Answer:

2/x−9

Step-by-step explanation:

Write it out just the way you read it, then follow the order of operations.

The “Order of Operations” (P-E-MD-AS … or … B-O-DM-AS) tells us that quotient (division) comes before less (subtraction) so:

How do you represent “the quotient of two and (a number) X” ?

The quotient of 2 divided by X is (2÷X) or (2/X) or 2

What is nine less than that quotient?

subtract 9 from your choice of the previous representations, for example:

2/x−9

I can't figure out how to do this problem. Could somebody help me?

Verizon [17]

start by plugging in the value you already have, in this case, 5 for y.

-4x-3(5)=17

-4x-15=17

-4x=32

x=-8

however, since a is a+1, a would be 7 (making x 8)

also plz tell me if i read this wrong and it’s actually 1,5 rather than a+1 and 5 cause if i did i’m so sorry lol.

diego has 90 songs on his playlist. how many songs are there for each genre ? 40% rock , 10% country , 30% hip hop , the rest is

hjlf

Answer:

Diego playlist has 36 songs in rock genre, 9 songs in Country genre, 27 songs in hip hop genre and 24 songs in electronica genre.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Total Songs on playlist = 90

rock = 40%

country = 10%

hip hop = 30%

rest is electronica.

We need to find the number of songs in each genre.

rock = 40%

So Number of songs in rock genre = $\frac{40}{100}\times90 = 36\ songs$

country = 10%

So Number of songs in country genre = $\frac{10}{100}\times90 = 9\ songs$

hip hop = 30%

So Number of songs in hip hop genre = $\frac{30}{100}\times90 = 27\ songs$ .

and rest is electronica genre.

Number of songs in electronica genre can be calculated by Subtracting Number of songs in rock genre and Number of songs in country genre and

Number of songs in hip hop genre from Total number of songs.

framing in equation form we get;

Number of songs in electronica genre = $90-30-9-27 = 24\ songs$

Hence Diego playlist has 36 songs in rock genre, 9 songs in Country genre, 27 songs in hip hop genre and 24 songs in electronica genre.
