five and three-tenths times a number plus two and seven-tenths is less than three and three-tenths times a number plus one and s
love history [14]

The number according to the given statement is x<-0.55.

Given the statement is five and three-tenths times a number plus two and seven-tenths is less than three and three-tenths times a number plus one and six-tenths​.

A mathematical statement is a meaningful component of words that can be true or false. Simply, they are known as a statement.

Let us assume the given number be x.

According to the given statement,

Five and three-tenths of a number means 5.3x.

And two and seven-tenths means 2.7.

So, five and three-tenths times a number plus two and seven-tenths means 5.3x+2.7.                ......(1)

It is also given that three and three-tenths times a number means is 3.3x.      

And one and six-tenths means 1.6.

So, three and three-tenths times a number plus one and six-tenths​ means 3.3x+1.6         .......(2)

Now, we will substitute equation (1) less than equation (2) according to the given statement is

5.3x+2.7<3.3x+1.6

Further, we will subtract 2.7 from both sides, we get

5.3x+2.7-2.7<3.3x+1.6-2.7

5.3x<3.3x-1.1

Now, we will subtract 3.3x from both sides, we get

5.3x-3.3x<3.3x-1.1-3.3x

2x<-1.1

Now, we will divide both sides by 2, we get

2x/2<-1.1/2

x<-0.55

Hence, the number for the given statement "five and three-tenths times a number plus two and seven-tenths is less than three and three-tenths times a number plus one and six-tenths​" is -0.55.

Which equation represents a nonlinear function? y=−85x+19.4 y = − − 8 5 x + 19.4 y=−12x2−7 y = − − 1 2 x 2 − − 7 y=x4+x y = x 4
Pavel [41]

Answer:

The answer is below.

Step-by-step explanation:

The options are not clear. I would solve a similar question.

A linear function is a function in the form:

y = mx + b;  where y and x are variables, m is the slope and b is the y intercept.

From the options:

a) x(y - 5) = 2

xy - 5x = 2.   Since the equation is not in the form of y = mx + b, hence it is not a linear function. It is a nonlinear function.

b) y - 2(x + 9) = 0

y - 2x - 18 = 0

y = 2x + 18. The equation is in the form of y = mx + b, hence it is a linear function.

c) 3y + 6(2 - x) = 5

3y + 12 - 6x = 5

3y = 6x - 7. The equation is in the form of y = mx + b, hence it is a linear function.

d) 2(y + x) = 0

2y + 2x = 0

2y = -2x. The equation is in the form of y = mx + b, hence it is a linear function.

To steam rice, Paul uses m cups of water for every p
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

\frac{(p + 2)m}{p}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

m cups of water = p cups of rice

Required

Cups of water required for p + 2 cups of rice

<em>The question shows a direct proportion between cups of rice and cups of water.</em>

<em>So, the first step is to get the proportionality constant (k)</em>

<em />

This is calculated using the following expression;

m = k * p

Where k represents cups of water and p represents cups of rice

Make k the subject of formula

k = \frac{m}{p}

Let x represents cups of water when cups of rice becomes p + 2;

k becomes:

k = \frac{x}{p + 2}

Equate both expressions of k; to give

\frac{m}{p} = \frac{x}{p + 2}

Multiply both sides by p + 2

(p + 2) * \frac{m}{p} =(p + 2) *  \frac{x}{p + 2}

(p + 2) * \frac{m}{p} =x

x = (p + 2) * \frac{m}{p}

x =  \frac{(p + 2)m}{p}

<em>Hence, the expression that represents the cups of water needed is </em>\frac{(p + 2)m}{p}<em></em>
