Steve sells half of his comic books and then buys 6 more now he has 14 comic books

Let b be the initial amount of books. Steve sells half of his books, so the number of Steve's books become

b \to \dfrac{b}{2}

Then, he buys 6 more, so the number increases by 6:

\dfrac{b}{2} \to \dfrac{b}{2}+6

This number is now 14, so you have

\dfrac{b}{2}+6 = 14

Subtract 6 from both sides:

\dfrac{b}{2} = 8

Multiply both sides by 2:

b = 16

c/2+6=14

Subtract 6 from both sides.

c/2=8

Multiply both sides by 2.

c=16

Check your work by plugging 16 into the equation.

16/2+6=14

8+6=14

That's correct, 8+6 is 14, so the answer is that C (the number of comic books) is 16.

Steve started with 16 comic books.

I believe that's the answer to the question you meant to ask. But just to recap, the question I answered would be "How many comic books did Steve have at first?" or "How many comic books did Steve start out with?" or something similar. I hope that this answer helps!

Probability cards <br> How to solve this, I don’t get it all all?
Ronch [10]
There are 12 cards with different letters & patterns. The probability of randomly choosing [random card] is #[random card]/total cards.

Think of that as ratio as a %chance or probability of written as P(X). The question says to write the %chance as a fraction.

1) 2/12 = 1/6
2) 2/12 = 1/6
3) 0/12 = 0
4) 12/12 = 1
5) This is tricky. M & T would imply one card with both letters on it. 0/12 = 0
6) 4/12 = 1/3
7) 6/12 = 1/2
8) 5/12
9) 3/12 = 1/4
10) 8/12 = 2/3
11) 10/12 = 5/6
12) Odds = [favorable]:[unfavorable] = 5:7

F(x)=2x^2-3x+7 evaluate f(-2)
Vilka [71]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find two linear functions p(x) and q(x) such that (p (f(q(x)))) (x) = x^2 for any x is a member of R?

Let  p(x)=kpx+dp  and  q(x)=kqx+dq  than

f(q(x))=−2(kqx+dq)2+3(kqx+dq)−7=−2(kqx)2−4kqx−2d2q+3kqx+3dq−7=−2(kqx)2−kqx−2d2q+3dq−7  

p(f(q(x))=−2kp(kqx)2−kpkqx−2kpd2p+3kpdq−7  

(p(f(q(x)))(x)=−2kpk2qx3−kpkqx2−x(2kpd2p−3kpdq+7)  

So you want:

−2kpk2q=0  

and

kpkq=−1  

and

2kpd2p−3kpdq+7=0  

Now I amfraid this doesn’t work as  −2kpk2q=0  that either  kp  or  kq  is zero but than their product can’t be anything but  0  not  −1 .

Answer: there are no such linear functions.
