Answer:

The algebraic expression which represents the phrase “two times the quantity of a number minus 12” is : 2x- 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebraic expressions are the idea of expressing numbers using letters or alphabets without specifying their actual values. The basics of algebra taught us how to express an unknown value using letters such as x, y, z, etc. These letters are called here as variables. An algebraic expression can be a combination of both variables and constants. Any value that is placed before and multiplied by a variable is a coefficient.

for example :-

3x + 4y – 7, 4x – 10, etc.

These expressions are represented with the help of unknown variables, constants and coefficients. The combination of these three (as terms) is said to be an expression. It is to be noted that, unlike the algebraic equation, an algebraic expression has no sides or equal to sign

let the quantity mentioned in the question be 'x'

therefore according to the statement the algebraic expression which represents the phrase “two times the quantity of a number minus 12” is : 2x- 12 is

⇒2x - 12 (answer)

The formula to determine energy is uppercase E = one-half m v squared. What is the formula solved for v?

alexandr402 [8]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

$E=\frac{1}{2}mv^2$

All the variables on the right are being multiplied together then the whole mess is being divided by 2. Let's get rid of the 2 first. The undoing of division is multiplication, so we will begin by multiplying both sides by 2 to get

$2E=mv^2$

Next we will move the m. The undoing of multiplication is division. So we divide both sides by m to get

$\frac{2E}{m}=v^2$

The undoing of a square is to take the square root, so we will do that to both sides giving us, finally

$\sqrt{\frac{2E}{m} }=v$

The length of a rectangle is 5 metres less than twice the breadth. If the perimeter is 50 meters,find the length and breadth

MAXImum [283]

As per the given question, it is stated that the length of a rectangle is 5 m less than twice the breadth.

Assumption : Let us assume the length as "l" and width as "b". So,

$\twoheadrightarrow \quad\sf{ Length =2(Width)-5}$

$\twoheadrightarrow \quad\sf{ \ell=(2b-5) \; m}$

Also, we are given that the perimeter of the rectangle is 50 m. Basically, we need to apply here the formula of perimeter of rectangle which will act as a linear equation here.

$\\ \twoheadrightarrow \quad\sf{ Perimeter_{(Rectangle)} = 2(\ell +b) } \\$
