Let's call the number x. So four times the number minus five would look like
4x-5
Twice the number plus three would look like
2x+3
Now make the two equations equal
4x-5=2x+3
I'm going to subtract 2x from each side
2x-5=3
Now I'm going to add five to each side
2x=8
Now divide both sides by 2
x=4
To double check, just plug back into the original equations
4(4)-5=11
2(4)+3=11
They are equal, so the answer is x=4.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x,

Then, according to the question,

4x-5=2x+3

(we need to find the value of x)

4x-2x=5+3

= 2x=8

= x=8/2

= x=4

The perimeter of a rectangle pool is 160 yards. if the length is 10 yards less than twice the width, find the length and the wid

uranmaximum [27]

Answer: lenght is 50yrds, width is 30yrds

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of a pool = 2( lenght x breadth)

Perimeter = 160yrds

If the lenght is 10yrds less than twice the width then,

lenght = 2w - 10,

Where w is the width

Then from p = 2(L + w)

160 = 2( 2w - 10 + w)

160 = 2(3w - 10)

160 = 6w - 20

160 + 20 = 6w = 180

width w = 180/6 = 30yrds

From p = 2(L + w)

160 = 2(L + 30)

160 = 2L + 60

160 - 60 = 2L = 100

L = 100/2 = 50yrds

determine the quadratic function of f whose graph is given. The vertex is (1,-3) and the y-intercept is -2

LuckyWell [14K]

Hmmm the y-intercept is at -2? what does that mean? well, is where the graph "intercepts" or touches the y-axis, and when that happens, x = 0, so the point is really ( 0 , -2 ).

and we know where the vertex is at. Let's assume a vertical parabola, in which case the squared variable is the "x".

$\bf \qquad \textit{parabola vertex form}\\\\
\begin{array}{llll}
\boxed{y=a(x-{{ h}})^2+{{ k}}}\\\\
x=a(y-{{ k}})^2+{{ h}}
\end{array} \qquad\qquad vertex\ ({{ h}},{{ k}})\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
vertex
\begin{cases}
h=1\\
k=-3
\end{cases}\implies y=a(x-1)^2-3
\\\\\\
\textit{now, we also know that }
\begin{cases}
x=0\\
y=-2
\end{cases}\implies -2=a(0-1)^2-3
\\\\\\
1=a(-1)^2\implies \boxed{1=a}\qquad thus\implies 
\begin{cases}
y=1(x-1)^2-3\\
\textit{or just}\\
y=(x-1)^2-3
\end{cases}$

A local farm sells strawberries and blueberries. The ratio of the number of strawberries to blueberries it sells at 5:3. If it s

olganol [36]

Answer:

125

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio is 5:3 so we divide the 75 by 3 to get 1 part

1 part = 75

75 x 5 = 125

125 strawberries were sold :)
