Which expression is represented by the phrase "9 less than 5 times a number"?

1 answer:

6 0

5x - 9.

Five times a number indicates multiplication and less than indicates subtraction. A number would be a variable since it isn’t specified.

see the attached figure with the letters

1) find m(x) in the interval A,B
A (0,100) B(50,40) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(40-100)/(50-0)=-6/5
m=px+b---------- > 100=(-6/5)*0 +b------------- > b=100
mAB=(-6/5)x+100

2) find m(x) in the interval B,C
B(50,40) C(100,100) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(100-40)/(100-50)=6/5
m=px+b---------- > 40=(6/5)*50 +b------------- > b=-20
mBC=(6/5)x-20

3) find n(x) in the interval A,B
A (0,0) B(50,60) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(60)/(50)=6/5
n=px+b---------- > 0=(6/5)*0 +b------------- > b=0
nAB=(6/5)x

4) find n(x) in the interval B,C
B(50,60) C(100,90) -------------- > p=(y2-y1(/(x2-x1)=(90-60)/(100-50)=3/5
n=px+b---------- > 60=(3/5)*50 +b------------- > b=30
nBC=(3/5)x+30

5) find h(x) = n(m(x)) in the interval A,B
mAB=(-6/5)x+100
nAB=(6/5)x
then
n(m(x))=(6/5)*[(-6/5)x+100]=(-36/25)x+120
h(x)=(-36/25)x+120
find h'(x)
h'(x)=-36/25=-1.44

6) find h(x) = n(m(x)) in the interval B,C
mBC=(6/5)x-20
nBC=(3/5)x+30
then
n(m(x))=(3/5)*[(6/5)x-20]+30 =(18/25)x-12+30=(18/25)x+18
h(x)=(18/25)x+18
find h'(x)
h'(x)=18/25=0.72

for the interval (A,B) h'(x)=-1.44
for the interval (B,C) h'(x)= 0.72

 h'(x) = 1.44 ------------ > not exist

Luigi uses 39 cups of flour for every 6 pizzas he makes.Complete the table using equivalent ratios. Pizzas

zlopas [31]

Answer:

Part 1) The number of cups of flour needed to make 4 pizzas is 26

Part 2) The number of pizzas Luigi can make with 13 cups of flour is 2

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

Luigi uses 39 cups of flour for every 6 pizzas he makes

Let

y ----> the number of cups of flour used

x ---> the number of pizzas he makes

In this problem

The relationship between the variables x, and y, represent a proportional variation

we have the ordered pair (6,39)

$\frac{y}{x}=\frac{39}{6}$

Part 1) Find out the number of cups of flour needed to make 4 pizzas

using a proportion

$\frac{y}{4}\ \frac{cups\ of\ flour}{pizzas}=\frac{39}{6}\ \frac{cups\ of\ flour}{pizzas}$

Solve for y

$y=\frac{39}{6}(4)$

$y=26\ cups\ of\ flour$

Part 2) Find out the number of pizzas Luigi can make with 13 cups of flour

using a proportion

$\frac{13}{x}\ \frac{cups\ of\ flour}{pizzas}=\frac{39}{6}\ \frac{cups\ of\ flour}{pizzas}$

Solve for x

$x=13(6)/39$

$x=2\ pizzas$

What equation this show The cost of 10 pounds of potatoes is 8 dollars

Alekssandra [29.7K]

To formulate the equation that shows the cost of 10 pounds of potatoes is 8 dollars we proceed as follows;
suppose the cost 1 pound is x;
thus,
total cost=(amount in pounds)*(price of one pound)
total cost=$8
amount=10 pounds
cost of one pound=x
thus the equation is;
8=10x

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer:

There's not enough information to answer the question.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question says that out of 84 kids, 3/7 bought their lunches. Then it asks how many of the 3/7 got pizza without providing a number of those who bought a different food. And so, there's not enough information to solve this question.
