C = d + 3

In this equation, the variable c represent's Carter's score, and the variable d represents Denise's score. Because Denise scored 3 fewer points than Carter, that means that Carter scored 3 more points than Denise. Therefore, d, or Denise's score, is equal to c, or Carter's score, if you add 3. Now, let's substitute in Denise's score of 18.

c = 18 + 3   Substitute
c = 21   Add

Carter's score is 21. If we wanted to check that, we could simply reverse the equation.

d = c - 3   Because Denise scored three fewer points than Carter, his score equals Carter's score minus 3.
d = 21 - 3   Now, let's substitute in the answer we got for Carter's score.
d = 18   Yep! The question says that Denise scored 18 points, so the answer we got is correct.

The length of a rectangle is 3 cm less than twice the width. If the perimeter is 42 cm, what is the length of the rectangle?
larisa [96]

Answer:

The length is 13

Step-by-step explanation:

w+w+l+l= perimeter

if the length is 3m less than twice the width then let's do some math.

42 divided 2 =21. so the width and length of one side have to equal 21. For example, let's use 8 as the width. The length would be twice(16) minus three(13) 13 plus 8 is 21. WOW it equals half of it so no we know the length is 13 and the wdith is 8.

Hi, am I supposed to find the stationary points of the f(x) and g(x) then use the distance formula to solve for the final answer

Answer:

  maximum difference is 38 at x = -3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is nicely solved by a graphing calculator, which can plot the difference between the functions. The attached shows the maximum difference on the given interval is 38 at x = -3.

__

Ordinarily, the distance between curves is measured vertically. Here that means you're interested in finding the stationary points of the difference between the functions, along with that difference at the ends of the interval. The maximum difference magnitude is what you're interested in.

  h(x) = g(x) -f(x) = (2x³ +5x² -15x) -(x³ +3x² -2) = x³ +2x² -15x +2

Then the derivative is ...

  h'(x) = 3x² +4x -15 = (x +3)(3x -5)

This has zeros (stationary points) at x = -3 and x = 5/3. The values of h(x) of concern are those at x=-5, -3, 5/3, 3. These are shown in the attached table.

The maximum difference between f(x) and g(x) is 38 at x = -3.

8th grade solving systems
Serhud [2]

Answer:

(x+22) + x = 88

Step-by-step explanation:

if x is how much your friend collected, then how much you collected would be x + 22 because you collected 22 more then her. and if you add both of those together to get how much you collected together (the total) you get 88. so x (your friends sea shells) plus x+22 (your sea shells) is 88. tell me if you also need help solving the actual equation

you have x+22 + x = 88

you combine like terms, in this case the Xs

and you get 2x + 22 = 88

then you subtract 22 to both sides because you want to get x alone

and you get 2x = 88 - 22

which is 2x = 66

then you divide by 2 on both sides

and you get x = 66/2

and you get x = 33
