Answer:

Let n = the unknown number.

The English sentence, "Three more than twice a number n is equal to the number n," can be translated mathematically into the following equation:

2n + 3 = n

Subtracting 3 from both sides, we get:

2n + 3 - 3 = n - 3

2n + 0 = n - 3

2n = n - 3

Now subtract n from both sides to isolate and solve for n:

2n - n = n - n - 3

(2 - 1)n = 0 - 3

(1)n = -3

n = -3

CHECK:

2n + 3 = n

2(-3) + 3 = -3

-6 + 3 = -3

-3 = -3

Therefore, n = -3 is the desired number.

Answer:

number is 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be n , then 2 times the number is 2n and 3 more than this is

2n + 3 , so

2n + 3 = n + 4 ( subtract n from both sides )

n + 3 = 4 ( subtract 3 from both sides )

n = 1

That is the number is 1

Suppose you have rolled a six-sided die fifty times and recorded the result of each roll.
a_sh-v [17]

Using it's concept, it is found that the relative frequency  probability of rolling an even number based on this experiment is \frac{11}{25}.

A relative frequency is the <u>number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes</u>.

In this problem:

  • 50 dices are thrown, hence T = 50.
  • 22 resulted in an even number, hence D = 22

The <u>relative frequency</u> is given by:

f = \frac{D}{T} = \frac{22}{50} = \frac{11}{25}

Answer:

The greenhouse effect is the process by which radiation from a planet's atmosphere warms the planet's surface to a temperature above what it would be without this atmosphere.So following options are correct options

  • slowly increasing global temperature
  • caused when atmospheric gases trap heat
  • increasing because of carbon dioxide emissions

How do I solve this?
Sonbull [250]

The question is somewhat poorly posed because the equation doesn't involve <em>θ</em> at all. I assume the author meant to use <em>x</em>.

sec(<em>x</em>) = csc(<em>x</em>)

By definition of secant and cosecant,

1/cos(<em>x</em>) = 1/sin(<em>x</em>)

Multiply both sides by sin(<em>x</em>) :

sin(<em>x</em>)/cos(<em>x</em>) = sin(<em>x</em>)/sin(<em>x</em>)

As long as sin(<em>x</em>) ≠ 0, this reduces to

sin(<em>x</em>)/cos(<em>x</em>) = 1

By definition of tangent,

tan(<em>x</em>) = 1

Solve for <em>x</em> :

<em>x</em> = arctan(1) + <em>nπ</em>

<em>x</em> = <em>π</em>/4 + <em>nπ</em>

(where <em>n</em> is any integer)

In the interval 0 ≤ <em>x</em> ≤ 2<em>π</em>, you get 2 solutions when <em>n</em> = 0 and <em>n</em> = 1 of

<em>x</em> = <em>π</em>/4   <u>or</u>   <em>x</em> = 5<em>π</em>/4

Lisa's store collects 5% sales tax on every item sold. If she collected $22.00 in sales tax, what was the cost of the items her
Ede4ka [16]
Since we are looking for the principal amount, then all we have to do is reverse the process of getting the amount of tax. In order to get the principal, you just have to divide 22 with 0.05. The answer is 440 so that is the principal amount you are looking for.
