let the number

then 4 times the number

and 4 times the number increased by 15

also 6 times the number

and 3 less than 6 times the number

−

equating the two expressions gives the equation

−

←

solve for x

subtract 6x from both sides

−

⇒

−

subtract 15 from both sides

Not including four play in games, there are 64 teams in the tournament. once a team loses one game they are eliminated. how many

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Every time teams play with each other (assuming there are no draws) half of them win
and the others get eliminated so
64÷2=32 32 games played and 32 teams eliminated
32÷2=16 16 games played and 16 teams eliminated
16÷2=8 the same goes here
8÷2=4 and here
4÷2=2 .
2÷2=1 .

32+16+8+4+2+1=63 games

Mr. McGloughlin’s horses eat a total of 19 liters 2 deciliters of rolled oats, and drink a total of 46 liters 4 deciliters of wa

Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

459.2 liters.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us convert our given amount of rolled oats and water in deciliters.

1 liter = 10 deciliters

19 liters = 19*10 deciliters = 190 deciliters.

$\text{Total amount of rolled oats consumed per day}=(190+2)\text{ deciliters}$

$\text{Total amount of rolled oats consumed per day}=192\text{ deciliters}$

46 liters=46*10=460 deciliters

$\text{Total amount of water consumed per day}=(460+4)\text{ deciliters}$

$\text{Total amount of water consumed per day}=464\text{ deciliters}$

Now let us find weekly consumption of oats and water by multiplying daily consumption of both items by 7.

$\text{Total weekly consumption of oats and water}=7*(464+192)\text{ deciliters}$

$\text{Total weekly consumption of oats and water}=7*(656)\text{ deciliters}$

$\text{Total weekly consumption of oats and water}=4592\text{ deciliters}$

Let us convert weekly consumption of water and oats into liters.

$\text{Total weekly consumption of oats and water}=\frac{4592\text{ deciliters}}{10\frac{\text{ deciliters}}{\text{liter}}}$

$\text{Total weekly consumption of oats and water}=\frac{4592\text{ deciliters}}{10}\cdot\frac{\text{ liters}}{\text{ deciliters}}}$

$\text{Total weekly consumption of oats and water}=\frac{4592}{10}\text{ liters}$

$\text{Total weekly consumption of oats and water}=459.2\text{ liters}$

Therefore, total weekly combined consumption of oats and water is 459.2 liters.

A contractor is in charge of hiring people for a construction project. The number of days it would take to complete the project

sweet-ann [11.9K]

Answer:

$\text{Domain of x}=[1,\infty), x \in Z^+$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the function: $f(x)=\dfrac{280}{x},$ where:$

f(x) =number of days it would take to complete the project

x =number of full-time workers.

$\text{When x=0, }f(x)=\dfrac{280}{0}=$Undetermined\\\text{When x=1, }f(x)=\dfrac{280}{1}=$280 days\\\text{When x=280, }f(x)=\dfrac{280}{280}=$1 day\\\text{When x=560, }f(x)=\dfrac{280}{560}=$0.5 days$

The domain of a function is the complete set of possible values of the independent variable.

In this case, the independent variable is x, the number of full-time workers. We have shown that x cannot be zero as there must be at least a worker on ground.

Therefore, an appropriate domain of the function f(x) is the set of positive integers (from 1 to infinity).

$\text{Domain of x}=[1,\infty), x \in Z^+$
