Three less than eight times the number is equal to half of 16 times the number after it was increased by one

Mathematics

Answer:

1) The question is aimed to determine the number that Laura is trying to come up with.

Such question is solved by stating an algebraic equation from the word statement, which is done step by step.

2) Using the name x for the unknown, the expression "three less than 8 times the number" is translated to: 8x - 3

3) The expression "half of 16 times the number after it was increased by 1" is translated to: (1/2) (16x + 1)

4) Finally, since they are equal, you can set the equation:

8x - 3 =  (1/2) (16x + 1)

5) And solve for x in this way:

i) Distributive property:

8x - 3 = 8x + 1/2

ii) At this stage you can see that the both 8x terms (on the left and on the right) cancel each other, which leads to the impossibility to determine the value of the unknown:

-3 = 1/2 which is alwasy false, meaning that the equation has no solution.

irina1246 [14]

Answer: Statements 1 and 2 shows that the coach blowing the whistle happened first.

Step-by-step explanation: The coach blowing the whistle as the first event can be seen only from statements 1 and 2 only.

From statement 1, "the referee blew the whistle" was followed by "the team ran onto the field."

From statement 2, "before the team ran onto the field" shows clearly that one event took place "BEFORE" the one being reported and the one that occurred before this one was "the referee blew the whistle."

Statement 3 which is "the referee blew the whistle, BUT..." indicates that the whistle was meant to prevent the team from from running onto the field. So if the referee blew the whistle, but the team ran onto the field, it means the whistle blowing was not supposed to make them run onto the field.

Statement 4, which states that "the referee blew the whistle BECAUSE the team ran onto the field" indicates that, the reason for blowing the whistle was because the team ran onto the field which clearly shows that the team ran onto the field first before the referee blew the whistle.

Statement 5, "WHILE the team ran onto the field..." clearly shows that both events took place at the same moment, and so the referee blowing the whistle could not have occurred first.

<h2><em><u>Answer:</u></em></h2>

Total Surface Area = 375 ft^2

<h2><em><u>Step-by-step explanation:</u></em></h2>

You need to find the area of the ceiling, floor, the two rectangle walls and the two trapezoid walls

<u>Area of the ceiling:</u>

c = length * width

c = 9*6.5 = 58.5

<u>Area of the 2 rectangle walls:</u>

w = 2(length * width)

w = 2(9 * 8)

w = 2(72)

w = 144

<u>Area of floor:</u>

f = 9 * 7.5

f = 67.5

<u>Area of the two trapezoids:</u>

t = 2(h * \frac{a + b}{2})

a = 6.5

b = 7.5

h = 7.5

t = 2(h * \frac{a + b}{2})

t = 2(7.5 * \frac{6.5 + 7.5}{2})

t = 2(7.5 * \frac{14}{2})

t = 2(7.5 * 7)

t = 2(52.5)

t = 105

Total Surface Area = c + w + f + t

Total Surface Area = 58.5 + 144 + 67.5 + 105

Total Surface Area = 375 ft^2
