IF 24 IS ADDED TO A NUMBER, IT WILL BE 3 TIMES AS LARGE AS IT WAS ORIGINALLY. FIND THE NUMBER

1 answer:

3 0

$x-the\ number\\\\x+24=3x\ \ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ 24\ from\ both\ sides\\\\x=3x-24\ \ \ \ \ \ \ |subtract\ 3x\ from\ both\ sides\\\\-2x=-24\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ |divide\ both\ sides\ by\ (-2)\\\\\boxed{x=12}\leftarrow answer$

Angela enjoys swimming and often swims at a steady pace to burn calories. At this pace, Angela can swim 1,700 meters in 40 minut

KATRIN_1 [288]

Well, if you are talking how much she can swim per minute, you have to divide 1700 by 40 to get the unit per minute, 1700 being the meters she can swim, and 40 are the minutes she takes to swim. So, 1700 divided by 40 would be 42.5 meters per minute. So Angela's unit is 42.5 meters per minute. YOU'RE WELCOME :D

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

$75.60

Step-by-step explanation:

42 + 28

= 70

Then, to find the price with sales tax, multiply this by 1.08:

70(1.08)

= 75.6

So, the total cost of her purchases was $75.60

The answer to this word problem usinf discriminant

solniwko [45]

$\bf h=-9.8t^2+45t+1.2\implies 64.5=-9.8t^2+45t+1.2
\\\\\\
0=-9.8t^2+45t-63.3\\\\
-------------------------------$

$\bf \qquad \qquad \qquad \textit{discriminant of a quadratic}
\\\\\\
0=\stackrel{\stackrel{a}{\downarrow }}{-9.8}t^2\stackrel{\stackrel{b}{\downarrow }}{+45}t\stackrel{\stackrel{c}{\downarrow }}{-63.3}
~~~~~~
\stackrel{discriminant}{b^2-4ac}=
\begin{cases}
0&\textit{one solution}\\
positive&\textit{two solutions}\\
negative&\textit{no solution}
\end{cases}
\\\\\\
(45)^2-4(-9.8)(-63.3)\implies -456.36$

the discriminant is a negative value, thus no solution for such quadratic, meaning if we use h=64.5 like we did, there's no "t" seconds at which point the ball hits the batting cage.
