5 less (-5) than 1/3 of number (n/3) is (=) 2 more than (2+) half of the number (n/2)


-5+n/3=2+n/2
add 5 to both sides
n/3=n/2+7
times 6 both sides
2n=3n+42
minus 2n both sides
0=n+42
minus 42 boh sides
-42=n

the number is -42


the number is 18

X/3 - 5 = 2 + x/2
solve for x
x = -42

Answer:

Part A:

The probability of hitting the black circle is the ratio between the area of the black circle and the white square (including the black circle)

Area of circle:

Ac = pi x r^2 = pi x (2/2)^2 = pi (diameter = 2)

Area of square:

As = side^2 = 11^2 = 121 (side = 11)

=> P = pi/121 = ~0.025 (P = 0.025 < 0.5 => P is closer to 0 than 1)

Part B:

The probability of hitting the white portion could be calculated in a similar way as shown in part A. However, the event of hitting the white portion is the complement event of the event of hitting the black circle.

Because P(event) + P(complement of event) = 1

=> P = 1 - 0.025 = 0. 975 (P = 0.975 > 0.5 => P is closer to 1 than 0)

En un huerto se siembra frijol. Si se pone una planta, produce 3kg de frijol. por cada planta extra que se ponga, todas las plan
Ad libitum [116K]

Answer:

y = -0.07x2 + 3.07x

Step-by-step explanation:

For each plant we add, there is a decrease of 70 grams for all plants from the inicial value of 3 kg of beans.

So, for 2 plants, we have (3 - 0.07) * 2

For 3 plants, we have (3 - 2*0.07) * 3

For x plants, we have (3 - (x-1)*0.07) * x

So we can model the final result of the amount of beans 'y' with the equation:

y = (3 - (x-1)*0.07) * x

y = (3 - 0.07x + 0.07) * x

y = (3.07 - 0.07x) * x

y = -0.07x2 + 3.07x

(In this equation we have a = -0.07, b = 3.07 and c = 0)

Determine whether each point lies on the graph of the equation.(a) 2x - y - 3 = 0 (a) (1, 2)Yes, the point is on the graph.No, t
Neko [114]

Answer:

a) (1, 2) not on the graph.

b) (1, -1) is on the graph.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation of the line as:

2x - y - 3 = 0

The points given are

a) (1, 2)

To determine whether it is on the graph of the line or not.

To do so, we can do 2 things:

1. Draw the graph and plot the point on the graph to check whether it is on the graph or not.

2. To put the point in the given equation of the line, whether the equation is satisfied or not.

For method 1: Kindly refer to the attached image of the line and point plotted.

Method 2:

Let us put x=1, y=2 in the Left Hand Side (LHS) of equation.

2\times 1 - 2 - 3\\\Rightarrow -3 \neq 0 , RHS

(1, 2) Not on the graph.

(b) (1, -1)

For method 1: Kindly refer to the attached image of the line and point plotted.

Method 2:

Let us put x=1, y=-1 in the Left Hand Side (LHS) of equation.

2\times 1 - (-1) - 3\\\Rightarrow 3-3 = 0 = RHS

(1, -1) is on the graph.

Simplify: -4(x - 6) + 3(a - 7)
Korolek [52]

We have -4(x - 6) + 3(a - 7) = -4x + 24 + 3a - 21 = -4a + 3a + 3

so the answer is B

ok done. Thank to me :>
