Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : One number is 7 more than twice another.

To Find : If their difference is 22, what is the larger number?

Solution :

Let Another number be x

Since we are given that One number is 7 more than twice another.

⇒2x+7

We are also given that the difference between these numbers is 22

⇒2x+7-x=22

⇒x+7=22

⇒x=22-7

⇒x = 15

Thus the another number is 15

One number = 2x+7 =(2*15)+7 =30+7 =37

Thus the larger number is 37

Hence Option B is correct

Find equations of the line that is parallel to the z-axis and passes through the midpoint between the two points (0, −4, 9) and

Answer: x = -4, y = 0.5, z = 5 +t

Hi!

The line L whose direction is parallel to vector V a passes through point A

is parametrized

$P_L = Vt + A$

Where t, is a real number, and $P_L$ is a any point on line L.

In this case the direction is that of the z-axis , so V = (0, 0, 1)

A is the midpoint between points B = (0, -4, 9) and C=(-8, 5, 1)

The midpoint is A = (B + C)/2 = (-4, 0.5, 5)

Then the line is:

$P_L = (0,0,1) t + (-4, 0.5, 5)$

The equations for each coordinate are:

$x = -4\\y = 0.5\\z = 5 + t$

Joes electric made 19 customer calls last week and 25 this week. How many calls must be made next week in order to maintain an a

Mkey [24]

Answer:

At least 16 calls must be made.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that Joes electric made 19 customer calls last week and 25 this week.

Let x calls be made next week in a order to maintain an average of at least 20 calls per week for three week period.

$Average=\dfrac{\text{Sum of observations}}{\text{Number of observations}}$

$Average=\dfrac{19+25+x}{3}$

$Average=\dfrac{44+x}{3}$

Average at least 20.

$Average\geq 20$

$\dfrac{44+x}{3}\geq 20$

$44+x\geq 60$

$x\geq 60-44$

$x\geq 16$

Hence, at least 16 calls must be made.
