Let the number of comic books be X
if we add 14 to X = 24
so we will find the value of X to get half initial number of comic books William had.
14+X=24
X=24-14
X=10
so the total innitial number of comic books William had is 10+10=20 books.

Help!! math algebra 1
andre [41]

Answer:

-ab/1

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplicative inverse of x/y is y/x, because when multiplied it equals 1.

x/y time y/x = xy/xy, which equals one.

In this case, -1/ab times -ab/1 = -1ab/-1ab, which equals one.

As a bicycle salesperson, Norman earns a fixed salary of $20 per week plus $6 per bicycle for the first 6 bicycles he sells, $12
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

A. I only

I. y>2x

Step-by-step explanation:

I. y>2x

He sold x bicycles last week and y bicycles this week,  this week, he earned more than twice as much as he did last week. Therefore more than twice means greater than 2 x or

y>2x

II. y>x This is not true because y could be greater than x and less than twice of x (2x)

III. y>3 This is also not true because the least he would be earning would be $ 20 and he could get earn greater than 3 and less than $ 20 which would again be contradictory to the given statement

Maya is solving the quadratic equation by completing the square.
kvasek [131]

Step-by-step explanation:

factor 4 out of the variable terms, as this helps.

but my approach is simply to define the target and then calculate "backwards".

we want to find

(ax + b)² = a²x² + 2abx + b²

and now we compare with the original equation :

a²x² = 4x²

a² = 4

a = 2

2abx = 16x

2×2×bx = 16x

4b = 16

b = 4

b² = 16, but we have only 3, so we need to subtract 16-3 = 13 from the completed square.

so, our equation is

(2x + 4)² - 13 = 0

(2x + 4)² = 13

2x + 4 = sqrt(13)

2x = sqrt(13) - 4

x = sqrt(13)/2 - 2
