Answer: the number = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number.

Set equation according to the information given

2 + 8x = 2 × 25

Simplify by multiplication

2 + 8x = 50

Subtract 2 on both sides

2 + 8x - 2 = 50 - 2

8x = 48

Divide 8 on both sides

8x / 8 = 48 / 8

$\boxed {x=6}$

Hope this helps!! :)

Determine whether the following function is linear or quadratic. Identify the quadratic, linear, and constant terms. f(x)=3x(x−1

Nataliya [291]

It is quadratic, because the highest degree for x is 2, x². Expand the expression and you'll see: f(x)=3x²-3x-3x-7
simplify: f(x)=3x²-6x-7
the quadratic term is 3x², the linear term is -6x, the constant is -7

How many different towers can you make using one red, one blue and one yellow block?

icang [17]

You can make 6 different towers. If red was at the bottom, there'd be two different possibilities for that: red, yellow, blue, and red, blue, yellow. Same for if blue was at the bottom: blue, red, yellow, and blue, yellow, red. Yellow also applies: yellow, red, blue, and yellow, blue, red. 3*2=6, so 6 possible towers.
