Six more than twice a number is four

Mathematics
1 answer:
Paha777 [63]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

6+2x=4

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

For this problem allow "the number" to be represented by the variable x. To solve you must first write out the equation algebraically. The phrase "six more than" implies that 6 is being added to something. Also, "twice a number" means that the number is being multiplied by 2. Finally, "is 4" shows that the expression is equal to 4. So, the final equation is, 6+2x=4.

To find x subtract 6 from both sides

  • 2x=-2

Then, divide both sides by 2

  • x=-1

Therefore, the number in the question must be -1.

The figure shown below is composed of a semicircle and a non-overlapping equilateral triangle and contains a hole that is also c
Sloan [31]

Check the picture below.

since we know the radius of the larger semicircle is 8, thus its diameter is 16, which is the length of one side of the equilateral triangle.  We also know the smaller semicircle has a radius of 1/3, and thus a diameter of 2/3, namely the lenght of one side of the small equilateral triangle.

now, if we just can get the area of the larger figure and the area of the smaller one and subtract the smaller from the larger, we'll be in effect making a hole/gap in the larger and what's leftover is the shaded figure.

\bf \stackrel{\textit{area of a semi-circle}}{A=\cfrac{1}{2}\pi r^2\qquad r=radius}~\hspace{10em}\stackrel{\textit{area of an equilateral triangle}}{A=\cfrac{s^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\qquad s=\stackrel{side's}{length}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ \stackrel{\textit{\Large Areas}}{\left[ \stackrel{\textit{larger figure}}{\cfrac{1}{2}\pi 8^2~~+~~\cfrac{16^2\sqrt{3}}{4}} \right]\qquad -\qquad \left[ \cfrac{1}{2}\pi \left( \cfrac{1}{3} \right)^2 +\cfrac{\left( \frac{2}{3} \right)^2\sqrt{3}}{4}\right]}

\bf \left[ 32\pi +64\sqrt{3} \right]\qquad -\qquad \left[ \cfrac{\pi }{18}+\cfrac{\frac{4}{9}\sqrt{3}}{4} \right] \\\\\\ \left[ 32\pi +64\sqrt{3} \right]\qquad -\qquad \left[ \cfrac{\pi }{18}+\cfrac{\sqrt{3}}{9} \right]~~\approx~~ 211.38 - 0.37~~\approx~~ 211.01

Find the square. (1/4A + 1/4B)^2<br><br> a) 1/16A^2 + 1/8AB + 1/16B^2<br> b) 1/4A^2 + 1/8AB + 1/4B^2
alisha [4.7K]

(a + b)^2 = a^2 + 2ab + b^2

(\dfrac{1}{4}A + \dfrac{1}{4}B)^2 =

= \dfrac{1}{16}A^2 + \dfrac{1}{8}AB + \dfrac{1}{16}B^2

Answer: A.

Another way to solve by factoring 1/4.

(\dfrac{1}{4}A + \dfrac{1}{4}B)^2 =

= [\dfrac{1}{4}(A + B)]^2

= (\dfrac{1}{4})^2(A + B)^2

= \dfrac{1}{16}(A^2 + 2AB + B^2)

= \dfrac{1}{16}A^2 + \dfrac{1}{16}2AB + \dfrac{1}{16}B)^2

= \dfrac{1}{16}A^2 + \dfrac{1}{8}AB + \dfrac{1}{16}B)^2

The head of the Westlane Cultural Center wants to get a sense of how quickly pledges from donors arrive at the center. It takes
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

95.64% probability that pledges are received within 40 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples are solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 28, \sigma = 7

What is the probability that pledges are received within 40 days

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 40. So

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{40 - 28}{7}

Z = 1.71

Z = 1.71 has a pvalue of 0.9564

95.64% probability that pledges are received within 40 days

A one year membership to a gym Costa $725 the registration fee is $125 and the remaining amount la paid monthly define a variabl
konstantin123 [22]

Heyo. Let's go ahead and set this problem up

It should look like this

12x + 125 = 725

The variables can be another letter, doesn't matter.

12 will stand for the months in a year

x is the amount paid per month

125 is the registration free

725 is the one year membership total


Subtract both sides by 125 to get:

12x = 600

Divide both sides by 12 to get:

x=50

That being said, each month, a new member will pay $50.
