Something times 2 equals 36

now let say that X is the number missing

Replace x by something

x*2-36

2x=36

Divide both sides by 2

x= 18

I hope that's help :)

another way you can do that is to divide 36 by 2 and it will be 18

I hope that's help and if you have questions please ask ;)

What is the equation of the line that is parallel to the given line and passes through the point (–2, 2)?

uysha [10]

Answer:

y = 1/5 x + 12/5

Step-by-step explanation:

We are looking for the equation of a line.

We satart with the slope-intercept form of the equation of a line.

y = mx + b

We need to find m, the slope, and b, the y-intercept.

The given line is y = 1/5 x - 3.

Its slope is 1/5.

Parallel lines have equal slopes, so the slope we need is also 1/5.

Now we have for our line

y = 1/5 x + b

Now we find b.

We are given a point on the line, (-2, 2). Using the slope we already know, plug in (-2, 2) in the equation and solve for b.

2 = 1/5 * (-2) + b

10 = -2 + 5b

12 = 5b

b = 12/5

Now that we know the y-intercept, we can write the equation of the line.

y = 1/5 x + 12/5

Mr. Kohl has a beaker containing n milliliters of solution to distribute to the students in his chemistry class. If he gives eac

elixir [45]

Answer:

There are 26 students in the class

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n millilitres be the solution in the beaker

Let x be the number of students in a class

He gives 3 millilitres of solution to each student . He will have 5 millilitres left over.

So, Solution distributed = 3x

Remaining solution = n-3x

So, n-3x = 5 ----1

In order to give each student 4 millilitres of solution, he will need an additional 21 millilitres.

So, n-4x=-21 -----2

Substitute the value of n from 1 in 2

So, 5+3x-4x=-21

5-x=-21

26=x

Hence There are 26 students in the class

The sum of the first number cubed and the second number is 500 and the product is a maximum.

soldier1979 [14.2K]

We are given the following information:

the sum of the first number cubed and the second number is 500

their product is a maximum

We are looking for the 2 missing numbers.

To answer this, let's represent the two numbers as x and w.

From the given, we can form the following equation:

$x^3+w=500$

We can then express y as:

$w=500-x^3$

We can express their product as:

$x(500-x^3)=500x-x^4$

To find the maximum value of x, let's solve for the derivative of -x^4 + 500 x.

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=-x^4+500x \\ f^{\prime}(x)=-4x^3+500 \end{gathered}$

Then we solve for the value of x where f'(x) = 0.

$\begin{gathered} -4x^3+500=0 \\ -4x^3=-500 \\ x^3=125 \\ x=5 \end{gathered}$

Then we use x = 5 to solve for the second number, w.

$\begin{gathered} w=500-x^3 \\ w=500-5^3 \\ w=500-125 \\ w=375 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the two numbers are 5 and 375.
