Obviously this will be a negative number
-2 - 14 = 5x - 3x
-16 = 2x
x = %28-16%29%2F2
x = -8 is the number
:
:
Check solution in the original statement: x=-8
3(-8) - 2 = 5(-8) + 14
-24 - 2 = -40 + 14
-26 = -26
Marcario should use 4 pounds of macadamia nuts and 8 pounds of almonds.
Explanation
given
cost of macadamia nuts per pound=$9
cost of almond nuts per pound=$5.25
cost of the mixture per pound=$6.5
total pounds of the mixture to be made=12
let the pounds of macadamia nuts=x
pounds of almond nuts=y
total pounds of nuts=x+y=12
solving (1) and (2)
x=4
y=8
Answer:
There are 327,811 doctors.
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage of female doctors = 
%
Number of female doctors = 
Percentage of Male doctors = 
%
=
%
So if doctors are represented by how many doctors are represented by 
%?
% represents total number of doctors.
⇒
=327,810.65
Number of doctors has to be a whole number so we rounf off the number to nearest whole number:
Therefore there are 327,811 doctors.
Notice that <em>f(x)</em> is only defined over the intervals 0 ≤ <em>x</em> < 3 and 3 < <em>x</em> ≤ 6; that is, all real numbers <em>x</em> between 0 and 3, and between 3 and 6, but <u>not including 3</u>. Since there is no definition for <em>f(x)</em> at <em>x</em> = 3, the value of <em>f</em> (3) is undefined.
Answer: 4z + 3
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of books read by Zeke = z
Michelle read twice as many book as Zeke. This will be: = 2 × z = 2z
Tay read 3 more books than Zeke. This will be: = z + 3
The expression that represents the total number of books read over the summer by Zeke, Michelle and Tay would be the addition of the books read by each person. This will be:
= z + 2z + z + 3
= 4z + 3
