Two less than three times a number is equal to 19. What is the number?

EastWind [94]3 years ago

The best way to approach a word problem like this

is to break it down into pieces, so we can understand it fully.

In this problem, we have a number, which we don't know.

We can use any variable to represent it.

So let's use the variable <em>n</em> to represent it.

"Two less than three times a number" means 3n - 2.

A common mistake is for students to put 2 - 3n.

However, the word "less than" switches the order around.

So we have 3n - 2 = 19.

Solving from here, we add 2 to both sides to get 3n = 21.

Now divide both sides of the equation by 3 and we have n = 7.

So the number is 7.

How much more interest will Maria receive if she invests $1,000 for one year at x percent annual interest, compounded semiannual
notka56 [123]

Answer:

  $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points

Step-by-step explanation:

The multiplier for semi-annual compounding will be ...

  (1 + x/2)² = 1 + x + x²/4

The multiplier for annual compounding will be ...

  1 + x

The multiplier for semiannual compounding is greater by ...

  (1 + x + x²/4) - (1 + x) = x²/4

Maria's interest will be greater by $1000×(x²/4) = $250x², where x is a decimal fraction.

If x is a percent value, as in x = 6 when x percent = 6%, then the difference amount is ...

  $250·(x/100)² = $0.025x² . . . where x is a number of percentage points

_____

<u>Example</u>:

For x percent = 6%, the difference in interest earned on $1000 for one year is $0.025×6² = $0.90.

The amount of a radioactive isotope decays in half every year the amount of the isotope can be modeled by f(x)=3461/2x and f(1)=
pychu [463]

Answer:

1 represents the number of years passed.

step -by-step explanation:

The amount of a radioactive isotope decays in half every year. The amount of the isotope can be modeled by f(x) = 346 (1/2)x and f(1) = 173

Here 1 represents the number of years that passed.

So 1 represents the number of years.

Hope this will helpful.

Thank you.

10m/
AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

Answer is D 312m^2

As  D= 8m x 11m = A =88x 3 = 264+ 48 = 312

1/2 x 6 x 8 = 24

This makes triangle base of 6m

triangle side =8m

Rectangle side = 8m

and rectangle length = 11m

Step-by-step explanation:

First finding

A= 6 x 11 = 66m^2 (rectangle area) or 10 x 9 = 90sq^2

A = 1/2 x 6 x 11 = 33  (1/2bh) triangle

33+ 33 + 66 +66 + 66 = 264  or 33+ 33+ 90+90+90 =336

As 336 was not in the answer we do not know what 10m/9m represents, we then see this triangle prism is not a normal shape and its length is same as its height

a) is not in usual proportions.

We try again reversing which makes triangle sides 10m+ base 9m

= 1/2 x 10 x 10 = 50m^2 = triangle face area

we cannot continue the reverse as the triangle sides do not match the rectangle height. We therefore have to use the first answer C 264m^2

As 10m, 9m <do not match >6m 11m 8m

However if the given sizes 10m, 9m = bases of two different rectangles we would calculate 2 faces and add them each to one unknown face being one of the other face sizes we found to make 3.

10 x 8 = 80

9 x 8 = 72

To make one of these SA totals for rectangles alone

=80+80+72=232   or  72+72+80 =224

Then add to the 33 m^2 triangles

= 232+ 33+ 33 =297m^2

= 224+33+33 =310m^2

We can now determine that these measurements represent irregular values and are not answers within multiple choice, however d)  we can state the triangle is regular prism where triangle sides are regular too creating isosceles triangle 6,8,8,

8m x 11m = A =88x 3 = 264+ 48 = 312

1/2 x 6 x 8 = 24

As we have ruled out rectangle with side 8m x 11m + A (33m^2) of triangle would equal 310m^2 (88+88+88+33+33) =330m

And ruled out rectangle with side 8m x 6m= 48m^2 (48+48+48+33+33 =210sqm)

So therefore if triangles were to equal 1/2 x 6 x 8 = 24

24 x 3= 72sqm

add the rectangle amounts above

= 72 + 88+ 88+ 88 =336^2

try another way and we find D. here below.

answer D= 72+ 80+80+80 = 312m^2 this can makes a correct answer D.

As last rule out is;

72 + 72 +72  (+triangle of 72) =288^2 would be irregular as this is equal to (9 x 8) x 3 and then the 11m is not used. It is also not a listed answer. Therefore;  D=312m^2 is correct.

A triangular prism has three rectangular sides and two triangular faces. To find the area of the rectangular sides, use the formula A = lw, where A = area, l = length, and h = height. To find the area of the triangular faces, use the formula A = 1/2bh, where A = area, b = base, and h = height.
