4 0

Answer:

\frac{1}{3}*(x-5)=\frac{-2}{3}

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Difference of a number & 5 : x-5

1/3 time the difference of a number & 5: 1/3 (x-5)

Equation:

\frac{1}{3}*(x-5)=\frac{-2}{3}

Solution:

x-5=\frac{-2}{3}*\frac{3}{1}\\\\x-5=-2\\\\x=-2+5\\x=3

Put the following statements into order to prove that if 3n+4 is even then n is even. Put N next to the 3 statements that should
Alinara [238K]

Answer: 7, 2, 1, 5, 6, 4, 8

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Then, 3n+4=3(2k+1)+4=6k+7=2(3k+3)+1.

2. By definition of odd, there exists integer k such that n=2k+1.

N 3. Thus, if n is odd then 3n+4 is odd or by contradiction, if 3n+4 is even then n is even, .

4. Therefore, by definition of odd, 3n+4 is odd.

5. Since k is an integer, t =3k+3 is also an integer.

6. Thus, there exists an integer t such that 3n+4=2t+1.

7. Suppose n is odd.

8. Thus, if n is odd then 3n+4 is odd or by contraposition, if 3n+4 is even then n is even, .

N 9. Suppose 3n+4 is even.

N 10. By definition of odd, n=2k+1.

Right order:

7. Suppose n is odd.

2. By definition of odd, there exists integer k such that n = 2k+1.

1. Then, 3n+4 = 3(2k+1)+4 = 6k+7 = 2(3k+3)+1.

5. Since k is an integer, t = 3k+3 is also an integer.

6. Thus, there exists an integer t such that 3n+4 = 2t+1.

4. Therefore, by definition of odd, 3n+4 is odd.

8. Thus, if n is odd then 3n+4 is odd or by contraposition, if 3n+4 is even then n is even.

A Rectangular has area 12a^2 and perimeter 14a what are the dimensions of this Rectangular?​
Nataliya [291]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3a by 4a

Step-by-step explanation:

For dimensions L and W, the area and perimeter are ...

  A = LW = 12a^2

  P = 2(L+W) = 14a

Using the second equation, we can find L:

  L +W = 7a . . . . . divide by 2

  L = 7a -W

Substituting into the area formula gives the quadratic ...

  (7a -W)(W) = 12a^2

  W^2 -7aW +12a^2 = 0 . . . . arrange in standard form

  (W -3a)(W -4a) = 0 . . . . . . . factor (find factors of 12 that total 7)

Then we have the two solutions ...

  W = 3a, L = 4a

  W = 4a, L = 3a

The rectangle dimensions are 3a by 4a.
