Answer:

214

Step-by-step explanation:

The set up would be x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854, naturally as the numbers are consecutive. Solving for x:

x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) + (x + 3) = 854,

x + x + 1 + x + 2 + x + 3 = 854,

4x + 1 + 2 + 3 = 854,

4x + 6 = 854,

4x = 854 - 6 = 848,

x = 848/4 = 212

The third number then should be 212 + 2 = 214

Ella has 0.5 lbs of sugar. How much water should she add to make the following concentrations? Tell Ella how much syrup she will
HACTEHA [7]

Ella has to add 32.833 lbs of water to get 33.333 lbs of syrup.

<u>Solution:</u>

Ella has 0.5 lbs of sugar. Let x lbs be the amount of water Ella should add to get the 1.5% of syrup,

\Rightarrow0.5\text{ lbs }- 1.5\%

\Rightarrow x+0.5\text{ lbs }- 100\%

On writing the proportion,

\Rightarrow\dfrac{0.5}{x+0.5}=\dfrac{1.5}{100}\\ \\\Rightarrow0.5\cdot 100=(x+0.5)\cdot 1.5\\ \\\Rightarrow50=1.5x+0.75\\ \\\Rightarrow1.5x=50-0.75\\ \\\Rightarrow1.5x=49.25\\ \\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{49.25}{1.5}\approx 32.833\ lbs

To get 1.5% syrup Ella should add 32.833 lbs of water. The total weight of syrup is 33.333 lbs.

Burka [1]
Answer to written question:
3x + 10x + 7x = 180
Combine like terms
20x = 180
Divide by 20
x = 9
Smallest angle 3x = 3*9 = 27 degrees

Answer to question in picture:
30/6x-2 = 36/5x + 13
Cross multiply
30(5x + 13) = 36(6x-2)
Distribute
150x + 390 = 216x - 72
Subtract 150x
390 = 66x - 72
Add 72
462 = 66x
Divide by 66
x = 7

A cooking show currently has about 223,00 regular viewers. The number of regular viewers has been decreasing at a rate of 4.7% p
Mazyrski [523]
The best prediction for the number of regular spectators that the program will have in 6 years is obtained with the following formula:
 Pf = Po×(1-b) ^ t
 Where:
 Pf = final population
 Po = initial population
 b = decrease rate
 t = timpo in years
 So:
 Pf = 223.00×(1-0.047) ^ 6
 Pf = 167,056
 The answer is the last option.
