Two less than the sum of a number and six is equal to the product of
the number and three. What is the number?

Answers

Answer 1

Let's use the variable, x, to represent the unknown number.

We can represent the words, "the sum of a number and six, as : x + 6

The words, " 2 less than the sum", can be represented as: x + 6 - 2

The words, "the product of the number and three", can be written as: 3x

Now create an equation using "is equal to" to join the expressions:

x + 6 -2 = 3x

Now combine like terms and use inverse operations to solve for x:

x + 6 -2 = 3x

x + 4 = 3x

x + 4 - x = 3x - x

4 = 2x

4/2 = 2x/2

2 = x

The unknown number is 2

A rectangle has a length that is three times the width . The perimeter of the rectangle is 40 feet.what is the area of the rectangle

Answers

Answer:

The area is 15 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

So you are going to need two different equations-

l = w(3)

2l + 2w = 40

Insert the first equation into the second-

2(3w) + 2w = 40

Simplify this equation-

6w + 2w = 40

8w = 40

Divide both sides by 5

w = 5

Solve first equation

l = 5(3)

l = 15

Then find the area-

5 x 15 = 75

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (7,-8) and (2, -8).
Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal
line.

Answers

Answer:

The equation of the line that passes through the points (7,-8) and (2, -8) is [tex]\mathbf{y=-8}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to write the equation of the line that passes through the points (7,-8) and (2, -8).

We need to write answer in fully reduced point-slope form, unless it is a vertical or horizontal  line.

The general equation of point-slope form is: [tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

where m is slope of the line.

To find the slope, we can use formula: [tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

We have [tex]x_1=7,y_1=-8,x_2=2, y_2=-8[/tex]

Putting values and finding slope:

[tex]Slope=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}\\Slope=\frac{-8-(-8)}{2-7}\\Slope=\frac{-8+8}{-5}\\Slope=\frac{0}{-5}\\Slope=0[/tex]

So, we find the slope : m = 0

Now, using the point (7,-8) and slope m =0, the required equation is:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\y-(-8)=0(x-7)\\y+8=0\\y=-8[/tex]

So, the equation of the line that passes through the points (7,-8) and (2, -8) is [tex]\mathbf{y=-8}[/tex]

A pizza shop sells three sizes of pizza, and they track how often each size gets ordered along with how much they profit from each size. Let X represent the shop's profit on a randomly selected pizza. Here's the probability distribution of XXX along with summary statistics:

Small Medium Large
X= Profit($) 4 8 12
P(X) 0.18 0.50 0.32
Mean μx= $8.56
Standard Deviation σx ≈ 2.77

The company is going to run a promotion where customers get $2 off any size pizza. Assume that the promotion will not change the probability that corresponds to each size. Let Y represent their profit on a randomly selected pizza with this promotion. What are the mean and standard deviation of Y?

Answers

Answer:

μy = $6.56 ; σy = 2.77

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the data :

Mean μx= $8.56

Standard Deviation σx ≈ 2.77

Profit, Y on pizza with current promo :

Price off on pizza = $2

Y = x - 2

μx = E(x) = $8.56

μy = μ(x - 2)

μy = μx - $2

μy = $8.56 - $2

μy = $6.56

For the standard deviation of y

σx ≈ 2.77

σy = σ(x - 2)

σy = σx - 2

Constants are treated as 0 for standard deviation

σy = 2.77

Daniel's age is 15% of
Sarah's. Luke's age is 75% of
Sarah's and 300% of Daniel's.
When they added their ages,
the total was 141. How old is
Rachel?

Answers

Answer:

27 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

Full question isDaniel's age is 15% of Sara's. Luke's age is 75% of Sara's and Rachel's is 300% of Daniel's. When they added their ages, the total was 141. How old is Rachel? Solution

Daniel = d, Sara = s, Luke = l, Rachel = r

We get below relations:

d = 0.15sl = 0.75sr = 3d ⇒ r = 3*0.15s  ⇒ r = 0.45s

Sum of ages:

d + s + l + r = 141

Substitute and solve for s:

0.15s + s + 0.75s + 0.45s = 1412.35s = 141s = 141/2.35s = 60

Rachel's age is:

r = 0.45*60 = 27

Ms. Tompkins had an amount of money in the bank. After she deposited $100, she had at least $550 in the bank. how much money did Ms. Tompkins have in the bank originally?

i need explanation pls , ty

Answers

Answer:

at least $450

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount she has in bank before depositing be x

If she had at least $550 in the bank after depositing, then;

x + 100 ≥ 550

Get the initial amount in bank

x ≥ 550 - 100

x ≥ 450

Hence the amount she has in the bank originally was at least $450
