Answer:

3 - a

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that when you add two numbers together the result is 3.

The greater of the number is given as a.

Let "x" represent that lesser number.

Thus:

a + x = 3

To make x the subject of the formula. Subtract a from both x.

a + x - a = 3 - a

x = 3 - a

Therefore, the expression that represents the lesser number, x, is:

3 - a

Stels [109]
The question can be answered using ratio and proportion.
In 40 minutes, Tracy can rake 4 bags of leaves. In 2 hours (which is equivalent to 120 minutes), how many bag will it be?

Making the equation.
4 : 40 = BAGS : 120
4 x 120 = 40 x BAGS
480 = 40 (BAGS) // Divide both sides by 40
BAGS = 12.

So there will be 12 bags of leaves.

If a triangular cross-section with coordinates at (1, 1), (1, 4), and (3, 1) is rotated about the line x = 1, what will be the r
Alik [6]

Answer:

The resulting three-dimensional object will be a cone

Step-by-step explanation:  

Plot the figure to better understand the problem'

we have

a triangular cross-section with coordinates at (1, 1), (1, 4), and (3, 1)

The draw in the attached figure

we know that

When rotating a a right triangle about a leg, the three dimensional figure formed is a cone

The radius of the cone will be equal to the base of right triangle and the height of the cone will be equal to the height of the triangle

so

The radius of the cone will be equal to 2 units and the height of the cone will be 3 units

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

The coach can choose a lineup of 11 players in 6,047,981,701,347 different ways.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the varsity soccer team has 20 players, and three of the players are trained to be goalies while the remaining 17 can play any position, and only 11 players can be on the field at once, and the coach wants to make sure there is exactly one goalie on the field, to determine how many ways can the coach choose a lineup of 11 players if exactly 1 player must be a goalie the following calculation has to be made:  

3 x 17 ^ 10 = X

3 x 2,015,993,900,449 = X

6,047,981,701,347 = X

Therefore, the coach can choose a lineup of 11 players in 6,047,981,701,347 different ways.

hichkok12 [17]
We are asked to solve for the outstanding balance.

The given values are listed below:
Current balance = $523.11
First Outstanding check = $32.10
Second Outstanding check is $198.33

New balance = Current Balance - First outstanding check - second outstanding check
New Balance = $523.11 - $32.10 - $198.11
New Balance = $301.9
