Answer:

(n/4) - 5  =  2(n-14)

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n

"25% of n" : (25/100)n = n/4

"Five less than 25% of n" : (n/4) - 5  

"difference between the number and 14" : n - 14

" twice the difference between the number and 14" : 2(n-14)

Assembling all the parts:

(n/4) - 5  =  2(n-14)

1. It costs $3.45 to buy 3/4 lb of chopped walnuts. How much would it cost to purchase
konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

$34.50

Step-by-step explanation:

First, how many 3/4 lbs are in 7.5 lbs?

7.5 lbs = 15/2 lbs.

(15/2) / (3/4) = 10

There are 10 "3/4" lbs in 7.5 lbs.

So, if it costs $3.45 to purchase 3/4 lbs of chopped walnuts, it would cost $3.45 times 10 dollars to purchase 7.5 lbs of chopped walnuts, or $34.50.

Let me know if this helps!

In a certain month, Mason spent 1/6 of his salary in the first three days and $800 in the following ten days and after that he w
Nesterboy [21]
<h3>Answer:   $2400</h3>

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

Explanation:

x = Mason's salary in dollars for that month

x/6 = one-sixth of his salary

x/6+800 = total amount spent (the x/6 dollars and $800 combined)

In total, he spent half his salary. This means he spent x/2 dollars for the month overall.

Set the two items equal to one another. Solve for x.

x/6 + 800 = x/2

6(x/6 + 800) = 6*(x/2) ... see note at the bottom of the page

x+4800 = 3x

4800 = 3x-x

4800 = 2x

2x = 4800

x = 4800/2

x = 2400

His monthly salary is $2400

1/6 of this is (1/6)*2400 = 2400/6 = 400 dollars. Add on the $800 he also spent to get a total of 400+800 = 1200 dollars spent, which is exactly one half of the $2400. The answer is confirmed.

-------

Note: I multiplied both sides by 6 to clear out the fractions. The value 6 is the LCD in this case.

Which statements are true about the solution of 15 greater-than-or-equal-to 22 + x? Select three options. x greater-than-or-equa
Sidana [21]

Answer:

x \leq  -7

The graph has a closed circle.

–7 is part of the solution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

15 \geq 22 + x

Required

Select 3 options from the given list of options

15 \geq 22 + x

Subtract 22 from both sides

15 - 22 \geq 22 - 22+ x

-7 \geq x

Swap positions of the expression; Note that the inequality sign will change

x \leq  -7

This means  <em>x less-than-or-equal-to negative 7</em>

<em></em>

There are two options left to select;

The inequality sign in x \leq  -7 implies that the graph has a close circle.

Inequality signs such as \leq and  \geq signifies a close circle

There is only one option left to select;

Lastly;

Split the expression x \leq  -7 into two

We have:

x < -7 or x = -7

Because x = 7,

Then, -7 is also a part of the solution
