3. Six less than twice a number is 17. Which equation could be used to determine the

Mathematics

Usimov [2.4K]3 years ago

6 0

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

n represents our number. So, twice a number would be 2n because twice means multiply by two.

When the problem says 6 less, then it means 6 less than 2n. So, it would look like 2n-6.

FInally, the problem says that all of this equals 17 so 17 would be the result.

So, you answer is 2n-6 = 17. This is answer choice B.

Two posts that hold up a sign are parallel. M < 1 = 75° use the given measurements to find the value of x. I think it’s 19 bu

polet [3.4K]

The two posts are parallel lines. The ground is a transversal.

The angles measuring 4x and 75 are same side interior angles, so they are supplementary. Their measures add up to 180.

4x + 75 = 180

4x = 105

x = 26.25

3 · t - 12 = 40

3t - 12 = 40 |add 12 to both sides

3t = 52 |divide both sides by 3

t = 52/3

What is the Median for the following set of numbers? â€‹21 23 76 47 55 135 45 30 17

Leno4ka [110]

Answer:

Median = 45

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following data set:

21, 23, 76, 47, 55, 135, 45, 30, 17

Median is the number that divides the data into two equal parts.

Formula:

$Median:\\\text{If n is odd, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{n+1}{2}th ~term \\\\\text{If n is even, then}\\\\Median = \displaystyle\frac{\frac{n}{2}th~term + (\frac{n}{2}+1)th~term}{2}$

Sorted data:

17, 21, 23, 30, 45, 47, 55, 76, 135

Sample size = 9, which is odd

Median =

$\dfrac{9+1}{2}^{th}\text{ term} = \dfrac{10}{2}^{th}\text{ term} = 5^{th}\text{ term}\\\\= 45$

The median of given set of numbers is 45.

Answer:

Slope=

2.000

=1.000

x−intercept=

−1

=−1.00000

y−intercept=

=1.00000

Step-by-step explanation:

Rearrange:

Rearrange the equation by subtracting what is to the right of the equal sign from both sides of the equation :

y-(x+1)=0

Equation of a Straight Line

1.1 Solve y-x-1 = 0

Tiger recognizes that we have here an equation of a straight line. Such an equation is usually written y=mx+b ("y=mx+c" in the UK).

"y=mx+b" is the formula of a straight line drawn on Cartesian coordinate system in which "y" is the vertical axis and "x" the horizontal axis.

In this formula :

y tells us how far up the line goes

x tells us how far along

m is the Slope or Gradient i.e. how steep the line is

b is the Y-intercept i.e. where the line crosses the Y axis

The X and Y intercepts and the Slope are called the line properties. We shall now graph the line y-x-1 = 0 and calculate its properties

Graph of a Straight Line :

Calculate the Y-Intercept :

Notice that when x = 0 the value of y is 1/1 so this line "cuts" the y axis at y= 1.00000

y-intercept = 1/1 = 1.00000

Calculate the X-Intercept :

When y = 0 the value of x is 1/-1 Our line therefore "cuts" the x axis at x=-1.00000

x-intercept = 1/-1 = -1.00000

Calculate the Slope :

Slope is defined as the change in y divided by the change in x. We note that for x=0, the value of y is 1.000 and for x=2.000, the value of y is 3.000. So, for a change of 2.000 in x (The change in x is sometimes referred to as "RUN") we get a change of 3.000 - 1.000 = 2.000 in y. (The change in y is sometimes referred to as "RISE" and the Slope is m = RISE / RUN)

Slope = 2.000/2.000 = 1.000

Geometric figure: Straight Line

1. Slope = 2.000/2.000 = 1.000

2. x-intercept = 1/-1 = -1.00000

3. y-intercept = 1/1 = 1.00000
