To solve this problem, let us say that the number is called x and let us do this step by step.

1st step: 3 is added to the number, therefore:

x + 3

2nd step: the sum is tripled, therefore:

3 (x + 3)

3rd step: the result in the 2nd step is equal to 27 more than the original number, therefore:

3 (x + 3) = x + 27

4th step: find for the value of x using the equation

3 x + 9 = x + 27

3 x – x = 27 – 9

2 x = 18

x = 9

Answer:

The number is 9

HELP!!! Simplify cos^2 0 -1/ 4sin^2 0?

Shkiper50 [21]

We need to simpify the given expression. The given expression to us is ,

Given Expression :-

$\sf\implies \dfrac{ cos^2\theta -1}{4 \ sin^2\theta }$

Using Identity :-

$\sf\implies \red{ sin^2\theta + cos^2\theta = 1}$

So that :-

$\sf\implies - sin^2\theta = cos^2\theta -1$

We have :-

$\sf\implies \dfrac{ cos^2\theta -1}{4 \ sin^2\theta } \\\\\sf\implies\dfrac{ - sin^2\theta}{4sin^2\theta}=\boxed{\sf -\dfrac{1}{4}}$

Hence the required answer is -1/4.

on a certain hot summer day 688 people used the public swimming pool. the daily prices are 1.75 for children and 2.00 for sdults

Virty [35]

Answer:

Number of children = x = 330

Number of adults = y = 358

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

Number of children = x

Number of adults = y

x + y = 688 (1)

1.75x + 2.00y = 1293.50 (2)

From (1)

x = 688 - y

Substitute x = 688 - y into (2)

1.75x + 2.00y = 1293.50

1.75(688 - y) + 2.00y = 1293.50

1,204 - 1.75y + 2.00y = 1293.50

- 1.75y + 2.00y = 1293.50 - 1,204

0.25y = 89.50

y = 358

Substitute y = 358 into (1)

x + y = 688

x + 358 = 688

x = 688 - 358

x = 330

Number of children = x = 330

Number of adults = y = 358

What is the equation of a line, in Slope Intercept Form, with a slope of 1/3 and passes through the point (9, 7)?

levacccp [35]

The slope-intercept form:

$y=mx+b$

m - slope

b - y-intercept

We have the slope $m=\dfrac{1}{3}\to y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+b$

and point (9, 7). Substitute:

$7=\dfrac{1}{3}(9)+b$

$7=3+b$ subtract 3 from both sides

$4=b\to b=4$

Answer: $y=\dfrac{1}{3}x+4$

Clara estimates that the length of a hiking trail is 5.75 km. She later learns that its actual length is 6.25 km. What is the pe

antoniya [11.8K]

8.0% is the answer. To solve these problems just do actual length minus her guess which gives you 0.5. Then divide what you got by the actual length. 0.5 divided by 6.25 is 0.08. Multiply that by 100. 0.08 x 100 is 8 which means the answer is 8.0% :)
