Answer: x = 5/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Then

3x + 4 = 9

3x = 9-4

3x = 5

x = 5/3

Answer:

x = 5/3 or 1.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of 3 times a number and 4 is 9

Step 1. Write the phrase as an expression

3x + 4 = 9

Step 2. Solve for x

3x + 4 = 9

Step 3. Subtract 4 from 9

3x = 9 - 4

3x = 5

Step 4. Isolate the variable

x = 5/3

The number of measles cases increased 13.6 % to 57 cases this year, what was the number of cases prior to the increase? (Express

ELEN [110]

Answer:

The number of cases prior to the increase is 50.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the number of measles cases increased by 13.6% and the number of cases after increase is 57.

We need to find the number of cases prior to the increase.

Let x be the number of cases prior to the increase.

x + 13.6% of x = 57

$x+x\times \frac{13.6}{100}=57$

$x+0.136x=57$

$1.136x=57$

Divide both the sides by 1.136.

$\frac{1.136x}{1.136}=\frac{57}{1.136}$

$x=50.176$

$x\approx 50$

Therefore the number of cases prior to the increase is 50.

A rock dropped on the moon will increase its speed from 0 m/s (its starting

belka [17]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answer is:

The correct option is the option D

$g=1.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

To calculate the acceleration, we need to use the following formula that involves the given information (initial speed, final speed, and time).

We need to use the following free fall equation:

$V_{f}=V_{o}-g*t$

Where:

$V_{f}$ is the final speed.

$V_{o}$ is the initial speed.

g is the acceleration due to gravity.

t is the time.

We are given the following information:

$V_{f}=8.15\frac{m}{s}$

$V_{o}=0\frac{m}{s}$

$t=5seconds$

Then, using the formula to isolate the acceleration, we have:

$V_{f}=V_{o}-g*t$

$V_{f}=V_{o}-g*t\\\\g*t=V_{o}-V_{f}\\\\g=\frac{V_{o}-V_{f}}{t}$

Now, substituting we have:

$g=\frac{V_{o}-V_{f}}{t}$

$g=\frac{0-8.15\frac{m}{s}}{5seconds}=-1.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Therefore, since we are looking for a magnitude, we have that the obtained value will be positive, so:

$g=1.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Hence, the correct option is the option D

$g=1.63\frac{m}{s^{2}}$

Have a nice day!

Three times one number added to five times another number is 54. The second number is two less than the first. Use a system of e

worty [1.4K]

Answer:

8 and 6

Step-by-step explanation:

If you use x for the first number, and y for the second, you get equations of 3x+5y=54 and x-2=y.

You can substitute the second equation into the first one to solve it. This gives 3x+5(x-2)=54.

The brackets can be expanded to 3x+5x-10=54. Collecting like terms makes it 8x-10=54.

Next, we add 10 to both sides. This gives 8x=64.

From there, we isolate the x by dividing both sides by 8, giving x=8.

To work out the second number, we can sub 8 for x in either equation (I'm using the second one as it's simpler).

This comes to y=8-2, therefore y=6.
