(1/4)x-7=17

(1/4)x=24

x=96

work backwards

Solve it by reversing what is done to the number. You don't need an equation to do that.

17 is 7 less than ...

so adding 7 to 17, making 24, will give you ... one-fourth of the number. If 24 is one-fouth of the number, multiplying 24 by 4 will give you the number. Doing that tells you the number is 96.

_____

You can do the same solution process using an equation.

(1/4)n - 7 = 17 . . . . . 7 less than 1/4 of a number is 17

(1/4)n = 24 . . . . . . . add 7

n = 4·24 = 96 . . . . multiply by 4

The number is 96.

Find the midpoint of side EF. (4 points)
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

Midpoint of side EF would be (-.5,4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the coordinates of a mid-point C(e,f) of a line segment AB with vertices A(a,b) and B(c,d) is given by:

e=a+c/2,f=b+d/2

Here we have to find the mid-point of side EF.

E(-2,3) i.e. (a,b)=(2,3)

and F(1,6) i.e. (c,d)=(1,6)

Hence, the coordinate of midpoint of EF is:

e=-2+1/2, f=3+6/2

e=-1/2, f=9/2

e=.5, f=4.5

SO, the mid-point would be (-0.5,4.5)

Please help me i really need help please help please
solong [7]

Answer:

3.605 ft is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Applying Pythagoras theorem,

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

2^2 + 3^2 = c^2

4 + 9 = c^2

13 = c^2

3.605 = c

therefore, the answer is 3.605.

A health study tracked a group of person for five years. At the beginning of the study, 20% were classified as heavy smokers, 30
Aleks04 [339]

Answer: 0.421

Step-by-step explanation:

Heavy smoker = 20%

Light smoker = 30%

Non smokers = 50%

We can assume that the probability that a non-smoker is going to die in the next 5 years be y.

Since light smokers were twice as likely as nonsmokers to die during the five-year study, the probability will be:

= 2 × y = 2y

Probability for the Heavy smokers will be:= 2 × 2y = 4y

The expected number of people that will die for each in the next 5 years will be:

Non smoker:

= 50% × y

= 0.5 × y

= 0.5y

Light smoker:

= 30% × 2y

= 0.3 × 2y.

= 0.6y

Heavy smoker:

= 20% × 4y.

= 0.2 × 4y

= 0.8y

Total = 0.5y + 0.6y + 0.8y = 1.9y

The probability that the participant was a heavy smoker will be:

= 0.8y/1.9y

= 0.421

What is the true solution to the equation below? In e^in x + in e^in x^2 = 2 in 8
mariarad [96]
To solve the given equation, w need to review some rules:
(1) \ ln \ e = 1 \\ 
(2) \ ln \  b^{a} = a*ln \ b \\
(3) \ ln \ a + ln \ b = ln \ (ab) \\
(4) \ ln \ a - ln \ b = ln \  \frac{a}{b}  \\

The given equation is :
ln \  e^{ln \ x} + ln \  e^{ln \  x^{2}} = 2 \ ln \ 8
ln \ x * ln \ e + ln \  x^{2} * ln \ e = 2 \ ln \ 8  ⇒⇒⇒⇒ rule (2)
ln \ x + ln \  x^{2} = ln \  8^{2}  ⇒⇒⇒⇒ rule (1) and rule (2)

ln \ ( x*  x^{2} ) = ln \ 64          ⇒⇒⇒⇒ rule (3)
removing the nature logarithm from both sides

x^{3} = 64 =  4^{3}
∴ x = 4


So, the correct answer is option (2) ⇒⇒⇒⇒ x = 4
