5 less than a number is equivalent to 1 more than three times the number

Mathematics
1 answer:
kifflom [539]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

x-5=3x+1 (x=-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

5 less (_-5)

than a number (x)

is equivalent to (=)

1 more than (+1)

than three times the number (3x)

combine them all to get x-5=3x+1

extra:

add 5 to each side x=3x+6

subtract x from each side 0=2x+6

subtract 6 from each side -6=2x

divide each side by 2 -3=x

Help please, and explain.
Korvikt [17]

Answer: 2x + y

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

logₐ(3) = x

logₐ(5) = y

logₐ(45) = logₐ(3²· 5)

             = logₐ(3)² + logₐ(5)

             = 2 logₐ(3) + logₐ(5)

             = 2     x      +   y        <em>substituted given values (stated above)</em>

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning.
Alborosie
Assume that the rule connecting height of the candle to time is a linear one.  If you do, then we have to find the equation of this line, and then use this equation to predict the height of the candle after 11 hours.

Two points on this line are (6,17.4) and (23, 7.2).  The slope is thus
         7.2-17.4           -6
m = ---------------  =  -----------  or   -3/5.
           23-6                 10

Find the equation of the line.  I'm going to use the slope-intercept formula:

y = mx + b  =>   7.2 = (-3/5)(23) + b.  Solving for b,   b = 21.

Now    we know that y = (-3/5)x + 21

Let x=11 to predict the height of the candle at that time.

y = (-3/5)(11) + 21 = 14.4 inches  (answer)
