If there were 5 yes votes for every 4 no votes, there were 5 yes votes for every 9 total votes, so 5/9 of the 7911 votes were yes. 5/9*7911=4395.

Find two consecutive whole numbers such that 4/7 of the larger exceeds 1/2 of the smaller by 5

Darina [25.2K]

Answer:

The consecutive numbers are 62 and 63

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the larger number be represented by x and the smaller number by y,

Provided they are consecutive numbers;

$x = y + 1$ --- Equation 1

From the question; we have that

$\frac{4x}{7} = \frac{y}{2} + 5$ --- Equation 2

Required

Find x and y

Multiply both sides of equation 2 by 14

$14 * \frac{4x}{7} = 14 * \frac{y}{2} + 14 * 5$

$2 * 4x = 7 * y + 70$

$8x = 7y + 70$ ---- Equation 3

Substitute y + 1 for x in equation 2

$8(y + 1) = 7y + 70$

Open bracket

$8y + 8 = 7y + 70$

Collect like terms

$8y - 7y = 70 - 8$

$y = 62$

$x = y + 1$

So,

$x = 62 + 1$

$x = 63$

Hence, the consecutive numbers are 62 and 63

F ÷ 28 = 24

F/28 = 24 Cross Multiply

F = 28 * 24

F = 672

If a=2b^3 and b= -1/2c ^-2,express a in terms of c.

ElenaW [278]

Answer:

Part 1) $a=-\frac{1}{4c^6}$

Part 2) $a=-\frac{1}{4c^{-6}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Part 1) we have

$a=2b^{3}$ ----> equation A

$b=-\frac{1}{2}c^{-2}$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$a=2(-\frac{1}{2}c^{-2})^{3}$

Applying property of exponents

$(x^{m})^{n}=x^{m*n}$

$x^{-m} =\frac{1}{x^{m}}$

$a=2(-\frac{1}{2}c^{-2})^{3}=2(-\frac{1}{2})^3(c^{-2})^{3}=2(-\frac{1}{8})(c^{-6})=-\frac{1}{4c^6}$

therefore

$a=-\frac{1}{4c^6}$

Part 2) we have

$a=2b^{3}$ ----> equation A

$b=-\frac{1}{2c^{-2}}=-\frac{c^{2}}{2}$ ----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A

$a=2(-\frac{c^{2}}{2})^{3}$

Applying property of exponents

$(x^{m})^{n}=x^{m*n}$

$x^{-m} =\frac{1}{x^{m}}$

$a=2(-\frac{c^{2}}{2})^{3}=2(-\frac{c^{6}}{8})$

simplify

$a=-\frac{c^{6}}{4}$

therefore

$a=-\frac{1}{4c^{-6}}$

Pls help, due soon algebra

Sever21 [200]

Answer:

(x, y ) --> (x - 1, y - 4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Since you subtract 1 from the x coordinate and subtract 4 from the y coordinate, the rule would be:

(x, y ) --> (x - 1, y - 4)
