Hello there! Thank you for asking your question here at Brainly! I will be assisting you with answering this question today, and will be teaching you how to handle it on your own in the future.

First, let's take a look at our problem.
"Twice a number and 5 more is 100."
Based on this context, we are looking for a specific number to plug in.

To solve for this, I will rewrite the problem. As I do so, I will be writing (in parenthesis) the translation of an equation.

Twice a number (2x) and 5 more (+5) is 100 (=100).

Let's rewrite everything that's in parenthesis.
2x + 5 = 100

This is our equation.
To solve for this, we will need to do some basic algebra. Of course, I will teach you how to handle this on your own in future scenarios.

2x + 5 = 100
To solve for x, we need  to isolate 2x, and then divide both sides by 2.

2x + 5 = 100
Subtract 5 from both sides to isolate 2x.
5 - 5 = 0
100 - 5 = 95

We now have the following equation:
2x = 95
Divide both sides by 2 to solve for x.

2x / 2 = x
95 / 2 = 47.5

x = 47.5

47.5 is your number.

I hope this helps!

Three-quarters of a pound of candy cost 66 cents. Find the cost of one pound<br> of candy.
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

$0.88 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

you want to divide the 3/4 pounds by 3, and when you do that, you also have to divide the 66 cents by 3 as well, then multiply the 1/4 you get from dividing 3/4 by 3, and multiply it by 4 to get 1 pound, but when you do that, you have to do the same thing with the 22 cents you get from dividing 66 cents by 3, which will give you 88 cents per pound

It's an increasing nonlinear. Exponential functions are graphed in basically any shape besides a line. This is an exponential function, therefore it is classified as nonlinear. By looking at the slope, from left to right, we can see that it is increasing, thus providing an answer that this is an increasing nonlinear function.
