Please help!! What is 6(4 - y) = 5 + 3?

Answers

Answer:

[tex] \boxed{ \boxed{ \bold{ \sf{2.6}}}}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex] \sf{6(4 - y) = 5 + 3}[/tex]

Distribute 6 through the parentheses

[tex] \sf{24 - 6y = 5 + 3}[/tex]

Add the numbers

[tex] \sf{24 - 6y = 8}[/tex]

Move constant to right hand side and change it's sign

[tex] \sf{ - 6y = 8 - 24}[/tex]

Calculate

[tex] \sf{ - 6y = - 16}[/tex]

Divide both sides of the equation by -6

[tex] \sf{ \frac{ - 6y}{ - 6} = \frac{ - 16}{ - 6} }[/tex]

Calculate

[tex] \sf{y = 2.6}[/tex]

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

Answer: Hi!

First, we need to distribute 6 to the terms inside of the parentheses, 4 and -y.

6 * 4 = 24

6 * (-y) = -6y

Our equation now looks like this:

24 - 6y = 5 + 3

We can now combine like terms.

24 - 6y = 5 + 3

5 + 3 = 8

Our equation now looks like this:

24 - 6y = 8

We can now use inverse operations to get rid of 24. Remember, our goal is to isolate the x. The inverse operation for addition (24 is positive) is subtraction, so we subtract 24 on both sides:

 24 - 6y = 8

- 24       - 24

Our equation now looks like this:

-6y = -16

Last step! We now use inverse operations to get rid of -6. The inverse operation for multiplication is division (-6 is being multiplied by y); so we divide -6 on both sides.

-6y/-6 = y

-16/-6 = 8/3 = 2 2/3

Our equation now looks like this:

y = 2 2/3

Therefore, your solution is 2 2/3.

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees the second angle of a triangle is twice the measure of the first angle the third is 20 more than 5 times the first what are the measures of the three angles

Answers

Greetings from Brasil...

As said:

1° angle: X

2° angle: 2X

3° angle: 20 + 5X

"...The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle is 180 degrees..."

(1° angle) + (2° angle) + (3° angle) = 180

X + 2X + (20 + 5X) = 180

X + 2X + 5X = 180 - 20

8X = 160

X = 160/8

X = 20

But the problem asks for the value of each angle. Thus

1° angle: X

as X = 20, so

1° angle: X = 20

2° angle: 2X

as X = 20, so

2° angle: 2.20 = 40

3° angle: 20 + 5X

as X = 20, so

3° angle: 20 + 5.20 = 20 + 100 = 120

The values of the first, second, and third angles are 20°, 40° and 120° respectively.

Let the first angle = x

Let the second angle = 2 × x = 2x

Let the third angle = 20 + (5 × x) = 20+5x

Total angles in the triangle = 180°

Based on the information above, the angles will be calculated thus:

x + 2x + 5x + 20 = 180

Collect like terms

8x = 180 - 20

8x = 160

x = 160/8

x = 20

First angle = 20°

Second angle = 2x = 2 × 20° = 40°

Third angle = 5x + 20 = (5 × 20°) + 20° = 120°

The angles are 20°, 40°, and 120°

Rayne sold 3 desks at the local trade show. He paid $4.00 to rent the booth. He gave half of his revenue to the carpenter and was left with $185.50. At what price did Rayne sell each desk?

Answers

Rayne sell each desk at the price of $125.

What is the unitary method?

The unitary method is a method for solving a problem by the first value of a single unit and then finding the value by multiplying the single value.

Given the following information;

The Number of desks sold = 3

The Amount of rent paid = $4

The Amount paid to carpenter = 1/2 of revenue

The Amount left = $185.50

If Rayee gave half of his revenue to the carpenter and then had $185.50 left.

The his revenue before paying the carpenter will be twice what he has left will be;

($185.50 * 2) = $371

Hence, the total revenue from the sale of 3 desk = ($371 + rent)

= (371 + 4)

= $375

Then each desk cost :

$375 / 3 = 125

Hence, Rayne sell each desk at the price of $125.

The addition is one of the four fundamental mathematical operations. The selling price of each desk is $122.33.

What is Addition?

The addition is one of the four fundamental mathematical operations, the others being subtraction, multiplication, and division. When two whole numbers are added together, the total quantity or sum of those values is obtained.

Revenue generated = Revenue left with Rayne + Revenue with carpenter

Since Rayne gave half of his revenue to the carpenter, therefore, both of them will have the same revenue will them

Revenue generated = Revenue left with Rayne + Revenue left with Rayne

Revenue generated = 2(Revenue left with Rayne)

Revenue generated = 2($185.50)

Revenue generated = $371

Also, Rayne paid a booth rent of $4. Therefore, the total revenue generated will be,

Total revenue generated = Revenue generated + $4

                                          = $371 + $4

                                          = $367

Since Rayne sell 3 desks, therefore, the selling price of each desk will be,

Selling price = $367 / 3

                     = $122.33

Hence, the selling price of each desk is $122.33.

What do you mean by algebraic expressions ?

Algebraic expression is an equation which consists of variables and the arithmetic operations such as division , multiplication , etc.

The algebraic expression given is -|5 + 5x| - 9 = -20

We know that a modulus sign is a representation of  ran absolute value which has two values either a positive or negative value.\

After solving the expression we get :

-|5 + 5x| - 9 = -20

So , after removing the modulus sign we will get two expressions :

-(-(5 + 5x) - 9 = -20

5 + 5x = -11

or

-(5 + 5x) - 9 = -20

-(5 + 5x) = -11

Solving the two expressions we get the value of x as :

x  = -16/5

or

x = 6/5

Therefore , the value of x after solving the expression -|5 + 5x| - 9 = -20 is equal to x  = -16/5 or x = 6/5.

You invest $5,000 dollars in an account at 1.6% interest and interest is compounded
annually (once a year).
a) Write an equation that shows the amount of money you have after x years.
b) How much money would you have after 15 years?

Answers

Part (a)

Answer: y = 5000(1.016)^x

------------------

Explanation:

You use the compound interest formula

A = P(1 + r/n)^(n*t)

where

A = final amount after t yearsP = amount deposited (principal) = 5000r = decimal form of interest rate = 0.016n = number of times we compound per year = 1t = number of years = x, some unknown number

After plugging those values in, you would go from A = P(1 + r/n)^(n*t) to

A = P(1 + r/n)^(n*t)

A = 5000(1 + 0.016/1)^(1*x)

A = 5000(1.016)^x

Since you're using x for the input, it's possible your teacher wants you to use y for the output. So replace A with y to get y = 5000(1.016)^x

==============================================

Answer: 6344.18 dollars

--------------------------

Explanation:

Plug x = 15 into the equation we found back in part (a). Use your calculator to simplify. Round to the nearest hundredth which is rounding to the nearest penny.

y = 5000(1.016)^x

What is the greatest integer a, such that a^2 + 3b is less than (2b)^2, assuming that b is 5? Please answer and have a nice day!

Answers

Answer: Largest value is a = 9

===================================================

Work Shown:

b = 5

(2b)^2 = (2*5)^2 = 100

So we want the expression a^2+3b to be less than (2b)^2 = 100

We need to solve a^2 + 3b < 100 which turns into

a^2 + 3b < 100

a^2 + 3(5) < 100

a^2 + 15 < 100

after substituting in b = 5.

------------------

Let's isolate 'a'

a^2 + 15 < 100

a^2 < 100-15

a^2 < 85

a < sqrt(85)

a < 9.2195

'a' is an integer, so we round down to the nearest whole number to get [tex]a \le 9[/tex]

So the greatest integer possible for 'a' is a = 9.

------------------

Check:

plug in a = 9 and b = 5

a^2 + 3b < 100

9^2 + 3(5) < 100

81 + 15 < 100

96 < 100 .... true statement

now try a = 10 and b = 5

a^2 + 3b < 100

10^2 + 3(5) < 100

100 + 15 < 100 ... you can probably already see the issue
