2 * (w - 5) = 6

What you do is read the sentence and make an equation. So let's do that.

"Twice the difference of a number and 5 is equal to 6"

There's several parts. "Twice the difference" indicates that you're multiplying by 2, and "difference of a number and 5" would indicate subtraction. And finally, "is equal to 6" would indicate an equality. So let's make the equation.

"Twice the difference"
2 * ?

"difference of a number and 5"
2 * (w - 5)

""is equal to 6"
2 * (w - 5) = 6

So your desired equation is
2 * (w - 5) = 6

algol [13]

Using linear function concepts, it is found that the correct statements are given by:

  • The number of biology degrees increases by about 2,414 each year after 2000.
  • About 73,000 students graduated with degrees in psychology in 2000.
  • In 2000, more students graduated with psychology degrees than biology degrees.

<h3>What is a linear function?</h3>

A linear function is modeled by:

y = mx + b

In which:

  • m is the slope, which is the rate of change, that is, by how much y changes when x changes by 1.
  • b is the y-intercept, which is the value of y when x = 0, and can also be interpreted as the initial value.

In this problem, the number of college seniors who graduated with a bachelor's degree in psychology, in t years after 2000, is modeled by:

P(t) = 2,376t + 73,219.

For biology, the amount is given by:

B(t) = 2,414t + 56,545.

Then, the true statements are given by:

  • The number of biology degrees increases by about 2,414 each year after 2000.
  • About 73,000 students graduated with degrees in psychology in 2000.
  • In 2000, more students graduated with psychology degrees than biology degrees.

A company plans to enclose three parallel rectangular areas for sorting returned goods. The three areas are within one large rec
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The largest total area that can be enclosed will be a square of length 272 yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

First we get the perimeter of the large rectangular enclosure.

Perimeter of a rectangle =2(l + w)

Perimeter of the large rectangular enclosure= 1088 yard

Therefore:

2(L+W)=1088

The region inside the fence is the area

Area: A = LW

We need to solve the perimeter formula for either the length or width.

2L+ 2W= 1088 yd

2W= 1088– 2L

W = \frac{1088-2L}{2}

W = 544–L

Now substitute W = 544–L into the area formula

A = LW

A = L(544 – L)

A = 544L–L²

Since A is a quadratic expression, we re-write the expression with the exponents in descending order.

A = –L²+544L

Next, we look for the value of the x coordinate

L= -\frac{b}{2a}

L= -\frac{544}{2X-1}

L=272 yards

Plugging L=272 yards into the calculation for area:

A = –L²+544L

A(272)=-272²+544(272)

=73984 square yards

Thus the largest area that could be encompassed would be a square where each side has a length of 272 yards and a width of:

W = 544 – L

= 544 – 272

= 272 yards
