Why do you think it's important that we always label our units on word problems

1 answer:

5 0

Word problems describe a situation where something mathematical can be found out about a system. Often, it's a real-world measurement (like numbers of apples, ages of people, inches, feet, etc.) and usually have more than one object being discussed.
The answer must be expressed in specific units so the value cannot be confused with other measurements discussed in the problem.

Y+2 = -3(x – 4)<br> Complete the missing value in the solution to the equation. <br><br> (?, -2)

ss7ja [257]

Answer:

The missing value in the solution to

the equation will be:

$x=4$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation

$y+2\:=-3\left(x\:-\:4\right)$

As the value of y = -2 is given.

so substituting the value y = -2 in the equation to find the missing value

$\left(-2\right)+2\:=-3\left(x\:-\:4\right)$

switch the sides

$-3\left(x-4\right)=\left(-2\right)+2$

$\mathrm{Remove\:parentheses}:\quad \left(-a\right)=-a$

$-3\left(x-4\right)=-2+2$

$-3\left(x-4\right)=0$

$\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}-3$

$\frac{-3\left(x-4\right)}{-3}=\frac{0}{-3}$

$x-4=0$

$x=4$

Therefore, the missing value in the solution to

the equation will be:

$x=4$

To complete a task in 15 days, a company has 4 people each working 8 hours a day. The company

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Let's suppose that each person works at an hourly rate R.

Then if 4 people working 8 hours per day, a total of 15 days to complete the task, we can write this as:

4*R*(15*8 hours) = 1 task.

Whit this we can find the value of R.

R = 1 task/(4*15*8 h) = (1/480) task/hour.

a) Now suppose that we have 5 workers, and each one of them works 6 hours per day for a total of D days to complete the task, then we have the equation:

5*( (1/480) task/hour)*(D*6 hours) = 1 task.

We only need to isolate D, that is the number of days that will take the 5 workers to complete the task:

D = (1 task)/(5*6h*1/480 task/hour) = (1 task)/(30/480 taks) = 480/30 = 16

D = 16

Then the 5 workers working 6 hours per day, need 16 days to complete the job.

b) The assumption is that all workers work at the same rate R. If this was not the case (and each one worked at a different rate) we couldn't find the rate at which each worker completes the task (because we had not enough information), and then we would be incapable of completing the question.

Samuel consumed 2161 calories of food on Monday, 2378 calories on Tuesday, and 1841 calories on Wednesday. In order for Samue

german

Number of calories consumed on Monday = 2161
Number of Calories consumed on Tuesday = 2378
Number of Calories consumed on Wednesday = 1841
Daily average intake is 2200
Let calories intake on Thursday be X

Now ,

Average = sum of total calories/ number of calories

=> 2200 = 2161+2378+1841+X/4

=> 2200 x 4 = 6377 + X

=> 8800 = 6377 + X

=> X = 8800-6377

=> X = 2423

So Samuel must consume 2423 calories on Thursday
