Three-fourths of a number increased by one-half

= 3/4 x + 1/2

So three-fourths of a number increased by one-half is equal to fourteen:

3/4 x + 1/2 = 14

Multiply both sides by 4

3x + 2 = 56

Subtract 2 from both sides

3x = 54

Divide both sides by 3

x = 18

Answer: The number is 18

On Monday, during a one day sale, the price of a suit was decreased by 20%. On Tuesday, the price of the suit was changed back t
nignag [31]

Answer:

25%

Step-by-step explanation:

If we consider the original price of the piece of suit is x.

Given that, on Monday during a one day sale, the price of the suit was decreased by 20%.

Therefore, the new price of the suit on Monday is x( 1 - \frac{20}{100}) = 0.8x.

Now, the price of the suit on Tuesday was changed back to the original price i.e. x.

Therefore, the price is increase by (x - 0.8x) = 0.2x from the price of 0.8x.

So, the percentage change in price of the suit on Tuesday is \frac{0.2x}{0.8x} \times 100 = 25%. (Answer)

Write an equation for the orbit of Saturn in the form x^2/a^2 + y^2/b^2 = 1
frozen [14]

Answer:

  x²/2166784 +y²/2159989 = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The relationship between the semi-axes and the eccentricity of an ellipse is ...

  e = √(1 -b²/a²)

In order to write the desired equation we need to find 'b' from 'e' and 'a'.

__

<h3>semi-minor axis</h3>

Squaring the equation for eccentricity gives ...

  e² = 1 -b²/a²

Solving for b², we have ...

  b²/a² = 1 -e²

  b² = a²(1 -e²)

<h3>ellipse equation</h3>

Using the given values, we find ...

  b² = 1472²(1 -0.056²) = 2166784(0.996864) ≈ 2159989

The desired equation is ...

  x²/2166784 +y²/2159989 = 1

What is the smallest odd number with four different prime factors?
nevsk [136]
Obviously the smallest odd number we are looking for will have the SMALLEST four prime factors. 

The smallest four prime numbers are 2,3,5,7. The lowest multiple of this is 2*3*5*7 = 210 But this is an even number! 

So let's remove 2, and use the next prime number: 3,5,7,11. The lowest multiple of these is 3*5*7*11 = 1155.
