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

Mathematics
1 answer:
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.

Answer:

(x+y+z)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2+2x(y+2)+(y+2)^2

there is a factoring rule where

a^2+2ab+b^2=(a+b)^2

So,

a = x

b = y + z

Problem 3: Let x = price of bag of pretzels Let y = price of box of granola bars  
We have Lesley's purchase: 4x+2y=13.50
 And Landon's: 1x+5y=17.55 
 We can use the elimination method. Let's negate Landon's purchase by multiplying by -1. -1x-5y=-17.55 
 We add this four times to Lesley's purchase to eliminate the x variable.
 2y-20y=13.50-70.2
 -18y=-56.7
 y = $3.15 = Price of box of granola bars
 
 Plug back into Landon's purchase to solve for pretzels.
 x+5*3.15=17.55
 x+15.75=17.55
 x = $1.80 = price of bag of pretzels
  
 Problem 4.
 Let w = number of wood bats sold
 Let m = number of metal bats sold
 
 From sales information we have: w + m = 23
 24w+30m=606 
 Substitution works well here. Solve for w in the first equation, w = 23 - m, and plug this into the second. 
 24*(23-m)+30m=606
 552-24m+30m=606
 6m=54
 m=9 = number of metal bats sold
 Therefore since w = 23-m, w = 23-9 = 14. 14 wooden bats were sold.

In a right triangle one leg measures a quarter of the other, how much do its acute angles measure? with procedure please​
KATRIN_1 [288]

Answer:

The answer to your question is 14° and 76°

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

leg 1 = x

leg 2 = x/4

angle 1 = ?

angle 2 = ?

Process

To solve problem use trigonometric functions. We must use the trigonometric function that relates both legs (tangent).

    tangent Ф = Opposite side / Adjacent side

-Substitution

    tan Ф = (x/4) / x

-Simplification

    tan Ф = x / 4x

    tan Ф = 1/4

-  Find Ф

     Ф = tan⁻¹(1/4) =  14°

- Find the other acute angle

  The sum of the internal angles in a triangles equals 180°

       Ф + Ф₁ + 90° = 180

-Solve for Ф₁

        Ф₁  = 180 - 90 - 14

-Result

        Ф₁ = 76°
