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.

There were 12,608 visitors to a museum in June. What is this number rounded to the nearest ten thousand? Complete the explanatio
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

The rounded number is 10,000.

Step-by-step explanation:

Rounding means making a number simpler but keeping its value close to what it was.

The digit in the ten thousands place is 1.

The digit to its right is 2, so the digit in the ten thousands place stays the same.

Leave it the same if the next digit is less than 5, this is called rounding down. And increase it by 1 if the next digit is 5 or more, this is called rounding up

What is parallel to y=3x+1<br> you can only use the numbers 3,-2,1,4,-1,0,2,5 and put it in y= x +
DiKsa [7]

Answer:

y=3x+1

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallel line has the same slope as the other line.

y=mx+b, m is the slope

Thus in y=3x+1, m =3

y = 3x + b

plug in points (1, 4) to determine b

4 = 3(1) + b

4 = 3 + b

subtract 3 on both sides

4 - 3 = b

b = 1

y = 3x + 1

5mn^4 • 5m^2 n^3<br><br>Does that even makes sense <br><br>​
xeze [42]

Answer:

25m^3n^7

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's write out the equation

5mn^4 • 5m^2n^3

When we multiply exponents with similar bases, you add them together.

For example 2^2 • 2^2= 2^4

Numbers with no exponent are to the power of one

For example: 2= 2^1

Now that we know this, let's combine like terms

5 • 5=25

m^1•m^2=m^3

n^4•n^3=n^7

Answer: 25m^3n^7
