5 times a number, increased by 2
less than twice the number, is 40.
Find the number.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

21/5 or 4.2

Step-by-step explanation:

we need to repeat the steps backward.

"increased by 2 than less than twice the number"

we need to add 2 to 40 and divide by 2 . (40+2)/2 = 21. "5 times a number"

the previous result has to be divided by 5.

(21)/(5) = 21/5 =  4.2

Proof:

"5 times a number, increased by 2

less than twice the number, is 40."

2( 5( 21/5 ) ) - 2 =2( 21 ) - 2 = 42-2 = 40

The correct option is B.

What is Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements with two algebraic expressions flanking the equals (=) sign on either side.

It demonstrates the equality of the relationship between the expressions printed on the left and right sides. LHS = RHS is a common mathematical formula.

Coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and the equal to sign are some of the components of an equation. The "=" sign and terms on both sides must always be present when writing an equation.

We have an Equation as 3- 2x  = -5.

Now, solving the above equation for x

Subtract 3 from both side

3- 2x - 3 = -5 -3

-2x = -8

Now, divide both by (-2) we get

-2x/(-2) = -8/(-2)

x = 4

Thus, the value of x is 4.

Tickets at an amusement park are $25 for children and $45 for adults, the Jones family has 4200 cash
and they have two children, what is the maximum amount of adult tickets they can purchase?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

$4200 - $50

= $4150

4150 divided by 45 = 92.222.......

92.222 is approximately 93

So you can purchase 92/93 tickets in total

Since tickets are physical things, I dont think you can approximate it but that's my answer

The maximum amount of adult tickets they can purchase are 92.

What is Equation Modelling?

Equation modelling is the process of writing a mathematical verbal expression in the form of a mathematical expression for correct analysis, observations and results of the given problem.

Given are tickets at an amusement park that are $25 for children and $45 for adults. The Jones family has 4200 cash and they have two children.

Assume that they could purchase [n] number of adult tickets.

Cash remaining for adult tickets = 4200 - 2(25)

The total number of adult tickets that can be buyed are calculated as follows -

45n = 4200 - 2(25)

45n = 4200 - 50

45n = 4150

n = 4150/45

n = 92 (exact value)

Therefore, the maximum amount of adult tickets they can purchase are 92.

Enter an expression in the box to write a quadratic function given the vertex (7,-4) and the point (5, 8).

Answers

Answer:

              f(x) = 3(x - 7)²  - 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertex form of an equation of the parabola:  

                                                       f(x) = a(x - h)² + k

the vertex is (7, -4)  ⇒   h = 7,  k = -4

so:

     f(x) = a(x - 7)² + (-4)

    f(x) = a(x - 7)² - 4

The parabola goes through the point (5, 8) ⇒   x=5,  f(x)=8

8 = a(5 - 7)²  - 4

8 = a(-2)²  - 4

+4           +4

12  = 4a

÷4       ÷4

a = 3

It means the equation of the parabola in vertex form:

                               f(x) = 3(x - 7)² - 4

You measure a tree's shadow and find that it is x = 13 meters long. Then you measure the shadow of a nearby two-meter lamppost and find that it is 75 centimeters long. (See figure.) How tall is the tree? (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

Answers

Answer:34.7

Step-by-step explanation:

h/ 13 = 2/0.75

h= 2 • 13 / 0.75

34.7 m (rounded)

Tree is 34.7m tall.

What is similar triangle?

In similar triangle, shape is same but size is varing. So the ratio of corresponding sides are also equal.

So according to asked question,

Let height of the tree =h

The triangle formed by the tree and its shadow is similar with the triangle formd by the the trangle formed by the lamppost and its shadow.

So, according to the propoties of the similar triangle

a₁/a₂=b₁/b₂

h/x=2m/75cm

⇒h/13=2/(3/4)

⇒h/13=2*4/3=8/3

⇒h=8*13/3=34.666≅34.7m

Therefore tree is 34.7m tall.

Answers

Answer:

y = 1/2x + 2.5 and y = -1/5x + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - 4y = 10 (subtract 2x on each side)

-4y = -2x + 10 ( divide by - 4 on both sides)

y = 1/2x + 2.5

x + 5y = 40 (subtract x on both sides)

5y = -x + 40 (divide by 5 on both sides)

y = -1/5x + 8

What is 1 2/3m + 2 = 2 1/6? Solve for m and show your work please

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1+2/3m+2=2+1/6

We move all terms to the left:

1+2/3m+2-(2+1/6)=0

Domain of the equation: 3m!=0

m!=0/3

m!=0

m∈R

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2/3m+1+2-(1/6+2)=0

We add all the numbers together, and all the variables

2/3m+3-(1/6+2)=0

We get rid of parentheses

2/3m+3-2-1/6=0

We calculate fractions

There is no solution for this equation

   

   

Answer: m = 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

1 2/3m + 2 = 2 1/6

Firstly, subtract 2 from both sides to get m alone:

1 2/3m = 1/6

Now, to get m alone, divide both sides by 1 2/3:

m = 1/10

Step-by-step explanation:

A truck can be rented from company A for $120 a day plus $0.50 per mile. Company b chargers $80 a day plus $0.70 per mile to rent the same truck. Part A write a equation. To find the number of miles in a day at which the rental costs for company A and company B are the same Part b solve the equation

Answers

Answer:

Part A: [tex].50x+120 = .70x+80[/tex]

Part B: [tex]200[/tex] miles

Step-by-step explanation:

So to start, we need to put this information into slope-intercept form. Slope intercept form is [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]  where [tex]m[/tex] represents the slope of a line and [tex]b[/tex] represents the y-intercept. In this question [tex]y[/tex] represents the total cost of the rental, [tex]x[/tex] represents the number of miles driven, [tex]m[/tex] represents the price per mile, and [tex]b[/tex] represents the base price of the rental. Now that we know the variables, we need to plug in the information we have.

Since we know that company A charges $125 a day and $0.50 per mile we would have [tex]y=.50x+120[/tex]

Since we know that company B charges $80 a day and $0.70 per mile we would have [tex]y=.70x+80[/tex]

Now that we have two equations we can move onto the next step. We're looking to know the number of miles ([tex]x[/tex]) that would make the total cost ([tex]y[/tex]) equal. To do this we can make the equations equal each other since we know that [tex]y[/tex] will be the same.

Written out, the equation will look like this: [tex].50x+120 = .70x+80[/tex]

Now, we are trying to find [tex]x[/tex] so we need to isolate the variable.

To start we need to put [tex]x[/tex] on the same side so we'll subtract [tex].70x[/tex] from both sides to get  [tex]-.20x+120=80[/tex]

Next, we'll subtract [tex]120[/tex] from both sides of the equation to get [tex]-.20x=-40[/tex]

Finally, we'll divide both sides by [tex]-.20[/tex] to get [tex]x=200[/tex]

This means that at [tex]200[/tex] miles, both companies will cost the same amount.
