Write an algebraic expression for 12 less than a number times 7

Answer: 7*N - 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's break this so is easier to interpret.

"12 less than a number"

if we call the number as N, this is written as:

N - 12

and the complete sentence is:

"12 less than a number times 7"

So we must multiply our number, N, by 7.

Then the expression is:

7*N - 12

Use lagrange multipliers to find the shortest distance, d, from the point (4, 0, −5 to the plane x y z = 1
Varvara68 [4.7K]
I assume there are some plus signs that aren't rendering for some reason, so that the plane should be x+y+z=1.

You're minimizing d(x,y,z)=\sqrt{(x-4)^2+y^2+(z+5)^2} subject to the constraint f(x,y,z)=x+y+z=1. Note that d(x,y,z) and d(x,y,z)^2 attain their extrema at the same values of x,y,z, so we'll be working with the squared distance to avoid working out some slightly more complicated partial derivatives later.

The Lagrangian is

L(x,y,z,\lambda)=(x-4)^2+y^2+(z+5)^2+\lambda(x+y+z-1)

Take your partial derivatives and set them equal to 0:

\begin{cases}\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial x}=2(x-4)+\lambda=0\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial y}=2y+\lambda=0\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial z}=2(z+5)+\lambda=0\\\\\dfrac{\partial L}{\partial\lambda}=x+y+z-1=0\end{cases}\implies\begin{cases}2x+\lambda=8\\2y+\lambda=0\\2z+\lambda=-10\\x+y+z=1\end{cases}

Adding the first three equations together yields

2x+2y+2z+3\lambda=2(x+y+z)+3\lambda=2+3\lambda=-2\implies \lambda=-\dfrac43

and plugging this into the first three equations, you find a critical point at (x,y,z)=\left(\dfrac{14}3,\dfrac23,-\dfrac{13}3\right).

The squared distance is then d\left(\dfrac{14}3,\dfrac23,-\dfrac{13}3\right)^2=\dfrac43, which means the shortest distance must be \sqrt{\dfrac43}=\dfrac2{\sqrt3}.

A. subtract the bottom equation from the top equation

Step-by-step explanation:

The elimination method for solving systems of linear equations uses the addition property of equality. You can add the same value to each side of an equation. So if you have a system: x – 6 = −6 and x + y = 8, you can add x + y to the left side of the first equation and add 8 to the right side of the equation.

Piper can read 26 pages in an hour. Last summer she read for 112.5 hours. How many pages did Piper read last summer?
Marat540 [252]
The answer is 2,925 
to get the answer: 26*112=2912   .5 equals half an hour so half the pages
so you add 2912 + 13= 2925

6. A landscaping company ordered 13 plants and 4 trees for a total of $487. If plants are $8 each write and solve a linear equat
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:95.75

Step-by-step explanation:

13x + 4y = 487

13*8 + 4y = 487

4y = 487 - 13*8

y = (487 - 13*8)/4

y = dollars per tree = 95.75
