The sum of one third of a number and five is equal to six less than the number

Call the number : x

(1/3)x + 5 = x-6

=> (1/3)x + 5 - (x-6) = 0
=> (1/3)x + 5 - x + 6 = 0
Group (1/3)x with -x, 5 with 6

=> [(1/3)x - x] + (5+6) = 0
=> (-2/3)x + 11 = 0
=> (-2/3)x = -11
=> x = -11 : (-2/3) = 33/2.

Recheck : 1/3 x 33/2 + 5 = 33/6 + 5 = 63/6 = 21/2

33/2 - 21/2 = 12/2 = 6 (21/2 is 6 less than 33/2, satisfied.)

Describe the pattern of decay for the sequance.
Georgia [21]
256-192= 64

192-144=48

144-108=36

108-81=27

 81- 60.8=20.2

60.8-45.6=15.2

45.6-34.2= 11.4

34.2-25.6=8.6

25.6-19.2= 6.4

19.2-14.4= 4.8

In a class of 30 students (x+10) study algebra, (10x+3) study statistics, 4 study both algebra and statistics. 2x study only alg
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

1. The Venn diagrams are attached

2. When the statistics students number = 10·x + 3, we have;

The number of students that study

a. Algebra = 128/11

b. Statistic = 213/11

When the statistics students number = 2·x + 3, we have;

The number of students that study

a. Algebra = 16

b. Statistic = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Total number of students = 30

Number of students that study algebra n(A) = x + 10

Number of students that study statistics n(B) = 10·x + 3

Number of student that study both algebra and statistics n(A∩B) = 4

Number of student that study only algebra n(A\B) = 2·x

Number of students that study neither algebra or statistics n(A∪B)' = 3

Therefore;

The number of students that study either algebra or statistics = n(A∪B)

From set theory we have;

n(A∪B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A∩B)

n(A∪B) = 30 - 3 = 27

Therefore, we have;

n(A∪B) = x + 10 + 10·x + 3 - 4 = 27

11·x+13 = 27 + 4 = 31

11·x = 18

x = 18/11

The number of students that study

a. Algebra

n(A) = 18/11 + 10 = 128/11

b. Statistic

n(B) = 213/11

Hence, we have;

n(A - B) = n(A) - n(A∩B) = 128/11 - 4 = 84/11

Similarly, we have;

n(B - A) = n(B) - n(A∩B) = 213/11 - 4 = 169/11

However, assuming n(B) = (2·x + 3), we have;

n(A∪B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A∩B)

n(A∪B) = 30 - 3 = 27

Therefore, we have;

n(A∪B) = x + 10 + 2·x + 3 - 4 = 27

2·x+3 + x + 10= 27 + 4 = 31

3·x = 18

x = 6

Therefore, the number of students that study

a. Algebra

n(A) = 16

b. Statistics

n(B) = 15

Hence, we have;

n(A - B) = n(A) - n(A∩B) = 16 - 4 = 12

Similarly, we have;

n(B - A) = n(B) - n(A∩B) = 15 - 4 = 11

The Venn diagrams can be presented as follows;
