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

How many solutions does the equation have?
Elina [12.6K]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  1 solution

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficients of d are different on the two sides of the equation (3d vs 6d), so the equation has one solution.

__

Dividing by 3 gives ...

  d +11 = 2(d +33)

  d + 11 = 2d + 66

Adding -d-66 to both sides gives ...

  -55 = d . . . . . . the one solution

What is the inequality of this graph?
Over [174]

Answer: y < 3x -4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know two points of line: (0,-4) and (1,-1)

Therefore, we can find the slope: 3/1.

We know the y intercept.

Dashed line means the inequality is not apart of the region.

y < 3x-4

Given the function graphed below, what is the average rate of change between f(3) and f(7)?
Shkiper50 [21]
Answer: choice D) 20

-------------------------------

Explanation:

Locate 3 on the x axis number line. Draw a vertical line through 3 and this vertical line will cross the parabola at some point P. Mark this point P on the parabola. Then draw a horizontal line from P to the y axis. The horizontal line will land on y = 10. In short, this all shows us that (3,10) is a point on this parabola.

Repeat those steps above, but now for x = 7. You'll see that (7,90) is another point on this parabola.

We need to find the slope of the line through the two points (3,10) and (7,90). The average rate of change from x = 3 to x = 7 is the same as the slope of the line through those two points.

To find the slope, we use the slope formula
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
where (x1,y1) and (x2,y2) are the two points, and m is the slope

In this case,
(x1,y1) = (3,10) and (x2,y2) = (7,90)
further breaking down to
x1=3
y1=10
x2=7
y2=90
So we'll plug those four pieces of info into the equation and simplifying to get...
m = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
m = (90 - 10)/(7 - 3)
m = 80/4
m = 20

The slope of the line is 20, so therefore, the average rate of change is 20.

HELP ASAP what is 9/10-5/10=
Fofino [41]

9/10 - 5/10

because the denominators are the same you keep it and just subtract the numerators

=4/10

This can be reduced to 2/5
