To find the number you would start by writing out the equation using x as the number. The equation would be x+2x=21. The first step to solve this equation would be to combine like terms, making the equation 3x=21. Finally, you would divide both sides by three, making your answer x=7.

2x + x = 21. Combine your like terms and you get3x = 21. Divide both by sides 3 and you get x = 21.

The output of a function is 5 more than 2 times the input. Find the input when the output is 17.
Tanya [424]

Answer:

<em>The input when the output is 17 is x=6.</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Functions</u>

Assume the input is called x and the output is the function f(x). Two times the input is 2x. 5 more than that is 2x+5.

Knowing the output of the function is 5 more than 2 times the input, we can write the function as:

f(x)=2x+5

Now find the input x when the output is 17:

17=2x+5

Swap sides of the equation:

2x+5=17

Subtract 5:

2x=17-5=12

Divide by 2:

x=12/6=6

The input when the output is 17 is x=6.

A company manufactures cell phones. In August, a random sample of 125 cell phones was inspected, and 3 phones were found to be d
german

Answer:

192

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many phones are expected to be defective, we need to represent the values in a fraction.

\dfrac{x}{8000}=\dfrac{3}{125}

x = number of defective phones

Now we can solve this using algebra.

To get the value of x we need to multiply both sides by 8000 to leave x alone.

x=\dfrac{3}{125}(8000)

x=0.024(8000)

x=192

So around 192 cell phones are expected to be defective out of 8000 phones.
