c = k(r + 1)

8 = k(3 + 1)

8 = 4k

8/4 = k

2 = k

c=2(r + 1)

When c = 20, then

20 = 2(r + 1)

20 = 2r + 2

20 - 2 = 2r

18 = 2r

18/2 = r

9 = r

Therefore, the value of r is 9 when c is 20..

Answer:

r = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that c varies directly as (r + 1) then the equation relating them is

c = k(r + 1) ← k is the constant of variation

To find k use the condition c = 8 when r = 3, then

8 = k(3 + 1) = 4k ( divide both sides by 4 )

2 = k

c = 2(r + 1) ← equation of variation

When c = 20, then

20 = 2(r + 1) ← divide both sides by 2

10 = r + 1 ( subtract 1 from both sides )

9 = r

Solve:7 +42-32-32 = 14.3-2a +7<br> A = -3<br> A= 0<br> A= 3<br> no solution

madreJ [45]

Answer:

a = 18.15

Step-by-step explanation:

$7+42-32-32=14.3-2a+7$

Combine like terms on the left side of the equation first. Add 7 and 42, then subtract 32 from the answer you get, then subtract 32 from that answer. This is going by order of PEMDAS.

Remember PEMDAS: (numbers 3 & 4 and numbers 5 & 6 are solved from left to right)

Parentheses
Exponents
Multiplication
Division
Addition
Subtraction

$-15=14.3-2a+7$

After combining like terms on the left side, you get -15. Now combine like terms on the right side of the equation by adding 14.3 and 7.

$-15=21.3-2a$

Get -2a alone by subtracting 21.3 from both sides.

$-36.3=-2a$

Divide both sides by -2.

$a=18.15$

In this equation, a should equal $\boxed{18.15}$ .

Which expression is equivalent to 10x2y + 25x2?

babymother [125]

$10 x^{2} y +25 x^{2} = 5 x^{2} ( \frac{10 x^{2} y +25 x^{2} }{5 x^{2} }) = 5 x^{2} ( \frac{10 x^{2} y}{5 x^{2} } + \frac{25 x^{2} }{5 x^{2} } ) = 5 x^{2} ( \frac{2y}{1} + \frac{5}{1} )$

A web server hosting company advertises 99.999 percent guaranteed network uptime. (a) how many independent network servers would

miv72 [106K]

The solution for this problem would be:
Given that there is 99.999%.

Let denote n as the network servers and p as the reliability of each server.
So the probability that the network uptime = 1 - (1 - p)^n

Therefore, (1-p) ^n = 0.00001

a. x= log(1-.99999)÷log(1-.97)= 3.2833 is the answer

1-(1-.97)^3= 0.99999 + 0.0001 = 1

b. x = log(1-.99999)÷log(1-.88) = 5.43 is the answer

1-(1-.88)^3= 0.99 + 0.0001 = approx 1
