Answer: y=6

Step-by-step explanation:

The given number is y.

According to the question,

Step 1 . subtracts three from the number (y-3), then doubles it

i.e. Final number = 2(y-3)

Step 2 .  subtracts three again i.e. (2(y-3)-3), and doubles the number again

i.e. Final result  = 2(2(y-3)-3)

If the result is his original number y, then

2(2(y-3)-3) =y

⇒ 2(2y-6-3)=y   [ using distributive property]

⇒ 2(2y-9)=y

⇒ 2(2y)-2(9)=y [ using distributive property]

⇒ 4y -18=y

⇒ 4y -y= 18 

⇒ 3y= 18

⇒ y= 6    [Divide both sides by 3]

Hence,  y=6

Joseph drove for hours at the speed of 40 km per hours he changed his speed to 65 km for the next 2 hours how far had Joseph dri
daser333 [38]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 450 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

First stage                      Second stage

speed 1 = 40 km/h         speed 2 = 65 km/h                      

time 1 = 8 h                     time 2 = 2 h

Process

1.- Write the formula to calculate the speed

    speed = distance / time

-Solve for distance

    distance = speed x time

2.- Calculate the distance of the first stage

    distance 1 = 40 x 8

    distance 1 = 320 km

3.- Calculate the distance of the second stage

    distance 2 = 65 x 2

    distance 2 = 130 km

4.- Calculate the total distance

    Total distance = 320 + 130

                             = 450 km

What is the equation of the line? <br><br> Use y = mx+b
Olegator [25]

Answer:

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + b ( m is the slope and c the y- intercept )

Calculate m using the slope formula

m = (y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (2, 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (4, 2) ← 2 points on the line

m = \frac{2-3}{4-2} = - \frac{1}{2}

Note the line crosses the y- axis at (0, 4) ⇒ c = 4

y = - \frac{1}{2} x + 4 ← equation of line

When ordering a student desk priced at $69.00, the shipping charges are 6%. What is the total cost of the desk?
Wittaler [7]
Since the desk is $69.00 and the shipping charges are 6%

69*.06= 4.14

Your tax would be $4.14 so,

$4.14+$69.00= A total of $73.14

Answer: 36.84

(lmk if this isnt right)

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perimeter of the rectangle:

3+3+3+3+3+3=18

or

3(6)=18

To find the diameter of the circle:

12-(3+3)

12-6=6

You can combine the 2 half circles to make 1 full circle since they both have the same diameter. Use the circumference formula to solve.

C=πd

Substitute

C=3.14(6)

Multiply

C=18.84

Add the perimeter of the rectangle and the circumference of the circle.

18+18.84=36.84
