X - 2 = (1/2)x + 6
x = (1/2)x + 8
(1/2)x = 8
x = 16

Let the number be x.

x - 2 =  (x/2) + 6

Let us go ahead and solve the equation.

x - x/2 = 6 + 2

x/2 = 8

x = 2*8

x = 16

So the number is 16.

Hope this explains it.

The line represented by y = 3x − 2 and a line perpendicular to it intersect at R(3, 7). What is the equation of the perpendicula
laiz [17]

Answer:

y= -1/3(x) + 8

Step-by-step explanation:

slope of the 1st line = 3

slope of the line perpendicular to the first is its opposite reciprocal, so

slope of the 2nd line = -1/3

now we have a point and the slope of the perpendicular line, so we use the point slope formula to get:

y-7=-1/3(x-3)

y= -1/3(x) + 1 + 7

y= -1/3(x) + 8

How did the temperature change if :
Mkey [24]
<h3>Answer: Net Increase of 26%</h3>

===================================================

Explanation:

If it increases by 5%, then we use the multiplier 1.05

Think of it like saying 100% + 5% = 1 + 0.05 = 1.05

Similarly, an increase of 20% means we involve 1.20

Combine those multipliers to get: 1.05*1.20 = 1.26

This is a net increase of 26%

Interestingly, we get fairly close to 25% which is what many students might go for (since 5 + 20 = 25). This is a beginner's trap.

----------------

An example:

Let's say the temperature is 20 degrees Celsius (68 degrees Fahrenheit)

An increase of 5% means it moves to 1.05*20 = 21 degrees C

A 20% increase means we go to 1.20*21 = 25.2 degrees C

The shortcut would be to do a 26% increase to get 1.26*20 = 25.2 to help confirm we have the correct combined increase.

An unopened cereal box contains `15/28` cubic foot of cereal. If the box is full, and the length and height of the box are `5/7`
babymother [125]

Answer:

A. `1/2` foot

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the width of the box is shown below:

15 ÷ 28 = (5 ÷ 7)(1 1 ÷ 2)(width)

15 ÷ 28 = (5 ÷ 7)(3 ÷ 2)width

15 ÷ 28 = (15 ÷ 14)width

(15 ÷ 28) ÷ (15 ÷ 14) = width

(15 ÷ 28) × (14 ÷ 15) = width

w = 14 ÷ 28

= 1 ÷ 2 ft
