$\frac{12}{100}$ = $\frac{9}{x}$ Cross multiply

12x=900 Divide both sides by 12.

x=75 hammers to begin with.

1-25. Given f(x) =- 2/3x +3 and g(x) = 2x2 - 5, complete parts (a) through (f).

Korolek [52]

Answer:

When f or g are equivalent to a number you are solving for x. For example b, d, e, f. In the equation g(x) =2x2-5 I assumed 2 was a typo. So, if it's incorrect, please use same steps and just adjust the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

$f(x)=-\frac{2}{3x}+3$

a) $f(3)=-\frac{2}{2(3)} +3$

$=-\frac{1}{3}+3$ $=\frac{-1+6}{3}$ $=\frac{5}{3}$

b) $f(x)=-5$

$-5=-\frac{2}{3x}+3$

$-8=-\frac{2}{3x}$

$-24x=-2$

$x=\frac{1}{12}$

$g(x)=2x-5$

c) $g(-3)=2(-3)-5$

$=-6-5$

$=-11$

d) $g(x)=-7$

$-7=2x-5$

$-2=2x$

$x=-1$

e) $g(x)=8$

$8=2x-5$

$12=2x$

$x=6$

f) $g(x)=9$

$9=2x-5$

$11=2x$

$x=\frac{11}{2}$

A bicycle wheel with diameter 16 inches rides over a screw in the street. The screw is on level ground before it

34kurt

Answer:

16 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Note: it should say 56π inches instead of 56 inches otherwise no option is correct</em>

<u>Given</u>

Diameter of the wheel = 16 in

<u>Full circumference of the wheel </u>

C =πd = 16π

<u>Bike moves </u>

56π

<u>The wheel turns:</u>

56π /16π = 3.5 times

We only consider her 0.5 of full turn of the wheel to identify the screw position

Since we consider the turns from the ground level as the initial position of the screw, the screw position in the end will be half turn opposite to ground level.

This is the full diameter length, which is 16 inches

So correct answer option is 16 inches

On Tuesday Conrad had 3 times as many sales as on Monday. On Wednesday, he had 9 times as many sales as on Monday. Over the thre

Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Conrad had 56 sales on Monday , 168 sales on Tuesday and 504 sales on Wednesday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of sales on Monday

We are given that On Tuesday Conrad had 3 times as many sales as on Monday.

So, Conrad had sales on Tuesday = 3x

We are also given that On Wednesday, he had 9 times as many sales as on Monday.

So, Conrad had sales on Wednesday = 9x

Over the three days, he had a total of 728 sales

So, x+3x+9x=728

13x=728

$x=\frac{728}{13}$

x=56

Conrad had sales on Tuesday = 3x =3(56)=168

Conrad had sales on Wednesday = 9x=9(56)=504

Hence Conrad had 56 sales on Monday , 168 sales on Tuesday and 504 sales on Wednesday.
