Let the positive number x

Then multiply by 4 : 4x

Subtracted by the number which is x-4x

Then we have x-4x=-21

Answer:

The number is 7

Step-by-step explanation:

certain positive number: x

x is multipled by 4:

4x

result of this is subtracted from the original number:

so original number minus 4x,

x - 4x

the result is 21 less than 0, this means negative 21

x - 4x = 0 - 21 = -21

do algebra:

-3x = -21

multiply both sides by -1

3x = 21

divide both sides by 3

x=7

(certain positive number: x) is equal to 7

. Quantas senhas com 4 algarismos diferentes podemos escrever com os algarismos 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6?
ruslelena [56]

Answer:

We can write 360 distinct passwords using the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to find how many passwords with 4 different digits can we write with the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Firstly, it must be known here that to calculate the above situation we have to use Permutation and not combination because here the order of the numbers in a password matter.

Since we are given six numbers (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6) and have to make 4 different digits passwords.

  • Now, for first digit of the password, we have 6 possibilities (numbers from 1 to 6).
  • Similarly, for second digit of the password, we have 5 possibilities (because one number from 1 to 6 has been used above and it can't be repeated).
  • Similarly, for the third digit of the password, we have 4 possibilities (because two numbers from 1 to 6 have been used above and they can't be repeated).
  • Similarly, for the fourth digit of the password, we have 3 possibilities (because three numbers from 1 to 6 have been used above and they can't be repeated).

So, the number of passwords with 4 different digits we can write = 6 \times 5 \times 4 \times 3  = 360 possibilities.

Hence, we can write 360 distinct passwords using the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

Costs of homes can be very different in different parts of the United States. a. A 450-square-foot apartment in New York City co
VLD [36.1K]

Answer:

The cost of homes per square foot differs in different part of the United states. The cost of homes per square foot is gotten by using the formula:

cost of homes per square foot = Cost of apartment / area of apartment

1) Cost of apartment = $540000, area of apartment = 450 ft²

cost of homes per square foot = Cost of apartment / area of apartment = $540000/ 450 ft² = $1200 / ft²

2) cost of homes per square foot = $110/ ft²,  area of apartment = 2100 ft²

cost of homes per square foot = Cost of apartment / area of apartment

$110 / ft² = Cost of apartment / 2100 ft²

Cost of apartment = $110 / ft² × 2100 ft² = $231000

Step-by-step explanation:

What is the slope of the line that passes through the point (-9,8) and (-3-1)?
natulia [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x₁, y₁) = (-9 ,8)   and (x₂ , y₂) = (-3 , -1)

Slope = \dfrac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}\\\\=\dfrac{-1-8}{-3-[-9]}\\\\=\dfrac{-9}{-3+9}\\\\=\dfrac{-9}{6}\\\\=\dfrac{-3}{2}
