When you receive a loan to make a purchase, you often must make a down payment in cash. The amount of the loan is the purchase c

ost minus the down payment. Riva made a down payment of $1500 on a used car. She received a loan of $2600. Write and solve an equation to find the cost of the car.

Summarizing the problem, there are three terms that you have to deal with: purchasing cost, down payment and loan. So, you would expect that the answer would contain these quantities. Among them, the unknown is the purchasing cost, therefore, we denote this as x. 

<span>Based on the statement, "The amount of the loan is the purchase cost minus the down payment", we can formulate an equation for this. 

Amount of Loan = x - Down payment

This will be our working equation. Moving on, the down payment was mentioned to be equal to </span>$1500. The lean received is equal to <span>$2600. Substituting these values to the working equation, we can now determine the value of x.

2600 = x - 1500

Solving for x by transposing it to one side,

x = 2600-1500
x = $1,100

Therefore, the purchasing cost of the car is $1,100.</span>

18 less than half a number is 6
sammy [17]

Answer:

48

Step-by-step explanation:

18 less than half a number is 6.

So this is the formula:

X/2 - 18 = 6.

You can add 18 to 6.

X/2 = 24.

You can now multiply by 2.

X=48

A silk ribbon costs $5.60 for 0.8m. How much does 3.25m of this silk ribbon cost?
Varvara68 [4.7K]
We can first find how much the ribbon cost for 1m by setting an equation.

Let $y be the cost for 1m:

0.8y = 5.60
y = 5.60 ÷ 0.8
y = 7

Now that we know 1m of ribbon cost $7, we can proceed to find how much 3.25m ribbon cost by mutiplying the length with the cost:

7 x 3.25
=$22.75

Therefore the answer is $22.75.

Hope it helps!

PLEASE HELP <br> I forgot how to do this and it’s for a final :((
natima [27]
F(x)= 2/(x+1) and g(x)= -x2-12 => f(-7)= ? , g(2.5)= ?, g(f(- 0.5))= ?
In the expression of the function f(x) we will replace instead of x the number in bracket (-7) => f(-7) = 2/(-7+1)= 2/-6 = - 1/3
In the expression of the function g(x) we will replace instead of x number in bracket (2.5) => g(2.5) = - (2.5)squared -12= - 6.25 -12= - 18.25
Expression f(g(x)) or g(f(x)) is multiplication (composition) of the reflecting of functions f and g. We will do this in the following way => g(f(x))= g(2/(x+1))= -(2/(x+1))2 - 12= -(4/(x+1)2) -12= -4-12(x+1)2/(x+1)2=> we will replace instead of x the number in bracket (-0.5) or (-1/2) => g(f(-1/2) = -4-12((-1/2)+1)2/ ((-1/2+ 1)2= -4-12(1/2)2/(1/2)2=-4-12*(1/4)/(1/4)= (-4-3)/(1/4)=-28 
Eaisier way => f(-1/2)=2/((-1/2)+1)=2/(1/2)= 4  g(4) -(4)2-12 = -16-12= -28
