Answer:

$x-4=385$ , $x=389$

Step-by-step explanation:

'less than" signifies that there will be subtraction in the expression

"a number" signals that there is a variable or unknown, so $x$ is used in its place.

"four less than is 385" this means that the variable minus $4$ is equal to $385$

$x-4=385$

Now, I don't know if the question calls for this, but you can take this a step further and solve the expression

$x-4=385$

add $4$ to both sides, to isolate the variable, leaving you with:

$x =389$

Ms. Watts is a famous motivational speaker. She travels across the country by jet and gives an average of ten presentations a we

expeople1 [14]

Answer:

5 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the auditorium holds an average of 1000 people each.

And that she charges $40 each.

Thus;

Total income for each speech is;

1000 × 40 = $40000

Since she gives an average of 10 presentations each week.

Total income per week = 10 × 40000 = $400,000

Now,the expenses she makes for each speech weekly is;

Renting auditorium = $15000

Motel, jet expenses, support personnel = $75000

Thus,

Total expenses per week = 15000 + 75000 = $90000

Now, total profit per week is;

P_weekly = Total income per week - Total expenses per week

P_weekly = $400000 - $90000

P_weekly = $310000

There are 52 weeks in a year, thus, profit in a year is;

P_yearly = 52 × 310000 = $16120000

Now, we want to find out how long it took her to make $1,400,000 a year.

We know that;

$16120000 was achieved in 52 weeks

Thus;$1,400,000 will be achieved in;

(1400000 × 52)/16120000 = 4.52 weeks approximately 5 weeks.

Identify the area of the trapezoid.

Vlad1618 [11]

Option B: The area of the trapezoid is 157.5 m²

Explanation:

We need to determine the area of the trapezoid.

The area of the trapezoid can be determined by the formula,

$Area=\frac{h}{2} (a+b)$

where h is the height, a and b are the base of the trapezoid.

From the figure, it is obvious that $a=14$ , $b=7$ and $h=15$

Substituting these values in the formula, we have,

$Area=\frac{15}{2} (14+7)$

Simplifying the terms, we have,

$Area=\frac{15}{2} (21)$

Multiplying the terms in the numerator, we have,

$Area=\frac{315}{2}$

Dividing, we get,

$Area= 157.5 \ m^2$

Thus, the area of the trapezoid is 157.5 m²

Hence, Option B is the correct answer.

Divide a 5-inch line into two parts so that one part (a) 2 1/4 inches shorter than the other; (b) 3 times the other.

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Part a), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x - y = 2.25
2x = 7.25
x = 3.625
y = 1.375

part b), solve this system of equations:
x + y = 5
x = 3y
y = 1.25
x = 3.75

Rounded to the nearest whole number, how many 2ft by 2ft squares will fit into circle that has a diameter of 20 feet?

seraphim [82]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a circle is pi*radius^2; the radius of this circle is 10 (20/2=10). Our area is then 100pi or ~314 square feet. A 2x2 square takes up 4 feet. 314/4 is equal to 78.5, or when rounded, 79
