The product of eight minus a number and seven equals forty when decreased by five. Which equation represents the sentence?

1 answer:

8 0

The "product" of two numbers means you multiply them.

So, you are multiplying (8-n), where n = "a number," by 7.

Then, when you decrease (subtract) this product by 5, you get 40.

So the whole thing looks like

7(8-n) - 5 = 40.

A circular garden has a circumference of

omeli [17]

This solution to this problem is predicated on the fact that the circumference is just: $2\pir$ . A straight line going through the center of the garden would actually be the diameter, which is well known to be two times the radius of the circle, so we can say that the circumference is just:

$d\pi$

So, solving for both the radius and the diameter gives us:

$d\pi=8xy^2\pi\\ d=8xy^2\\ \\ 2\pi r=8xy^2\pi\\ r=4xy^2$

So, the length of thes traight path that goes through the center of the guardain is just $8xy^2$ , and we can use the radius for the next part of the problem.
