MatroZZZ [7]3 years ago
5 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make the number we're finding to be a. So, it says that it will be divided by 4 and then added by 12 if we want this in algebraic expression it will be \frac{a}{4} +12\\. It's also telling us that that expression is the same thing as our number divided by 3 and subtracted by 5. If we want an expression out of it it well be \frac{a}{3} -5\\. Since they are the same, we have the equation below.

\frac{a}{4} +12 = \frac{a}{3} -5\\

All we have to do now is to find a.

\frac{a}{4} +12 = \frac{a}{3} -5 \\ \frac{a +48}{4} = \frac{a -15}{3} \\ (3)(a +48) = (a - 15)(4) \\ 3a +144 = 4a -60 \\ (60 -3a) + 3a +144 = 4a -60 +(60 -3a) \\ a = 204

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Our number must be 204. I think

Draw and label a rectangular prism that has a surface area of 96 square meters.
Mashcka [7]
Basically what you need to do is draw 4 congruent rectangles and 2 comgriemt squares (The six sides of a rectangular prism). The sum of the area of these six quadrilaterals should equal 96. This would be my thought process.

Step 1: Sketch a Rectangular Prism

Step 2: Make some educated guesses on some possible side measurements for the quadrilaterals that form the prism.

Step 3: Guess and Check until the amount equals 96.

So we can guess that the sides of the rectangle might equal 2 and 3 units.

This would be 6 for the area. Times 4 for each of the 4 Rectangles. (24) and add the area of the ends of the prism (2*2*2) which is 8 and you will get 32.

Since we are looking for a surface area of 96 and not 32, we can assume that a 3*2*2 prism is not what we need. So we can try again with other values.

Let's try 6*3*3. 6*3*4 for the four rectangles plus 3*3*2 for the ends.

What's the volume? <br><br><br> I honestly just need the formula.
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

v=364.5\ m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Volume Of A Regular Solid</u>

When a solid has a constant cross-section, the volume can be found by multiplying the area of the base by the height. The area of a trapezium is

\displaystyle A_t=\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}h

where b_1 and b_2 are the lengths of the parallel sides and h the distance between them.

The figure shows a solid with a trapezoid as the constant cross-section and a height x. The volume of the solid is

\displaystyle v=A_t\ x

\displaystyle v=\frac{b_1+b_2}{2}\ h\ x

The image doesn't explicitly say if the length of 4.5 is the height of the trapezium or the length of that side. We'll assume the first, so our data is:

\displaystyle b_1=7m,\ b_2=11m,\ h=4.5m,\ x=9m

We now compute the volume

\displaystyle v=\frac{7+11}{2}.(4.5)(9)=364.5

\boxed{\displaystyle v=364.5\ m^3}

Which is an equation of the line containing the points (2, 5) and (4, 4) in standard form?
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

  x +2y = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Try the given points in the given equations and see what works.

  -2x + 5y at (2, 5) is -2(2) +5(5) = 21 ≠ 12

) +)   2x + y at (2, 5) = 2(2) +(5) = 9 ≠ 12

  x + 2y at (2, 5) = 2 +2(5) = 12 . . . . . goes through first point

  x + 2y at (4, 4) = 4 + 2(4) = 12 . . . . goes through second point

__

You know the answer at this point, so the next check is just for "completeness." It is not necessary to properly answer the question.

  -x +2y at (2, 5) = -(2) +2(5) = 8 . . . . goes through first point

  -x +2y at (4, 4) = -(4) + 4(4) = 4 ≠ 8 . . . does not go through second point

The population of a certain country in 1996 was 286 million people. In​ addition, the population of the country was growing at a
Fudgin [204]

Answer:

A) In 2004 the population will reach 306 million.

B) In 2033 the population will reach 386 million.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The population of a certain country in 1996 was 286 million people. In​ addition, the population of the country was growing at a rate of 0.8​% per year. Assuming that this growth rate​ continues, the model P(t) = 286(1.008 )^{t-1996} represents the population P​ (in millions of​ people) in year t.

To find : According to this​ model, when will the population of the country reach A. 306 million? B. 386 million?

Solution :

The model represent the population is P(t) = 286(1.008 )^{t-1996}

Where, P represents the population in million.

t represents the time.

A) When population P=306 million.

306 = 286(1.008 )^{t-1996}

\frac{306}{286}=(1.008 )^{t-1996}

1.0699=(1.008 )^{t-1996}

Taking log both side,

\log(1.0699)=\log((1.008 )^{t-1996})

\log(1.0699)=(t-1996)\log(1.008)  

\frac{\log(1.0699)}{\log(1.008)}=(t-1996)  

8.479=t-1996  

t=8.479+1996

t=2004.47

t\approx2004

Therefore, In 2004 the population will reach 306 million.

B) When population P=386 million.

386 = 286(1.008 )^{t-1996}

\frac{386}{286}=(1.008 )^{t-1996}

1.3496=(1.008 )^{t-1996}

Taking log both side,

\log(1.3496)=\log((1.008 )^{t-1996})

\log(1.3496)=(t-1996)\log(1.008)  

\frac{\log(1.3496)}{\log(1.008)}=(t-1996)  

37.625=t-1996  

t=37.625+1996

t=2033.625

t\approx2033

Therefore, In 2033 the population will reach 386 million.
