To find this, turn the word question into an equation.
"One less than" means - 1, which is 1 being subtracted from something.
"half a number" means 1/2x, since 1/2 is half and x is unknown.
"is 12" means = 12, which is something equals 12.
Putting this in order would be 1/2x, then - 1, then = 12.
As an equation, this is 1/2x - 1 = 12.
So the equation is 1/2x - 1 = 12
Now you must find the number by solving this equation.
1/2x - 1 = 12
First, add 1 to both sides.
12 + 1 = 13
1/2x = 13
Now multiply both sides by 2.
This way, x will be isolated since 1/2x • 2 = 1x, and 1x = x.
13 • 2 = 26
x = 26
The number is 26.
Hello from MrBillDoesMath!
Answer: radius = 20
Discussion:
The distance between two complex points z1 ( = x1 + i y1) and z2 ( = x2 + iy2) is
sqrt ( (x1-x2)^2 + (y1-y2)^2)
In our case z1 = -10 - 1i and z2 = 6 + 11i. Per the above formula, the distance, or radius of the circle, is given by
sqrt ( (-10 - 6)^2 + ( -1 - 11)^2 ) =
sqrt ( ( -16)^2 + (-12)^2) ) =
sqrt ( 256 + 144) =
sqrt(400) =
20
Thank you,

Answer:
$606.41
Step-by-step explanation:
1504 W * (1 kW)/(1000 W) * 0.14 $/(kW*h) * 4 months * (30 days)/(month) * (24 hours)/day =
= $606.41
Answer:
x=1, y= 7
Step-by-step explanation:
−5x+2y=9
y=7x
Substitute the second equation in for the first
-5x +2(7x) = 9
-5x + 14x = 9
Combine like terms
9x = 9
Divide by 9
9x/9 = 9/9
x =1
Now find y
y = 7(1)
y =7
Answer:
3:1
Step-by-step explanation:
area is 2D while the perimeter is a length which is 1D. you can also about this in how the area is units squared while the perimeter is just units. so we need the square roote of 9 and 1, sqrt(9) = 3, sqrt(1) = 1. so the ratio of the perimeter is 3:1
