Let n be the number unknown

2(n)-2=n+64

Use distribute property to remove parenthesis

2n-2=n+64

Move all n term to left side

2n-n-2=64

Combine like terms with n

N-2=64

Now add integer to right side by doing opposite sign

N = 64+2

Solve for n

N=66

Your number is 66

To check you substitute

2(66)-2=66+64

130. =130

What is the y value in the solution to this system of linear equations?

Travka [436]

Answer:

The y-value is -20

Step-by-step explanation:

So let's solve this by Elimination method;

-2(4x + 5y = -12)

4(2x + 3y = -16)

Let's Distribute;

-8x - 10y = 24

8x + 12y = -64

So x cancels out because -8 + 8 = 0

-10y + 12y = 2y

24 - 64 = -40

2y = -40

Divide both sides by 2;

y = -20

Now lets plug in y to find the value of x;

4x + 5(-20) = -12

4x - 100 = -12

Add 100 to both sides;

4x = 88

Divide both sides by 4;

x = 22

A recent survey asked UF students if they had a job or not, and if they were underclassmen (Freshmen and Sophomores) or uppercla

vlada-n [284]

Following the table and knowing that the total number of students interviewed were 158 ( we can see this by looking adding either the total number of upperclassment or adding the total number of people with jobs or no jobs, this value is at the bottom right of the table in the figure attached).
Recall that:
$P(A\cup B)=P(A)+P(B)-P(A\cap B)$
In the figure provided each of these terms is highlighted in a different color. To convert these values to their matching probabilities we have to divide each by the total number of students, this is due to the fact that the probability is the number of favorable cases (in this case a group matching the qualities we seek) divided by the total amount of cases ( that is the total number of people interviewed). In the figure the answer is provided. For the intersection of the two events we're looking for people that is both an undercalssman and also has a job.

The population of two different villages is modeled by the equations shown

vlada-n [284]

Answer:

Year = 1995 and population = 315

Year = 2015 and population = 715

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the population of two different villages is modeled by the given equations:

$y=x^2-30x+540$

$y=20x+15$

The population of both villages are same after x years after 1980 if

$x^2-30x+540=20x+15$

$x^2-30x+540-20x-15=0$

$x^2-50x+525=0$

Splitting the middle term, we get

$x^2-15x-35x+525=0$

$x(x-15)-35(x-15)=0$

$(x-15)(x-35)=0$

$x=15,35$

It means, after 15 or 35 years, the population will same.

For x=15, years is $1980+15=1995$ and population is

$y=20(15)+15=315$

For x=35, years is $1980+35=2015$ and population is

$y=20(35)+15=715$ .

Therefore, population are equation in Year = 1995 and population = 315 or Year = 2015 and population = 715.

If A = 3r^2h^2, and (rh) increases by 100%, then the new A is how many times greater than the old A? PLEASE HELP ME!!! (Specify

Maslowich

Answer: the answer is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

An increase of 100% in the value of (rh) means the value doubles. When that doubled value is squared, the new area is 4 times the old area.The question asks how many times GREATER the new A is than the old A. 4 times AS LARGE AS is a 300% INCREASE, which is 3 TIMES LARGER THAN.So the grammatically correct answer is 3
