Twice a number, added to seven, is the same

Mathematics
1 answer:
eduard2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Your number is -10

Hope this helps :)

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

 

Twice a number is 2x

Added to 7 means + 7 so 2x + 7

Is means =

2x+7=

 

At this point I have to assume you mean

"is the same as three subtracted from THE SAME number"

Otherwise, rather than a number, we end up with the

equation of a line....

 

2x + 7 = x - 3   subtract x from both sides

x + 7 = -3        subtract 7 from both sides

x = -10

 

Your number is -10

 

Check:  2x+7 = x-3

           2(-10) + 7 = -10-3

           -20+7 = -13

            -13 = -13

            The answer fits the parameters of the problem.

(a) Derive an equation of the line passing through the points A(0, 545) and B(4, 726). (Let t be the independent variable and y
a_sh-v [17]

Answer:

The equation of the line is y=45.25t+545

Step-by-step explanation:

The general for of a line is:

y=mt+n       (1)

where:

m is the slope of the line and m is the intercept with the axis of the dependent variable, y in this case.

In order to obtain the value of the slope (m) we can use the corresponding slope formula:

m=\frac{y_{2}-y_1 }{t_2-t_1}         (2)

where t_1, t_2, y_1 and y_2 are the corresponding coordinates of the given points. In this case:

t_1=0\\t_2=4\\y_1=545\\y_2=726\\

Substituting these values in equation (2) we obtain:

m=\frac{726-545}{4-0}=\frac{181}{4}=45.25\\m=45.25

Hence, the line equation is now:

y=45.25t+n     (3)

Now to obtain the value of n you can follow two options:

  1. You can substitute one of your points, A or B, in equation (3). In this way, you will obtain an equation where the variable is n

Note that for this question, it is easier to select point A because of having the independent variable equals to zero t=0. Hence, substituting point A in equation (3):

45.25*0+n=545\\n=545

Therefore, the line equation is: y=45.25t+545

The second option to find n is to think of the meaning of the <em>intercept</em>. The <em>intercept </em>of a line is defined as the point in which the line crosses the axis of the dependent variable, which also means that the value of the independent variable for this point is zero. From this, we could have automatically said that n is equal to 545.

See the attachment for a plot of the line.

In ¾ pound of a banana bread, there is ½ cup of cinnamon. How much cinnamon does the bread contain per pound?
Shkiper50 [21]

1 pound of bread contains \frac{2}{3} cups of cinnamon.

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

Given that , In \frac{3}{4} pound of a banana bread, there is \frac{1}{2} cup of cinnamon

<em><u>To find:</u></em>

Amount of cinnamon per pound in bread

Let "n" be the cinnamon per pound present in bread

\frac{3}{4} pound of banana bread ⇒ \frac{1}{2} cup of cinnamon

Then, 1 pound of bread ⇒ n cups of cinnamon

Now, let us use criss cross method (i.e. multiplying the diagonal ordered terms and equating them)

\begin{array}{l}{\rightarrow n \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2} \times 1} \\\\ {\rightarrow n \times \frac{3}{4}=\frac{1}{2}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=\frac{1}{2} \times \frac{4}{3}} \\\\ {\rightarrow n=\frac{2}{3}}\end{array}

Hence, 1 pound of bread contains \frac{2}{3} cups of cinnamon.

Arian is making bracelets. For each bracelet, it takes 1/10 of hour to pick out materials and 1/4 hour to braid it together. How
-Dominant- [34]
Change everything into 10ths as follows:

1/10 + 2.5/10 = 3.5/10 of an hour to make one bracelet. Then change to 20ths so the numerator is a whole number.
Divide your time available by the time it takes to make one.
