Aswer:

2y+3=4y+2

Step-by-step explanation:

On the left side, there are two large weights of mass y and three small weights of mass 1. Represent this side with the expression 2y + 3.

On the right side, there are four large weights of mass y and two small weights of mass 1. Represent this side with the expression 4y + 2.

The scale is balanced, so there is equal weight on each side. We can describe the relationship between the weight on each side of the scale using the equation 2y + 3 = 4y + 2.

Combining the operations
The allowed operations are:

Add the same amount to both sides (either x's or ones)
Subtract the same amount from both sides (either x's or ones)
Multiply both sides by the same number (but not by zero)
Divide both sides by the same number (but not by zero)
(There are others, too, but they are not needed in simple equations.)

The goal is to FIRST add and subtract until we have ONLY x's (blocks) on one side and ONLY ones (circles) on the other. Then, if you have more than one block, you need to divide so as to arrive to the situation with only one block on the one side, which is the solved equation!

Find the shorter base of a trapezoid if the trapezoid's area is 52, its altitude is 8, and its longer basis 10.
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The shorter base is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

a =  \frac{(b1 + b2)}{2}  \times h

52 =  \frac{(10 + b2)}{2}  \times 8

b2 = 3

3. NASA launched the Voyager spacecraft with a mission to observe Jupiter and Saturn. In 1990,
makkiz [27]

The linear function that calculates the expected distance from the sun of the Voyager-2 spacecraft in x years after 1990 is given by:

y = 3.3x + 30.6.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value of the function.

In this problem, we have that the distance increases 33 AU each 10 years, hence the slope is given by:

m = 33/10 = 3.3.

Hence:

y = 3.3x + b.

When x = 28, y = 123, hence we use it to find b as follows:

123 = 3.3(28) + b

b = 30.6.

Hence equation to calculate the expected distance from the sun of the Voyager-2 spacecraft in x years after 1990 is given by:

y = 3.3x + 30.6.

Phyllis invested 50000 dollars, a portion earning a simple interest rate of 5 percent per year and the rest earning a rate of 7
Elodia [21]

Answer:

The amount invested at 5% was $39,000 and the amount invested at 7% was $11,000

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The simple interest formula is equal to

I=P(rt)

where

I is the Final Interest Value

P is the Principal amount of money to be invested

r is the rate of interest  

t is Number of Time Periods

Let

x-----> the amount invested at 5%

50,000-x -----> the amount invested at 7%

so

t=1\ year\\ I=\$2,720\\r_1=0.05\\r_2=0.07\\P_1=\$x\\P_2=\$(50,000-x)

substitute in the formula above

2,720=x(0.05*1)+(50,000-x)(0.07*1)

solve for x

2,720=0.05x+3,500-0.07x

0.07x-0.05x=3,500-2,720\\0.02x=780\\x=\$39,000

(50,000-x)=\$11,000

therefore

The amount invested at 5% was $39,000 and the amount invested at 7% was $11,000

How tall is a tree which is 15 feet shorter than a pole that is 3 times as tall as the tree?
Citrus2011 [14]
<h2>Height of tree is 7.5 feet</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t be the height of pole.

Given that the tree is 5 feet shorter than a pole.

Height of pole = t + 15

Also given that the pole is 3 times as tall as the tree.

Height of pole = 3t

So we have

              t + 15 = 3t

                 2t = 15

                   t = 7.5 feet

Height of tree = 7.5 feet

70% of Ms. Miller's class passed the test on the first try. Those who failed were able to retake and half of those students pass
MrRissso [65]

Answer:

85%

Step-by-step explanation:

  1. Calculate how many students passed on their first try. 20 x 70% is 14, so 14 students passed on their first try.
  2. 6 students retook the test. Half of 6 is 3. Add 3 to the 14 students that passed earlier.
  3. Calculate the percent with the equation 17/20 = 0.85. 0.85 = 85%.
