In the last student-council elections, Jill got x number of votes. Morgan got twice as many votes as Jill. Trisha won the electi

on with 7 more votes than Morgan. If 327 students voted in the election, write and solve an equation to determine how many votes Trisha got.

Answer:

the equation is x + 2x + 2x + 7 = 327

or 5x + 7 = 327

x = 64

Trisha has 135 votes.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jill has x votes.

If Morgan got twice as many votes as Jill, then Morgan has

2 times the number of votes

or 2x

Trisha won the election with 7 more votes than Morgan's, so we add 7 to this amount

2x + 7

So assuming Jill, Morgan, and Trisha are the only three candidates:

then x + 2x + 2x + 7 = 327

Combine like terms

5x + 7 = 327

Subtract 7 from both sides

5x = 320

x = 64

Check answer for x:

64 + 2(64) + 2(64) + 7 = 64 + 128 + 128 + 7 = 327

So Trisha has

2x + 7 = 2(64) + 7 = 128 + 7 = 135 votes

PLEASE HELP ASAP WILL MARK BRAINLIEST<br><br> Solve the quadratic equation <br> 18x^2 -153x -172 =0
Vika [28.1K]

Answer:

The answer is : x = 9.505 and x = -1.005

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve the quadratic equation use the formula :

x=\frac{-b+\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

Where a is the coefficient of x² , b is the coefficient of x and c is the numerical term

∵ a = 18 , b = -153 and c = -172

∴ x=\frac{-(-153)+\sqrt{(-153)^{2}-4(18)(-172) } }{2(18)}

x = \frac{18+\sqrt{35793} }{36} &x=\frac{18-\sqrt{35793} }{36}

∴ x = 9.505 and x = -1.005

Find the value of each missing variable. y=
e-lub [12.9K]

Step-by-step explanation:

29x - 3 + 15x + 7 = 180° because these two angles are supplementary

if we add like terms

44x + 4 = 180

44x = 176 divide both sides by 44

x = 4

29x - 3 = 13y - 17 because alternate exterior angles has same measurement

since we found the value of x let's rewrite the equation

4 × 29 - 3 = 13y - 17

113 = 13y - 17

130 = 13y divide both sides by 13

10 = y

(NEED HELP ASAP)Determine whether the situation calls for a survey, an observational study, or an experiment. You want to find n
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer: The answer is "experiment."

Step-by-step explanation:

This procedure is being used in order to validate a hypothesis, particularly in a research study. In the situation above, you have to validate whether a new reading program can increase reading comprehension or not.

The experiment consists of independent, dependent, and controlled variables. The independent variables are the ones being changed by the researcher, while the dependent variables tell whether the changes in the independent variable is significant. The controlled variables are the ones that are constant.

The dependent variable above is reading comprehension, while the new reading program is the independent variable. Examples of controlled variables are the ages of the participants. The age directly affects the reading comprehension, thus it has to be considered.
