Five times the sum of a number and 7 equals 3

7 0

Hi there! :)
Let the number be x. Thus, the sum of a number and 7 would be x + 7. We can now set up the equation as follows:
5(x + 7) = 3;
5x + 35 = 3;
x = -32/5

The answer or number that you are looking for is -6.4. You can get this by dividing 3 by 5 which is equal to 0.6. Next you would subtract 7 to reverse the act of having added it. This will give you -6.4 which is what you are looking for.

Allisa [31]

To find the answer divide each money amount by the cost:
3.45/14=0.246428571429
4.35/16=0.271875
3.29/12=0.274166666667
4.25/15=0.283333333333
The pickle jar that has the best deal is 14 oz for $3.45

What is the equation of a line that passes through (4, 3) and has a slope of 2? y=2x−11 y=2x−7 y=2x−1 y=2x−5

LenaWriter [7]

Step-by-step explanation:

The coefficient of the x term repesents the slope of the graph.

So we have y = 2x +- ( ).

We have to find our number term, so let's substitute x = 4 and y = 3.

(3) = 2(4) +- ( )

3 = 8 +- ( )

To make this right, the number term must be -5.

3 = 8 - 5

So the equation is y = 2x - 5.

Dinosaur fossils are often dated by using an element other than carbon, like potassium-40, that has a longer half life (in this

Firlakuza [10]

The amount of substance left of a radioactive element of half life, $t_{\frac{1}{2}}$ after a time, t, is given by:

$N(t)=N_0\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{t_{ \frac{1}{2} }}$

Given that potassium-40 has a half life of approximately 1.25 billion years.

The number of years it will take for 0.1% of potassium-40 to remain is obtained as follows:

$0.1=100\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{1.25}} \\ \\ \Rightarrow\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)^ \frac{t}{1.25}}=0.001 \\ \\ \Rightarrow\frac{t}{1.25}\ln\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)=\ln(0.001) \\ \\ \Rightarrow \frac{t}{1.25}= \frac{\ln(0.001)}{\ln\left( \frac{1}{2} \right)} =9.966 \\ \\ t=9.966(1.25)=12.5$

Therefore, the maximum age of a fossil that we could date using 40k is 12.5 billion years.
