If 2/3 of a certain number is subtracted from twice the number, the result is 20. Find the number.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{x = 15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x

Condition:

[tex]2x - \frac{2}{3} x = 20[/tex]

Multiplying 3 to both sides

=> 3(2x) - 2x = 3(20)

=> 6x - 2x = 60

=> 4x = 60

Dividing both sides by 4

=> x = 15

Answer 2

Answer:

15

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be that number.

2/3 of x subtracted from twice of x is 20.

2x - 2/3x = 20

Solve for x.

Combine like terms.

4/3x = 20

Multiply both sides by 3/4

x = 60/4

x = 15

The number is 15.

The equation that represents the canned goods order is 24x + 64y = 384, where x = number of minutes for producing fruit cans and y = number of minutes for producing vegetable cans.

What is the meaning of the y-intercept?

Answers

Answer:

  The y-intercept is the number of minutes for producing vegetable cans when no minutes are used for fruit cans

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells you y is the number of minutes for producing vegetable cans. The y-intercept is the y-value when x = 0.

The y-intercept is the number of minutes for producing vegetable cans when no minutes are used for fruit cans.

Answer:

The y-intercept, at the point (0, 6), designates the choice to compose vegetables for 6 minutes. In 6 minutes, making 64 cans of vegetables per minute, 384 cans for the order decree performed. The 0 for the x-value designs that no time spent producing cans of fruit.

Rationalize the denominator of $\frac{5}{2+\sqrt{6}}$. The answer can be written as $\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$, where $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$ are integers, $D$ is positive, and $B$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. If the greatest common divisor of $A$, $C$, and $D$ is 1, find $A+B+C+D$.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]A +B+C+D = 3[/tex] is the correct answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

[tex]$\frac{5}{2+\sqrt{6}}$[/tex]

To find:

[tex]A+B+C+D = ?[/tex] if given term is written as following:

[tex]$\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$[/tex]

Solution:

We can see that the resulting expression does not contain anything under [tex]\sqrt[/tex] (square root) so we need to rationalize the denominator to remove the square root from denominator.

The rule to rationalize is:

Any term having square root term in the denominator, multiply and divide with the expression by changing the sign of square root term of the denominator.

Applying this rule to rationalize the given expression:

[tex]\dfrac{5}{2+\sqrt{6}} \times \dfrac{2-\sqrt6}{2-\sqrt6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5 \times (2-\sqrt6)}{(2+\sqrt{6}) \times (2-\sqrt6)} \\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-5\sqrt6}{2^2-(\sqrt6)^2}\ \ \ \ \ (\because \bold{(a+b)(a-b)=a^2-b^2})\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-5\sqrt6}{4-6}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{10-5\sqrt6}{-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{-5\sqrt6+10}{-2}\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{5\sqrt6-10}{2}[/tex]

Comparing the above expression with:

[tex]$\frac{A\sqrt{B}+C}{D}$[/tex]

A = 5, B = 6 (Not divisible by square of any prime)

C = -10

D = 2 (positive)

GCD of A, C and D is 1.

So, [tex]A +B+C+D = 5+6-10+2 = \bold3[/tex]

you can imagine this as a venn diagram. the "or" event would consist of everything in both sides and the middle of the venn diagram because you can choose form either event x or event y.

the "and" event would consist of everything in the middle of the venn diagram because you choice must be a part of both event x and event y.

the complement of an event is just everything that is not included in the event. for example, in a coin flip, the complement of heads is tails. in a dice roll, the complement of {1,2} is {3,4,5,6}

so if you come across these just think "either or" or "both and." and remember that the complement is everything excluding what is listed.

Colossus Added to six flags st. Louis in 1986, the Colossus is a giant Ferris wheel. Its diameter is 165 feet, it rotates at a rate of about 1.6 revolutions per minute, and the bottom of the wheel is 15 feet above the ground. Determine an equation that relates a rider's height the ride at the bottom of the wheel.

Answers

Given:

D=165 feet and the frequency of the motion is 1.6 revolutions per minute.

Solution:

The radius is half of the diameter.

The radius of the wheel is 82.5 feet.

[tex]T=\frac{1}{1.6} \text{ minutes}[/tex]

As we know: [tex]\omega=\frac{2\pi}{T}[/tex]

Substitute the value of T in the above formula.

[tex]\omega=\frac{2\pi}{\frac{1}{1.6}}\\\omega=3.2\pi[/tex]

If the center of the wheel is at the origin then for [tex]t=0[/tex] the rest position is [tex]-a[/tex].

This can be written as:

[tex]h(t)=-a\cos(\omega t)\\h(t)=-82.5cos(32.\pi t)[/tex]

The actual height of the rider from the ground is:

[tex]h(t)=\text{ Initial height from bottom}+\text{ radius}-82.5\cos(3.2\pi t)\\h(t)=15+82.5-82.5\cos(3.2\pi t)\\h(t)=97.5-82.5\cos(3.2\pi t)[/tex]

The required equation is [tex]h(t)=97.5-82.5\cos(3.2\pi t)[/tex].

Which statement best describes the end behavior of the following function?
F(x) = -x3 - 2x2 +7x-10

Answers

A.  The graph of the function is high on the extreme left side, and low on the extreme right side.

The graph has no "start" or "end".  It's defined for all 'x' between negative and positive infinity.  So no matter how far left or right you go, there's always a 'y' for whatever 'x' you're at.

But it's guaranteed that once you get far enough left (negative x), the first term -x³ will definitely be positive, and will become more and more positive as you go farther left.

And similarly, once you get far enough right (positive x), the first term,   -x³ will definitely be negative, and it'll become more and more negative as you go farther right.

So, except for some wiggling within a short distance either side of the origin, if you look at this graph from 10 miles away, f(x) comes out of the sky  on the left side, and it heads down into the salt mine on the right side.

Answer:

x=-7, y= -20

Step-by-step explanation:

2x - y =6

x - y = 13

when I subract (x-y =13 ) from (2x-y =6)

2x -y =6

-x +y=-13

______________

x = -7

substitute x=-7 in the second equation

-7 - y =13

-y = 13 +7

-Y = 20

Y=-20

x=-7, y= -20

Answer:

x= -7/6

y= -25/3

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-y =6

4 x-y =13

Firstly, 4x-y=13(-)  =>> - 4x+y=-13

Then we make the sum and result 6x= -7. Result x= -7/6.

We need to find y. So:  

-y= 6-2x =>>  y= -6 +2x =>> y= -6 +2*(-7/6) =>> y= -6-7/3 =>> y=(-18-7)/3 =>>y= -25/3

Find the volume V of the solid obtained by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the specified line.? y = 2 + sec(x), −π/3 ≤ x ≤ π/3, y = 4; about y = 2

Answers

Answer:

The volume of the solid is: [tex]\mathbf{V = \pi [ \dfrac{8 \pi}{3} - 2\sqrt{3}]}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven that :

[tex]y = 2 + sec \ x , -\dfrac{\pi}{3} \leq x \leq \dfrac{\pi}{3} \\ \\ y = 4\\ \\ about \ y \ = 2[/tex]

This implies that the distance between the x-axis and the axis of the rotation = 2 units

The distance between the x-axis and the inner ring is r = (2+sec x) -2

Let R be the outer radius and r be the inner radius

By integration; the volume of the of the solid  can be calculated as follows:

[tex]V = \pi \int\limits^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{\dfrac{-\pi}{3}} [(4-2)^2 - (2+ sec \ x -2)^2]dx \\ \\ \\ V = \pi \int\limits^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{\dfrac{-\pi}{3}} [(2)^2 - (sec \ x )^2]dx \\ \\ \\ V = \pi \int\limits^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{\dfrac{-\pi}{3}} [4 - sec^2 \ x ]dx[/tex]

[tex]V = \pi [4x - tan \ x]^{\dfrac{\pi}{3}}_{\dfrac{-\pi}{3}} \\ \\ \\ V = \pi [4(\dfrac{\pi}{3}) - tan (\dfrac{\pi}{3}) - 4(-\dfrac{\pi}{3})+ tan (-\dfrac{\pi}{3})] \\ \\ \\ V = \pi [4(\dfrac{\pi}{3}) - tan (\dfrac{\pi}{3}) + 4(\dfrac{\pi}{3})- tan (\dfrac{\pi}{3})] \\ \\ \\ V = \pi [8(\dfrac{\pi}{3}) - 2 \ tan (\dfrac{\pi}{3}) ][/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

From Washington, as the question asks, will now be considered 0 aka the starting point.

So as of now, we know Washington from Oakdale is 6.2 km.

And from Stanford to Salem is 11.9 km, also Salem to Washington is 10.3 km. Hence the addition of 11.9 km and 10.3 km to figure out the whole distance between Stanford and Washington.

11.9 km + 10.3 km = 22.2 km

Now we subtract 22.2 km to 6.2 km for the product of 16 km.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equations:

y = -1/6x - 8

y = 2x + 5

When graphed, we get a solution, or point of intersection, at (-6, -7). This is the point at which the two equations are equal to each other. This can even be proven:

-7 = -1/6(-6) - 8

-7 = 1 - 8

-7 = -7

-7 = 2(-6) + 5

-7 = -12 + 5

-7 = -7

Thus, proving graphically and algebraically, the solution is at (-6, -7).

Answer:

C : A salesperson earns $50 plus $10 for every $100 of merchandise he sells.

Step-by-step explanation:

If a salesperson earns $50 plus $10 for every $100 of merchandise he sells, the rate of change is 100. The linear equation is T = 50 + 100h, where T is the total amount he earns and h is the number of $100 in merchandise he sells.
