Let's take another look at the question:
If 4 is subtracted from twice a number the result is 10 less than the number.
let x = the number
"if 4 is subtracted from" is the same as
-4
"from twice a number" is the same as
2x
so put them together,
2x-4
"the result is"
=
2x-4=
10 less than
-10
the number
x
2x-4=x-10
now we find x
subtract x from both sides to get
x-4=-10
add 4 to both sides to get
x=-6
to check, plug in the value of x into the original equation
If you have any further questions, just ask me

First we can make an equation out of this statement. 2x-4=x-10 and now we will solve it 2x-4=x-10 2x-x=-10+4 X=-10+4=-6

The least common denominator of 1/3, 5/8, and 1/2 is:
andrey2020 [161]

Answer: 24

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the common denominator. In the case 24 is the least one because when you multiply 3 by 8, you finally have a common denominator for all three.

If you found this answer helpful, give it a five-star rating and a thanks! It would really mean a lot!

Graph y = 3(x + 2)3 - 3 and describe the end behavior.
-BARSIC- [3]
1) The function is 3(x + 2)³ - 3

2) The end behaviour is the limits when x approaches +/- infinity.

3) Since the polynomial is of odd degree you can predict that the ends head off in opposite direction. The limits confirm that.

4) The limit when x approaches negative infinity is negative infinity, then the left end of the function heads off downward (toward - ∞).

5) The limit when x approaches positive infinity is positivie infinity, then the right end of the function heads off upward (toward + ∞).

6) To graph the function it is important to determine:
- x-intercepts
- y-intercepts
- critical points: local maxima, local minima, and inflection points.


7) x-intercepts ⇒ y = 0

⇒ <span>3(x + 2)³ - 3 = 0 ⇒ (x + 2)³ - 1 = 0
</span>

<span>⇒ (x + 2)³ = -1 ⇒ x + 2 =  1 ⇒ x = - 1
</span>

8) y-intercepts ⇒ x = 0

y = <span>3(x + 2)³ - 3 = 3(0 + 2)³ - 3 = 0 - 3×8 - 3 = 24 - 3 = 21
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>9) Critical points ⇒ first derivative = 0
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>i) dy / dx = 9(x + 2)² = 0
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>⇒ x + 2 = 0 ⇒ x = - 2
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>ii) second derivative: to determine where x = - 2  is a local maximum, a local  minimum, or an inflection point.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>y'' = 18 (x + 2); x = - 2 ⇒ y'' = 0 ⇒ inflection point.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Then the function does not have local minimum nor maximum, but an inflection point at x =  -2.
</span><span>
</span><span>
</span><span>Using all that information you can graph the function, and I attache the figure with the graph.

Suppose an aquarium has a length of 4 feet, a width of 2 feet, and is filled with water to a depth of 9 feet. A reef is placed i
BigorU [14]

Answer:

24ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The information that we kow about the shape of the aquarium:

length:

l=4ft

width:

w=2ft

when the reef is submerged, the water level rises 3 feet. The volume that those 3 ft represent in the aquarium will be the volume of the reef.

Thus, we calculate the volume of water "addition" with the same length and width as the aquarium but with a deep of 3 feet (thi is because the reef caused the water to rise 3 feet), and this is the volume of the reef that was added to the aquarium:

V=4ft*2ft*3ft\\V=24ft^3

The volume of the stone is 24ft^3
