Twice the sum of a certain number and 73 is 156

1 answer:

8 0

X= a number

Twice the sum of a number (x) plus 73 equals 156.

EQUATION:
2(x + 73)= 156

Not sure if you need to solve it too, but here's how to solve:

2(x + 73)= 156
multiply 2 by all in parentheses

(2*x) + (2*73)= 156
2x + 146= 156

subtract 146 from both sides
2x= 10

divide both sides by 2
x= 5

The missing number is 5.

CHECK:
2(x + 73)= 156
2(5 + 73)= 156
2(78)= 156
156= 156

Hope this helps! :)

Question 12 Multiple Choice Worth 1 points)(07.05 MC)1086Which of the following functions best represents the graph?fix)=(x-2)(x

vlada-n [284]

The graph of a function is given. It is required to find the function that represents the graph.

Notice from the graph that the function has roots or zeros at -3,-2, and 2.

Hence, the function takes the form:

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=a(x-(-3))(x-(-2))(x-2) \\ \Rightarrow f(x)=a(x+3)(x+2)(x-2) \end{gathered}$

Where a is a constant to be determined.

Notice that the given graph passes through the point (0,-12).

Substitute x=0 and f(x)=-12 into the equation of the function to find a:

$\begin{gathered} -12=a(0+3)(0+2)(0-2) \\ \Rightarrow-12=a(3)(2)(-2) \\ \Rightarrow-12=-12a \\ \text{ Swap the sides of the equation:} \\ \Rightarrow-12a=-12 \\ \text{ Divide both sides by }-12: \\ \Rightarrow\frac{-12a}{-12}=\frac{-12}{-12} \\ \Rightarrow a=1 \end{gathered}$

Hence, the function is:

$\begin{gathered} f(x)=1(x+3)(x+2)(x-2) \\ \Rightarrow f(x)=(x+2)(x+3)(x-2) \end{gathered}$ <h2>The third option is the answer: f(x)=(x+2)(x+3)(x-2).</h2>

The value of y varies directly with x. When y = 25, x = 6 1/4. What is the value of y when x is 12? 4

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

if y = 25 when x = 6 1/4, then when y = 12, that would mean that we divided 25 by 2.0833. So we can do 6 1/4 divided by 2.0833 is the answer which is 3.00004800077.
