2/3 of the sum of three times a number and six is 10. what is the number?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  3

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number. The problem statement tells you ...

2/3(3x +6) = 10

  2x +4 = 10 . . . . . . use the distributive property

  x +2 = 5 . . . . . . . . divide by 2

  x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . .subtract 3

The number is 3.

__

Comment on the solution

The above shows an "alternative" solution method. The more usual way this might be done is ...

  2(3x +6) = 30 . . . . . multiply by 3 to clear fractions

  6x +12 = 30 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  6x = 18 . . . . . . . . . . . subtract 12

  x = 3 . . . . . . . . . . . . divide by 6

Answer 2

Answer:

x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation first, 2/3(3x+6)=10

Distribute 2,  2(3x+6)/2

Which equals 6x+12/3=10

Then multiply 3 from both sides 6x+12=30

Subtract 12

6x=18

Divide 6 from both sides

x=3

Antoine is cutting a 5/16 inch board for a project what is 5 5/16 as a decimal

Answers

Answer: 5.3125

Step-by-step explanation: To convert a mixed number to a decimal, first you’ll have to drop the 5. Next, convert 5/16 to a decimal by dividing 5.000 by 16, which is 0.3125. Lastly, add 5 and 0.3125 to get a final answer of 5.3125.

Joe's grandma lives 36 blocks up the street from Joe. On Saturday, Joe
rode his bike two-thirds of the way to his grandma's house and then realized he
forgot the present he was going to give her. Joe rode back to his house, got the
present, and rode all the way to his grandma's house. Then he rode straight home.
How many blocks did Joe ride in all? Use labeled sketches, numbers, or words to
solve this problem. Show all your work.

Answers

Answer:

108 blocks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Joe's grandmother lives 36 blocks away from Joe.

Joe rode two thirds of the way to the house is 2/3 * 36= 24 blocks.

Then he rode back to his house (1 - 2/3) * 36= 12 blocks.

Then Joe rode back to grandma's house= 36 blocks.

Then he rode straight home= 36 blocks.

Total number of blocks he rode is 24+12+36+36= 108 blocks.

Answer:

The rate of change in the submarine's elevation is 26.0 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

She begins 151 feet below sea level

Thus, her initial point is y₁ = 151 feet below sea level

i.e. at t₁=0 seconds, y₁ = 151 feet below sea level

After descending for the 3 seconds, she is 229 feet below sea level.

Thus, her second point is y₂ = 229 feet below sea level after 3 seconds

i.e. at t₂=3 seconds, y₂ = 229 feet below sea level

The rate of change is basically the slope. Thus, the rate of change can be obtained by taking the slope.

slope = rate of change = (y₂ - y₁)/(t₂ - t₁)

                                      = (229 - 151) / (3 - 0)

                                       = 78/3

                                       = 26.0

Therefore, the rate of change in the submarine's elevation is 26.0 feet per second.

Trevor went to the pet store to get a new pet fish. Unfortunately, the selection at the store wasn't very good. Exactly 90% of the fish at the store were goldfish. Trevor wanted any fish, but a goldfish. If there are 140 fish at the store, then how many fish could Trevor choose from?​

Answers

Answer: 14 fish

explanation: 90% of 140= 126 (if u use a proportion or multiply 0.9x140).

140-126=14

Answer: He has 14 other fish to choose from in the store

Step-by-step explanation:

90% ÷ 100 = .9

.9 × 140 = 126

Q: How much money would you save on 10 pounds of blueberries at the less expensive fruit stand? (Hint: Find the cost of 10 pounds of blueberries for each, A and B, then subtract the values.) Remember to explain your reasoning!

Answers

Answer:

According to my...calculations, you would save $20.

Step-by-step explanation:

You have to find the ratio/the rate of change, then you multiply it to get to ten pounds. You do the same for the other line. Then you just subtract it.

A= 2 pounds for $12

B= 1 pound for $4

Multiply the two to get to 10, and whatever the number is (5) you multiply 12 by it as well. For B, you multiply by 10. You get $60, for A. $40 for B.

The amount saved would be $20.

Makayla borrows $15200. Some is from her friend at 5% annual interest, 2 times as much as that from her bank at 8% , and the remainder from her insurance company at 4%. She pays a total of $968 in interest for the first year. How much did she borrow from each source?

Answers

Answer:

Amount borrowed from friend = 4000

From Bank = 8000

From insurance = 3200

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount borrowed = $15200

Let amount borrowed from friend = x

x at 5% = 0.05x

From Bank = 2x at 8% = 0.08*2x = 0.16x

From insurance = 15200 - (x + 2x) at 4%

From insurance = 15200 - 3x at 4% ; (15200 - 3x)* 0.04 = 608 - 0.12x

Interest paid in first year = $968

Simple interest = principal * rate * time

968 =

968 = (0.05x + 0.16x + 608 - 0.12x)

968 - 608 = 0.05x + 0.16x - 0.12x

360 = 0.09x

x = 360 / 0.09

x = 4000

Hence,

Amount borrowed from friend = 4000

From Bank = 2x = 4000 * 2 = 8000

From insurance = 15200 - (4000 + 8000) = 3200

can we still reduce 4/5 to the lowest term?​

Answers

no as both terms cannot be futher divided.

nope. 4/5 doesn’t have any thing in common so 4/5 is already lowest. for example, if it was 4/8 they can be cut down to 1/2. both numbers have a 4 in common so divide both top and bottom by 4 to get 1/2.

2. BT = TD Based on the properties of a parallelogram, the parallelogram diagonals bisect each other

3. ∠1 = ∠2  Vertically opposite angles formed by two intersecting lines are equal

4. BC ║ AD By definition, the opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel

5. ∠3 = ∠4  Based on the property of equality of the alternate interior angles of two parallel lines

6. Triangle BET congruent to Triangle DFT by Angle-Side-Angle rule of congruency

7. ET = T_F by Congruent Parts of Congruent Triangles are Equal, CPCTE, postulate.

The reasons that matches the statements in the two-column proof is shown in the table attached in the image below.

Recall:

Based on the, CPCTE Theorem, if two triangles are congruent, all its corresponding sides and angles of both triangles are therefore congruent together.The ASA Congruent Theorem justifies that two triangles are congruent if they have two pairs of congruent angles and a pair of included sides that are also congruent.

Given parallelogram ABCD, and also, we know that EF contains T, to prove that ET = FT, establish that:

ΔBET ≅ ΔDFT by the ASA Congruence Theorem, then demonstrate that ET = FT by the CPCTE Theorem.

What is a mathematical function, equation and expression?function : In mathematics, a function from a set X to a set Y assigns to each element of X exactly one element of Y. The set X is called the domain of the function and the set Y is called the codomain of the function.expression : A mathematical expression is made up of terms (constants and variables) separated by mathematical operators.equation : A mathematical equation is used to equate two expressions.

Given is that Marissa's dance studio charges a monthly fee, plus a fixed amount per class.

Assume that the equation of the line in the slope - intercept form as -

y = mx + c

At [x] = 0, [y] = 20.

So, the [y] intercept will be -

[c] = 20.

and slope of the line will be -

m = (40 - 30)/(2 - 1)

m = 10/1

m = 10

So the equation will be -

y = 10x + 20

Therefore, the equation for the line in slope-intercept form will be y = 10x + 20.
