Answer:

$2$

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $x$ be that certain number.

Two is equal to 4 less than 3 times $x$

$2=3x-4$

$2+4=3x$

$6=3x$

$6/3=3x/3$

$2=x$

That certain number is $2$ .

Solve for x.<br><br> x-2.13 = 5.3

MissTica

X-2.13=5.3 x= 5.3 + 2.13 x = 7.43
+2.13

Process:
Start by isolating the variable by itself, in this case we add 2.13 to the -2.13 as whatever we do to one side of the equation we do to the other hence we add 2.13 to 5.3 which will become x = 7.43 and we can verify our answer by substituting our answer for x
7.43 - 2.13 = 5.3

Alexis washes 10 1/2 windows in 3/4 hours. At this rate, how many windows can she wash in one hour?

Zepler [3.9K]

Alexis can wash a total of 14 windows in 1 hour

<h3><u>Solution:</u></h3>

Given that Alexis washes $10\frac{1}{2}$ windows in $\frac{3}{4}$ hours

<u><em>To find: </em></u>number of windows washed in one hour

To simplify the calculations we will convert the given mixed fraction to improper fraction

$\begin{array}{l}{=10 \frac{1}{2}} \\\\ {=\frac{2 \times 10+1}{2}} \\\\ {=\frac{21}{2}=10.5}\end{array}$

Hence, to wash 10.5 windows, Alexis takes 0.75 hours

Let "n" be the number of windows washed in 1 hour

10.5 windows ⇒ 0.75 hours

"n" windows ⇒ 1 hour

By cross-multiplication we get,

$n \times 0.75 = 10.5 \times 1$

$n = \frac{10.5}{0.75} \\\\n = 14$

Thus Alexis can wash 14 windows in one hour

Answer:

y-intercept: (0, 3)
axis of symmetry: x = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept is the constant, 3. It is the value of f(0).

__

The axis of symmetry of the quadratic function ...

f(x) = ax^2 +bx +c

is ...

x = -b/(2a)

Here, using that formula gives ...

x = -(2a)/(2(a)) = -1

The axis of symmetry is x = -1.
