Write the phrase as an algebraic expression and simplify if possible. Let x represent the unknown number

Three times a number, decreased by five

(Simplify your answer.)

Answers

Answer 1
EZ,
3x-5
(3x) = 3 times a number.
Decrease means subtract.
Answer 2

To express the phrase "Three times a number, decreased by five" as an algebraic expression, we can use the variable x to represent the unknown number: 3x - 5

Now, let's simplify this expression: Given that the unknown number is represented by x, we can substitute it into the expression above. Substituting x into the expression, we have: [tex]3(x) - 5 3x - 5[/tex] Therefore, the algebraic expression representing "Three times a number, decreased by five" is [tex]3x - 5.[/tex] At this point, there is no further simplification possible since the expression is already in its simplest form.

For example, let's assume the unknown number x is 7. We can plug in this value to evaluate the expression: [tex]3(7) - 5 = 21 - 5 = 16[/tex] Similarly, if x is -2, the calculation would be: [tex]3(-2) - 5 = -6 - 5 = -11[/tex] In conclusion, the algebraic expression 3x - 5 represents the phrase "Three times a number, decreased by five."

Consider all four-digit numbers that can be made from the digits 0-8 (assume that numbers cannot start with 0). What is the probability of choosing a random number from this group that is less than or equal to 4000

Answers

Answer:

The probability is:

P = 0.375

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the total number of four-digit numbers that can be made with the digits 0-8, such that the first digit can not be zero.

To do this, we first need to find the number of selections that we have, in this case, there are 4, one for each digit in our 4-digit number.

Now let's count the number of options that we have for each one of these selections:

first digit: we have 8 options (because the 0 can not be here)

second digit: we have 9 options (because now the zero can be taken)

third digit: we have 9 options

fourth digit: we have 9 options.

The total number of combinations is equal to the product of all the numbers of options, this is:

C = 8*9*9*9 = 5,832

Now we need to find how many of these are less or equal than 4000.

So now let's count the options again:

first digit: 3 options {1, 2, 3}

second digit: 9 options

third digit: 9 option

fourth digit: 9 options

Total number of combinations:

C' = 3*9*9*9 = 2,187

Here we should also count the combination for the number 4000 itself, as it was not counted in our previous calculation, then we have:

C' = 2,187 + 1 = 2,188 combinations.

The probability of randomly choosing a number that is smaller than or equal to 4000 will be equal to the quotient between the number of combinations that are smaller than or equal to 4000 (2,188 combinations) and the total number of combinations (5,832)

this is:

P = 2,188/5,832 = 0.375

Ignore the A before the ±, it wouldn't let me type it correctly.

[tex]x=\frac{2±\sqrt{7} }{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4 = 1 ÷ x

3x + 4 - 4 = 1 ÷ x - 4

3x = 1 ÷ x - 4

[tex]3x=\frac{1}{x} +\frac{x(-4)}{x}[/tex]

[tex]3x=\frac{1+x(-4)}{x}[/tex]

[tex]3x=\frac{1-4x}{x}[/tex]

[tex]x(3x)=x(\frac{1-4x}{x})[/tex]

x · 3x = - 4x + 1

3x² = - 4x + 1

3x² - (- 4x + 1) = 0

3x² + 4x - 1 = 0

Ignore the A before the ±, it wouldn't let me type it correctly.

[tex]x=\frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}[/tex]

a = 3

b = 4

c = - 1

[tex]x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{4^{2}-4((3)(-1)) } }{2(3)}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{16-4((3)(-1)) } }{2(3)}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{16+12 } }{2(3)}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{28 } }{2(3)}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{(2)(14) } }{2(3)}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{(2)(2)(7) } }{2(3)}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4±\sqrt{2 } \sqrt{2}\sqrt{7} }{2(3)}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4±2\sqrt{7} }{2(3)}[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{-4±2\sqrt{7} }{6}[/tex]

Two separate equations

[tex]x=\frac{-4+2\sqrt{7} }{6}[/tex]

Write the equation of the circle with center C(-5,8) and radius = 7

Answers

Answer:

( h + 5 )^2 + ( y - 8 ) ^2 = 49

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of a circle:

( x - h )^2 + ( y - k )^2 = r^2

Where ( h , k ) = center and r = radius

We are given that the circle has a center at ( -5 , 8 ) meaning that h = -5 and k = 8

We are also given that the circle has a radius of 7 meaning that r = 7

Now that we have identified each variable we plug the values into the equation

( h - (-5)^2 + ( y - 8 )^2 = 7^2

Our final step is to simplify

we get that the equation of the circle is

( h + 5 )^2 + ( y - 8 ) ^2 = 49

By the way ^ means exponent

Answer:

  x = -7, 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation is written as a product equal to zero. The "zero product rule" tells us that a product is zero if and only if one or more factors are zero. Each factor will be zero when x takes on a value equal to the opposite of the constant in that factor.

  x -5 = 0   ⇒   x = 5

  x +7 = 0   ⇒   x = -7

The solutions to the equation are x = -7, 5.
