Answer:

x= 24

Step-by-step explanation:

Quotient means divide, increased means add

x/3 + 12 =20

Subtract 12 from each side

x/3 +12-12 = 20-12

x/3=8

Multiply each side by 3

x/3 * 3 =8*3

x= 24

In a school election, Juan received 4 times as many votes as Wayne, Neal recurved twenty less votes than Juan, and Kerry got hal

77julia77 [94]

Votes received by Wayne is 112

Solution:

To find: votes received by Wayne

Let the vote received by Wayne be "x"

Juan received 4 times as many votes as Wayne

Therefore,

Juan votes = 4 times as many votes as Wayne

Juan votes = 4x ---- eqn 1

Neal received twenty less votes than Juan

Neal votes = twenty less votes than Juan

Neal votes = Juan votes - 20

Neal votes = 4x - 20 ---- eqn 2

Kerry got half as many votes as Neal

Kerry votes = half of neal votes

Kerry votes = $\frac{4x - 20}{2}$ ---- eqn 3

The total votes cast in the election was 1,202

Wayne votes + Juan votes + Neal votes + Kerry votes = 1202

Plug in eqn 1 , eqn 2, eqn 3

$x + 4x + 4x - 20 + \frac{(4x - 20)}{2} = 1202\\\\2x + 8x + 8x - 40 + 4x - 20 = 1202 \times 2\\\\22x - 60 = 2404\\\\22x = 2404 + 60\\\\22x = 2464\\\\x = 112$

Therefore votes received by Wayne is 112

Why is the answer undefined????? Please explain to me!! Thanks!!!!!

Alja [10]

If you input: 1/0.00000001 in a calculator, the result will be a very large number
so as you get closer to zero, the result of 1/x larger until it becomes infinite (or undefined as some people like to call it) at 1/0

Let f(x) = 2x3 – 4x. Find f(-2).

N76 [4]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 2x^3 - 4x.....find f(-2).....so sub in -2 for x

f(-2) = 2(-2^3) - 4(-2)

f(-2) = 2(-8) + 8

f(-2) = -16 + 8

f(-2) = -8 <==
