Based on the equation given, it can be deduced that the value of the number will be 36.

Let the number be represented by x

Therefore, seven less than one-fourth of a number will be:

=(1/4 × x) - 7

= 0.25x - 7

Now, seven less than one-fourth of a number is 2 will be written as:

0.25x - 7 = 2

0.25x = 2 + 7

0.25x = 9

x = 9/0.25

x = 36

Please Help? A circle has an arc length of 5π in. The central angle for this arc measures π/3 radians. What is the area of the a

Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The area of the associated sector is $\frac{25}{24}\pi \ in^{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1

Find the radius of the circle

we know that

The circumference of a circle is equal to

$C=2\pi r$

we have

$C=5\pi\ in$

substitute and solve for r

$5\pi=2\pi r$

$r=2.5\ in$

step 2

Find the area of the circle

we know that

The area of the circle is equal to

$A=\pi r^{2}$

we have

$r=2.5\ in$

substitute

$A=\pi (2.5^{2})=6.25\pi\ in^{2}$

step 3

Find the area of the associated sector

we know that

$2\pi\ radians$ subtends the complete circle of area $6.25\pi\ in^{2}$

by proportion

Find the area of a sector with a central angle of $\pi/3\ radians$

$\frac{6.25\pi }{2\pi} =\frac{x}{\pi/3}\\x=6.25*(\pi/3)/2\\ \\x=\frac{25}{24}\pi \ in^{2}$

Use completing the square to solve the equation x2 - 10x = -8.

Alenkasestr [34]

A. X^2-10x. =-8
To complete the square you get half of -10 and then square that number half of -10 is -5 and -5 times -5 equals positive 25 that would you add to each side

x^2-10x+25=-8+25

A slice of pizza costs $1.57. How much will 27 slices cost?

elena-s [515]

It will be cost $ 42.39 for 27 slices of pizza

<h3>Further Explanation</h3>

A slice of pizza = $1.57

27 slices of pizza = the number of pizza x price/slice

= 27 x 1.57

We are going to use standard algorithm to solve this multiplication

1.57 ⇒ 2 decimal places

<u> 27</u> x ⇒ 0 decimal place

1099

<u> 314 </u>+

42.39 ⇒ 2 decimal places

In decimal number multiplication, the process is the same with the whole number multiplication. Only always remember when to put the decimal point in the answer.
