one number is three less than four times another. if their sum is decreased by seven, the result is twenty. find the numbers

Answers

Answer 1

x = 21

y = 6

x = 4y - 3

x + y - 7 = 20

Because we have a value for x, we can put it in the second equation to find the value of y.

4y - 3 + y - 7 = 20

Combine like terms.

5y - 10 = 20

Add 10 to both sides.

5y = 30

Divide both sides by 5.

y = 6

Now we can place this value of y back into the equation to find the exact value of x.

x + 6 - 7 = 20

Combine like terms.

x - 1 = 20

Add 1 to both sides.

x = 21

Use the equation y = 4x to answer the questions.

(a) Graph y = 4x. (b)

What is the slope of y = 4x and what does this mean?

Answers

The slope is 4 or you can think of it as 4/1 if that helps. Remember slope intercept form is y=mx+b.
Slope intercept form, y=mx+b, means that the line y, is represented by a slop m, and a y intercept b. So y=4x means that it has a slope of 4 and goes through the origin, since there is no y intercept. To graph, you would place a point on (0,0) and move over one unit, up 4 (because slope is represented by the rise/run) :)

Answers

I'm sorry if you can't read it let me know if you have any questions

The solution to the linear equation -3x - 6 = 18 is x = - 8

What is the solution of the equation?

The solution of the linear equation is calculated as follows;

The given linear equation;

-3x - 6 = 18

Move the constant term to the other side of the equation.

-3x - 6 + 6 = 18 + 6

-3x = 24

Divide both sides of the equation by the coefficient of x (-3) to isolate x.

(-3x) / (-3) = 24 / (-3)

a swimming center builds a new pool that has the dimensions 3a^6 by a^2 by b4 . what is the volume of the pool

Answers

Answer:

Volume = length * width * depth

= 3a^6 * a^2 * b^4

= 3a^(6+2)b^4

= 3a^8b^4  cubic units Answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The exponents 6 and 2 are added when the terms are multiplied

Swimming pool is generally build as a cuboid.

Volume of cuboid refers to the measurement of the space in the cuboid. It is the product of length, breadth and height of the cuboid.

Therefore the formula to calculate volume of cuboid will be:

                   [tex]\rm Volume\:of\:cuboid = \rm length\times breadth \times height[/tex]

The volume of the pool will be [tex]\rm 3a^8 b^4[/tex].

To reach the above answer, following calculations are required:

Given:

Dimensions of the pool:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \rm Length &= 3a^6\\\rm Breadth &= a^2\\\rm Height &= b^4\end[/tex]

Therefore, volume of pool will be as follows:

[tex]\begin{aligned} \rm Volume\:of\:cuboid &= \rm length\times breadth \times height\\&= 3a^6 \times a^2 \times b^4 \\&= 3a^{6+2}b^4\\&= 3a^8b^4 \end[/tex]

Volume of pool = [tex]\rm 3a^8b^4[/tex]

Help Question 1: Martina chose a random sample of 10 bags of candy from two different Brands, A and B. All bags in the sample are the same size. Martina counts the number of candy pieces in each bag and plots the results on two dot plots. A dot plot is shown. The title of the plot is Brand A. The line is numbered with tick marks at 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, and 70 and is labeled Number of Candy Pieces. There are 2 dots at 52, 1 dot at 53, 2 dots at 55, 1 dot at 56, 2 dots at 57, and 2 dots at 62. A dot plot is shown. The title of the plot is Brand B. The line is numbered with tick marks at 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, and 70 and is labeled Number of Candy Pieces.

Answers


Looking at the plots, we can see that the number of candies in Brand A bags seems to be about 55 give or take about 5 candies or so.

The number of candies in Brand B bags appears to be about 55-60 give or take 10 candies.

Intuitively, we can tell that Brand B is LESS consistent than Brand A, since Brand B's candy numbers are "all over the place." But, at the same time, it looks like Brand B bags tend to have more candy than Brand A.

The number of candies in the bags from Brand B is greater and less consistent than the number of candies in the bags from Brand A is valid statement.

What is Statistics?

Statistics is the discipline that concerns the collection, organization, analysis, interpretation, and presentation of data.

Lets compare the dot plots of the two brands.

In Brand A,

The number of candy pieces per bag ranges from 52 to 62, and the dots are relatively evenly spread out across this range.

In Brand B,

the number of candy pieces per bag ranges from 44 to 69, and the dots are more spread out, with a larger range of values.

As we observe the majority of the dots are clustered around 52, 55, 62, 65, and 67, indicating that these values are more common in Brand B than in Brand A.

Brand B has more dots in total than Brand A, suggesting that Brand B generally has more candy pieces per bag than Brand A..

Hence, the number of candies in the bags from Brand B is greater and less consistent than the number of candies in the bags from Brand A is valid statement.

A pineapple is 7 times as heavy as an orange. the pineapple also weighs 870 grams more than the orange. what is the total weight in grams for the pineapple and orange

Answers

Let's translate each sentence into "Math".

Pineapple = p

Orange = x

is means equal

 

Pineapple is 7 times as heavy as an orange:  p = 7x

Pineapple weighs 870 grams more than orange. p = 870 + x

 

Substitute  p = 7x  into the second equation:

7x = 870 + x

Subtract  x from both sides

6x = 870

divide by 6

x = 145

 

The orange weighs 145 grams.

The pineapple weights 7 times the orange = 7(145) = 1015 grams.

The orange weighs 145 grams.

The pineapple weights 7 times the orange = 7(145) = 1015 grams.

Jadyn prepares a bag of candy before a road trip. The bag contains individual pieces of Skittles, M&Ms, Life Savers and Sour Patch Kids. Of the candy, 1/2 are Skittles, 1/4 of the remaining pieces are M&Ms and 3/4 of the rest are Life Savers. The remaining pieces are Sour Patch Kids. What percent of the total pieces of candy are Sour Patch Kids?

Answers

Given condition is- The bag contains individual pieces of Skittles, M&Ms, Life Savers and Sour Patch Kids.

Let the total number of candies in the bag be = x

Then, Skittles are [tex]\frac{1x}{2}[/tex]

Candies left = [tex]x-\frac{x}{2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{x}{2}[/tex]

M&Ms are = [tex]\frac{1x}{8}[/tex]

Now remaining candies are= [tex]\frac{3x}{8}[/tex]

Now Life savers are = [tex]\frac{9x}{32}[/tex]

Now adding all these 3 candies

[tex]\frac{x}{2}+ \frac{x}{8}+\frac{9x}{32}[/tex]

=[tex]\frac{29x}{32}[/tex]

Now the remaining candies sour patch will be =

[tex]x-\frac{29x}{32} =\frac{3x}{32}[/tex]

What is the Recipical of 8/19?

Answers

Hello there!First let's look at the information given by the question, and what it's asking as well.

The question states that we are looking for the reciprocal of 8/19.

Recall what a reciprocal is. A reciprocal, when looking at a number, is what is multiplied with it for it to equal 0. It is commonly regarded as just the fraction flipped. (For example, the reciprocal of 1/2 would be 2, or 2/1. 2 * 1/2 = 1)

But why does flipping a fraction work?

This goes back to the simplifying, when multiplying two fractions together.

If you were to multiply two fractions, say [tex]\frac{5}{4}[/tex] and [tex] \frac{4}{5}[/tex], you could look at the numerator of one and the denominator of another, and cancel them out. In this case, the numerator of one is 5, and the other is also 5. Cancelling those out makes both one. If you cancel out 4 and 4 too, you get 1/1 * 1/1, or just 1.

We could go on asking why these methods work forever. Why does cancelling out a numerator and a denominator of separate fractions work? (A simple explanation is when the separate fractions are multiplied together, you could divide both sides by the factor which was originally used to cancel out with, which is what was stated above but simpler.)

Now, we can figure out the answer.

Since we know the reciprocal is just the flipped form of the fraction, we can simply flip 8/19 to get our answer.

8/19 flipped is 19/8, which is our answer.

Example: 3/8 x 5/7 = 15/56

When you are multiplying whole fractions, you need to make them improper first before you multipy. Then you can multipy like normal.

Fifteen percent of an employee’s taxable income is collected each paycheck. Before taxes are removed from each paycheck, $350 of tax-exempt expenses is taken out. If the variable x represents the employee’s pay before tax-exempt expenses and taxes are removed, which expression represents the employee’s take-home pay after these deductions?

Answers

Answer:

0.85(x - 350)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here "x" represents the pay before tax.

Take exempted amount = 350.

The taxable amount = x - 350.

The tax rate = 15% = 15/100 = 0.15

Take home pay after the tax deduction = Taxable amount - tax

= (x - 350) - 0.15(x - 350)

Now we have to simplify this.

= (x - 350)(1 - 0.15)

= (x - 350)(0.85)

The employee’s take-home pay after these deductions= $0.85(x - 350).
