Fifteen less than twice a number is 21.
What is the missing number? |

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2y - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

well 15 LESS than TWICE a number. okay so let’s start off by making a variable for the unknown number.... y. the variable is y. so now we have to think, TWICE that number, but we don’t know the number.

Now that we have the variable and we know it has to be doubled, let’s start off making the first half... we can out that into 2y. which is 2 multiplied by the unknown number.

now that we have the first half done, we have to take the 15 less. Less can mean  or subtract in this kind of situation. but for this certain scenario, it will be subtraction. so the equation would be 2y - 15.

Answer 2

Hello!

First of all, let the number be r.

"twice a number" means we multiply that number by 2:

2r

Subtract 15 (fifteen less)

2r-15

This is equal to 21:

2r-15=21

[tex]\rule{160}{2}[/tex]

Solve the equation:

2r=21+15

2r=36

Divide both sides by 2:

r=18

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!

What is the area of the trapezoid?

Answers

78. you can find the area of the two ends which are triangles by subtracting 11 from 15. Then divide that four by two since both ends are included. Multiply 2 by 6 to get half the area of one triangle. But since there are two just leave that number as is. Finally multiply 11 by 6 to get the rest of the area.

Answer:

A=78ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a trapezoid is A=(a+b)/2 *h

a=long base

b=short base

h=height

For your trapezoid, it will look like this:

a=15ft

b=11ft

h=6ft

Let's add those into the equation:

A=(15+11)/2 *6

Okay, let's solve it! Using PEMDAS, we know parenthesis are first.

A=26/2 *6

Now we divide!

A=13*6

Multiply! And don't forget to add your unit.

A=78ft

Defective Merchandise Suppose that 8% of a certain batch of calculators have a defective case, and that 11 % have defective batteries. Also, 3% have both a defective case and defective batteries. A calculator is selected from the batch at random. Find the probability that the calculator has a good case and good batteries.

Answers

Answer:

0.84 = 84% probability that the calculator has a good case and good batteries.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have these following percentages:

8% of a certain batch of calculators have a defective case.

11 % have defective batteries.

3% have both a defective case and defective batteries.

Using Venn Diagrams:

Event A: Defective Case

Event B: Defecitve Battery

So the probabilities are: [tex]P(A) = 0.08, P(B) = 0.11, P(A \cap B) = 0.03[/tex]

Probability of at least one problem:

[tex]P(A \cup B) = P(A) + P(B) - P(A \cap B) = 0.08 + 0.11 - 0.03 = 0.16[/tex]

Find the probability that the calculator has a good case and good batteries.

No problems, so

[tex]p = 1 - P(A \cup B) = 1 - 0.16 = 0.84[/tex]

0.84 = 84% probability that the calculator has a good case and good batteries.

The probability that the calculator has a good case and good batteries is 0.84 or 84%

Calculation of the probability:

Since

8% of a certain batch of calculators have a defective case.

11 % have defective batteries.

3% have both a defective case and defective batteries.

So, the probability is

=  1- (0.08 + 0.11 - 0.03)

= 1 - 0.16

= 0.84

Therefore, The probability that the calculator has a good case and good batteries is 0.84 or 84%

A dance team decided to sell fruit snacks to raise money for an upcoming competition. The dancers charged $3.00 for each fruit snack they sold. In 4 days, they sold 24 packs of fruit snacks. How much money could the team earn for seven days at that same rate?

Answers

Answer:

126 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

(i'm gonna be doing my work here, dont mind me LOL)

okay, so they sold 24 packs in 4 days. divide 24 by 4 and you get 6. multiply 6 by 3 and you get 18.

now, multiply 18 by seven and you get 126.

bam!! the dance team could earn 126$ in 7 days ^__^ hope you get an A!

Answer:

$126

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = packs sold in 7 days

Set up a proportion.   days/days = packs/packs

4/7 = 24/x

4x = 24(7)  = 42 packs sold in 7 days

At $3/pack, the amount earned in 7 days =  3(42) = $126

F(x)=8x+10 g(x)=6x-4 what is f(4)-g(3)

Answers

Answer:

f(4) - g(3) = 28

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = 8x + 10

f(4) = 8(4) + 10

f(4) = 32 + 10

f(4) = 42

g(x) = 6x - 4

g(3) = 6(3) - 4

g(3) = 18 - 4

g(3) = 14

f(4) - g(3)

= 42 - 14

= 28

x = -10 and y = -43 so the correct answer would be (-10,-43)

Answer:

x= -10

y= -43

Step-by-step explanation:

since both of your equations equals y just plug it into each other and than make the equation: 5x+7=4x-3

and than you can just start with the variables OR numbers and then simplify

5x+7=4x-3

5x+10=4x

10= -x

x= -10

so -10 for x

plug it in to one of your 2 equations to get y

5(-10)+7= y

-50+7=y

y= -43

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Triangle A, B, C and D

Required

Pick the odd triangle

From the attachment, we can see that:

A = Right angled triangle

B = Right angled triangle

C = Obtuse triangle

D = Right angled triangle

This is so because triangle C has one of its angles to be greater than 90 (i.e. 115) and other triangles (A, B and D) have an angle equal to 90, each.

Because C is obtuse and others are right-angled, then C is the odd triangle.
