doubling the sum of 5 and a number is equal to the same number decreased by 2. what is the equation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2(x + 5) = x - 2

⟹ x = -12

Step-by-step explanation:

Doubling the sum of 5 and a number is equal to the same number decreased by 2. What is the equation?

This word problem can be written as:

⟹ 2(x + 5) = x - 2

1. Distribute:

2(x) + 2(5) = x - 2

⟹ 2x + 10 = x - 2

2. Subtract x from both sides:

2x - x + 10 = x - x - 2

⟹ x + 10 = -2

3. Subtract 10 from both sides:

x + 10 - 10 = -2 - 10

⟹ x = -12

4. Check your work:

2(x + 5) = x - 2

2(-12 + 5) = -12 - 2

2(-7) = -20

⟹ -14 = -14 ✔

There was a flat fee of 10 dollars

Each 1/4 hour brought in 3,75

The total charge was 55 dollars.

Equation

Charge = 10 + 4*3.75*x                     as an hourly rate,

Solution

55 = 10 + 4*3.75x                                Combine

55 = 10 + 15x                                       Subtract 10 from both sides

55-10= 10-10 + 15x

45 = 15x                                               Divide by 15

5x+5y=0

I need help with this.

Answers

first because 5x+5y=0 you can factor the 5
from equation so:
5(x+y) =5 (0) => x+y=0
and by solving for × using elimination method
-8x+y=36
x+y=0
by subtracting both x and y we get
-9x=36 => x=-4
by inputing × into the "x+y=0" equation so we get:
-4+y=0 => y=4

Answer:

x=  -4, y = 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

first, divide the first equation by its G.C.D (5), to obtain its simplest form.

5x/5 + 5y/5 = 0/5 to obtain x + y = 0.

Then, find the value of y by rearranging the second equation.

y = 36 + 8x. (Rem; when 8x moves to the other side of the equation, it changes the sign)

Now substitute the value of y (36 + 8x) in the first equation which is x + y = 0.

x + 36+8x = 0

Put like terms together.

36 + 9x = 0

move 9x to the other side and change its sign.

36 = -9x

divide both sides by 9,

x = -4.

Lastly, find the value of y by replacing the value of x in either equation.

-8(-4) + y = 36

32 + y = 36

rearrange to obtain

y = 36 - 32

y = 4.

What are the Properties of the Angles of a Parallelogram?

In a parallelogram, the angles that are opposite to each other are congruent while consecutive angles are supplementary.

Angles F and G are consecutive angles and are therefore supplementary (have a sum of 180 degrees.)

Angle F + angle G = 180

4x - 2 + 34 = 180

4x + 32 = 180

4x = 180 - 32

4x = 148

x = 148/4

The amount of milk needed for a 17-pound goat and a 55-pound goat are 55 and 87.5 cubic units, respectively

How to determine the amount of milk?

The equation is given as:

if the area of a square is 32ft how long is the diagonal?

Answers

8 FEET LONG

A square has the same length all 4 sides, therefore in order to find the length of the sides, you would need to find the square root of 32, which would be 5.66 or 4 radical 2. Then to find the diagonal length you would need to split the square diagonally resulting in 2 triangles. We know the side lengths of the triangles but not the hypotenuse( longest side of triangle), which is the diagonal length. To figure this out we would use the Pythagorean theorem a^2 + b^2 = c^2. We know what a and b are so we substitute, do basic algebra, and find that c is equal to 8

Answer: 8

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the diagonal, we need to use two formulas:

Area of a square: [tex]A = s^{2}[/tex] (Area = side * side)

Pythagorean Theorem: [tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2}[/tex]  

Since  every side of a square is the same:

[tex]a^2 = b^2\\a = b = \sqrt{32} \\a^{2} = 32\\b^2 = 32[/tex]

Our equation:

[tex]32 + 32 = c^2\\64 = c^2\\8 = c[/tex]

Answers

The price of one pen will be $1.5 and one highlighter is $4.

What is an expression?

Expression in maths is defined as the collection of the numbers variables and functions by using signs like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.

Given that:-

Frank bought 6 pens and 3 highlighters in the school store and paid $21 for the whole purchase.His friend, Andy paid $19 for 2 pens and 4 highlighters.

The cost of the pen and the highlighter will be calculated by forming the two expressions from the given data in the question the expressions are as follows:-

6p  +  3h  = 21

2p  +  4 h = 19

Solving the above linear equations by elimination method:-

( 6p  +  3h  = 21 ) x 2

( 2p  +  4 h = 19 ) x 6

The new equations are:-

12p  + 6h  =  42

12p  + 24h  = 114

Substracting the below equation from the above equation we will get:-

6h - 24h  =  -72

-18 h = -72

h  =  $4

Put the value of h in any of the above equations:-

2p  +  4 h = 19

2p  +  4 ( 4 )  = 19

2p  +  16  =  19

p  =  3 / 2

P  = $1.5

Therefore the price of one pen will be $1.5 and one highlighter is $4.

What is Similar Triangle?

Similar triangles are the triangles that have corresponding sides in proportion to each other and corresponding angles equal to each other.

Here, mark the park as A, Home as B, Library as C and field as D.

  Now, CD = 18 miles

            BC = 4 miles

we have to find AC (distance between library and park)

   BD = BC + CD = 18 + 4 = 22 miles

 Using property of similar triangles,

        AD² = BD X CD

         AD² = 22 X 18

         AD = √22 X √18

         AD = 6√11 miles

By Pythagoras theorem,

         AD² = AC² + CD²

        396 = AC² + 324

         AC² = 396 - 324

         AC² = 72

           AC = √72

           AC = 6√2 miles

Thus, the distance between library and park is 6√2 miles and the distance between park and field is 6√11 miles.

Answers

The average rate of change of the number of miles with respect to the number of gallons is 14.5 miles per gallon

How to determine the average rate of change?

The given parameters can be represented as:

M(0) = 30680

M(20) = 30970

The average rate of change is calculated as:

M'(t) = (M(20) - M(0))/(20 - 0)

This gives

M'(t) = (30970 - 30680)/(20 - 0)

M'(t) = 14.5

Hence, the average rate of change of the number of miles with respect to the number of gallons is 14.5 miles per gallon

The average rate of change of M as t changes from 8 to 16.

This is calculated using

M'(t) = (M(16) - M(8))/(16 - 8)

M'(t) = (20 - 10)/(16 - 8)

M'(t) = 1.25

The average rate of change of M as t changes from 16 to 24.

This is calculated using

M'(t) = (M(24) - M(16))/(24 - 16)

M'(t) = (25 - 20)/(24 - 16)

M'(t) = 0.625

The average rate of change of M as t changes from 24 to 32.

This is calculated using

M'(t) = (M(32) - M(24))/(32 - 24)

M'(t) = (25 - 25)/(32 - 24)

M'(t) = 0

⇒ x - 4 = 10

⇒ x = 14

⇒ 2 = 6 + y / 2

⇒ y + 6 = 4

⇒ y = -2

Coordinates of Point Y :

⇒ Y = (14, -2)

Answer:

Y (14, - 2 )

Step-by-step explanation:

using the midpoint formula for (x₁, y₁ ) and (x₂, y₂ ) , then

midpoint = ( [tex]\frac{x_{1}+x_{2} }{2}[/tex] , [tex]\frac{y_{1+y_{2} } }{2}[/tex] )

equating the x- coordinates and the y- coordinates

let coordinates of Y = (x, y )

[tex]\frac{x-4}{2}[/tex] = 5 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

x - 4 = 10 ( add 4 to both sides )

x = 14

and

[tex]\frac{y+6}{2}[/tex] = 2 ( multiply both sides by 2 )

y + 6 = 4 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

y = - 2

coordinates of Y = (14, - 2 )
