Let, the original price of the sneakers be $x.

Given, Mr. Richard paid $3 less that half of the original price.

Half of the original price = $\frac{x}{2}

So Mr. Richard paid = $(\frac{x}{2}-3)

By buying the sneakers Mr. Richard saved = $37.

That means the subtraction of the original price and the amount Mr. Richard paid is $37.

So we can write the equation as,

x-(\frac{x}{2}-3) = 37

x-\frac{x}{2}+3 = 37

To solve it for x, first we have to move 3 to the right side by subtracting it from both sides, we will get,

x-\frac{x}{2}+3-3 = 37-3

x-\frac{x}{2}= 37-3

x-\frac{x}{2} = 34

We will subtract the left side now. To subtract fractions we will make the denominators same. Here 2 is the denominator. To make the denominator of x as 2, we will multiply the numerator and denominator of x by 2. So we can write x as \frac{2x}{2}.

\frac{2x}{2} - \frac{x}{2} = 34

\frac{(2x-x)}{2} = 34

\frac{x}{2}= 34

Now we will multiply both sides by 2 to get x.

(\frac{x}{2})(2) = (34)(2)

x = (34)(2)

x = 68

So, the original price = $68.

Mr. Richard paid = $((\frac{68}{2} -3) =$ (34-3)= $31

So we have got the required answer.

Mr. Richard paid $31 for the sneakers.

3^2 - 2x + 4 and g(x) = 5x^2 + 6x - 8 find f-g(x)
sveta [45]

Answer:

For the given functions f(x) and g(x) (f-g)(x) = -2x^{2}  - 8x +12

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, the given function are:

f(x)  = 3x^{2}  - 2x+ 4\\g(x) = 5x^{2}  + 6x -8

Now, simplifying for (f-g)(x)  =  f(x) -  g(x):

f(x) - g(x)  = (3x^{2}  - 2x+ 4) - (5x^{2}  + 6x -8)

 = 3x^{2}  - 2x+ 4- 5x^{2}  - 6x +8

Doing operation on LIKE TERMS,  we get

f(x) -  g(x) = ( 3x^{2}- 5x^{2})   + (-2x - 6x)  +( 4 +8) = -2x^{2}  - 8x + 12

Hence, for the given functions f(x) and g(x) (f-g)(x) = -2x^{2}  - 8x +12

The volume inside of a sphere is V=4πr33 where r is the radius of the sphere. Your group has been asked to rearrange the formula
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Therefore,

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi }}

is the required r

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of inside of the sphere is given as

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

where r is the radius of the sphere

To Find:

r =?

Solution:

We have

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}   ......Given

3\times V=4\pi r^{3} \\\\\therefore r^{3}=\frac{3V}{4\pi } \\\\\therefore r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi }} \textrm{which is the expression for r}

Therefore,

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi }}

is the required r

A wooden board has a volume of 0.225 cubic m and a mass of 146.25 kilograms.
Triss [41]

Answer:

650 kg/m³

Step-by-step explanation:

The density is the ratio of mass to volume. The volume is the product of the dimensions of the prism.

 density = (146.25 kg)/((1.5 m)(0.75 m)(0.2 m)) = 146.25/0.225 kg/m³

 = 650 kg/m³

Hope this answer helps you :)

Have a great day

Write a formula for this sequence: 8,-1,-10,-19
Romashka [77]
This is an arith. sequence, and the common difference is -9.

a(n+1) = a(n)-9, with a(1)=8.  Thus, if we look at the first term, we see 8; subracting 9 from 8 produces the second term (-1).
