Please Help! Three times the quantity of a number increased by 7 is equal to the same number decreased by 15

Answers

Answer 1
I guess it's x=-11
3x+7=x-15
3x-x=-15-7
2x=-22
X=-11
Answer 2

The equation is written as 3x + 7 = x - 15. And the solution of the equation will be negative 11.

What is the solution to the equation?

The allocation of weights to the important variables that produce the calculation's optimum is referred to as a direct consequence.

Multiple times the amount of a number expanded by 7 is equivalent to a similar number diminished by 15.

Let the number be 'x'.

The three times the number plus 7. Then the expression is given as,

⇒ 3x + 7

The number 'x' is decreased by 15. Then the expression is given as,

⇒ x - 15

Both expressions are equal to each other. Then we have

3x + 7 = x - 15

3x - x = - 15 - 7

2x = - 22

x = - 11

The equation is written as 3x + 7 = x - 15. And the solution of the equation will be negative 11.

A man has two sons, one twice as old as the other. The man is four times as old as the older boy. In three years he will be five times as old as the younger boy. Find their present ages.

Answers

Answer:

Man's present age: 32 years

Older son's present age: 8 years

Younger sons present age: 4 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let their present ages be represented by:

Man = a

Older boy = b

Younger boy = c

A man has two sons, one twice as old as the other:

b = 2 × c

b = 2c......... Equation 1

The man is four times as old as the older boy:

a = 4 × b

a = 4b.......Equation 2

In three years he will be five times as old as the younger boy:

a + 3 = 5 (c + 3)

a + 3 = 5c + 15........Equation 3

Since b = 2c and a = 4b

Subtitute 2c for b in Equation 2

a = 4b

a = 4 × 2c

a = 8c

Subtitute 8c for a in Equation 3

a + 3 = 5c........Equation 3

8c + 3 = 5c + 15

Collect like terms

8c - 5c = 15 - 3

3c = 12

c = 4

Therefore since c, represents the present age of the younger son, the younger son is 4 years old

b = 2c

b = 2 × 4

b = 8

Since b is the present age of the older son, the older son is 8 years old

a = 4b

b = 8

a = 4 × 8

a = 32

Since a is the present age of the man, the man is 32 years old

Therefore,

Man's present age: 32 years

Older son's present age: 8 years

Younger sons present age: 4 years

On a plane trip, baggage over 40 pounds is charged at the rate per pound of 1% of the one-way fare. The charge for a bag weighing 52 pounds on a trip where the one-way fare is $98 is:

Answers

Answer:

$11.76 is the charge for bag.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

One way fare = $98

Weight of bag = 52 pounds

Rate per pound Charges on baggage over 40 pounds = 1% of the one-way fare

To find:

Charge for bag = ?

Solution:

Pounds more than 40 pounds = Weight of baggage - 40 pounds

[tex]\Rightarrow 52-40 = 12\ pounds[/tex]

Charges on extra baggage = 1% of one-way fare multiplied by pounds more than 40.

Here one way fare is $98.

So, charges on extra baggage will be:

[tex]1\%\ of\ 98 \times (52-40) \\\Rightarrow 1\%\ of\ 98\times (12)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{100}\ of\ (98 \times 12)\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{1}{100}\times (98 \times 12)\\\Rightarrow \bold{\$11.76}[/tex]

So, the charge for the baggage is $11.76.

Answer:

[tex]\frac{4}{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Number sentence: [tex]30x^{2}[/tex] = [tex]8x[/tex]

You can start by applying algebra to the left side of the equation by dividing each side by x. This should be how it looks now: 30x = 8

Now divide each side by 30 to keep reducing it: [tex]x = \frac{8}{30}[/tex]

Now that we have [tex]\frac{8}{30}[/tex], we can reduce that by dividing the top and bottom by 2:

[tex]\frac{8}{30} = \frac{4}{15}[/tex].

Therefore, the number is [tex]\frac{4}{15}[/tex].

b. If two sides and one included angle are equal in triangles PQS and PRS, then their corresponding sides are also equal.

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we are given the line RQ, which is divided in two equal parts by a line PS which is perpendicular to RQ.

The foot S of PS is on the line RQ.

First of all, let us do a construction here.

Join the point R with P and P with Q.

Please refer to the attached image.

Now, let us consider the triangles  PQS and PRS:

Side QS = RS (as given)[tex]\angle PSR = \angle PSQ = 90^\circ[/tex]Side PS = PS (Common side in both the triangles)

Now, Two sides and the angle included between the two triangles are equal.

So by SAS congruence we can say that [tex]\triangle PRS \cong \triangle PQS[/tex]

Therefore, the corresponding sides will also be equal.

RP = QP

RP is the distance between R and P.

QP is the distance between Q and P.

Hence, to prove that P is equidistant from R and Q, we have proved that:

b. If two sides and one included angle are equal in triangles PQS and PRS, then their corresponding sides are also equal.

Sunita bought a 10 kg box of grapes from the market. She gave 3 1/2 kg of her grapes to her friend Reena and 2 1/4 kg to Anita. How many kilograms of grapes were left with her?

Answers

Answer:

17/4 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

Sunita has = 10kg of grapes

Quantity given out :

To Reena =3 1/2

7/2 kg

To Anita =2 1/4

9/4 kg

Total quantity of grape given out

7/2+9/4

[tex]x=2.\overline{67}[/tex]

Multiply both sides by 100:

Isabelle bought some stationery. 1/3 of them were pencils. 5/8 of the remainder were erasers and the rest were rulers. The cost of the stationery is - a Pencil: $1.20, an eraser: $1 and a ruler: $0.50. She spent a total of 169.50 on all stationery. How much more did she spend on erasers than rulers.

Answers

Answer:

Isabelle spent $52.50 more on Erasers than rulers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the quantity of each stationery bought in fraction

Let us represent the total fraction of what Isabelle bought as: x

1/3x = quantity of pencils bought

5/8 of the remainder = quantity of erasers bought

The remainder = x - 1/3x = 2/3x

5/8 of 2/3x = 5/8 × 2/3x = 5/12x

Hence, 5/12x = quantity of erasers bought

The rest is rulers

1 - (1/3 + 5/12)

1 - (4 + 5/12)

1 - 9/12

1 - 3/4

= 1/4x

Hence, 1/4 = quantity of rulers bought.

Step 2

We find the number of stationeries that Isabelle bought.

The cost of the stationery is

a Pencil: $1.20

an eraser: $1

a ruler: $0.50.

Total amount spent on stationery = 169.50

We have this equation

1.20 × 1/3x + 1 × 5/12x + 0.50 × 1/4x = 169.50

0.4x + 0.4166666667x + 0.125x =

169.50

0.9416666667x = 169.50

x = 169.50 /0.9416666667

x = 179.99999999

Approximately , the number of stationeries that Isabelle bought = x = 180

Step 3

Find the number and the amount spent on each stationery that Isabelle bought

a) i) Quantity of pencils bought = 1/3 x

x = 180

= 1/3 × 180

= 60 pencils

ii) Amount spent on pencils

If 1 pencil = $1.20

60 pencils =

60 × 1.20 = $72

b) i) Quantity of Erasers bought = 5/12x

x = 180

= 5/12 × 180

= 75 pencils

ii) Amount spent on Eraser

If 1 pencil = $1

75 pencils =

75 × 1 = $75

c) i) Quantity of rulers bought = 1/4 x

x = 180

= 1/4 × 180

= 45 pencils

ii) Amount spent on pencils

If 1 pencil = $0.50

45 pencils =

45 × 0.50 = $22.50

Step 4

We were asked to calculate how much more did she spend on erasers than rulers.

In step 3, the amount spent on Erasers = $75

the amount spent on ruler = $22.5

The difference in the amount spent = $75 - $22.5

= $52.5

Therefore, Isabelle spent $52.50 more on Erasers than rulers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Which of the following functions has a vertical asymptote at x = 2, a horizontal
asymptote at f(x) = 1, and a root at x = -1?
A.f(x) = 2 + 1
B.f(x) = x 2 + 1
c.f(x) = x 2 - 1
D.f(x) == +1

Answers

Answer:

First, an asymptote means that the function "tends to go" to a value, bt actually never reaches it.

The functions here are:

A.f(x) = 2 + 1

B.f(x) = x^2 + 1

c.f(x) = x^2 - 1

D.f(x) == +1

The functions are really poorly written, but i will try to answer this.

first:

"a root at x = -1"

Means that f(-1) = 0,

The only function that is zero when x = -1, is the option c.

f(-1) = (-1)^2 - 1 = 1 - 1 = 0.

Now, if we want to have a vertical asymptote at x = 2, then we should have a function like:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{something}{x - 2}[/tex]

So we want to have a quotient, where the denominator is equal to zero when x = 2, this will lead to a vertical asymptote.

I can not see this in the options provided, so i guess that the functions are just not well written.

For a horizontal asymptote, we have something like:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{something}{x} + 1[/tex]

So as x starts to grow, the first term in the function will start to decrease, until it becomes really close to zero (but is never equal to zero) so in that case we have an horizontal asymptote to f(x) = 1.
