Answer:

21 mails

Step-by-step explanation:

Let there are x no of texts and y no of emails.

Condition 1,

x+y = 20 ...(1)

Condition,

x=2y-1 ...(2)

Put the value of x from equation (2) in (1). So,

(2y-1)+y = 20

Taking like terms together,

2y-y=20+1

y=21

So, Devin sent 21 mails,.

If y is 5 when x is 2.5 and y varies directly with x, find y when x is 10
ikadub [295]

Answer:

If x varies directly as y, then x=ky. y=5 and x=2.5 are substituted into x=ky to find k.

2.5=5k

k=2.5/5

k=5.

K =5 is substituted in x=ky to find y where x is 10.

x=5y

10=5y

y=10/2

y=2

Simplify 3/4(1/2×-12)+4/5​
Wittaler [7]

Answer: \frac{3}{8}x-\frac{41}{5} or  \frac{3}{8}x-8\ \frac{1}{5}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following expression:

\frac{3}{4}(\frac{1}{2}x-12)+\frac{4}{5}

You can follow these steps in order to simplify it:

1.  You need to apply Distributive property:

=\frac{3}{8}x-9+\frac{4}{5}

2. And now you must add the like terms. Then:

=\frac{3}{8}x-\frac{41}{5}

Therefore you get the following answer:

\frac{3}{8}x-\frac{41}{5} or  \frac{3}{8}x-8\ \frac{1}{5}

Solve the equation using the quadratic formula. Enter each solution in simplest form.
sergeinik [125]

For this case we have the following quadratic equation:

x ^ 2-4x + 23 = 0

The solutions will be given by:

x = \frac {-b \pm \sqrt {b ^ 2-4 (a) (c)}} {2a}

Where:

a = 1\\b = -4\\c = 23

Substituting the values we have:

x = \frac {- (- 4) \pm \sqrt {(- 4) ^ 2-4 (1) (23)}} {2 (1)}\\x = \frac {4 \pm \sqrt {16-92}} {2}\\x = \frac {4 \pm \sqrt {-76}} {2}\\x = \frac {4 \pm \sqrt {76i ^ 2}} {2}\\x = \frac {4 \pmi \sqrt {76}} {2}\\x = \frac {4 \pmi \sqrt {2 ^ 2 * 19}} {2}\\x = \frac {4 \pm2i \sqrt {19}} {2}\\x = 2 \pm i\sqrt {19}

We have two roots:

x_ {1} = 2-i \sqrt {19}\\x_ {2} = 2 + i \sqrt {19}

ANswer:

x_ {1} = 2-i\sqrt {19}\\x_ {2} = 2 + i\sqrt {19}

Answer:

2, 1, 1/2, 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

2¹ = 2

2^0 = 1

2^-¹

= 1/2¹

= 1/2

2^-2

= 1/2²

= 1/2*2

= 1/4

To complete the table

2² 2¹ 2^0 2^-1 2^-2

4 2 1 1/2 1/4
