Answer:

q=12.

Step-by-step explanation:

1/3(q+3)=5 can be translated to (q+3)/3=5.

Multiply each side by 3 to get q+3=15.

Subtract 3 from each side to get q=12.

Can you explain what you mean by "Explain why 1/3 is a fraction?"

Answer:

Assuming Q is q, q = 12.  1/3 is a fraction since it is a ratio of two whole numbers.

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem, we need to understand two things.  (1)  q is the unknown variable of this equation.  (2) The definition of a fraction is a "numerical quantity that is not a whole number" -Oxford Dictionary which can also be stated mathematically as a ratio of two whole numbers.

First, let's explain why 1/3 is a fraction.  In the numerator, we have the whole number 1, and in the denominator, we have the whole number 3.  Mathematically, 1/3 is a fraction since it is a ratio of two whole numbers.  Alternatively, we can say it's a non-whole numerical quantity.  In this case, 0.33 repeating.

Second, let's solve for our unknown variable q:

1/3 ( q + 3 ) = 5

1/3 ( q + 3 ) * 3 = 5 * 3

q + 3 = 5 * 3

q + 3 = 15

q + 3 - 3 = 15 - 3

q = 15 - 3

q = 12

Hence, the value of q is 12.

Cheers.

Determine whether each relation is a function. Give the domain and range for each relation.
brilliants [131]

Answer:

Not a function

Domain: {3,4}

Range: {4,5}

Step-by-step explanation:

A function is a relation where each input has its own output. In other words if the x value has multiple corresponding y values then the relation is not a function

For the relation given {(3, 4), (3, 5), (4, 4), (4, 5)} the x value 3 and 4 have more than one corresponding y value therefore the relation shown is not a function

Now let's find the domain and range.

Domain is the set of x values in a relation.

The x values of the given relation are 3 and 4 so the domain is {3,4}

The range is the set of y values in a relation

The y value of the given relation include 4 and 5

So the range would be {4,5}

Notes:

The values of x and y should be written from least to greatest when writing them out as domain and range.

They should be written inside of brackets

Do not repeat numbers when writing the domain and range

What is the sign of 3x y3xy3, x, y when x&gt;0x&gt;0x, is greater than, 0 and y&lt;0y&lt;0y, is less than, 0?
kaheart [24]

Answer:

B ) Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression 3xy

when x>0 and y<0

The value of the expression 3xy will be negative.

This is because the product of a positive and negative number will always be negative.

For illustration,

Let x=5>0 and y=-5<0

3xy=3(5)(-5)=-75

NOTE:

-X-=+\\-X+=-\\+X+=+
