Fifteen more than half a number is 9

Mathematics
1 answer:
denis-greek [22]4 years ago
4 0
Hey there!

"15 more than" will mean that 15 will be added to another term. The other term is "half a number", meaning 0.5x, where x is the number. This equation is equal to 9. The final equation is 0.5x + 15 = 9. 

To solve this, cancel out the terms until you find what x is equal to:

0.5x + 15 = 9 (subtract 15 from both sides)
0.5x = –6 (divide both sides by 0.5)
x = –12 (final answer)

Hope this helped you out! :-)

On a piece of paper, graph y< -*x+2. Then determine which answer choice matches the graph you drew.
alisha [4.7K]

D. graph D

Explanation

Step 1

graph the function as a line

convert

\begin{gathered} y

to graph, find 2 coordianates

a) when x=0

\begin{gathered} y=-\frac{3}{4}x+2 \\ y=-\frac{3}{4}\cdot0+2 \\ y=0+2,\text{ y=2} \\ so,\text{ we have P1(0,2)} \end{gathered}

b) when

x=-4

\begin{gathered} y=-\frac{3}{4}x+2 \\ y=-\frac{3}{4}\cdot-4+2 \\ y=3+2 \\ y=5 \\ P2(-4,5) \end{gathered}

now, using two points draw a line

Step 2

we are looking fro values under this line, so the answer is

D. graph D

From my understanding you ahould use the trig function cos to solve this.
cos(c) = 15/25 or 0.6
if you have this following function on your calculator I suggest using it:

cos ^{ - 1}

by using the function like so:

cos^{ - 1} (0.6

you should get about 53.13° (rounding to the nearest hundredth)
Hope this helped.
