Answer:

2/3

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is an overlap problem. First we have that 1/8 total tried out for football team, 1/6 total tried out for baseball team and 1/12 of the students that tried out for both football and baseball team.

So if we want to find those who just tried football, we perform the following operation:

1/8 - 1/12 = 1/24.

So we know that 1/24 tried out just football.

If we want to find all those who tried out just for baseball, we perform the following operation:

1/6 - 1/12 = 1/12

So we know that 2/24 (1/12 multiplied by two) tried  for both football and baseball and 3/24 tried out for football, it means that 2/3 of the boys who tried football also tried baseball.

4 times the sum of a number and -3 is 4 more than twice the number. Write and solve an equation to find the number.
vampirchik [111]

Answer:

The number is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

4(x+(-3))-4=2x

4(x-3)-4=2x

4x-12-4=2x

4x-2x-16=0

2x-16=0

2x=0+16

2x=16

x=16/2

x=8

130, - 12, 56.1, 11.2

these are all arithmetic sequences with n th term formula

a_{n} = a_{1} + (n - 1 )d

where d is the common difference and a_{1} the first term

(1)

d = 10 - 4 = 4 - (- 2 ) = 6 and a_{1} = - 14

a_{25} = - 14 + (24 × 6) = - 14 + 144 = 130

(2)

d = 14 - 16 = 16 - 18 = - 2 and a_{1} = 22

a_{18} = 22 + (17 × - 2 ) = 22 - 34 = - 12

(3)

a_{50} = 2.2 + (49 × 1.1) = 2.2 + 53.9 = 56.1

(4)

a_{12} = - 4.2 + (11 × 1.4 ) = - 4.2 + 15.4 = 11.2

The sides of a triangle have lengths of x, x + 4, and 20. If the longest side is 20, which of the following values of x would ma
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

12<x<16

Step-by-step explanation:

if c^2 > a^2 + b^2

then the triangle is obtuse

since 20 is the longest side

20^2 > x^2 + (x+4)^2

simplify

400 > x^2 +  (x+4)(x+4)

FOIL

400 > (x^2 ) + (x^2 + 4x+4x+16)

combine like terms

400 > (2x^2 + 8x+16)

divide by 2

400/2 > 2x^2  /2 + 8x/2 + 16/2

200 > x^2 + 4x +8

subtract 200 from each side

0> x^2 + 4x +8-200

0> x^2 +4x-192

Factor

0 > (x-12) ( x+16)

using the zero product property

0> x-12    0 > x+16

12>x     -16>x

x must be greater than 12

we know the longest side is 20

x+4 < 20

subtract 4

x< 16


x>12  and x < 16


12<x<16

Pablo buys a mattress set for 15% of the regular price and uses a coupon for 20% off the reduced price. If Pablo paid $1223.32 f
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

$1799

Step-by-step explanation:

We simply work backwards and write out an equation.

Lets call the initial price P.

First we have 15% off the initial price P which means that we are only paying 85% of the initial price: .85*P.

Next we use a coupon for 20% off the reduced price which means we only pay 80% of the reduced price: .80 * (.85 * P)

We know that the price paid was $1223.32, set that equal to .80 * (.85 * P)

and we find that P is $1799
