When something says twice a number it’s always going to be multiplied by 2 and “a number will always be a variable
Answer 2

Answer:

  2(x -2) = 5

Step-by-step explanation:

If x represents the number, then the difference of the number and 2 is ...

  x -2

Twice the difference is ...

  2(x -2)

"equals 5" means that product is equal to 5. The appropriate equation is ...

  2(x -2) = 5

_____

In case you want a solution ...

Dividing by 2, we get ...

  x -2 = 5/2

Adding 2 gives the value of the number:

  x = 2 +5/2 = 9/2

  x = 4 1/2

The number is 4 1/2.

Answers

Answer:

if one base is 9.5 cm and the other is 13.5 cm. The height is 5 cm.

the answer is 57.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Max rewrote the function f(x) = 4x² + 16x + 8 in vertex form by completing the square.

He concluded that the vertex is (-2, 4), which was incorrect. Consider Max's work, listed below.

In which step did Max make a mistake?

Step 1: f(x) = 4x² + 16x + 8

Step 2: f(x) = 4(x² + 4x) +8

Step 3: f(x) = 4(x² + 4x + 4) +8-4

Step 4: f(x) = 4(x + 2)² +4

Answers

The quadratic function f(x) = 4x² + 16x + 8 can be expressed in vertex form

Max's error is in step 3

How to determine the error in the function?

The function is given as:

[tex]f(x) = 4x^2 + 16x + 8[/tex]

Factor out 4

[tex]f(x) = 4(x^2 + 4x) + 8[/tex]

Take the coefficient of x

[tex]k = 4[/tex]

Divide by 2

[tex]k/2 = 2[/tex]

Square both sides

[tex](k/2)^2 = 4[/tex]

Add and subtract 4 to the bracket

[tex]f(x) = 4(x^2 + 4x + 4 - 4) + 8[/tex]

Expand

[tex]f(x) = 4(x^2 + 4x + 4) + 8 - 16[/tex]

By comparing the above equation to step 3 of Max solution, we can determine that Max's error is in step 3

Answer:

[tex]x=5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

[tex]34\cdot 3^{x-2}-2\cdot 3^{x-3}=0.8\cdot 10^{x-2}+10^{x-3}[/tex]

Let's simplify this a bit. Let [tex]u=x-2[/tex]. Then [tex]u-1=x-3[/tex]. We can substitute the exponents:

[tex]34\cdot3^u-2\cdot 3^{u-1}=0.8\cdot 10^u+10^{u-1}[/tex]

Use the properties of exponents, we can write [tex]3^{u-1}=\frac{3^u}{3}[/tex]. We can do the same thing on the right. So:

[tex]34\cdot3^u-2\cdot \frac{3^u}{3}=0.8\cdot 10^u+\frac{10^u}{10}[/tex]

We can now factor out a [tex]3^u[/tex] from the left and a [tex]10^u[/tex] on the right. This yields:

[tex]3^u(34-2\cdot\frac{1}{3})=10^u(0.8+ \frac{1}{10})[/tex]

Evaluate the expressions within the parentheses:

[tex]3^u(34-\frac{2}{3})=10^u(\frac{9}{10})[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]3^u(\frac{100}{3})=10^u(\frac{9}{10})[/tex]

Now, let's multiply both sides by [tex]\frac{3}{100}[/tex]. So:

[tex]3^u=10^u(\frac{9}{10})(\frac{3}{100})[/tex]

Also, let's divide both sides by [tex]10^u[/tex]. Multiply on the right:

[tex]\frac{3^u}{10^u}=\frac{27}{1000}[/tex]

Therefore:

[tex]3^u=27\text{ and } 10^u=1000[/tex]

We can now substitute back u. Notice that 27 is the same as 3 cubed and 1000 is the same as 10 cubed. So:

[tex]3^{x-2}=3^3\text{ and } 10^{x-2}=10^3[/tex]

Since they have the same base, their exponents must be equal. Therefore:

[tex]x-2=3[/tex]

Add 2 to both sides:

[tex]x=5[/tex]

So, the value of x is 5.

And we're done!

If Diego started the race at 11:38 am and finished in 90 minutes, then the time he will finish the race is 12:58 pm, the correct option is D.

What is an Equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement formed when two algebraic expressions are equated using an equal sign.

The equations are useful in determination of unknown parameters.

The equations are of various types, such as Trigonometric equations, quadratic equations.

Diego ran a race in 80 minutes, the race started at 11:38 a.m.

The time Diego ran a race in is 80 minutes.

The time he started at 11:38 am

Let he finish the race at x hours.

The equation can be written as,

x = 11:38 + 80 minutes

60 min = 1 hour

80 minutes = 1 hour 20 minutes

x = 11: 38 + 1 :20

x = 12: 58 pm

6. The perimeter of a rectangle is 48 feet, and the length is 16 feet. What is the area?

Answers

Answer: 256 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter is calculated by:

P = 2l + 2w

48 = 2(16) + 2w

48 - 32 = 2w

w = 16 feet

So the area is 16 x 16 = 256 ft²

The X Hotel has an occupancy rate of 97% during busy season and 62% during the rest of the year. It makes $80 (revenue - variable costs) per room per night. Busy season accounts for 30% of the year. After covering it's $4M in annual fixed costs, the total profit for the Pinkerton Hotel was $4,468,000. How many rooms are in the X Hotel? 400 O 650 150 200​

Answers

Using proportions, it is found that there are 200 rooms in hotel X.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount.

The X Hotel has an occupancy rate of 97% during busy season(30% of the year) and 62% during the rest of the year(70%), hence the mean occupancy rate is of:

R = 0.3 x 97% + 0.62 x 70% = 72.5%.

The total profit for the Pinkerton Hotel was $4,468,000, hence considering that it makes $80 per room per night, in a 365-day year:

80N x 0.725 x 365 = 4,468,000

N = 4,468,000/(80 x 0.725 x 365)

N = 211.

Which is closest to 200, hence, there are 200 rooms in hotel X.

At a birthday party, 5 boys and 3 girls are seated in a row. How many different arrangements are possible if there are no boys between any two girls?

Answers

Answer:

Basic Concept:

Since there are no boys between 2 girls, we will take the 3 girls as 1 single unit and permute the seats

We have 6 slots (5 for boys and 1 for all 3 girls)

We have 6 slots and 6 people to sit on them (taking the 3 girls as one)

Permutations:

So, the total number of seating arrangements is 6P6

which will be equal to 6 factorial (6P6 = [tex]\frac{n!}{n! - r!}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6!}{6! - 6!}[/tex] = 6! (since 0! = 1))

Total possible seating arrangements  = 6!

Total possible seating arrangements = 720

Answers

Answer:

Answer 6.55 or 6 hours and 55 minutes

The speed of Your friend will be 6.55 miles per hour.

What is speed?

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

Speed = Distance/Time

A marathon is approximately 26.2 miles. Your friend says that if you continue to run at this speed, you will not be able to complete a marathon in less than 4 hours.

The speed of Your friend will be

S = 26.2 / 4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following question:

50% of 340

To find the answer we must first find 50% of 340 by using the formula to calculate percentages, and then subtract that answer from the original price to have our markdown.

[tex]\frac{p\times n}{100}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{50\times340}{100}[/tex]
[tex]50\times340=17000[/tex]

Now subtract from original price:
[tex]340[/tex]
[tex]340-170=170[/tex]
[tex]=170[/tex]

The new price after a 50% markdown is "$170."
