I think of a number. I multiply it by 7. I add 12. The result is 40. What is the number I am thinking of?

The number that you are thinking of is 4. To get this answer I did the opposite of how you received your answer.
40 - 12 = 28
28 ÷ 4 = 7
The number that you are thinking of is 4.

Jenson has a basket containing oranges, apples, and pears. He picks a piece of fruit from the basket 40 times, replacing the fru

katovenus [111]

Answer:In this question, we're trying to find how many apples Jenson picked from the basket.

Lets gather information that can help us.

Important information:

Picked a fruit from a basket 40 times

Probability of picking an apple is 0.3

With the information above, we can solve the question.

We know that he picked up a fruit 40 times, but we need to find how many apples he picked up during the 40 times.

The probability of picking an apple is 0.3, which is equivalent to 30%

This means that 30% of the 40 times he picked an apple.

We would multiply 40 by 0.3 to get our answer.

This means that Jenson picked 12 apples.

I hope this helped you out.

Good luck on your academics.

Have a fantastic day!

The number of comic books is an illustration of a linear function

The complete equations are: $\mathbf{8b + 17 =65}$ and $\mathbf{b =6}$
The value of b has increased by 4

She had 17 comic books already.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Base\ Amount = 17}$

Her order of 65 books contains 8 comic books per collection.

So, we have:

$\mathbf{Rate = 8}$

$\mathbf{Total = 65}$

This is represented as:

$\mathbf{Rate \times b + Base\ Amount =Total}$

So, we have:

$\mathbf{8\times b + 17 =65}$

Rewrite as:

$\mathbf{8b + 17 =65}$

Subtract 17 from both sides

$\mathbf{8b =48}$

Divide both sides by 8

$\mathbf{b =6}$

Assume she has 97 books in her collection, then the equation would be represented as:

$\mathbf{8b + 17 = 97}$

Subtract 17 from both sides

$\mathbf{8b = 80}$

Divide both sides by 8

$\mathbf{b = 10}$

The values of b are 6 and 10.

The difference between 6 and 10 is 4

Hence, the value of b has increased by 4

Jet001 [13]

Answer:

<em>(9,-5)</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

When you go down, the number will decrease. The vertical position is the Y axis. -3-2=5.

When you go right, the number will increase. The horizontal position is the X axis. 5+4=9

<em>(9,-5)</em>
