Madison is thinking of a number. Sixty, decreased by four times the number, is the same as eight
times the number, increased by seventy-two. What is Madison's number?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the mystery number be x

Equation:

60 - 4x = 8x + 72

Subtract 60 from both sides

-4x = 8x + 12

Subtract 8x from both sides

-12x = 12

x = -1

Answer 2

Answer:

"The sum of two numbers is 17" <- that's our first equation. Sum means we're going to add. "two numbers" - well, we don't know what they are, so we can use x and y. (Note: x and y are just placeholders. You can use ANY placeholder as long as you keep it consistent with the second equations. x and y just mean "some number". We're going to work to find those numbers)

So for our first equation, we have two numbers being added together. So we can just write that as:

x+ y = 17

For the second equation:

"Three times one number increased by 5 is the same as twice the other number decreased by 4"

We have to work to process what is being asked. “Three times one number increased by 5”. So we know we are multiplying 3 to one of our numbers and increasing it (adding it) by 5.

So this part can be written as 3x+5

“Is the same as” just means “equal to” 

“Twice the other number decreased by 4”. So twice, means two times and “decreased by four” just tells us to subtract four.  So this part can be written as:

2y-4

Now we need to put this second equation together.

3x+5=2y-4.

So now we have our two equations:

x+y = 17

3x+5 = 2y-4

We have a few ways of solving this. We can use substitution, elimination, or graphing. I’m going to use substitution for this one.

So for substitution, we need to take one of two equations and solve for a single variable. So I’m going to take our first equation and solve for y.

x+y=17

-x.   -x

y= -x+17

Now I’m going to put “-x+17” in for the “y” in the second equations.

3x+5=2y-4

3x+5 = 2 (-x+17) - 4.  (Now distribute)

3x+5 = -2x + 34 - 4. (Now simplify)

3x+5 = - 2x + 30. (Now we need to get the x to one side)

+2x +2x

5x+5=30

 -5.  -5

5x = 25

X = 5

Now we can take the first equation and put 5 in for x to solve for y

x+y = 17

5 + y = 17

-5    -5

y= -12

So our x is 5 and our y is 12.

what is the probability notation for the probability for choosing a green marble?

Answers

The probability notation for the probability for choosing a green marble is [tex]P(G)=\frac{n(G)}{n(T)}[/tex], where [tex]n(G)[/tex] denotes the number of green marbles and [tex]n(T)[/tex] denotes the number of total marbles in the bag (or from wherever we are choosing).

The probability of occurrence of an event is the ratio of the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of outcomes, where the favorable outcomes are the outcomes that implies the occurrence of the event.

Here, the event is "choosing a green marble". So, the number of green marbles in the bag is the number of favorable outcomes and the total number of marbles in the bag is the total number of outcomes.

Denoting [tex]G[/tex] as the event of "choosing a green marble", the notation [tex]P(G)[/tex] denotes the probability of event [tex]G[/tex], that is, probability of choosing a green marble.

Denoting [tex]n(G)[/tex] and [tex]n(T)[/tex] as the number of green marbles and total number of marbles respectively, by the definition, the probability notation for the probability for choosing a green marble is given as [tex]P(G)=\frac{n(G)}{n(T)}[/tex].

write a function g whose graph represents a horizontal shrink by a factor of 1/2 of the graph f(x)= |2x| +4

Answers

The function g is:

[tex]g(x) = |4x| + 4[/tex]

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

Horizontally shrinking a function f(x) by a factor of [tex]\frac{1}{a}[/tex] is equivalent to finding f(ax).

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

In this question, the function is:

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

Horizontally shrinking by a factor of [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] means that [tex]a = 2[/tex], so:

[tex]g(x) = f(ax) = f(2x) = |2(2x)| + 4 = |4x| + 4[/tex]

Thus, the function g is:

Numbers can be estimated by approximating them. So, we need to approximate [tex]\sqrt{71}[/tex] to the nearest integer to get its estimate of the radius in the nearest foot.

The radius to the nearest foot is 8ft

Given that

[tex]r = \sqrt{71}[/tex]

To calculate the radius, we simply determine the square root of 71

[tex]r = 8.42614977318[/tex]

3 and 5 are complimentary angles, 3+5 = 180 degrees, => 1 ≈ 5.

7 and 8 are complimentary angles, 7+8 = 180 degrees, => (given that 1 ≈ 7 and therefore ≈ 4) 8 ≈ 2 ≈ 3

Elliot is 2 times as old as Tanya. 10 years ago, Elliot was 4 times as old as Tanya​. How old is Elliot now?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this, we are going to make an age table:

                       Age Now                 Age 10 years ago

Tanya

Elliot

Filling the in the Age Now column comes from the first sentence. If Elliot is 2 times Tanya's age and we don't know Tanya's age, then Tanya's age is x and Elliot's age is 2x:

            Age Now                Age 10 years ago

Tanya         x

Elliot         2x

Filling in the Age 10 years ago column simply requires that we take their ages in the Age Now column and subtract 10 from each age:

         Age Now                Age 10 years ago

Tanya     x                              x - 10

Elliot      2x                           2x - 10

Since the question is How old is Elliot now based on the fact that 10 years ago....blah, blah, blah, we are using the ages in the 10 years ago column to write our equation. It says:

10 years ago, Elliot was 4 times as old as Tanya. Translated into mathspeak:

2x - 10 = 4(x - 10) and

2x - 10 = 4x - 40 and

-2x = -30 so

x = 15. That means that Elliot is 30 and Tanya is 15

find the vertex of this parabola y=-2x ^2-4x-5

Answers

Answer:

(1, -13)

Brainliest, please!

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the x coordinate of the vertex, we use the formula, -b / 2a. In this problem, a = 2, and b = -4. c is -5, but we don't need to know it.

- -4 / 2(2) = 4 / 4 = 1

Vertex = (1, y)

Next, we plug 1 back into the parabola equation for x to solve for y.

y = -2(1)^2 - 4(1) -5

y = -2^2 - 4 - 5

y = -4 - 4 - 5

y = -8 - 5

y = - 13

Vertex = (1, -13)

Which of the following is equivalent to 0.00451?
A. 4.51x10^-3
B. 45.1x10^-3
C. 0.451x10^-3
D. 4.51x10^-2

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

0.00451

[tex] = \frac{451}{100000} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{4.51}{1000} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{4.51}{ {10}^{3} } [/tex]

[tex] = 4.51 \times {10}^{ - 3} (option \: a)(ans)[/tex]

The required scientific notation  is A. 4.51x10⁻³  is equivalent to 0.00451. It's in scientific notation where 4.51 is between 1 and 10, and -3 is the exponent representing the decimal shift.

In scientific notation, a number is written in the form of "a × 10ⁿ" where "a" is a number between 1 and 10 (including 1 but excluding 10), and "n" is an integer exponent.

The goal is to represent the number in a more compact form using powers of 10.

0.00451

To express this in scientific notation, we need to find "a" and "n" such that "a × 10ⁿ" equals 0.00451.

The option A, 4.51 × 10⁻³ is the correct choice because:

"a" is 4.51, which is between 1 and 10.

"n" is -3, as we are shifting the decimal point three places to the left to convert 0.00451 to 4.51 × 10⁻³.

Therefore, 0.00451 is equivalent to  scientific notation option A. 4.51 × 10⁻³, which is option A.
