Equation : 2x - 3 = 45

Paula sold 24 packages last year

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>DATA:</u>

Number of packages Paula sold this year = 45 packages

This year's packages are 3 less than twice the number of packages sold last year.

  • 3 less than = -3
  • Twice the number of packages sold last year

Let's assume the number of packages sold last year to be x

2x

Equation:

2x - 3 = 45

<u>Solution:</u>

2x - 3 = 45

2x = 48

x = 24

Therefore, Paula sold 24 packages last year.

Suppose f(x)=x^2 what is the graph of g(x)=f(2x)
Naddika [18.5K]

Answer:

Since g(x) = f(2x), this means we substitute 2x in place of x for f(x):

g(x) = f(2x) = (2x)² = 4x²

Graphing this, the parabola is not moved from the parent graph f(x) = x², but the graph is compressed horizontally by a factor of 4.Step-by-step explanation:

Which number produces a rational number when multiplied by 0.5?
xxMikexx [17]

If the number begins by being rational, multiplying by 0.5 will not change whether or not it is rational. It will remain rational.


That would include any even number 12 * 0.5 = 6

12 started out as rational, so the answer is rational (6)


Any odd number is also rational

23 * 0.5 = 11.5

23 and 11.5 are both rational.


3.636363636 ... is rational so when multiplied by 0.5 the result will be rational.

1.818181818....


So if we start with something irrational like pi

then pi * 0.5 is not rational.

If you have choices, please list them.

Draw or write two ways to use a doubles fact to find 6+7
PtichkaEL [24]
Here are a few doubles facts:

5+5=10
2+2=4
3+3=6

A double is simply a pair of identical numbers added together. There's a pair of doubles you can <em>subtract </em>1 from to get 6+7, and there's a pair you can <em>add</em> 1 to get the same answer. What are those pairs?

Hint: If you take the example 3+4, you can either <em>subtract 1</em> from the double 4+4 or <em>add 1</em> to the double 3+3 to obtain your answer.
