Hello!
Say that n is the number. There are two parts to this statement. The first part is "four less than three times a number", and the second is "is three more than two times the number. An expression fitting the first part will go on the left side of the equation, and the second part will go on the right.
Look at the first part. "Four less than three times a number". The first thing being done here is the <u>three times a number.</u> This would be 3n, as it is 3 times n. Now, there is the <u>four less</u> part. You would therefore have to subtract 4 from 3n, to get 3n - 4.
Now the second part. "Is three more than two times the number". The first thing being done here is the <u>two times the number</u>. That would be 2n. The next is "is three more than". If the other side is three more than 2n, then you must add 3 to 2n to make them equivalent. Therefore, it would be 2n + 3.
Now, set them equal to each other, and solve.
3n - 4 = 2n + 3
3n - 2n = 3 + 4
n = 7
Therefore, your number is 7.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
- a(x) = 20 + 0.60x
- domain [0, 50]; range [20, 50]
- maybe
Step-by-step explanation:
a) If x liters are removed from a container with a volume of 50 L, the amount remaining in the container is (50 -x) liters. Of that amount, 40% is acid, so the acid in the container before any more is added will be ...
0.40 × (50 -x)
The x liters are replaced with 100% acid, so the amount of acid that was added to the container is ...
1.00 × (x)
Then after the remove/replace operation, the total amount of acid in the container is ...
a(x) = 0.40(50 -x) +1.00(x)
a(x) = 20 +0.60x . . . . . liters of acid in the final mixture
__
b) The quantity removed cannot be less than zero, nor can it be more than 50 liters. The useful domain of the function is 0 ≤ x ≤ 50. (liters)
The associated range is 20 ≤ a ≤ 50. (liters)
__
c) As we found in part b, the amount of acid in the final mixture may range from 20 liters to 50 liters. So, the percentage of acid in the final mix will range from 20/50 = 40% to 50/50 = 100%. The mixture could be 50% acid, but is not necessarily.

Answer:
The growth rate for the period was of 17.86%.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the growth rate as a percent, we multiply the change by 100, and divide by the initial value.
A house cost $112,000 in 2010. By the year 2015, the house had a value of $132,000.
Change: 132 - 112 = 20
Initial value: 112
Growth rate as a percent:
20*100/112 = 17.86%
The growth rate for the period was of 17.86%.
Answer:
8 2/5 inches!
Step-by-step explanation:
The lighthouse is 120 feet, and 4 inches of height on the model equals 50 feet of height on the lighthouse. 100 divided by 50 = 2, and 4 multiplied by 2 is 8. 20 divided by 50 = 2/5, so the answer is 8 2/5 inches. :)
