If 3 is added to twice a number, the result is 17. Find the number

Mathematics
1 answer:
Crank3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

The text of this expression is:

"If 3 is added to twice a number, the result is 17. Find the number"

Let's call x the number we want to find.

Twice the number is equal to

2x

So, if we add 3 to 2x, we get

3+2x

And we know that this is equal to 17:

3+2x=17

Now we can solve the equation to find x: first, we subtract 3 from both sides

3+2x-3=17-3\\2x=14

Now we divide both sides by 2:

\frac{2x}{2}=\frac{14}{2}\\x=7

A cross section is made by the intersection of a plane and a square pyramid at an angle either parallel or perpendicular to the
alukav5142 [94]
A cross section is the two dimensional shape that is created when a slice is made through a solid figure by an intersection of a plane and the solid body.

A square pyramid is a pyramid with a square base.

Case 1: When the plane intersects the square pyramid at an angle perpendicular to the base but not through the vertex. In this case a trapezoid is formed.

Case 2: When the plane intersects the square pyramid at an angle perpendicular to the base and through the vertex. In this case a triangle is formed.

Case 3: When the plane intersects the square pyramid at an angle parallel to the base. In this case a square is formed.

<span>Therefore, a cross section made by the intersection of a plane and a square pyramid at an angle either parallel or perpendicular to the base can be of shapes:

-square
-triangle
-trapezoid</span>

When making a long distance call from a certain pay phone, the first three minutes of a call cost $2.10. After that, each additi
Sauron [17]

Answer: the number of minutes of long distance call that one can make is lesser than or equal to 12 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of minutes of long distance call that one makes.

The first three minutes of a call cost $2.10. After that, each additional minute or portion of a minute of that call cost $0.45. This means that if x minutes of long distance call is made, the total cost would be

2.10 + 0.45(x - 3)

Therefore, the inequality to find the number of minutes one can call long distance for $6.15 is expressed as

2.10 + 0.45(x - 3) ≤ 6.15

2.10 + 0.45x - 1.35 ≤ 6.15

0.75 + 0.45x ≤ 6.15

0.45x ≤ 6.15 - 0.75

0.45x ≤ 5.4

x ≤ 5.4/0.45

x ≤ 12

If the sum of all interior angles of a regular polygon is 1080 degrees then number of sides of the polygon is?
MakcuM [25]

Answer:  8

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

The formula for the sum of the angles of a polynomial is:

S_n=180(n-2)

1080 = 180(n - 2)

1080 = 180n - 360

1440 = 180n

8 = n
