Answer:

The number is -3.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set up an equation:

Variable n = number

12 + 7n = n - 6

Assuming the question is solve for n, isolate the variable:

Subtract n from both sides:

12 + 6n = -6

Subtract 12 from both sides:

6n = -18

Divide by 6 on both sides:

n = -3

Check your work:

12 + 7(-3) = -3 - 6

12 - 21 = -3 - 6

-9 = -9

Correct

12+7n=n-6
12+6n=-6
6n=-18
n=-3

The equation a = 640s gives the relationship between s square miles and a acres. Pam owns 7.5 square miles of farmland. How many

stich3 [128]

Quantity of farmland owned by Pam = 7.5 square miles.
The other important information given in the question is the equation relating square miles and acres. Using that information, the answer to the question can be easily reached.
a = 640s
= 640 * 7.5 acres
= 4800 acres.
From the above deduction, we can conclude that the correct option among all the options that are given in the question is the third option or option "C".

Find the value of the missing coefficient in the factored form of 27f^3 + 125g^3. 27f^3+125g^3=(3f+5g)(9f^2-?fg + 25g)^2

7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for factoring a sum of cubes is:

$a^3+b^3=(a+b)(a^2-ab+b^2)$

We have a=3f and b=5g here.

So a*b in this case is 3f*5g=15fg.

The ? is 15.

What is the value of a1 of the geometric series? Sigma-Summation Underscript n = 1 Overscript infinity EndScripts 12 (negative o

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The given geometric series is

$\sum_{n = 1}^{ \infty} 12( { - \frac{1}{9} })^{n - 1}$

We want to determine the first term of this geometric series.

Recall that the explicit formula is

$a_{n} = 12( { - \frac{1}{9} })^{n - 1}$

To find the first term, we put n=1 to get:

$a_{1} = 12( { - \frac{1}{9} })^{1 - 1}$

This gives us:

$a_{1} = 12( { - \frac{1}{9} })^{0}$

$a_{1} = 12(1) = 12$

Therefore the first term is 12

Two years ago, Sally had 5,000 dogs in her dog shelter. Now she has 24,575 dogs. The rate of change is 391.5 % increase

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that Two years ago, Sally had 5,000 dogs in her dog shelter

Now she has 24,575 dogs

To find: rate of change

A rate of change is a rate that describes how one quantity changes in relation to another quantity

<h3><u>Steps to follow:</u></h3>

First: work out the difference (increase) between the two numbers you are comparing.

Increase = New Number - Original Number.

Then: divide the increase by the original number and multiply the answer by 100.

% change = Increase ÷ Original Number x 100

$\text {rate of change }=\frac{\text { new value }-\text {original value}}{\text {original value}} \times 100$

$\begin{array}{l}{\text { rate of change }=\frac{24,575-5000}{5000} \times 100} \\\\ {\text { rate of change }=\frac{19575}{5000} \times 100=391.5}\end{array}$

Thus the rate of change is 391.5 % increase
