Answer:
100 lightbulbs
Step-by-step explanation:
Basically find the percentage of lightbulbs that are bad. 5/136. So about 3. 6 percent. I'm going to use a more exact form of this percent for my calculations though. Now use the decimal for of this (0.036....) and multiply it by 2720. Using my exact decimal, the answer just so happened to be exactly 100. So there will be 100 defective lightbulbs per day. (Teachers are a stickler for units, so don't forget them if it's for a teacher)
Hope this helps!
Answer:
2. x = 47
3. x = 2
Step-by-step explanation:
These problems involve proportions, or equivalent ratios. You can solve for 'x' in each by using cross-multiplication and division.
2. 28(7) = 4(x + 2)
Distribute = 196 = 4x + 8
Subtract 8 from both sides: 196 - 8 = 4x + 8 - 8 or 188 = 4x
Solve for x: x = 47
3. 2(2x + 7) = 11(3x - 4)
Distribute: 4x + 14 = 33x - 44
Add 44 to both sides: 4x + 14 + 44 = 33x - 44 + 44 or 4x + 58 = 33x
Subtract 4x from both sides: 4x + 58 - 4x = 33x - 4x or 58 = 29x
Solve for x: x = 2
Answer:
Your first instinct might be to go ahead and add the x terms together, BUT this would be a bad thing to do! You cannot combine the x2 and 2x, because the first term has an exponent (2) and the second one does not have an exponent; therefore, you cannot add them together!
Step-by-step explanation:
You reduce it to 1/6 because 6 goes into 6 once and 6 goes into 36 six times giving you 1/6
Answer:
- 75 and - 28
Step-by-step explanation:
To evaluate f(6) substitute x = 6 into f(x)
f(6) = - 2(6)² - 3 = - 2(36) - 3 = - 72 - 3 = - 75
Similarly
g(5) = - 5(5) - 3 = - 25 - 3 = - 28
