number - N

The sum of a number and three more than twice that number is 27.

N + (2N + 3) = 27

what is the smaller number ?

N + 2N + 3 = 27

3N = 27 - 3

3N = 24

N = 8

Check

N + (2N + 3) = 27 = 8 + (2x8 + 3) = 8 + 16 + 3 = 27

M is the centroid (center of gravity) of △ABC, line k goes thru M and intersects AB and AC . The distances of the vertices B and

lana [24]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The midpoint of BC will be a distance from line k that is the average of the distances of B and C: (17+13)/2 = 15. Call that midpoint P. We know distance MP is half of distance MA. This same relationship will hold with respect to the distances from P and A to any line through M. That is, the distance from line k (through M) is twice the distance from P to line k: 30 units.

X^2 -50x+456=0 solve this algebraiclly find x

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

$x=-406$

Step-by-step explanation:

$x^2-50x+456=0$

$x^2-50x=-456$

This is because we subtract 456 from each side.

$x-50=-456$

We then divide the whole equation by x .

$x=-406$

Adding 50 to both sides gives us x by itself, hope this helps :D

The average score of all pro golfers for a particular course has a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 3.0 (Think of these as

bija089 [108]

Answer:

0.477 is the probability that the average score of the 36 golfers was between 70 and 71.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 70

Standard Deviation, σ = 3

Sample size, n = 36

Let the average score of all pro golfers follow a normal distribution.

Formula:

$z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}$

P(score of the 36 golfers was between 70 and 71)

$\text{Standard error of sampling} = \displaystyle\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}} = \frac{3}{\sqrt{36}} = \frac{1}{2}$

$P(70 \leq x \leq 71) = P(\displaystyle\frac{70 - 70}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{36}}} \leq z \leq \displaystyle\frac{71-70}{\frac{3}{\sqrt{36}}}) = P(0 \leq z \leq 2)\\\\= P(z \leq 2) - P(z \leq 0)\\= 0.977 - 0.500 = 0.477= 47.7\%$

$P(70 \leq x \leq 71) = 47.7\%$

0.477 is the probability that the average score of the 36 golfers was between 70 and 71.

The rate of change in the function y=x+4 is________ the rate of change of the function represented in the table.

Snezhnost [94]

Recall that the slope is the "average rate of change" of any function.

$\bf y=\stackrel{slope}{1}x+4\qquad \qquad 
\begin{array}{ccll}
x&y\\
\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\
0&6\\2&8\\4&10\\6&12
\end{array}
\\\\\\
\textit{let's check what is the slope of the tabled function}\\
\textit{by using two points from it}$

$\bf \begin{array}{lllll}
&x_1&y_1&x_2&y_2\\
% (a,b)
&({{ 2}}\quad ,&{{ 8}})\quad 
% (c,d)
&({{ 6}}\quad ,&{{ 12}})
\end{array}
\\\\\\
% slope = m
slope = {{ m}}= \cfrac{rise}{run} \implies 
\cfrac{{{ y_2}}-{{ y_1}}}{{{ x_2}}-{{ x_1}}}\implies \cfrac{12-8}{6-2}\implies \cfrac{4}{4}\implies 1$
