If 2a+4b=5 and a is equal to three times b, what is 3a?

Answer:

3a=4.5

Step-by-step explanation:

it says that "a is equal to 3 times b", which translates to a=3b

We can substitute a as 3b in 2a+4b=5

2(3b)+4b=5

multiply

6b+4b=5

add

10b=5

divide by 10

b=1/2

since it's given that a=3b, we can multiply 1/2 by 3

a=3/2

3a is 3 times a, so we can mutiply 3(3/2)=9/2=4.5

Hope this helps!

miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Samuel's hourly rate after n seasons with the company is f(n)= 12.50 + 0.35*n.  After 18 seasons with the company, Samuel's hourly rate will be 18.8 $ /hr.

Step-by-step explanation:

You know that Samuel's starting pay is $12.50/hr and for each season Samuel remains with the company, he receives a $0.35/hr raise.

Samuel's hourly rate after n seasons at the company will then be:

f(n)= 12.50 + 0.35*n

To determine the hourly rate after 18 seasons, you must replace the value n with 18:

f(18)= 12.50 + 0.35*18

Solving you get:

f(18)= 12.50 + 6.3

f(18)= 18.8

<u><em>Samuel's hourly rate after n seasons with the company is f(n)= 12.50 + 0.35*n.  After 18 seasons with the company, Samuel's hourly rate will be 18.8 $ /hr. </em></u>

Help,anyone can help me do quetion,I will mark brainlest.​
Serhud [2]

Answer:

a)    x = 2

b)    x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

a = (b₁ + b₂)/2 * h

----------------------------

a)

48 = (10 + x)/2 * 8

Divide both sides by 8

6 = (10 + x)/2

multiply both sides by 2

12 = 10 + x

Subtract 10 from both sides

2 = x

x = 2

---------------------------------

b)

18 = (7 + 2)/2 * x

18 = 4.5 * x

divide both sides by 4.5

4 = x

x = 4

You don't even have to look up the definition of 'standard deviation'.  You only
have to remember that 'smaller standard deviation' means 'less spread-out'.

First, let's find the mean (average).  It's not supposed to change:

1/7th of (65 + 71 + 77 + 80 + 82 + 90 + 96) = 561/7 = <u>80 and 1/7</u> .

Now, just pick 7 scores that total 561 and are all bunched up.

The easiest way would be 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 80, 81 .
But that's so easy that it feels like cheating.

Let's say <u>77, 78, 79, 80, 81, 82, and 84</u> .
