Answer:

2x + 7 = 25

x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Gary: 25

Sean: x

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

Let's break down the sentence into mathematical terms

Gary is 25 years old. That is 7 more than twice Sean's age.

In math, is means equal to. It is represented with an equal sign (=)

Gary = 25. 25 = 7 more than twice Sean's age.

7 more is represented by 7 +

Gary = 25. 25 = 7 + than twice Sean's age.

Twice means double which is 2 ·

Gary = 25. 25 = 7 + 2 · Sean's Age

Sean's Age will be represented by x

Gary = 25. 25 = 7 + 2x

We don't need it to say "Gary = 25" in our equation.

25 = 7 + 2x

Let's rewrite it with the associative property.

2x + 7 = 25

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

Now, solve

2x + 7 = 25

-7 -7

2x = 18

÷2 ÷2

x = 7

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

Sean is 7 years old.

Explain how to determine if something is a vector space or not

nlexa [21]

All you do is referring to the following definition:

Definition: A vector space is a set V on which two operations + and · are defined, called vector addition and scalar multiplication.

The operation + (vector addition) must satisfy the following conditions:

Closure: If u and v are any vectors in V, then the sum u + v belongs to V.

(1) Commutative law: For all vectors u and v in V, u + v = v + u

(2) Associative law: For all vectors u, v, w in V, u + (v + w) = (u + v) + w

(3) Additive identity: The set V contains an additive identity element, denoted by 0, such that for any vector v in V, 0 + v = v and v + 0 = v.

(4) Additive inverses: For each vector v in V, the equations v + x = 0 and x + v = 0 have a solution x in V, called an additive inverse of v, and denoted by - v.

The operation · (scalar multiplication) is defined between real numbers (or scalars) and vectors, and must satisfy the following conditions:

Closure: If v in any vector in V, and c is any real number, then the product c · v belongs to V.

(5) Distributive law: For all real numbers c and all vectors u, v in V, c · (u + v) = c · u + c · v

(6) Distributive law: For all real numbers c, d and all vectors v in V, (c+d) · v = c · v + d · v

(7) Associative law: For all real numbers c,d and all vectors v in V, c · (d · v) = (cd) · v

(8) Unitary law: For all vectors v in V, 1 · v = v

1.08t can be written as (1.081/12)12t to give the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate based on an annual rate of 8%. Us

kobusy [5.1K]

Because t is given in years and 1.08 = 1 + 0.08, the annual percent increase
is 8%.
To find the monthly percent increase that gives an 8% annual increase,
use the fact that
t = $\frac{1}{12} * 12 t$ 
and the properties of exponents to rewrite the
model in a form that reveals the monthly growth rate.

$1.08^{t} 
= 1.08^{(1/12)(12t)} 
= (1.08^{1/12}) ^{12t} 
= 1.0064634^{12t}$
