Answer:

D 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number

2(x-4) = 20

Divide each side by 2

2/2(x-4) = 20/2

x-4 = 10

Add 4 to each side

x-4+4 = 10+4

x = 14

Answer:

The number is 14

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's call this unknown number of x:

2×(x – 4) = 20

2x – 8 = 20

2x = 20 + 8

2x = 28

x = 28/2

x = 14

What is 2.26 (6 repeating) as a fraction?
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

34/15

Step-by-step explanation:

I recognized the form of this decimal as a number divided by 3. However, when I multiplied it by 3, I got 6.8. This means that the fraction was not fully simplified. Multiplying by 5, I got 34. Since I had to multiply by 3 and then by 5 to get there, I multiplied by a total of 15. Hope this helps!

Only do question 17<br><br> 50 points<br><br> Topic: Percentage
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

Cedarville

Year 1

1200 * 8% = 96 people

At the end the population is 1296

Year 2

1296 * 7% =90.72

1296+90.72 =1386.72 people

Pinedale

1200*15%=180

1200+180 = 1380

Cedarville has more people at the end of 2 years by 6.72 people

HELP PLEASE BRAINLIEST!
7nadin3 [17]
A straight line can be drawn through all the points and the line passes through the point where x=0 and y=0. This best describes a graph of paired points that form a proportional relationship. You can tell this because the line passes directly through the origin (0,0). It also says that it is a straight line that passes through the points, so most likely the line will contain points that have a proportional relationship. Hope that helps :)

Will give brainliest! 20 Points!<br> Hi! Some help with these problems would be great thank you!

Answer:

<u>Question 1:</u>

Draw a line that crosses the largest number of dots. Then use the line to check the best prediction of the number of baseballs that will be used if 275 pitches are thrown.

<u>Question 2:</u>

A). y = 1.2x - 6

<u>Question 3:</u>

J). y = \frac{9}{4}x - 81

<u>Question 4:</u>

F). f(n) = -3n + 24 *<em>Although it doesn't work when f(n) = 6 and n = 6*</em>

<u />

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Question 2:</u>

The line passes throught point (5, 0) and is parallel to the line whose equation is y = 1.2x + 3.8

For parallel lines, their values of slope is the same.

So our line, that passes through point (5, 0), also has a slope of 1.2

Taking another point (x, y) on our line;

Slope = change in y ÷ change in x

1.2 = \frac{y - 0}{x - 5}

y = 1.2x - 1.2(5)

y = 1.2x - 6

<u>Question 3:</u>

The line passes x-axis at point (36, 0)

The line is perpendicular to another line whose equation is y = -\frac{4}{9}x + 5

For perpendicular lines, the product of their slopes = -1

Let's say the slope of our unknown line is a ;

Given: The slope of our second line is -4/9

So,

a × -4/9 = -1

a = -1 × -9/4 = 9/4

Taking another point (x, y) on our unknown line;

Slope = change in y ÷ change in x

9/4 = \frac{y - 0}{x - 36}

Cross-multiplying that you get;

y = \frac{9}{4}x - 81

<u>Question 4:</u>

The function that model that situation is f(n) = -3n + 24 though it doesn't work when f(n) = 6 and n = 6
