Hi!

First, find the total percent of vehicles with at least 3 people.

15% + 7% + 3% = 25%

Now find 25% of 420

Set up a proportion and cross multiply to solve.

$\frac{x}{420} \frac{25}{100}$

25 * 420 = 10500

10500/100 = 105

The answer is 105 vehicles contained at least 3 people.

Hope this helped! :)

If 5(3x-1)=55 what is the value of 2x-2

cricket20 [7]

Hey ! there

Answer:

Value of 2x - 2 is 6 .

Step-by-step explanation:

In this question we are provided with an equation that is 5 ( 3x - 1 ) = 55 and we are asked to find the value of 2x - 2 .

Firstly , we need to find the value of x . So we need to solve the equation .

SOLUTION : -

$\quad \longmapsto \qquad \: 5(3x - 1) = 55$

Step 1 : Dividing with 5 on both sides :

$\quad \longmapsto \qquad \: \dfrac{ \cancel{5}(3x - 1)}{ \cancel{5}} = \cancel{\dfrac{55}{5} }$

On cancelling , We get :

$\quad \longmapsto \qquad \:3x - 1 = 11$

Step 2 : Adding 1 on both sides :

$\quad \longmapsto \qquad \:3x - \cancel{1} + \cancel{1} = 11 + 1$

On simplifying , We get :

$\quad \longmapsto \qquad \:3x = 12$

Step 3 : Dividing with 3 on both sides :

$\quad \longmapsto \qquad \: \dfrac{ \cancel{3}x}{ \cancel{3}} = \cancel{ \dfrac{12}{3} }$

We get ,

$\quad \longmapsto \qquad \: \underline{\boxed{\frak{x = 4}}}$

→ Therefore , value of x is 4 .

Verifying : -

Now we are verifying whether our answer is wrong or right . So ,

5 ( 3x - 1 ) = 55

5 { 3( 4 ) - 1 } = 55

5 ( 12 - 1 ) = 55

5 ( 11 ) = 55

L.H.S = R.H.S

Hence , Verified .

Therefore , our value of x is correct/valid .

We need to find the value of 2x - 2 . 

 $\quad \longmapsto \qquad \:2x - 2$ 

So substituting value of x in it :

 $\quad \longmapsto \qquad \:2( \bold{4}) - 2$ 

Multiplying 2 with 4 : 

 $\quad \longmapsto \qquad \:8 - 2$ 

Subtracting 2 from 8 :

$\quad \longmapsto \qquad \: \blue{\underline{\boxed{\frak{6}}}} \quad \: \bigstar$

Henceforth, value of 2x - 2 is ❝ 6 ❞.

I need help with this

olga2289 [7]

Answer:

x = 24.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Since this is a right triangle, use Pythagorean Theorem to solve for the hypotenuse.

Pythagorean Theorem: a² + b² = c²

24² + 5² = x²

576 + 25 = x²

601 = x²

√601 = x

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Change 6 1/4 into an improper fraction

6 1/4 = (4*6 +1)/4 = 25/4

Multiply by the fraction

25/4 * 4/5

There are 5 gallons left

Which equation represents a direct variation? y = 2х y=x+4 y= 1/2x y=3/x

gayaneshka [121]

Answer:option 1 and option 2 represents a direct variation.

Step-by-step explanation:

A direct variation is one in which, as one variable increases in value, the other variable increases in value. Also as one variable decreases in value, the other variable decreases in value.

Looking at the options,

1) y = 2х

When x = 2, y = 2×2 = 4

When x = 3, y = 2×3 = 6

Therefore, y = 2x is a direct variation.

2) y=x+4

When x = 2, y = 2 + 4 = 6

When x = 3, y = 3 + 4 = 7

Therefore, y = x + 4 is a direct variation.

3) y= 1/2x

When x = 2, y = 1/2×2 = 1/4 = 0.25

When x = 3, y = 1/2×3 = 1/6 = 0.17

Therefore, y = 1/2x is not a direct variation.

4) y = 3/x

When x = 2, y = 3/2 = 1.5

When x = 3, y = 3/3 = 1

Therefore, y = 3/x is not a direct variation.
