Let the total number of people surveyed by y.
we can solve this by using algebra.
to find the percentage of a number in terms of decimals or integers, just multiply the total by the percentage,
so with this question,
y x 40% = 20
shift x40% to the other side and turn it into /40%
y = 20 / 40%
change the percentage into decimals for easier calculations,
y = 20 / 0.4
y = 50
therefore, the answer to this is 50 people.
n, n + 2 - two consecutive even integers
3n = 2(n + 2) + 16 |use distributive property
3n = (2)(n) + (2)(2) + 16
3n = 2n + 4 + 16
3n = 2n + 20 |subtract 2n from both sides
n = 20
n + 2 = 20 + 2 = 22
Answer: 20, 22.
Answer:
f(3) just means to substitute 3 in for x.
Step-by-step explanation:
f(3) just means to substitute 3 in for x.
f
(
3
)
=
−
2
Explanation:
f
(
3
)
=
−
(
3
)
2
+
7
According to the order of operations, first square the 3, which is 9.
f
(
3
)
=
−
9
+
7
The negative sign in front of the x squared is equivalent to multiplying by negative one.
Add -9 and 7 together, which is -2
So,
f
(
3
)
=
−
2
