If you add $47 to $17 multiplied by two, then the total cost would be $81 because 17 multiplied by two is 34, and 47 added to 34 is 81, so the total amount paid would be $81.
Answer:
x = -2.585
Step-by-step explanation:
You will have to plug this into your graphing calculator.
In y=, type 5(1/2)^x in the Y1 and type 30 in Y2.
When you hit 2nd trace and hit find intersections, you will get (-2.585, 30).
The answer is x = -2.585
Team A) 45 people
Team B) 55 people
A)There are two ways to solve this problem, finding the number of combinations possible for Team B, or the number of combinations possible for Team A.
Team A
It's a given that 20 mathematicians are on team A, which leavs the other 25 people for team A to be chosen from a pool of 80 (100- 20 mathletes)
80-C-25 = 80! / (25!/(80-25)!) =<span>363,413,731,121,503,794,368
</span>or 3.63 x 10^20
Solving using Team B
Same concept, but choosing 55 from a pool of 80 (mathletes excluded)
80-C-25 = 80! / (55!(80-55!) = 363,413,731,121,503,794,368
or 3.63 x 10^20
As you can, we get the same answer for both.
B)
If none of the mathematicians are on team A, then we exclude the 20 and choose 45:
80-C-45 = 80! / (45!(80-45)!) = <span>5,790,061,984,745,3606,481,440
or 5.79 x 10^22
Note that, if you solve from the perspective of Team B (80-C-35), you get the same answer</span>
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The two triangles are similar and therefore we can set up a proportion
9/(9 + 72) = (3x - 20)/(3x - 20 + 56) Combine like terms on the right
9/(81) = (3x - 20)/(3x + 36) Cross multiply
9(3x + 36) = 81 (3x - 20) Remove the brackets.
27x + 324 +1620 = 243x Add 1620 to both sides
27x + 324 + 1620 = 243x Subtract 27x from both
1944 = 216x divide both sides by 216
x = 9
If you feel comfortable canceling the size of the numbers can be reduced.
9/81 = 1/9
1/9 = (3x - 20)/(3x + 36)
3x + 36 = 9(3x - 20)
3x + 36 = 27x - 180
36 + 180 = 24x
216 = 24x
216/24 = x
x = 9
There is another cancelation possible, but this is simple enough.
