x = number of 1-cent stamps
y = number of 8-cent stamps
z = number of 12-cent stamps
We have 31 stamps all together, so x+y+z = 31.
"I have 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps" means we have the equation x = y+8. Whatever y is, add 8 to it to get x. Solve for y to get y = x-8.
You also have "twice as many one cent stamps as 12 cent stamps", so x = 2z. Solving for z gets you z = 0.5x
-------------
x+y+z = 31
x+x-8+z = 31 ... y replaced with x-8
x+x-8+0.5x = 31 ... plug in z = 0.5x
2.5x-8 = 31
2.5x = 31+8
2.5x = 39
x = 39/2.5
x = 15.6
Your teacher made a typo somewhere because we should get a positive whole number result for x (since x is a count of how many 1-cent stamps we have).
The number of one-cent stamps is 14.
Total stamps = 31
We have three types of stamps: 1-cent stamps, 8-cent stamps, and 12-cent stamps.
The person has 4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps.
The person has twice as many 1-cent stamps as 12-cent stamps.
We have to make equations with the given above statement.
Consider,
1-cent stamp = A
8-cent stamp = B
12-cent stamp = C
4 more 1-cent stamps than 8-cent stamps: A = 4 + B.
A = 4 + B
B = A - 4..........(1)
Twice as many 1-cent stamps as 12-cent stamps: A = 2C.
A = 2C
C = A/2...............(2)
Total number of stamps = 31
A + B + C = 31................(3)
Putting (1) and (2) in (3)
we get,
A + ( A - 4 ) + A / 2 = 31
A + A - 4 + A / 2 = 31
2A - 4 + A / 2 = 31
2A + A / 2 = 31 + 4
(4A + A) / 2 = 35
4A + A = 35 x 2
5A = 70
A = 70 / 5
A = 14
Thus the number of 1-cent stamps is 14.

micah drove 4 1/4 miles on Monday and 2 2/3 miles on Tuesday. On Wednesday, he drove 1 1/3 fewer miles than he had driven on Monday. How many miles did they drive in total
Answer:
9.5
Step-by-step explanation:
Monday: [tex]4\frac{1}{4}[/tex]
Tuesday: [tex]2\frac{2}{3}[/tex]
Wednesday: [tex]4\frac{1}{4} - 1\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Answer:
[tex](-\infty,1/4)\cup(1/4,\infty)[/tex]
The answer is C.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the rational function:
[tex]\displaystyle f(x) = \frac{x-3}{4x-1}[/tex]
In rational functions, the domain is always all real numbers except for the values when the denominator equals zero. In other words, we need to find the zeros of the denominator:
[tex]\displaystyle \begin{aligned}4x -1 & = 0 \\ \\ 4x & = 1 \\ \\ x & = \frac{1}{4} \end{aligned}[/tex]
Therefore, the domain is all real number except for x = 1/4.
In interval notation, this is:
[tex](-\infty,1/4)\cup(1/4,\infty)[/tex]
The left interval represents all the values to the left of 1/4.The right interval represents all the values to the right of 1/4. The union symbol is needed to combine the two. Note that we use parentheses instead of brackets because we do not include the 1/4 nor the infinities.
In conclusion, our answer is C.

Question Help M Message instructor
Answer:
a)2/7
b)1/2
c)9/14
d)6/7
Step-by-step explanation:
The jar contains 4 red marbles, numbered 1 to 4 which means
Red marbles = (R1) , (R2) , (R3) , (R4)
It also contains 10 blue marbles numbered 1 to 10 which means
Blue marbles = (B1) , (B2) , (B3) , (B4) , (B5) , (B6) , (B7) , (B8) , (B9) , (B10) .
We can calculate total marbles = 4red +10 blues
=14marbled
Therefore, total marbles= 14
The marbles that has even number = (R2) , (R4) ,(B2) , (B4) , (B6) , (B8) , (B10) =7
Total number of Blue marbles = 10
Blue and even marbles = 5
(a) The marble is red
P(The marble is red)=total number of red marbles/Total number of marbles
=4/14
=2/7
(b) The marble is odd-numbered
Blue marbles with odd number= (B1) , (B3) , (B5) , (B7) , (B9) ,
Red marbles with odd number = (R1) , (R3)
Number of odd numbered =(5+2)=7
P(marble is odd-numbered )= Number of odd numbered/ Total number of marbles
P(marble is odd-numbered )=7/14
=1/2
(C) The marble is red or odd-numbered?
Total number of red marbles = 14
Number of red and odd marbles = 2
The marbles that has odd number = (R1) , (R3) ,(B1) , (B3) , (B5) , (B7) , (B9) =7
n(red or even )= n(red) + n(odd)- n(red and odd)
=4+7-2
=9
P(red or odd numbered)= (number of red or odd)/(total number of the marble)
= 9/14
(d) The marble is blue or even-numbered?
Number of Blue and even marbles = 5
Total number of Blue marbles = 10
Number of blue that are even= 5
The marbles that has even number = (R2) , (R4) ,(B2) , (B4) , (B6) , (B8) , (B10)
=7
n(Blue or even )= n(Blue) + n(even)- n(Blue and even)
= 10+7-5 =12
Now , the probability the marble is blue or even numbered can be calculated as
P(blue or even numbered)= (number of Blue or even)/(total number of the marble)
= 12/14

write a thirdthird-degree polynomial expression that has only two terms with a leading term that has a coefficient of five and a constant of negative two
Answer:
5x^3-2
[tex]ax^{3} +bx^{2} +cx+d\\5x^{3}-given\\ d=-2-given\\5x^{3} -2[/tex]
Explanation:
The two terms are [tex]5x^3[/tex] and [tex]2[/tex]. Terms are separated by either a plus or minus.
We can write it as [tex]5x^3+(-2)[/tex] which is an equivalent form. Here the two terms are [tex]5x^3[/tex] and [tex]-2[/tex]. This is because adding a negative is the same as subtracting.
The coefficient is the number to the left of the variable.
The degree is the largest exponent, which helps form the leading term.
The third degree polynomial written above is considered a cubic binomial. "Cubic" refers to the third degree, while "binomial" means there are 2 terms.
We can write something like [tex]5x^3[/tex] as 5x^3 when it comes to computer settings.

3+7+11+... (4n-1) = n(2n+1)
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello, we want to prove that a proposition depending on n, that we can note P(n), is true for any n positive integer greater than 1. We need to follow several steps.
Step 1 - prove P(1)
For n = 1, n(2n+1)=1*3 =3 so we have
3 = 3, which is obviously true.
First step done!
Step 2 - for [tex]k\geq 1[/tex] we assume P(k) and we need to prove P(k+1)
We assume that 3+7+11+...+(4k-1)=k(2k+1)
so we can write that
3+7+11+...+(4k-1)+(4(k+1)-1)=k(2k+1)+(4k+4-1)=k(2k+1)+4k+3
[tex]=2k^2+k+4k+3\\\\=2k^2+5k+3[/tex]
and
(k+1)(2(k+1)+1)=(k+1)(2k+3)
[tex]=k(2k+3)+2k+3\\\\=2k^2+3k+2k+3\\\\=2k^3+5k+3[/tex]
These two expressions are the same so it means that P(k+1) is true, meaning that
3+7+11+...+(4k-1)+(4(k+1)-1)=(k+1)(2(k+1)+1)
Step 3 - The conclusion
Finally, we have just proved that
3+7+11+...+(4n-1)=n(2n+1) for any n positive integer > 0
Thank you
The given sum of arithmetic progression series 3+7+11+... (4n-1) = n(2n+1) is true.
What is Arithmetic progression?The difference between every two successive terms in a sequence is the same this is known as an arithmetic progression (AP).
The arithmetic progression has wider use in mathematics for example sum of natural numbers.
Natural number = 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8...
Now it has the same difference between any two consecutive terms d =2-1 = 3-2.
The Sum of n terms of an AP is given by,
S= n/2[2a + (n-1)d ] where a is first term and d is common difference.
In our series 3+7+11+... (4n-1)
First term (a) = 3
Common difference (d) = 7 - 3 = 4
So the sum will be
S = n/2[2(3) + (n-1)4]
S = n[3 + 2(n - 1)]
S = n (2n + 1 ) = Right hand side.
Hence "The given sum of arithmetic progression series 3+7+11+... (4n-1) = n(2n+1) is true".

The volume of ice-cream in the cone is half the volume of the cone. The cone has a 3 cm radius and
6 cm height. What is the depth of the ice-cream, correct to two decimal places?
m
3 cm
Ice-cream
6 cm
depth of
ice-cream
5cm
Answer:
h = 5 cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that,
The volume of ice-cream in the cone is half the volume of the cone.
Volume of cone is given by :
[tex]V_c=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi r^2h[/tex]
r is radius of cone, r = 3 cm
h is height of cone, h = 6 cm
So,
[tex]V_c=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi (3)^2\times 6\\\\V_c=18\pi\ cm^3[/tex]
Let [tex]V_i[/tex] is the volume of icecream in the cone. So,
[tex]V_i=\dfrac{18\pi}{2}=9\pi\ cm^3[/tex]
Let H be the depth of the icecream.
Two triangles formed by the cone and the icecream will be similiar. SO,
[tex]\dfrac{H}{6}=\dfrac{r}{3}\\\\r=\dfrac{H}{2}[/tex]
So, volume of icecream in the cone is :
[tex]V_c=\dfrac{1}{3}\pi (\dfrac{h}{2})^2(\dfrac{h}{3})\\\\9\pi=\dfrac{h^3}{12}\pi\\\\h^3=108\\\\h=4.76\ cm[/tex]
or
h = 5 cm
So, the depth of the ice-cream is 5 cm.
find m<SPT in degrees
Answer: 60°
Step-by-step explanation:
∠UQR = 180°
∠UQR = ∠UQ + ∠QR
180° = 115° + ∠QR
65° = ∠QR
∠QRT = 180°
∠QRT = ∠QR + ∠RS + ∠ST
180° = 65° + ∠RS + 55°
180° = 120° + ∠RS
60° = ∠RS

Find x in each triangle
Answer:
x=20
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is a right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2 + b^2 = c^2
21 ^2 + x^2 = 29^2
441+x^2 =841
Subtract 441 from each side
x^2 = 841-441
x^2 = 400
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(x^2) = sqrt(400)
x = 20
Answer:
[tex]\boxed{x = 20}[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Hey there!
Well to find x we need to use the Pythagorean Theorem, which is.
[tex]a^2 + b^2 = c^2[/tex]
We have a which is 21 and 29 which is c.
[tex](21)^2 + x^2 = (29)^2[/tex]
[tex]441 + x^2 = 841[/tex]
[tex]-441[/tex]
[tex]x^2 = 400[/tex]

On a coordinate plane, a line goes through (negative 3, 3) and (negative 2, 1). A point is at (4, 1). What is the equation, in point-slope form, of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (4, 1)? y − 1 = −2(x − 4) y – 1 = Negative one-half(x – 4) y – 1 = One-half(x – 4) y − 1 = 2(x − 4)
Answer:
y - 1 = -2(x - 4).
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to find the slope. Two sets of coordinates are (-3, 3), and (-2, 1).
(3 - 1) / (-3 - -2) = 2 / (-3 + 2) = 2 / (-1) = -2.
The line will be parallel to the given line, so the slope is the same.
Now that we have a point and the slope, we can construct an equation in point-slope form.
y1 = 1, x1 = 4, and m = -2.
y - 1 = -2(x - 4).
Hope this helps!
The slope of the line passing parallel to the given line and passes through the point (4, 1) is y = -2x + 9
The equation of a straight line is given by:
y = mx + b
where y, x are variables, m is the slope of the line and b is the y intercept.
The slope of the line passing through the points (-3,3) and (-2,1) is:
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\\\m=\frac{1-3}{-2-(-3)} \\\\m=-2[/tex]
Since both lines are parallel, hence they have the same slope (-2). The line passes through (4,1). The equation is:
[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\\\\y-1=-2(x-4)\\\\y=-2x+9[/tex]

a. AABC has a right angle at B, BC = 4, and has an area of 10 square units. What is the
length of AB?
Answer:
5 unitsStep-by-step explanation:
A right angled triangle is a triangle that has one of this angles to be 90°. According to the ΔABC, the angle at B is 90°.
Area of a triangle = 1/2 * base * height
According to the diagram shown, the base is BC and the height is AB which is the required side.
Area of the triangle = 1/2 * BC * AB
Given area of the triangle = 10 square units
BC = 4 units
AB is the required length.
Substituting this values into the formula above;
10 = 1/2 * 4 * AB
10 = 2AB
Dividing both sides by 2
2AB/2 = 10/2
AB = 5 units
Hence the length of AB is 5 units.
What is the area of a parallelogram if the coordinates of its vertices are (0, -2), (3,2), (8,2), and (5, -2)?
Answer: 20 sq. units .
Step-by-step explanation:
Let A(0, -2), B(3,2), C(8,2), and D(5, -2) are the points for the parallelogram.
First we plot these points on coordinate plane, we get parallelogram ABCD.
By comparing the y-coordinate of B and C with A and D , we get
height = 2+2 = 4 units
Also by comparing the x coordinates of A and D, we get base = 5-0= 5 units
Area of parallelogram = Base x height
= 5 x 4 = 20 sq. units
Hence, the area of a parallelogram ABCD is 20 sq. units .

Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean of and a standard deviation . Find the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 81 and 119 .
Complete Question
Assume that adults have IQ scores that are normally distributed with a mean μ=100 and a standard deviation σ=15. Find the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 81 and 119.
Answer:
The probability is [tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = 0.79474[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question we are told that
The standard deviation is σ = 15.
The mean μ= 100
The range we are considering is [tex]x_1 = 81 , \ x_2 = 119[/tex]
Now given that IQ scores are normally distributed
Then the probability that a randomly selected adult has an IQ between 81 and 119 is mathematically represented as
[tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = P(\frac{x_1 - \mu }{\sigma } <\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } < \frac{x_2- \mu }{\sigma } )[/tex]
Generally
[tex]\frac{X - \mu }{\sigma } = Z(The \ standardized \ value \ of \ X )[/tex]
So
[tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = P(\frac{x_1 - \mu }{\sigma } <Z < \frac{x_2- \mu }{\sigma } )[/tex]
substituting values
[tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = P(\frac{81 - 100 }{15 } <Z < \frac{119- 100 }{15 } )[/tex]
[tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = P( -1.2667 <Z <1.2667 )[/tex]
[tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = P(Z <1.2667 )-P( Z < -1.2667 )[/tex]
From the standardized Z table
[tex]P(Z <-1.2667 ) = 0.10263[/tex]
And [tex]P(Z <1.2667 ) = 0.89737[/tex]
So
[tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = 0.89737 - 0.10263[/tex]
[tex]P( x_1 < X < x_2) = 0.79474[/tex]
