Answer:
15
Step-by-step explanation:
let r represent red marbles then white = 2r + 5 and total is 20, thus
r + 2r + 5 = 20 ( subtract 5 from both sides )
3r = 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )
r = 5 ← number of red marbles
Thus number of white = 20 - 5 = 15
Answer:
$9$
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: Thea enters a positive integer into her calculator, then squares it, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key, then squares the result, then presses the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key again such that the calculator displays final number as $243$.
To find: number that Thea originally entered
Solution:
The final number is $243$.
As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,
the number before $243$ must be $324$.
As previously the number was squared, so the number before $324$ must be $18$.
As previously the $\textcolor{blue}{\bf\circledast}$ key was pressed,
the number before $18$ must be $81$
As previously the number was squared, so the number before $81$ must be $9$.
Only selections B and D give a maximum height of 13 at t=3. However, both of those functions have the height be -5 at t=0, meaning the ball was served from 5 ft below ground. This does not seem like an appropriate model.
We suspect ...
• the "correct" answers are probably B and D
• whoever wrote the problem wasn't paying attention.
Answer:
j(x) = [ (3/10) cookie/student ]x
Step-by-step explanation:
The "unit rate" here is
3 jumbo cookies
------------------------- = (3/10) cookie/student
10 students
Then the number of cookies needed to feed x students is
j(x) = [ (3/10) cookie/student ]x
