by-step explanation:
It is unusual to have two imaginary terms grouped together like this. Taking the question at face value, we treat i as though it were a variable, and collect terms in the usual way.
(-2i +3i) +(-1 -4i) = i(-2+3-4) -1 = -1 -3i
A government agency has 6000 employees. As an alternative to the traditional five day work week, employees were asked whether they preferred a four day work week (10 hours per day) or flexible hours. The employee data provides the results by age category. What is the probability that a randomly selected employee at this government agency prefers a four day work week or is under 30
The table showing the data is missing, so i have attached it.
Answer:
0.8
Step-by-step explanation:
We want to find the probability that a randomly selected employee at this government agency prefers a four day work week or is under 30.
Now, we are told that the government agency has 6000 employees. Also, from the attached table, we see that the number of people who prefer a 4 day work week are a total of:
600 + 1200 + 2100 = 3900
Thus, probability of people who prefer a 4 day work week = 3900/6000 = 39/60
Also, we see that total number of people aged under 30 = 600 + 300 = 900
Thus, probability of people aged under 30 is;
900/6000 = 3/20
Thus;
probability that a randomly selected employee at this government agency prefers a four day work week or is under 30 = 39/60 + 3/20 = 48/60 = 4/5 = 0.8

Answer:
the lower right matrix is the third correct choice
Step-by-step explanation:
Your problem statement shows that you have correctly selected the matrices representing the initial problem setup (middle left) and the problem solution (middle right).
Of the remaining matrices, the upper left is an incorrect setup, and the lower left is an incorrect solution matrix.
__
We notice that in the remaining matrices on the right that the (2,3) term is 0, and the (3,2) and (3,3) terms are both 1.
The easiest way to get a 0 in the 3rd column of row 2 is to add the first row to the second. When you do that, you get ...
[tex]\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&1&29000\\1+2&1-3&1-1&1000(29+1)\\0&0.15&0.15&2100\end{array}\right] =\left[\begin{array}{ccc|c}1&1&1&29000\\3&-2&0&30000\\0&0.15&0.15&2100\end{array}\right][/tex]
Already, we see that the second row matches that in the lower right matrix.
The easiest way to get 1's in the last row is to divide that row by 0.15. When we do that, the (3,4) entry becomes 2100/0.15 = 14000, matching exactly the lower right matrix.
The correct choices here are the two you have selected, and the lower right matrix.
which value is a solution to the inequality 2x-5<-12?
Answer:
x < -4
Step-by-step explanation:
2x-5<-12, add 5 to both sides so then you get 2x<-8, then divide by two, x<-4 and your answer!
Answer: x<7/2
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1. You are moving the constant, 5, to the right-hand side and changing the sign from a - to a +. Your new inequality is 2x<-12+5.
Step 2. Calculate the sum. You are adding -12 and 5. This is what your new inequality looks like: 2x<-7.
Step 3 (final step). You will now divide both sides by 2, and you will get a final answer of x<-7/2.

-105°Step-by-step explanation:
Rotation is counterclockwise
It means the angle is negative
We can see point C of the original figure is making a vertical line with point P
If we connect P to C' it is going to make more than 90 degree angle as it is above the horizontal line passing through the point P
Therefore we can estimate the angle as -105°
