If 3/5 of a number is 6 less than 15, the number is

In numeric terms, our equation is:

3/5n (3/5 of a number)

= (is)

15-6 (6 less than 15)

\frac{3}{5}n=15-6

Firstly, solve the subtraction: \frac{3}{5}n=9

Next, multiply both sides by 5/3 and <u>your answer will be n=15 , or A.</u>

Answer:

B and D.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that when we added the two functions together, we get:

h(x)=-x+9

However, when we multiplied them together, we get:

j(x)=-9x

Let's first consider what we can determine from this.

If we add them together, we get a linear equation. However, this doesn't mean that our two original functions are linear since if we have, say, -x^2 and x^2-x+9, they will cancel and form a linear equation if we add them together.

<em>However</em>, since we know that if we multiply the two functions together, we get a linear equation, this means that both our original functions must be linear.

<em>But</em>, if we multiplied two linear functions, then we should get a quadratic, since x times x will yield x².

Therefore, this means that one of our linear functions is a horizontal line with no x variable. This is the only way to have a linear equation when multiplied.

Therefore, we have determined that both of our original functions are linear functions, and one (only one of them) is a horizontal line.

Let's go through each of the answer choices.

A) Both functions must be quadratic.

This is false as we determined earlier. If this was true, then the resulting function should be a quartic and not a line. A is false.

B) Both functions must have a constant rate of change.

Remember that all linear equations have a constant rate of change.

Since we determined that both our original functions are linear equation, this means that both our functions will have a constant rate of change.

So, B is true.

C) Both functions must have a y-intercept of 0.

Remember that one of our functions is a horizontal line.

If the y-intercept was 0, then the equation of our horizontal line will be:

y=0

And we know that anything multiplied by 0 will give us 0. However, the product of our function is -9x.

So, C cannot be true.

Rather, only our linear equation (not the horizontal line) may have a y-intercept of 0.

D) The rate of change of either f(x) or g(x) must be 0.

Remember that we determined that one of our lines must a horizontal.

Remember that horizontal lines have a slope of 0. In other words, the rate of change is 0.

So, D is true.

E) The y-intercepts of f(x) and g(x) must be opposites.

Well, since B and D is are true, this must be false since we can only select two options ;D

But, we can think about this. Note that if we multiply the two functions, we have a function <em>without</em> a y-intercept.

Remember that our horizontal line is <em>not</em> 0. So, the y-intercept of the horizontal line is a number.

So, the opposite of a number is another number.

So, if we multiply two non-zero numbers, we <em>must</em> get another number.

However, from our product, j(x)=-9x, we don't have another number. The y-intercept from this is 0.

Therefore, the two y-intercepts <em>cannot</em> be opposites of each other. If it was so, then we should have a y-intercept. So, E must be false.

In fact, this means that the y-intercept of our line (not the horizontal one) <em>must </em>be 0.

So, our answers are B and D.

And we're done!

Edit: Some (minor) errors in reasoning. Sorry!

Two different numbers are selected simultaneously and at random from the set {1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}. What is the probability tha
ehidna [41]

The probability of getting positive difference between the numbers 3 or greater between 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10 if two numbers are selected is 28/45.

Given Numbers:{ 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10}

We have to find the probability that the positive difference between the numbers selected is 3 or greater.

Probability is the likelihood of happening an event among all the events possible.

Total number of combinations when two numbers are selected from 10 numbers is 10 C 2=10!/2!(10-2)!

=10*9*8!/2*1(8!)

=10*9/2

=45 combinations

Combinations of numbers whose difference will be 3 or more are: (10,7),(10,6),(10,5),(10,4)(10,3)(10,2)(10,1)(9,6)(9,5)(9,4)(9,3)(9,2)(9,1)(8,5)(8,4)(8,3)(8,2)(8,1)(7,4)(7,3)(7,2)(7,1)(6,3)(6,2)(6,1)(5,2)(5,1)(4,1)

Total numbers =28

Probability=numbers/total combinations

=28/45

Hence the probability that two numbers selected gives difference of 3 or more is 28/45.

Use the accompanying table to answer the questions regarding money ratios.
Artist 52 [7]

The 40-year-old should have $76800 in capital. The 35-year-old should be saving $$10,320 for retirement.

<h3>How to solve for the amounts</h3>

The capital that a 40 year old has to have with an income of 32000 is

capital income at age 40 * income

= 2.4 * 32000

Capital = $76800

b. At 35 the savings income has to be

percentage of savings income * income

= 12% * $86000

= $10,320

c. There is no specified value for education earnings.
