Use the expression the problem gave.  Let n equal the number of CDs Jim owns.  
n=# of CDs Jim owns
5 less means subtract
2 times means multiply let Marcus = number of Marcus's CDs
Marcus=5-2n

Answer:

2n -5 is the expression which represents the number of CDs Marcus has

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the statement: Jim has a number (n) of CDs in his collection.

⇒ Jim has a number of CDs in his collection = n

Also, it is given that Marcus has 5 less than 2 times the number of CDs Jim has.

"2 times the number of CDs Jim has" means 2n

"5 less than 2 times the number of CDs Jim has" means 2n -5

then;

Marcus has the number of CDs = 2n -5

Therefore, the expression which represents the number of CDs Marcus has ; 2n -5

Find the equation of a line perpendicular to y - 12 = 2x – 8 that passes through the point (2, 3). (answer in slope-intercept fo
Alla [95]

Answer:

\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{2}x+4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Equation of a Line</u>

We can find the equation of a line by using two sets of data. It can be a pair of ordered pairs, or the slope and a point, or the slope and the y-intercept, or many other combinations of appropriate data.

We are given a line

y - 12 = 2x -8

And are required to find a line perpendicular to that line. Let's find the slope of the given line. Solving for y

y = 2x +4

The coefficient of the x is the slope

m=2

The slope of the perpendicular line is the negative reciprocal of m, thus

\displaystyle m'=-\frac{1}{2}

We know the second line passes through (2,3). That is enough information to find the second equation:

y-y_o=m'(x-x_o)

\displaystyle y-3=-\frac{1}{2}(x-2)

Operating

\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{2}(x-2)+3

Simplifying

\displaystyle y=-\frac{1}{2}x+4

That is the equation in slope-intercept form. Intercept: y=4

Answer:

  5.61×10^8 ton/day

Step-by-step explanation:

  (2.08×10^5 ft³/s)·(8.64×10^4 s/day)·(6.24×10^1 lb/ft³)/(2×10^3 lb/ton)

  = (2.08·8.64·6.24/2)×10^(5+4+1-3) ton/day

  ≈ 56.07×10^7 ton/day

  ≈ 5.61×10^8 ton/day

_____

We have expressed the answer using 3 significant digits, to match the precision of the rate and weight.

A band consists of 3 woodwinds for every 7 members of the band. The independent quantity represents the total members of the ban
IgorC [24]

Answer: k=\frac{3}{7}

Step-by-step explanation:

For this exercise it is important to remember the following:

The constant of proportionality, which is represented as "k", describe  the constant ratio of two quantities that are proportional (the independent and dependent variables).

In this case we know that the independent quantity represents the total members of the band and the dependent quantity represents the woodwind members of the band.

Since the band consists of 3 woodwinds for every 7 members of the band, we can conclude that the constant of  proportionality for this relationship is:

k=\frac{3}{7}
