Ten times the sum of half a number and 6 is 8

Even though we don't know the number yet, we need to give it some kind of label
so that we can work with it.  We can call it anything.  I'd like to call it ' G '.

The number we're looking for is ' G '.

Half of it is  1/2 G

The sum of that and 6 is          1/2 G + 6

Ten times that is              10 (1/2 G + 6)

The question says that's 8.
                                        So       10 (1/2 G + 6) = 8

Divide each side by  10 :                1/2 G + 6  =  0.8

Subtract  6  from each side:            1/2 G  =  - 5.2

Multiply each side by  2 :                        G  =  - 10.4

That seems like a weird answer.  We should check it.

The number:                                         -10.4
Half the number:                                   - 5.2
The sum of half the number and 6:      -5.2 + 6 = +0.8
Ten times that sum:                                                  8

Yep !  By golly, sho nuff, dV-dT and E to the X !  
Everything checks out, and the mystery number is      - 10.4

at a school there are 10 students taking only chemistry, 9 students taking only physics 5 students taking both, and 16 students
sveticcg [70]

Answer:

If there are 10 students taking only chemistry, 9 students taking only physics, and 5 students only taking both chemisty and 16 students are taking neither; I would add 10+9+5+16=40 (total students) and divide 10/40 (25% chemistry) 9/40 (22.5% physics) 5/40 (12.5% both) 16/40 (40% neither)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Determine a single event with a single outcome.

2. Identify the total number of outcomes that can occur.

3. Divide the number of events by the number of possible outcomes.

worty [1.4K]

Answer: 65.1 (mg)

Step-by-step explanation:

y=190*e^{-a*t}\\\\Calculate\ a:\\\\t=33,y=95(mg)\\\\190*e^{-a*33}=95\\\\e^{-a*33}=0.5\\\\-a*33=ln(0.5)\\\\a=\dfrac{ln(\dfrac{1}{2}) }{-33} \\\\a=0,02100... \approx{0.021}\\\\If\ t=51\ h, y=190*e^{-0.02100*51}=65.09167...\approx{65.1}

Andrej [43]

Answer:

Usually pounds (lb) .About an an average of  20 to 25 pounds (lbs)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since Marvin uses Customary units, and considering the Watermelon.

Pounds,  He could estimate based on average of 20 to 25 pounds.

He could choose another customary units, but it wouldn't be practical and unusual to say a watermelon of 160 quarters, also it would leave all the listeners without parameters.

So, definitely pounds.
