If you simplify what's in the bracket, you get 3n

=(3n)+4=32/2
=3n+4= 32/2(here we can either crossmultiply or equate)
3n+4-4=32/2-4(subtract 4 from both sides)
3n=32/2-4
3n=24/2
3n=12
3n=12(divide both sides by the coefficient of the unknown)
3n/3=12/3
n=4

A spy is trying to escape. She must get by four guards. Each guard takes half of her remaining money. She then $64 for her plane
Komok [63]

Answer:

The spy must have at the start the amount of $1,024 in order to escape

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

a ------> amount of money that the spy must have at the start to escape

y ----> the remaining money

x ----> the number of guards

In this problem the remaining money is going to be reduced by half, every time the spy passes through a guard, so we can use an exponential function of the form

y=a(b^{x})

where

a is the initial value (amount of money at the start)

b is the base

b=(1-r)

r is the rate of decay

In this problem we have

r=50% -----> r=0.50

The value of b is

b=(1-0.50)=0.50

substitute

y=a(0.50^{x})

we know that

In order to escape after the fourth guard the amount of money remaining must be equal to $64

so

For x=4, y=$64

substitute in the equation and solve for a

64=a(0.50^{4})

64=a(0.0625)

a=64/(0.0625)

a=\$1,024

therefore

The spy must have at the start the amount of $1,024 in order to escape

Four less than the quotient of ten and a number, increased
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotient of two numbers means that one number is dividing the other since quotient also means division. If we have quotient of ten and a number, this can be represented as 10/y where y is the unknown number.

If the resulting number is increased by 8, then we will add 8 to the function 10/y to give 10/y + 8 (note that increment means addition)

Finally, four less than the quotient of ten and a number, increased  by eight will give us te difference between the resulting function and 4 i.e (10/y +8)-4

<em>The resulting equation of the statement is  (10/y +8)-4</em>

To evaluate the result when y = 2, we will substitute y = 2 into the resulting function;

f(y) =  (10/y +8)-4

f(2) = (10/2 +8)-4

f(2) = (5+8)-4

f(2) = 13-4

f(2) = 9

<em>Hence the value of the expression when y = 2 is 9</em>

Mr. Torres took his students to the dolphin show. Each row in the stadium had 9 seats. One adult sat at each end of a row, and e
iragen [17]

Answer:

There were 4 adults; including Mr. Torres

Step-by-step explanation:

- Each row in the stadium had 9 seats

- Mr. Torres sat by himself; he sat on a row with nobody else (no students, no adults)

- The arrangement of the students and the adults who sat with them on same row is:   A  S  S  S  A  S  S  S  A

              1   2  3  4  5  6  7  8  9

since 1 adult sat at each end of a/the row and each group of 3 students was seated between 2 adults.

So the total number of adults that were present = 3 + 1 = 4

Which value is NOT a solution of 8x3 – 1 = 0?
Tpy6a [65]

<u><em>Note: As you may have unintentionally missed to add the value choices. But, I would make sure to explain the concept so that you may improve your understanding in terms of solving these type of questions.</em></u>

Answer:

Any value other than the values x=\frac{1}{2},\:x=-\frac{1}{4}+i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4},\:x=-\frac{1}{4}-i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} will not be a solution of 8x^3\:-\:1\:=\:0.

Step-by-step explanation:

Considering the equation

8x^3\:-\:1\:=\:0

Steps to solve the equation

8x^3-1=0

\mathrm{Add\:}1\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}

8x^3-1+1=0+1

\mathrm{Simplify}

x^3=\frac{1}{8}

\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}8

\frac{8x^3}{8}=\frac{1}{8}

\mathrm{Simplify}

x^3=\frac{1}{8}

As

\mathrm{For\:}x^3=f\left(a\right)\mathrm{\:the\:solutions\:are\:}x=\sqrt[3]{f\left(a\right)},\:\sqrt[3]{f\left(a\right)}\frac{-1-\sqrt{3}i}{2},\:\sqrt[3]{f\left(a\right)}\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}i}{2}

x=\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{8}},\:x=\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{8}}\frac{-1+\sqrt{3}i}{2},\:x=\sqrt[3]{\frac{1}{8}}\frac{-1-\sqrt{3}i}{2}

So,

x=\frac{1}{2},\:x=-\frac{1}{4}+i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4},\:x=-\frac{1}{4}-i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4}

Therefore,

Any value other than the values x=\frac{1}{2},\:x=-\frac{1}{4}+i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4},\:x=-\frac{1}{4}-i\frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} will not be a solution of 8x^3\:-\:1\:=\:0.
