Answer:
x = 30.0462
Step-by-step explanation:
- Divide each side by 3 to cancel out the 3 next to x. It should now look like this: x = 30.0462
I hope this helps!
Answer:
24s^2, 54s^2, 96s^2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let s represent the initial side length of the cube. Then the area of each face of the cube is A = 6s^2 (recalling that the area of a square of side length s is s^2).
a) Now suppose we double the side length. The total area of the 6 faces of the cube will now be A = 6(2s)^2, or 24s^2 (a 24 times larger surface area),
b) tripled: A = 6(3s)^2 = 54x^2
c) quadrupled? A = 6(4s)^2 = 96s^2
Answer:
92 attendees had activity cards
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number of students with activity cards. Then 130-x is the number without, and the total revenue is ...
7x +10(130 -x) = 1024
7x +1300 -10x = 1024 . . . . eliminate parentheses
-3x = -276 . . . . . . . . . . . . . collect terms; subtract 1300
x = 92 . . . . . . divide by 3
92 students with activity cards attended the dance.

<em>Comment on the solution</em>
Often, you will see such a problem solved using two equations. For example, they might be ...
Let 'a' represent the number with an activity card; 'w' the number without. Then ...
- a+w = 130 . . . . the total number of students
- 7a +10w = 1024 . . . . the revenue from ticket sales
The problem statement asks for the value of 'a', so you want to eliminate w from these equations. You can do that using substitution. Using the first equation to write an expression for w, you have ...
w = 130-a
and making the substitution into the second equation gives ...
7a +10(130 -a) = 1024
This should look a lot like the equation we used above. There, we skipped the extra variable and went straight to the single equation we needed to solve.
Answer: 36% are not comedies
Step-by-step explanation:
32/50 = 64%
100 - 64 = 36
