Answer:
x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x = the number. Then
"Triple a number" means 3x
"is the same as" means =
"double the number increased by 5" means 2x + 7
∴ 3x = 2x + 7
Subtract 2x from each side
x = 7
The answer is x = 7.
Check:
3 × 7 = 2 × 7 + 7
21 = 14 + 7
21 = 21
OK.
Answer:
12 1/2 or 12.5
Step-by-step explanation:
all you have to do is multiply 15 times 5/6
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
first you multiply 45 by .40 you multiply by .40 because that is the percent increase.
45*.40=18
then you just add the 18 to 45 which get you 63.
answer:40%
Let's x represents the first odd integer
The next consecutive integer would be represented as x+2.
So x and x+2 being multiplied together will give us 1443:
(x)(x+2)=1443
x^2+2x=1443
x^2+2x-1443=0
By solving the quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, x will equal to 37 and -39.
Since the problem says "integers", so I'm assuming two pairs of consecutive integers would be ok.
With that said you 1st pair will be: 37,39
Your second pair will be: -37,-39.
Answer:
f(x) = x^2 is a classic example
f( 3 ) = 9 and
f( -3 ) = 9, but
f^(-1)[9] is undefined because the result can be 3 and -3
