Answer:

2n+5 =3

n=-1

The number is -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number

Twice the number

2n

Plus 5

2n+5

is means equals

2n+5 =3

Now we want to solve

Subtract 5 from each side

2n+5-5 = 3-5

2n = -2

Divide each side by 2

2n/2 = -2/2

n = -1

Jim ran 15 miles in 5 days. At this rate, how many days will it take Jim to run 165 miles?
AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

55 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Jim ran 15 miles in 5 days

no. of miles ran in 5 days = 15 miles

dividing LHS and RHS by 5

no. of miles ran in 5/5(=1) days = 15/5 miles = 3 miles

no. of miles ran in 1 day =  3 miles

let the no. of days taken to run 165 miles be x   ----A

No of miles ran in x days = x*no. of miles ran in 1 day = 3x miles

thus,  From A

3x  = 165

x = 165/3 = 55

Thus, it took 55 days for JIM to run 165 miles

Given vectors A (2,-1,5), B (4,3,-2) & C (5,4,0), find:?
MrRissso [65]
A) 4a - 3b + 2c

4(2, -1, 5) - 3(4, 3 , -2) + 2(5, 4, 0) = (8, -4, 20) - (12, 9, - 6) + (10, 8, 0) =

= (8 - 12 + 10 , -4 - 9 + 8 , 20 + 6 + 0) = (6, - 5, 26)

Answer: (6, - 5, 26)

b) magnitude of vector b

\sqrt{4^2+3^2+(-2)^2} = \sqrt{16+9+4} = \sqrt{29} ~ 5.4

c) vector of length 7 parallel to vector c

=> m(5,4,0) = (5m,4m,0)

=>    \sqrt{(5m)^2+(4m)^2+0}= \sqrt{25m^2+16m^2}= \sqrt{41m^2}=m \sqrt{41}=7

=> m = 7 / √41 ≈ 1.093

=> 1.093 (5, 4, 0) = (5.465 , 4.372, 0)

Answer: (5.465 , 4.372 , 0)

Let a = x^2 + 4. Rewrite the following equation in terms of a and set it equal to zero. ( x^2 + 4 )^2 +32 = 12x^2 + 48
Aleks04 [339]
Answer:  In the resulting equation:  " a² - 12a + 32 = 0 " ;
________________________________________________________
  The "coefficient" of the "a" term is:  " - 12" . 
________________________________________________________
  The "constant" is:  " 32 " .
________________________________________________________

Explanation:

________________________________________________________

Let:   "a = x² + 4 " .

Given:  (x² + 4)²  + 32  =  12x² + 48  ; 
______________________________________________________

Factor:  "12x² + 48" into " (x² + 4) " ;

"12x² + 48"  =  12 (x² + 4) " ;
______________________________________________________

Given:    (x² + 4)²  + 32  =  12x² + 48 ; 

rewrite as;  "a² + 32 = 12a " ; 

Subtract "12a" from each side of the equation; 

"a² + 32 - 12a = 12a - 12a ;
 
to get:

" a² - 12a + 32 = 0 " .
___________________________________________________
The coefficient of the "a" term;  that is:

The "coefficient" of " -12a" ;  is:  "- 12" . 

The constant is:  "32<span>" .
