Peter says, "If you subtract 16 from my number and multiply the difference by - 2, the result is
- 34." What is Peter's number?

Answers

Answer 1
Let’s say Peter’s number is P.

P minus 16 and the answer times -2 is -34

-2(P-16) = -34

-2P+32 = -34

-2P = -66

Divide by -2

P is 33.

Check: 33-16 is 17 and 17*-2 is -34. So

P is 33.
Answer 2

Answer:

33

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number be x,

=> (x - 16) -2 = - 34

=> -2x + 32 = -34

=> -2x = - 34 - 32 (by transposing)

=> -2x = -66

=> x = -66/-2 = 33

Peter's number is 33.

Hope you understood.

a perfect score in bowling is 300 points. you get a perfect score if you knock down 120 pins in 10 frames. what are the decimal value and percent of the number of pins knocked down in a relation to a perfect score?

Answers

Answer:

number of pins to perfect score

120/300=40/100

percent means parts out of 100

40/100=40%

answer is 40% or 0.40

NOTE: To find the percentage we will multiply decimal value of  number of know down pins to a perfect score by 100

Number of know down pins to a perfect score= 0.4 x 100

Number of know down pins to a perfect score=40%

Minh and Mikayla are selling wrapping paper for a school fund-raiser. Customers can
buy either packages of folded paper or rolls of paper. Minh sold 6 rolls of paper and 2
packages of folded paper for a total of $44. Mikayla sold 3 rolls of paper and 9 packages
of folded paper for a total of $54. How much does each roll cost? How much does each
package of folded paper cost?

Answers

Answer:

Rolls $6, Folded $4

Step-by-step explanation:

Minh: 6r + 2f = 44

Mikayla: 3r + 9f = 54

Multiply Mikayla's x 2:  6r + 18f = 108

Subtract Minh:               6r + 2f = 44

                                    16f = 64

f = 4, Folded paper is $4.

Substitute 4 for f into one of the equations.

6r + 2(4) = 44

6r + 8 = 44

6r = 36

r = 6 Rolled paper is $6

The function that best defines this arithmetic sequence is:

[tex]f(n) = f(n - 1) - 4, f(1) = 9[/tex]

What is an arithmetic sequence?In an arithmetic sequence, the difference between consecutive terms is always the same, called common difference d.

The recursive function that defines the sequence is:

[tex]f(n) = f(n - 1) + d[/tex]

[tex]f(1) = f_0[/tex]

In which [tex]f_0[/tex] is the first term.

In this problem, the sequence is: {9, 5, 1, -3}

Each term is the previous term subtracted by 4, hence [tex]d = -4[/tex].The first term is 9, hence [tex]f_0 = 9[/tex].

What is ∠FYT?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

FYT and UYF are supplementary angles (together they cover all angles around Y on one side of the line TU, and that's is in total 180°).

so,

FYT = 180 - 42 1/8 = 137 7/8°

as 180 - 42 = 138, and then we subtract another 1/8. that gives 137 7/8.

the rocks to hit the ground?

To solve this problem solve the equation

Don't forget

to label your

answer

Answers

From the information given, the time taken for the rock to hit the ground will be 3.326 seconds.

From the information given, the formula for the height is given as:

h(t) = -16t² + v + h0

where,

h0 = 177

h(t) = 0

We'll put the values back into the formula. This will be:

h(t) = 16t² + v + h0

0 = -16t² + 177

16t² = 177

t² = 177/16

t = 3.326

Therefore, the time taken will be 3.326 seconds.
