Answer: red marbles = 140

White marbles = 98

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of white marbles be represented by x

Since there are 42 more red marbles in a jar than there are white marbles, red marbles will be: = x + 42

Since there are 238 marbles in the jar, this can be represented in an equation as:

x + x+42 = 238

2x + 42 = 238

2x = 238 - 42

2x = 196

x = 196/2

x = 98

White marbles = 98

Red marbles = x + 42

= 98 + 42

= 140

- 6x +15 <br>Can anyone please show me the steps of solving this equation​
Vesna [10]

Answer:

-6x + 15 = - 69 which x = 14

Step-by-step explanation:

You cannot solve this equation. There is no equal sign anywhere. Either you mean

-6x = 15 in which case the answer is

-6x/-6 = 15/-6

x = - 2 1/2 or x= - 2.5

or you mean that you use the distributive property

- 3(2x + 5)

You may have left something out of this.

-6x + 15 = -  69

You can do it now that you have the complete equation. But you need the entire equation before you can answer the question.

Subtract - 15 from both sides.

-6x + 15 - 15 = -69 - 15

-6x = - 84

Divide by - 6

-6x/-6 = - 84/-6

x = 14

But what you want is

-6x + 15

-6*14 + 15

-84 + 15

-69

-6x + 15 = - 69

when x = 14 which is usually what you are asked.

Find the midpoint of the segment with the following endpoints.<br> (4,2) and (7,6)
Tema [17]

Answer:

The answer is

<h2>( \frac{11}{2} \: , \: 4)</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint M of two endpoints of a line segment can be found by using the formula

M = (  \frac{x1 + x2}{2} , \:  \frac{y1 + y2}{2} )

where

(x1 , y1) and (x2 , y2) are the points

From the question the points are

(4,2) and (7,6)

The midpoint is

M = ( \frac{4 + 7}{2}   \: , \:  \frac{2 + 6}{2} ) \\  = ( \frac{11}{2} \: , \:  \frac{8}{2} )

We have the final answer as

( \frac{11}{2} \: , \: 4)

Hope this helps you

Please help me! And please no scam answers

Answer:

Average rate of change: -3

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Remember:</u>

The average rate of change of a function over an interval [a,b] is \frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}

<u>Given:</u>

[a,b]=[1,7]

f(b)=f(7)

f(a)=f(1)

<u>Calculation:</u>

f(b)=f(7)=-(7)^2+5(7)+14=-49+35+14=-49+49=0

f(a)=f(1)=-(1)^2+5(1)+14=-1+5+14=4+14=18

\frac{f(b)-f(a)}{b-a}=\frac{0-18}{7-1}=\frac{-18}{6}=-3

Therefore, the average rate of change of the function g(x)=-x^2+5x+14 over the interval 1\leq x\leq7 is -3.

I need help on this problem!!! please help!!! ​
MA_775_DIABLO [31]
(0.1x-22)+(0.3x-54)=90

First combine like terms

0.4x - 76 = 90

Now add 76 on both sides

0.4x = 166

Divide by 0.4 on each side to isolate x

X= 415
