MissTica3 years ago

Answer:

These types of questions are not daunting if you break it down. First look at  "Five less than twice the value of a number."

"Twice the value of a number" is simply 2x.

"Five less" is simply -5, so for the first part we have (2x-5)

Next, analyze the second part. "Three times the quantity of four more than one half the number."

Looking at "Three times the quantity" simply means "3 times something".

"the quantity of four more than one half the number" is 4 + "one half the number" or 4 + (1/2)x.

So the second part is simply 3(4+x/2).

Finally we finish the entire equation, (2x-5) = 3(4+x/2) then solve for x.

2x-5 = 12 + (3/2)x

2x-(3/2)x = 17

x/2 = 17

x=34

Checking the left side, (2x-5) = 2(34) - 5 = 63.

Checking the right side, 3(4+(34/2)) = 3(4+17) = 3(21) = 63.

Which expression is equivalent to r to the 9th over r to the 3rd
alisha [4.7K]

Answer:

r^{6}

Step-by-step explanation:

To make this a bit easier to see, we'll expand that expression.

R to the 9th is just r times itself 9 times. R to the third is r times itself 3 times.

(excuse my bad formatting)

<u>The expression:</u>

<u>r • r • r • r • r • r • r • r • r • 1</u>

             r • r • r • 1

Remember, anything and everything has a coefficient or denominator of 1.

So, we can cancel 3 r's from the numerator and denominator.

<u>r • r • r • r • r • r • 1</u>

             1

Simplify....

\frac{1r^{6}}{1}

That just equals r^{6}.

If y = 8 when x<br> 8 when x = 3, find y when x = 45.
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

y = 120

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx ur finding k

8 = k 3 get k alone by dividing both sides by 3 --> 8/3 = k

k = 8/3

Y = 8/3 45 now your finding Y when x is 45

Y = 120

to make sure do 120 = 8/3 45 should equal the same
