Twice: 2 times
The sum of: add
A number: choose a variable, like x
---Thus "the sum of a number and 4" becomes "add x and 4" which, mathematically, is "x+4"
-----Continuing to put it all together, "Twice the sum of a number and four" becomes "2 times (x+4)" which, mathematically, is "2(x+4)"
Is: equals
-------"Twice the sum of a number and four is" becomes "2(x+4)="
23 less than: subtract 23. This one tends to trick people; "23 less than" will become "__ - 23", NOT "23 - __"
three times the number: 3 times x
---"23 less than three times the number" becomes "subtract 23 from 3 times x" which, mathematically, is "3x-23"
-------So the final phrase: 2(x+4)=3x-23"
Answer:
y = 4x - 12
Step-by-step explanation:
The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is
y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )
Calculate m using the slope formula
m = 
with (x₁, y₁ ) = E(4, 4) and (x₂, y₂ ) = F(2, - 4)
m = 
= 
= 4 , then
y = 4x + c ← is the partial equation
To find c substitute either of the 2 points into the partial equation
Using (4, 4), then
4 = 16 + c ⇒ c = 4 - 16 = - 12
y = 4x - 12 ← equation of line
Answer:
y = -3.3 then -7.1
y = -7.1 then -10.9
y = -2.6 then -6.4
y = 1 then -2.8
y = 4.2 then 0.4
Step-by-step explanation:
(-3.8)+0+y can be simplified to -3.8 + y. Evaluate each value for y by substituting it into the expression and solving.
y = -3.3 then -3.8 + -3.3 = -7.1
y = -7.1 then -3.8 + -7.1 = -10.9
y = -2.6 then -3.8 + -2.6 = -6.4
y = 1 then -3.8 + 1 = -2.8
y = 4.2 then -3.8 + 4.2 = 0.4
Here is the solution based on the given situation above.
Given: 450 kg = weight limit of the elevator
750 kg = current weight of the group of passengers
? = number of passengers who weigh 70 kgs that need to get off the elevator
So to get the answer, first we need to deduct 450kg from 750 kgs to get the excess weight. So 750 - 450 is 300kgs. Next, we divide 300 by 70kgs to get the number of passengers that need to get off so 300/70 is 4.3. Therefore, there should be 4 passengers who weigh 70 kilograms that need to get off the elevator.
Answer:
3/2
Step-by-step explanation:
The ratio of males to females in a cycling club is 5:3.
1/3 of the males are under 18
2/9 of the females are under 18
The fraction of the club members that are under 18 is calculated as:
Male: Female = Male/Female
We are told in the above question:
1/3 of the males are under 18
2/9 of the females are under 18
Hence:
1/3 / 2/9
= 1/3 ÷ 2/9
= 1/3 × 9/2
= 3/2
The fraction of the club members that are under 18 is 3/2
