Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
If you choose 10 swimmers and 4 are Stingrays, you can say that Stingrays make up roughly 40% of the swimmers. If 20 Stingrays make up 40% of all the swimmers, we just have to find what number 20 is 40% of. That’s easy enough by cross multiplication:
20/x = 40/100
20/x = 4/10
20/x = 2/5
x = 50.
Double check by multiplying 50 * 0.4. Since 50 * 0.4 = 20, we know we have the right answer. There are about 50 swimmers on this team.
Answer:
17.) x = 3
18.) x = -5
I couldn't do 19.) and 20.) for you because there are weird symbols that I believe you mistakenly input. But I'm sure you now get the gist of how to solve such problems. Peace <3
Step-by-step explanation:
All you really have to do for all of the problems is substitute your value of "x" for the function.
17.) f(x) = 8x - 7; f(x) =17
17 = 8x -7 ---- substitute 17 for f(x), add 7 on both sides
24 = 8x ------ divide 8 on both sides
x = 3
18.) g(x) = -4x + 7; g(x) = 27
27 = -4x + 7 substitute 27 for g(x), subtract 7 on both sides
20 = -4x
x = -5
A) x-6; you have x amount of money and pay 6 dollars for a hat.
b) 2(x2);
