five more than one-third of a number is -2. Find the number

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -21

Step-by-step explanation:

Words To Algebra:

Words : Five more than one-third of a number = -2

Algebraic Equation: 5 + (1/3)x = -2

Isolate x:

5 + (1/3)x = -2      [tex]\longmapsto\\[/tex]    Subtract 5 from both sides

5 + (1/3)x - 5 = -2 - 5

(1/3)x = -7     [tex]\longmapsto\\[/tex]     Multiply All sides by 3

(1/3)x * 3 = -7 * 3

x = -21

Check:

5 + (1/3)-21 = -2

5 + -7 = -2

-2 = -2

Answers

Answer:

7+5=12

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the mass number of an atom, you have to add the protons and the neutrons. We have 7 neutrons and 5 protons, so your mass number would be 12. Let me know if you have any further questions. :)

A Carpenter wants to build a elliptical table top from a 4 foot to by 6 foot sheet of plywood. she traces out the ellipse using a string attached to thumbtacks located at the foci of the ellipse.

Answers

The thumbstacks have an in-between distance of [tex]2\sqrt{5}[/tex] feet.

The distance between any focus and the center of the ellipse ([tex]c[/tex]), in feet, is described by the following expression:

[tex]c = \sqrt{a^{2}-b^{2}}[/tex] (1)

Where:

[tex]a[/tex] - Major semiaxis length, in feet.[tex]b[/tex] - Minor semiaxis length, in feet.

If we know that [tex]a = 3\ft[/tex] and [tex]b = 2\,ft[/tex], then the distance between focus and center is:

[tex]c = \sqrt{3^{2}-2^{2}}[/tex]

[tex]c = \sqrt{5}[/tex]

The distance between the thumbstacks is described by this expression:

[tex]d = 2\cdot c[/tex]

[tex]d = 2\sqrt{5}\,ft[/tex]

The thumbstacks have an in-between distance of [tex]2\sqrt{5}[/tex] feet.

s(4) = 3(4) - 8 = 12 - 8 = 4

Last semester, Zachary earned an average score of 80 points on math tests. So far this semester, his average score is 15% lower. What is the average of Zachary's scores this semester?

Answers

Answer:

The answer would be 12

Step-by-step explanation:

15/100 =  X/80

To solve the equation above for X, you first switch the sides to get the X on the left side, then you multiply each side by 80, and then finally divide the numerator by the denominator on the right side to get the answer.

The equation

15/100 = X/80

X/80 = 15/100

X*80/80 = 15*80/100

X = 1200/100

X = 12

Class 10R sat a test.
The mean mark for the class was 70%.

There are 30 students in class 10R, 20 of whom are boys.
The mean mark for the boys in the test was 62%.

Work out the mean mark for the girls.

Answers

Answer:

86%

Step-by-step explanation:

30 students in the class with a mean average of 70% can be expressed as:

total class percent / 30 = 70%

Rearranged, this gives that the class achieved a total of 30x70 or 2100%.

20 boys in the class with a mean average of 62% can be expressed as:

total boys percent / 20 = 62%

Rearranged, this gives that the boys achieved a total of 20x62 or 1240%.

This means that the girls achieved 2100 - 1240 so 860%.

Because there are 30 students and 20 boys, there are 10 girls.

Then work out the mean with a total of 860% and 10 girls.

860/10 = 86%.

Y=2x^2 - 2x - 5

Answers

Answer:

y = 2(x - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )² - [tex]\frac{11}{2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 2x² - 2x - 5 ← factor out 2 from the first 2 terms

 = 2(x² - x) - 5

Using the method of completing the square

add/subtract (half the coefficient of the x- term)² to x² - x

y = 2(x² + 2(- [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] ) x + [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ) - 5

  = 2(x - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )² + 2(- [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ) - 5

  = 2(x - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] )² - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] - 5

y = 7/4x

y = 4/7x


y = 4/1x


y = 1/4x

Answers

Answer:  y= (7/4)x

Step-by-step explanation:

Build a table of representative values and then calculate the slope between any 2 of the points.   I'll pick (2,3.5) and  (8,14)    [See attachment. ]

The slope is the Rise/Run:

Rise = (14 - 3.5) = 10.5

Run = (8-2) = 6

Slope = Rise/Run:  (10.5/6) = 1.75

The equation should read y = 1.75x.  

None of the options works, as written, but note that 7/4 looks close to 1.75.  In fact, 7/4 = 1.75.

Use the equation y = 1.75x and enter several values of x (the ounces purchased) and y (the total cost of the purchase).  The attachment summarizes the results (Predicted), along with the actual values (Actual) taken from the graph.  Excellent correlation, considering the difficulty in making precise graph readings.

Therefore y = (7/4)x

245, 250, 251, 253, 258, 264, 267, 269, 273, 276



Key:24|5 means 245.

Answers

Answer:  The filled out diagram is shown below

=========================================================

Explanation:

The key tells us how to set up the stem and leaf diagram. It says that [tex]24|5[/tex] represents the value 245.

This means that "24" is one of the stems. In fact, it's the smallest stem possible since there's nothing smaller than 240 on this given list of values.

The only leaf associated with this stem is 5. The stem 24 and the leaf 5 combine to form the number 245 as the key indicates.

--------------------------

In the next row is the stem 25. For this stem, we'll have the leaves of: 0, 1, 3, 8. The stem 25 and those leaves mentioned combine to form 250, 251, 253, 258 in that exact order. This time we'll use up four boxes for this row. The last box in this row is blank.

The remaining rows (stems 26 and 27) are handled in pretty much the same fashion. Let me know if you have questions how the boxes are filled in. It helps to start with sorted data from smallest to largest. Luckily, that's already been done for us.

The filled out chart is shown below. I replaced the stems 0,1,2,3 with 24,25,26,27.
