Answer:

There were 186 Springfield robberies in 2011

Step-by-step explanation:

Think about what happens when you double a number.

You multiply it by 2. Since it's been doubles, we say is has had a 100% increase.

Likewise a 50% increase correlates to multiply by 1.5

Since we are trying to find the previous amount that experienced the increase, we divide by 1.5 to find the original amount because that amount*1.5 gives us 279.

Calling the original <em>r</em>, it is clear that 1.5<em>r</em>=279.

Solving for <em>r, </em>we find the original # of robberies to be 186.

Rewrite the following equation in standard form and determine if there is a solution.
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

| x + 4 |  = -1    No solution

Step-by-step explanation:

                                                 3 | x + 4 | + 12 = 9

Subtract 12 from both sides:         3 | x + 4 |  = -3

Divide both sides by 3:                     | x + 4 |  = -1

Absolute value cannot be negative, so there is no solution.

The difference of the square of a number and 10 is equal to 3 times that number. Find the negative solution.
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call the number x. The statement tells us that

x^2 - 10 = 3x, or

x^2-3x-10 = 0

Factoring:

(x-5)(x+2) = 0. Here, we see that there are two solutions: x = 5 and x = -2. So, the negative solution is x = -2.

Mariulka [41]

Answer:

0.225 \Omega =225 m\Omega

Step-by-step explanation:

We know (Ohm second law) that R= \frac{k}{d^2} where k inlcudes the rest of the parameters (material, lenght). In our situation we have k= 0.4\cdot9 \Omega mm^2. The moment the diameter becomes 8mm R becomes

R= {{0.4\cdot 9}\over{16}} \Omega = 0.225 \Omega
