8x - 5(x - 3) = 18

8x - 5x + 15 = 18

3x = 18 - 15

3x = 3

x = 3/3

x = 1

Option C.

[50 pts] An even number, n, times the next consecutive number, n + 2, is equal to 168. Find the original number.
ale4655 [162]

<u>We are given:</u>

An even number 'n', multiplied by the next consecutive even number is 168

<u>Solving for n:</u>

From the given statement, we can say that:

n(n+2) = 168                      [<em>n multiplied by the next even number 'n+2'</em>]

n² + 2n = 168

n² + 2n - 168 = 0               [<em>subtracting 168 from both sides</em>]

We can see that we now have a quadratic equation, solving using splitting the middle term

n² + 14n - 12n - 168 = 0

n(n + 14) -12(n + 14) = 0      <em>[factoring out common terms</em>]

(n-12)(n+14) = 0

Here, we can divide both sides by either (n-12) OR (n+14)

Checking the result in both the cases:

(n + 14) = 0/(n-12)                     (n-12) = 0/(n+14)

n + 14 = 0                                 n - 12 = 0

n = -14                                      n = 12

Both these values are even and since we are not told if the number 'n' is positive or negative, both 12 and -14 are the possible values of n

PLEASE HELP MARKING BRAINLIEST DRAW WHERE TO PUT THE DOTS !!!
katrin [286]

Answer:

x-intercept: 0,-1 . y-intercept: -1.5,0

Step-by-step explanation:

When given a point-slope equation y-y=m(x-x), the second x and y values mark a point in the line and the m value is the slope (rise over run). Just graph the line from there (in this case the slope would be 2 down and 3 to the right).

a tour-bus operator sold $1,517 worth of tickets for a trip to Niagara Falls. Each tickets cost the same amount and could be pai
prisoha [69]

We will make use of the concept of prime factors for solving this question. The prime factors of 1517 are:

1517=37\times 41

So, as can be clearly seen the Niagara Fall tour operator can either sell 37 tickets for $41 each or 41 tickets for $37 each.

Now, we know that we cannot reach $37 using just three bills. Thus, the only option left to us is $41 which can be broken down into three bills of $20,$20 and $1. This satisfies our condition.

Thus the cost of a ticket was $41 and 37 such tickets were sold.

zzz [600]

Answer:

51 vreels

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Ratio of gespils to vreels on the planet Joop: 6:14

Step 2: Calculate the number of gespils per 120 vreels

Elentine has 120 vreels on her rew farm. If there are 6 gespils every 14 vreels, the number of gespils is:

120 vreels × (6 gespils/14 vreels) ≈ 51 vreels
