30000 is the answer as it is ajove 20000 in comparison to rounding down
Answer:
x = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
5 less than a number is equivalent to 1 more than three times the number
number = x
x - 5 = 3x + 1
now im going to get the numbers and variable on different sides
x - 5 + 5 = x
3x + 1 - 3x = 1
x + 3x = 4x
1 - 5 = -4
4x = -4
lastly im going to divide each side by 4
4x / 4 = x
-4 / 4 = -1
x = -1
If you have at least as many equations as your have unknown variables, the 'system' is solvable (unless the equations are copies of eachother).
In this case, isolate one letter and plug it in the other. I'm going for the 2a in the bottom one (it doesn't matter)
2a - 4b = 12 => (divide by two and move the b's to the other side)
a = 6 + 2b. (plug this one into the top equation)
4(6+2b) + 6b = 10 => 24+8b+6b = 10 => 24 + 14b = 10 => 14b = -14 => b=-1
a = 6 + -2 = 4.
So a=4 and b=-1.
31 x 7.875 = 244.125
244.125 inches altogether
Answer:
a =1 and a=4.
Step-by-step explanation:
The function is

If we want f(x) to be continuous the denominator needs to be different to 0, otherwise f(x) will be indeterminate.
Now, for a a positive real we have that
will annulate the denominator, i.e
. But, if a = 1 we have:

so, the value
won't annulate the denominator.
Now, for a = 4 we have:

so, the value
won't annulate the denominator.
In conclusion, for a=1 or a=1, the function will be continuos for all real numbers, since the denominator will never be 0.
