Select the correct answer from the drop-down menu. A whole number is 6 more than 2 times another number. The sum of the two numb

ers is less than 50. This can be written in an inequality as x + 2x + 6 < 50, where x represents the smaller number. From the set {13, 14, 15, 16, 17}, the values of x for which the inequality holds true are .

Answer:

x = \{13,14\}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x + 2x + 6 < 50

Required

True values of x

We have:

x + 2x + 6 < 50\\

3x + 6 < 50

Collect like terms

3x < 50-6

3x < 44

Divide both sides by 3

x < 44/3

x < 14.67

This means that x has a value lesser than 14.67.

Hence, the valid values are:

x = \{13,14\}

A rectangular piece of paper with length 35 cm and width 14 cm has two semicircles cut out of it, as shown below.
Ede4ka [16]

Answer: 336.14 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of the rectangle after being cut, we want to find the area of the two semicircles and subtract it from the area of the rectangle. The area of the rectangle is just base times height, or 35cm times 14cm = 490cm² . Since there are two semicircles with the same diameter, we can just solve for the area of a circle and subtract it. To find the area of the circle, we need the radius, which we get by dividing the diameter by 2. After that, we calculate the radius to be 7cm, squared and multiplied by 3.14 (area of a circle) to get 153.86 cm². Subtract the areas, and we get 490 - 153.86 = 336.14 cm²

Write the ratio of apples to oranges in simplest form please explain. Thanks
Nadya [2.5K]
There are 6 apples and 2 oranges.
So the ratio of apples to oranges would be 6:2.
However this can be simplified, because these number have a common factor, which is 2. So you divide 2 by 2, and 6 by 2, and get 1 and 3. So the ratio of apples to oranges in simplified form is 1:3. Hope this explains it :)
