In the equation 9 more than 3 times a number is -6, what does a number equal

Mathematics

atroni [7]3 years ago

So 9 more than 3 times a number, would be: 
9+(3x)=-6
then you would solve
subtract 9 from 9 and 9 from -6
you get 3x=-15
divide by 3 on both sides
x=-5

your welcome!!!! :)

What is 6 more than 7 times a number is 41
son4ous [18]


the problem would be set up as 6+(7*x)=41

first u take off the number 6 by subtracting it from itself to cancel it out then u do the same to the number 41

7x =41 now u need to cancel out the number 7 attatched to the x so u divikde it by itself and then do the same to the other side so 41 divided by 7 =5.9

 so x =5.9

A sphere with a radius of 5 cm fits inside a box. Every face of the box is tangent to the sphere. What is the ratio of the volum
BARSIC [14]
Volume of box with side length of 5 = 5^3 = 125

Volume of sphere = (4/3)*pi*5^3 = (4/3)pi * 125

Ratio = 125/(4pi/3)*125  = 1/(4pi/3) = 3/(4pi)

What is the coefficient in the expression 4x + 2 <br>O2<br>O4<br>Ox<br>O+​
Amiraneli [1.4K]

A coefficient is a numerical or constant quantity placed before and multiplying the variable in an algebraic expression (e.g. 4 in 4x).

The 2 and + are out since they don't have variables(and the + is just a +).

So 4 and x are left. x is a variable, not a coefficient, so the last(and correct) answer is 4.

hope it helps

If g(x) is a linear function such that g(-3) = 2 and g(1) = -4, find g(7).
eimsori [14]
<h3>Answer:   -13</h3>

=======================================

Explanation:

g(-3) = 2 means x = -3 and y = 2 pair up together to form the point (-3,2)

g(1) = -4 means we have the point (1,-4)

Find the slope of the line through the two points (-3,2) and (1,-4)

m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (-4-2)/(1-(-3))

m = (-4-2)/(1+3)

m = -6/4

m = -3/2

m = -1.5

The general slope intercept form y = mx+b turns into y = -1.5x+b after replacing m with -1.5

Plug in (x,y) = (-3,2) which is one of the points mentioned earlier and we end up with this new equation:  2 = -1.5*(-3) + b

Let's solve for b

2 = -1.5*(-3)+b

2 = 4.5 + b

2-4.5 = 4.5+b-4.5 .... subtract 4.5 from both sides

-2.5 = b

b = -2.5

Therefore, y = mx+b becomes y = -1.5x-2.5 meaning the g(x) function is g(x) = -1.5x-2.5

The last step is to plug in x = 7 and compute

g(x) = -1.5*x - 2.5

g(7) = -1.5*7 - 2.5

g(7) = -10.5 - 2.5

g(7) = -13

A scientist is growing bacteria in a lab for study. One particular type of bacteria grows at a rate of y=2t^2+3t+500. A differen
Leya [2.2K]

ANSWER

Approximately after 15 minutes.

EXPLANATION

The growth rate of the first bacteria is

y = 2 {t}^{2}   + 3t + 500

The growth rate of the first bacteria :

y = 3 {t}^{2}  + t + 300

To find the time that, there will be an equal number of bacteria, we equate the two equation;

3 {t}^{2}  + t + 300 = 2 {t}^{2}   + 3t + 500

3 {t}^{2}  - 2 {t}^{2}   + t  - 3t +  300 - 500 =00

{t}^{2}  - 2t  - 200= 0

We solve for t to get,

t = 15.177

Or

t =  - 13.177

We discard the negative value.

This implies that,

t \approx15
