1. the answer is 24. think of x as the original amount, and y as the new amount. y times 1.5 is x, and y+12 is x. reverse that to figure out y, which is what we need, and you have x/1.5 = y as well as x-12 = y. Use the equal values method and make an equation x/1.5=x-12. solve this equation to get x, which is 36. to figure out the new amount, y, you need to subtract 12, which would help you get 24 as your final answer. 

2. once again, create an equation. let's call team 1 x and team 2 y. team one has 1/4th as many as team 2, so that would be x=1/4y. An easier way to write that is 4x=y. after 6 people quit team two, that would be y-6. after the transfer, that would be y-6-12, and x+12 for the teams. they are equal after these, so y-6-12=x+12. solve this equation to get y-18= x+12. if you recall earlier, y was 4 times x, so substitute that into y to get 4x-18=x+12. Solve the equation to get 10 people on team one originally. your final answer is 10 people.

Find the area of the shaded region. The radius of the large circle is 10 m. Round answer to the nearest hundredth.
vivado [14]

Answer:

hello the figure related to your question is missing attached below is the missing figure

answer : 157.08 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

Calculate the area of the shaded area

= Area of the large circle - Areas of the small circles

= (( \frac{\pi }{4} ) * D^2) - 2(  ( \frac{\pi }{4} ) * d^2 )     given that the small circles are congruent

= (( \frac{\pi }{4} ) * 20^2 ) - 2 ( ( \frac{\pi }{4} ) * 10^2 )

= 314.16 - 157.08

= 157.08 m^2

-2|x-4|+7=-3 how do i solve this absolute value problem
ira [324]
Let's do this step by step:
Subtract both sides by 7
-2|x-4|= -10
Divide each side by -2
|x-4|= 5
Now since this is an absolute value equation, you will have two answers. This means you make the equation both positive and negative.
X-4= 5and -(x-4)= 5
Solve for x for both
X-4= 5: add four on both sides
X= 9
-x+ 4= 5: subtract 4 and divide by -1
X= -1
So your answer is: X= -1 , 9
