If the product of a number and -5 is reduced by 2, the result is 26 less than twice the opposite of the number. What is the
number?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

(-5n)-2=26-2n

Step-by-step explanation:

i think -9 1/3

Answer 2

well, let's say that number is "a", so it's opposite will just be "-a".

what's that number times -5?

-5*a => -5a

let's reduce that by 2

-5a -2

what would it be twice the opposite of it?

2(-a)

what is it 26 less than that?

2(-a) - 26.

[tex]-5a-2=2(-a)-26\implies -5a-2=-2a-26\implies -2=3a-26 \\\\\\ 24=3a\implies \cfrac{24}{3}=a\implies \boxed{8=a}[/tex]

Hello, would be very nice if someone could help me ! :)

A finite geometric series is the sum of a sequence of numbers. Take the sequence
1, 2, 4, 8, ..., for example. Notice that each number is twice the value of the
previous number. So, a number in the sequence can be represented by the
function f(n) = 2^n-1. One way to write the sum of the sequence through the 5th
number in the sequence is ∑^5 n-1 2^n-1.
This equation can also be written as S5 = 2^0+2^1+ 2^2+ 2^3+ 2^4. If we multiply this equation by 2. the equation becomes 2(S5) = 2^1+ 2^2+ 2^3+ 2^4+ 2^5

What happens if you subtract the two equations and solve for S5? Can you use this information to come up with a way to find any geometric series Sn in the
form ∑^a n-1 b^n-1 ?

#3) They say they have 50 total coins together made up of dimes and quarters. They also say that they have $7.25 total. How many quarters do they have?
A. 10
B.15.
C.20.
D.25​

Answers

Answer:

B: 15 quarters

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Setup Coin Value and Coin Total Equation:

Coin Value Equation → 0.1d + 0.25q = $7.25 where d = dimes and q = quarters

Coin Total Equation → d + q = 50

Step 2: Rearrange Coin Total Equation in terms of dimes (d)

d = 50 - q ← Revised Coin Total Equation

Step 3: Plug in our Revised Coin Total Equation for d into our Coin Value Equation:

0.1(50 - q) + 0.25q = $7.25

0.1(50) - 0.1(q) + 0.25q = $7.25

5 - 0.1q + 0.25q = $7.25

5 + (0.25 - 0.1)q = $7.25

5 + 0.15q = $7.25

Step 4: Subtract 5 from each side of the equation to isolate q

5 - 5 + 0.15q = $7.25 - 5

0.15q = 2.25

Step 5: Divide each side of the equation by 0.15 to isolate q

0.15q

0.15

=

2.25

0.15

q = 15

Step 6: Using our value for q, Solve for d using our Coin Total Equation:

d + 15 = 50

Subtracting 15 from both sides, we get d + 15 - 15 = 50 - 15

d = 35

Summarizing our word problem, we see that 15 quarters and 35 dimes adds up to $7.25

Answer:

  g(x) = 4x² -x +64

Step-by-step explanation:

The integral of f(x) will be continuous. This means the value must be the same for x = 4- as for x = 4+.

For some constant c1, the integral in the region x ≤ 4 is ...

  ∫f(x)dx = (4x² -x +c1) +C = g(x) +C

The integral in the region x ≥ 4 is given as ...

  ∫f(x)dx = 31x +C

Evaluated at x=4, we must get the same value from either expression:

  4(4²) -4 +c1 +C = 31(4) +C

  60 +c1 = 124

  c1 = 64

__

In order to make the integral continuous at x=4, we must have ...

  g(x) = 4x² -x +64

how many times bigger is 3,136 than 486 written as a percentage

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solution for 468 is what percent of 486:

468:486*100 =

(468*100):486 =

46800:486 = 96.3

Now we have: 468 is what percent of 486 = 96.3

Question: 468 is what percent of 486?

Percentage solution with steps:

Step 1: We make the assumption that 486 is 100% since it is our output value.

Step 2: We next represent the value we seek with $x$.

Step 3: From step 1, it follows that $100\%=486$.

Step 4: In the same vein, $x\%=468$.

Step 5: This gives us a pair of simple equations:

$100\%=486(1)$.

$x\%=468(2)$.

Step 6: By simply dividing equation 1 by equation 2 and taking note of the fact that both the LHS

(left hand side) of both equations have the same unit (%); we have

$frac{100%}{x%}=frac{486}{468}$

Step 7: Taking the inverse (or reciprocal) of both sides yields

$frac{x%}{100%}=\frac{468}{486}$

$Rightarrow x=96.3%$

Therefore, $468$ is $96.3%$ of $486$.

[tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{X}}[/tex] is ⊥ [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{B}}[/tex]

We can apply the Lines Perpendicular to a Transversal Theorem, which states that if two lines intersect and are perpendicular to that same transversal, then those two lines are parallel.  

In the given conditional statement, [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{X}}[/tex] ⊥ [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{A}}[/tex]  and  [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{X}}[/tex] ⊥ [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{B}}[/tex], line [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{X}}[/tex] is the transversal that cuts through both lines  [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{A}}[/tex] and [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{B}}[/tex].  

Therefore, lines  [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{A}}[/tex] and [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{B}}[/tex] are perpendicular to line [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{X}}[/tex].  Hence, by the Lines Perpendicular to a Transversal Theorem,  [tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{A}}[/tex][tex]\displaystyle\mathsf{\overline{B}}[/tex].

Answer:

C: [tex](2x+5)(4x^2-10x+25)[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, you need to be able to recognize the two terms as cubes, and what they are cubes of. In this case, [tex]8x^3 = (2x)^3[/tex] and [tex]125=5^3[/tex].

Then you have to find a way you like to remember the formula for how to factorize. The way I do it is by saying "the binomial has the same zero as the original, so [tex]x^3+a^3=(x+a)(...)[/tex] and [tex]x^3-a^3 = (x-a)(...)[/tex] and the whole expression has one minus sign attached to the second term of either factor. In the sum of cubes first parenthesis has a plus, so the second term of the other parentesis has to take that minus: [tex]x^3+a^3=(x+a)(x^2-ax+a^2)[/tex] while in the difference of cubes you already used a minus, so everything else goes plus: [tex]x^3-a^3=(x-a)(x^2+ax+a^2)[/tex]

Or you commit the two formulas to memory.

7/8 - 3/8 ?

Answers

Keep the denominators the same and subtract the numerators. So for example in your example:

7/8 - 3/8

Leave the 8 alone. Subtract 3 from 7.

7 - 3 = 4

So answer is:

4/8

Sometimes they may have to simplify the answer, and in this case, 4/8 could be simplified to 1/2

When subtracting fractions with the same denominator (in this case 8) you only have to worry about the numerator (7&3)

ANSWER - 7/8-3/8= 4/8

Now since you can simplify 4/8 you would divide both by 4 and your simplified answer is 1/2.
