If I add 5 times a number to 6, I get 80................................

Answers

Answer 1

x = 14.8 (OR) x = 74/5.

Step-by-step explanation:

If you add 5 times a number to 6 you will get 80.

We don't know what number is multiplied with five and that number should added with 6. So,

Let, the unknown number be named as x.

The eqⁿ will be

[tex]{ \red{ \sf{5}}}{ \green{ \sf{x}}} \: + \: { \red{ \sf{6}}} = { \red{ \sf{80}}} → Eqⁿ(1) [/tex]

Shift 6 to the right side.

[tex]{ \red{ \sf{5}}}{ \green{ \sf{x}}} = { \red{ \sf{80 - 6}}}[/tex]

[tex]{ \red{ \sf{5}}}{ \green{ \sf{x}}} = { \red{ \sf{74}}}[/tex]

Divide both the sides by 5. then,

[tex]{ \red{ \sf { \cancel{\frac{5}{5}}}}} { \green{ \sf{x}}} = {{ \frac{ \cancel{74} {}^{ \green{ \sf{{ 14.8}}}} }{ \cancel5}}} [/tex]

[tex]{ \red{ \boxed{ \purple{ \sf{x = 14.8}}}}} \: { \tt{(or)}} \: { \red{ \boxed{ \purple{ \sf{x = \frac{74}{5}}}}}} [/tex]

___________________________________

[tex]{ \red{ \sf{ \underline{verification}}}} [/tex]

Let us substitute the value of x in Eqⁿ(1) then,

[tex]{ \red{ \sf{5}}}{ \green{ \sf{(14.8)}}} \: + \: { \red{ \sf{6}}} = { \red{ \sf{80}}} [/tex]

[tex]{ \red{ \sf{74}}} \: + \: { \red{ \sf{6}}} = { \red{ \sf{80}}} [/tex]

[tex]{ \red{ \sf{80}}} = { \red{ \sf{80}}} [/tex]

Hence, our answer is correct

4.a bag contains 4 green and 4 red balls. two balls are drawn one by one. what will be the probability that the first drawing gives green ball and second drawing a red ball, in case the first ball drawn was not replaced before drawing the second one.

Answers

The probability that the first drawing gives green ball and second drawing a red ball is 2/7

Number of green balls = 4 green balls

Number of red balls = 4 red balls

Total number of balls in the bag = 4 + 4

= 8 balls

The probability = Number of favorable outcomes / Total number of outcomes

The probability of getting green balls in first draw = 4 / 8

= 1/2

First ball drawn was not replaced before drawing the second one

The probability of getting red ball in second draw = 4 / 7

The probability that the first drawing gives green ball and second drawing a red ball = (4/8) × (4/7)

= 2/7

Hence, the  probability that the first drawing gives green ball and second drawing a red ball is 2/7

Subtraction:

The act of deleting items from a collection is represented by subtraction. Subtraction is denoted by the minus sign. For instance, supposing there are nine oranges stacked together (as indicated in the above image), four oranges are taken out and put in a basket, leaving nine – four oranges, or five oranges, in the stack. Therefore, 9 minus 4 equals 5, or the difference between 9 and 4.

Different kinds of numbers can also use subtraction, which is not just applicable to natural numbers.

The symbol for subtraction is the letter "-". The three numerical elements that make up the subtraction operation are the minuend, the subtrahend, and the difference.

The minuend, from which we subtract another number, is the first number in a subtraction process.

Analyze the steps taken to solve for x. Identify the error and explain why you think the error was made. Then, correctly solve for x. 4x + 9 = 16
divide both sides by 4 to get x + 9 = 4
then subtract both sides by 9 to get: x + -5

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 9 = 16

the error being made is that on dividing both sides by 4 all terms must be divided by 4.

to obtain x + 9 = 4 from 4x + 9 = 16

the term 9 has not been divided by 4

correct solution is

4x + 9 = 16 ( divide through by 4 )

x + [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] = 4 ( each term being divided by 4 )

x + [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] = 4 ( subtract [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] from both sides )

x = 4 - [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{16}{4}[/tex] - [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex] = 1.75

or

4x + 9 = 16 ( subtract 9 from both sides )

4x = 7 ( divide both sides by 4 )

x = [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex] = 1.75

Answers

The height of the tree was 56 inches.

We can calculate the percentage of a certain amount by :

Subtracting  New - Original / New multiplied by 100

this implies it will be

75 - x / 75 × 100 = 25 %

7500 - 100 x = 1875

this implies 7500 - 1875 = 100 x

5625 = 100 x

Thus , On dividing both sides by 100 we get

56.25 = x

Now on rounding off this number we will get

C 9
D 1/9

Answers

Answer:

B 1/4

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = y = x⁴ + 5

the inverse function is

y - 5 = x⁴

x = 4th root(y - 5)

now we rename y and x to make it a regular function definition :

g(x) = y = ±4th root(x - 5) = ±(x - 5)^(1/4)

because g(6) = 1 (positive), we have

g(x) = (x - 5)^(1/4)

and since we are using the positive branch, it means also that all the tangent slopes (= g'(x)) are positive.

g'(x) = 1/4 × (x - 5)^(-3/4) × 1 = 1/4 × (x - 5)^(-3/4)

because (x - 5)' = 1

g'(6) = 1/4 × (6 - 5)^(-3/4) = 1/4 × (1/1³)^(1/4) =

= 1/4 × 1^(1/4) = 1/4 × 1 = 1/4

please note, we are using only the positive root result in this case to get a positive result as tangent slope for g(x) as enforced by g(6) = 1.

Write an equation in slope-intercept form of the line shown. (3,1) (1,-3)​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = 2x - 5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step in finding the equation of a line from a given set of points is to find its slope. The slope of a line is defined by the formula:

[tex]m = \dfrac{\textrm{rise}}{\textrm{run}} = \dfrac{y_2 - y_1}{x_2 - x_1}[/tex]

In this problem, we are given two points in the form [tex](x_1, y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2, y_2)[/tex].

So, we can define the x's and y's as:

[tex]x_1 = 3[/tex], [tex]y_1 = 1[/tex], [tex]x_2 = 1[/tex], [tex]y_2 = -3[/tex].

Hence, the slope of the line can be solved for.

[tex]m = \dfrac{-3 - 1}{1 - 3}[/tex]

[tex]m=\dfrac{-4}{-2}[/tex]

[tex]m = 2[/tex]

So, the slope of the line is 2.

Now, we can plug this into the point-slope equation for a line where (a, b) is a point on the line and m is its slope.

[tex]y - b = m(x - a)[/tex]

I will use the point (3, 1):

[tex]y - 1 = 2(x - 3)[/tex]

and isolate y to put it into slope-intercept form.

[tex]y - 1 = 2x - 6[/tex]

[tex]y = 2x - 6 + 1[/tex]

[tex]y = 2x - 5[/tex]

So, the equation in slope-intercept form for the line that goes through the points (3, 1) and (1, -3) is [tex]y = 2x - 5[/tex].

A Jewelry company makes and sells necklaces. For one type of necklace, the company uses clay beads and glass beads. Each necklace has no more than 10 clay beads and at least 4 glass beads. For every necklace, four times the number of glass beads is less than or equal to 8 more than twice the number of clay beads. Each clay bead costs $0.20 and each glass bead costs $0.40. The company wants to find the minimum cost to make a necklace with clay and glass beads and find the combination of clay and glass beads in a necklace that costs the least to make. a. Define the variables and write a system of inequalities. Then write an equation for the cost C. b. Graph the system of inequalities and find the coordinates of the vertices of the feasible region. c. Find the number of clay beads and glass beads in a necklace that costs the least to make.

Answers

a. The system of inequalities that models the situation is:

0 ≤ x ≤ 10.y ≥ 4.4y ≤ 8 + 2x.

The equation for the cost is: C(x,y) = 0.2x + 0.4y.

b. The graph is given by the image at the end of the answer, and the vertices are (4,4), (10,4) and (10,7).

c. The number of clay beads and glass beads in a necklace that costs the least to make is: 4 clay beads and 4 glass beads.

What is the system of inequalities?

The variables for the system are presented as follows:

Variable x: number of clay beads used.Variable y: number of glass beads used.

Each necklace has no more than 10 clay beads and at least 4 glass beads, hence the constraints are listed as follows:

0 ≤ x ≤ 10.y ≥ 4.

The numbers of each beads are countable amounts, meaning that they cannot assume negative values.

Four times the number of glass beads is less than or equal to 8 more than twice the number of clay beads, hence the final constraint is of:

4y ≤ 8 + 2x.

Each clay bead costs $0.20 and each glass bead costs $0.40, hence the cost function is given as follows:

C(x,y) = 0.2x + 0.4y.

Using the three constraints, the graph is given by the image at the end of the answer, and the vertices are as follows:

(4,4).(10,4).(10,7).

The minimum cost is at the vertex with the smallest numeric value of the cost function, hence the numeric values are listed as follows:

C(4,4) = 0.2(4) + 0.4(4) = 2.4. -> minimum cost.C(10,4) = 0.2(10) + 0.4(4) = 3.6.C(10,7) = 0.2(10) + 0.4(7) = 4.8.

So now, (-1,3) = (-6+5,-6+9) = (x+5,y+9)

Hence the first and second box are 5 and 9 respectively.

A farmer has 180 bushels of wheat to sell at her roadside stand. She sells an average of 14 5/8 bushels each day.

The total change in the number of bushels she has for sale after 5 days can be represented as [tex]\frac{117}{8} X 5[/tex].

Define average.

The average is defined as the mean value, which is equal to the ratio of the sum of the number of values in a given set to the total number of values present in the set.

In plain English, an average is a single number taken as representative of a list of numbers, typically the sum of the numbers divided by how many numbers are in the list. For instance, the average of the digits 2, 3, 4, 7, and 9 is 5.

Pre-calc word problem
You receive two sales job offers. One company offers a straight commission of 5% of sales. The other company offers a salary of $500 per week plus 2% of sales. How much would you have to sell in a week in order to make the straight commission job offer better? (Round your answer to the nearest cent.)
To make straight commission the better offer, you would have to sell (more than, less than, equal to) $____ per week.

Answers

Answer:

To make straight commission the better offer, you would have to sell more than $16666.67  per week.

Step-by-step explanation:

Set inequality, assuming the sales amount is x:

5% of x > 500 + 2% of x0.05x > 500 + 0.02x0.05x - 0.02x > 5000.03x > 500x > 500/0.03x > 16666.67 (rounded to the nearest cent)

Answer:

More than $16,666.67.

Step-by-step explanation:

Define the variables:

Let x = Weekly sales (in dollars).Let y = Total salary (in dollars).

Create an equation for each job offer using the defined variables and given information.

Job Offer 1

Straight commission of 5% of sales:

[tex]\implies y=0.05x[/tex]

Job Offer 2

A salary of $500 per week plus 2% of sales:

[tex]\implies y=500+0.02x[/tex]

For Job Offer 1 to be better, set the expression for this offer to be greater than the expression for Job Offer 2 and solve the inequality:

[tex]\implies 0.05x > 500+0.02x[/tex]

[tex]\implies 0.05x-0.02x > 500+0.02x-0.02x[/tex]

[tex]\implies 0.03x > 500[/tex]

[tex]\implies \dfrac{0.03x}{0.03} > \dfrac{500}{0.03}[/tex]

[tex]\implies x > 16666.66666...[/tex]

Therefore, to make straight commission (Job Offer 1) the better offer, you would have to sell more than $16,666.67 (nearest cent) per week.
