A bag contains white marbles and red marbles, 20 in total. The number of white marbles is 5 more than 2 times the number of red

marbles. How many white marbles are there?
Mathematics

Nitella [24]3 years ago

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

let r represent red marbles then white = 2r + 5 and total is 20, thus

r + 2r + 5 = 20 ( subtract 5 from both sides )

3r = 15 ( divide both sides by 3 )

r = 5 ← number of red marbles

Thus number of white = 20 - 5 = 15

Doss [256]
42 firefighters in total.

16 volunteered for the special rescue team.

n + 16 = 42

or it could be this way:

42 - 16 = n

Jay on started off his penny collection with 1 penny. He then adds 5 pennies to his collection each day. How could you change th
nata0808 [166]

Answer:

By doubling each day

Step-by-step explanation:

Jay is increasing  daily a fixed amount of pennies to his collection.  That's an arithmetic series, because to obtain the next term you have to do an addition.

To get a geometric series or progression you have to find the next term through multiplication.

So, if he wants to convert his series into a geometric series, he'd have to double his contribution to his collection each day (as an example).

Find f.<br><br> A) 7.4<br><br> B) 8.2<br><br> C) 10.5<br><br> D) 11.1
tatyana61 [14]
F=72

g=6

------------

\cos { \left( F \right)  } =\frac { { e }^{ 2 }+{ g }^{ 2 }-{ f }^{ 2 } }{ 2eg }

Therefore:

\cos { \left( 72 \right)  } =\frac { { e }^{ 2 }+{ 6 }^{ 2 }-{ f }^{ 2 } }{ 2\cdot e\cdot 6 } \\ \\ \cos { \left( 72 \right)  } =\frac { { e }^{ 2 }+36-{ f }^{ 2 } }{ 12e }

\\ \\ 12e\cdot \cos { \left( 72 \right)  } ={ e }^{ 2 }+36-{ f }^{ 2 }\\ \\ \therefore \quad { f }^{ 2 }={ e }^{ 2 }-12e\cdot \cos { \left( 72 \right)  } +36\\ \\ \therefore \quad f=\sqrt { { e }^{ 2 }-12e\cdot \cos { \left( 72 \right) +36 }  } \\ \\ \therefore \quad f=\sqrt { e\left( e-12\cos { \left( 72 \right)  }  \right) +36 }

But what is e?

E=76

G=32

g=6

And:

\frac { e }{ \sin { \left( E \right)  }  } =\frac { g }{ \sin { \left( G \right)  }  }

Which means that:

\frac { e }{ \sin { \left( 76 \right)  }  } =\frac { 6 }{ \sin { \left( 32 \right)  }  } \\ \\ \therefore \quad e=\frac { 6\cdot \sin { \left( 76 \right)  }  }{ \sin { \left( 32 \right)  }  }

If you take this value into account, you will discover that f is...

f=\sqrt { \frac { 6\cdot \sin { \left( 76 \right)  }  }{ \sin { \left( 32 \right)  }  } \left( \frac { 6\cdot \sin { \left( 76 \right)  }  }{ \sin { \left( 32 \right)  }  } -12\cos { \left( 72 \right)  }  \right) +36 } \\ \\ \therefore \quad f=10.8\quad \left( 1\quad d.p \right)

So I would have to say that the answer is approximately (c).

Jay took a number, n, and increased it by 25%. Then, he doubled the resulting product. Which of the following is equivalent to t
ruslelena [56]

Answer: Multiplying the number by 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Jay took a number, n, and increased it by 25%. The value gotten will be:

= n + (25% × n)

= n + (0.25 × n)

= n + 0.25n

= 1.25n

After that, Then, he doubled the resulting product. The value now gotten will be:

= 2 × 1.25n

= 2.50n

Therefore, the equivalent will be multiplying the number by 2.5. This will be:

= n × 2.5

= 2.5n

Therefore, it's thesame with the value gotten.

The correct option is D.
