Four-thirds times the sum of a number and 8 is 24. what is the number?

So first you take the words and put them into an equation. "a number" that never gets directly told to you will always be a variable, which is easiest to make X. "The sum of a number and 8" will mean that 8+something is the sum so they have to go in parenthesis... giving you
 4/3*(x+8)=24
now just solve for X, remembering to use the reverse of PEMDAS, since you're solving for the variable.
remove what is furthest away to the X first.
x+8=24*3/4
x+8=18
x=18-8
x=10
Now, remember to always go through and replace your variable with its value and solve. if it is not equal on both sides, retry the problem because you may have missed a small +, -, or * somewhere!


Hope this helped:)

So far, 37 miles of a new highway have been completed. This is one mile less than two thirds of the entire length. How long will
blagie [28]
37 = 2/3x - 1
37 + 1 = 2/3x
38 = 2/3x
38 / (2/3) = x
38 * 3/2 = x
114/2 = x
57 = x <=== when complete, the highway will be 57 miles

The table below shows the squares of different numbers:
pentagon [3]
Part A:

Yes this is a function of x. Specifically the function is f(x) = x^2
The inputs (x) are squared to get the outputs (y). 
For example,
f(x) = x^2
f(-3) = (-3)^2 <<--- input is x = -3
f(-3) = 9 <<--- output is 9
The pair of values -3 and 9 are shown in the table (column on the very right side)

The fact that each input leads to exactly one output is what makes this a function. If we had an input lead to multiple outputs, then it wouldn't be a function.

=============================================================

Part B

Replace every x with 150 and then use the order of operations PEMDAS to simplify

f(x) = 20+3x
f(x) = 20+3*x
f(150) = 20+3*150 <<--- x has been replaced with 150
f(150) = 20+300
f(150) = 320
So the value of f(150) is 320
The input is 20
The output is 320
x is the number of hours
y or f(x) is the total cost

So this means f(150) = 320 represents the idea that 150 hours of renting the rowboat leads to a total cost of $320

Answer:

Hello,

Answer A : 11.2 ≤ X ≤ 29.2

Step-by-step explanation:

Z=\dfrac{X-20.2}{4.5} \\\\X=4.5*Z+20.2\\\\For\ Z=-2,  \ X=4.5*(-2)+20.2=11.2\\For\ Z=2,  \ X=4.5*2+20.2=29.2\\
