5b + 29 ≤ -25 is the translation of the phrase "the sum of a number times 5 and 29 is at most -25"

<h3>How to translate an English phrase into an algebraic equation?</h3>

Given the phrase in the question;

The sum of a number times 5 and 29 is at most -25.

First, we translate;

Let the unknown number represented by b.

A number times 5 ⇒ b × 5 ⇒ 5b
Sum ⇒ 5b + 29
Inequality sign for at most -25 ⇒ less than or equal to ⇒ ≤ -25

Now we combine the terms;

5b + 29 ≤ -25

We can go and solve for the unknown number.

5b + 29 ≤ -25

Subtract 29 from both sides

5b + 29 - 29 ≤ -25 - 29

5b ≤ -25 - 29

5b ≤ -54

b ≤ -54/5

Therefore, the translation of the phrase is 5b + 29 ≤ -25.

(PLEASE ANSWER!!) a college student completed some courses worth 4 credits and some courses worth 3 credits. the student earned

Ierofanga [76]

The college student took 13 courses of 3 credit hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Total credits = 59

Total courses = 18

Let,

Number of 3 credit hour courses = x

Number of 4 credit hour courses = y

According to given statement;

x+y=18 Eqn 1

3x+4y=59 Eqn 2

We will eliminate y to find the number of 3 credit hour courses, therefore,

Multiplying Eqn 1 by 4

$4(x+y=18)\\4x+4y=72\ \ \ Eqn\ 3$

Subtracting Eqn 2 from Eqn 3

$(4x+4y)-(3x+4y)=72-59\\4x+4y-3x-4y=13\\x=13$

The college student took 13 courses of 3 credit hours.

A map has a scale of 1 in : 3 km. If the actual distance is 15 km, what is the distance on the map?

Black_prince [1.1K]

Answer:

5 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of map distance to real distance is 1 in : 3 km meaning that 1 inch on the map describes 15 km in real life.

15 km is 5 times 3 km, so the map distance is 5 times 1 in., or 5 in.

1 in. x 5 : 3 km x 5

This is a "school math" problem where things come out nicely! Another way to look at this is with equivalent fractions.

$\frac{\text{1 in}}{\text{5 km}} = \frac{\text{m}}{\text{15 km}}$

"cross multiply"

$5m = (15)(1)\\5m=15\\m=3 \text{ in.}$

iragen [17]

Emma needs to invest $55,050.14.

<h3><u>Compound interest </u></h3>

Given that Emma is going to invest in an account paying an interest rate of 2.6% compounded quarterly, to determine how much would Emma need to invest, to the nearest cent, for the value of the account to reach $66,000 in 7 years, you should perform the following calculation:

Principal amount x (1 + rate / number of annual compositions)^(years x number of annual compositions) = Interest
X x (1 + 0.026/4)^(7x4) = 66000
x x (1 + 0.0065)^28 = 66000
x x 1.0065^28 = 66000
x x 1.198907 = 66000
X = 66000 / 1.198907
X = 55050.14

Therefore, Emma needs to invest $55,050.14.
