Four times the difference of a number and one is ten less than the number

The other number is -2.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Assume the other number is x. So 4 times the difference between x and 1 is equal to x-10. So we formulate the equation as

4(x -1) = x - 10,

4x - 4 = x - 10,

Transferring the unknown values to the left side and keeping the known values on the right we get

4x - x = -10 + 4,

3x = -6.

x = -2.

So the other number is -2.

Step 2; To check if we got the right number we substitute it into the given equation and see if it matches.

Equation is 4(x -1) = x - 10 substituting x=-2 we get,

4(-2 -1) = -2-10, - 12 = -12. Both sides are equal so the other number is -2.

Write in terms of i.<br> Simplify your answer as much as possible.<br> √−32
Effectus [21]
The letter i in mathematics represents √-1. So, keep in mind. i = √-1.

Let's factor √-32 with the i in mind.

√-32 =  √(32 *  -1) = √32 * √-1 = √32i. 

Just remember this formula: √-x = i√x

SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME ASAP PLEASE!!!​
Sergio [31]

Answer:

y = x - 5

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation given to us is;

y = x - 3

y = (1)x + (-3)

y = mx + c

Where m = slope of the line = 1

As parallel line have same slope, slope of second line is also 1

Use general equation to find line

y = mx + c

y = 1x + c

y = x + c

Substitute (3,-2) in the given equation:

-2 = 3 + c

c = -5

Substitute m=1 and c=-5 in general equation to find the equation of line:

y = mx + c

y = x - 5

2 boxes per minute. 1/3 of a minute, is 20 seconds. so 2/3 of a box is made every 20 sec. Now, if there are 3, 20 sec periods in a minute, so multiply 2/3 (0.666667) boxes by 3 =2 boxes
