Answer: 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Eight times the result of subtracting 3 from a number is equal to the number increased by 25 what is the number.

Let x be the number.

According to the question, we have

8(x-3)=x+25

⇒8x-24=x+25 [open parenthesis]

⇒8x-24-x=25 [Subtract x from both sides ]

⇒7x-24=25

⇒7x=49 [Add 24 to both sides ]

⇒x=7 [divide both sides by 7 ]

Therefore, the number is 7.

Answer=7

Lets write the an equation for the information given
8(x-3)=x+25
subtract x from both sides
8(x-3)-x=25
8x-24-x=25
7x-24=25
add 24 to both sides
7x=49
divide both sides by 7
x=7

The equation V=13πr2h relates the volume V, the radius r, and the height h of a cone. Write h in terms of V and r.

$V= \frac{1}{3} \pi r^2h \\ \\ 3V= \pi r^2h \\ \\ h= \cfrac{3V}{\pi r^2}$

The set of ordered pairs represents a

Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The rule that represents the function is $y=x^2+1$ therefore the function is $f(x)=x^2+1$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have 5 ordered pairs in the plane xy. This means that every pair has the form (x, y).

Then, we have 5 values of x, which will give us 5 values of y, using the rule that represents the function.

The easy evaluation is that when x=0, the value of y is y=1, and then we can evaluate the rule for x=-1, and x=1, the value of y is the same, y=2. We can see here that we have a parabolic function, that is not centered in the origin of coordinates because when x=0, y=1.

So we propose the rule $y=x^2+1$ which is correct for the first 3 values of x.

Now, we evaluate the proposed rule when x=2, and when x=3. This evaluations can be written as

$f(2)=2^2+1=5$
