Product of 4 and a number translates to 4x because the word product means multiplication.
We then need to subtract one from that which would be 4x - 1.
The word is translates to "equals" so 4x - 1 = 11 is the translation of the whole problem.
Now solve that equation.
4x - 1 = 11
1st add +1 +1
2nd simplify 4x = 12
3rd divide. 4 4
x = 3
Answer:
10%
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage increase for any change is calculated by formula
{(Final value - initial value)/initial value} * 100
Given
population in 2010 = 2 million ----------->initial value
population in 2015 = 2.2 million ----------->Final value
X=8.
Following the similarity statement, we know that AC is to DF as BC is to EF. The ratio would be:
24/(x-2) = 20/5
Cross multiply:
24*5 = 20(x-2)
Use the distributive property:
120 = 20x - 40
Add 40 to both sides:
120+40 = 20x - 40 + 40
160 = 20x
Divide both sides by 20:
160/20 = 20x/20
8 = x
Answer:
The probability of choosing a professor or an instructor is 47.22%.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that the mathematics faculty at a college consists of 11 professors, 12 associate professors, 7 assistant professors, and 6 instructors, if a faculty member is selected, to find the probability of choosing a professor or an instructor the following calculation must be performed:
11 + 12 + 7 + 6 = 100
11 + 6 = X
36 = 100
17 = X
17 x 100/36 = X
1700/36 = X
47.22 = X
The probability of choosing a professor or an instructor is 47.22%.
First step: combine the x terms, x - 4x = -3x.
Second step: Add 32 to both sides, which will cancel out the -32.
Now you have -3x = 32.
To solve for x, divide 32 by -3. The answer is -10.667.
