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.

x/2 +6 = 8

subtract 6 from both sides

x/2 = 2

multiply by the reciprocal of 1/2 which is 2. That cancels out the 2 on the x side and x is equal to 4

Hope that helps

Answer:

  x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

The left side of the equation has a variable term (x/2) and a constant term (6).

The right side of the equation has a constant term (8).

This is the form you expect to see for a "two-step" linear equation. It is solved in 2 steps.

Step 1:

Subtract the left-side constant from both sides.

  x/2 +6 -6 = 8 -6

  x/2 = 2 . . . . . simplify

Step 2:

Multiply both sides of the equation by the reciprocal of the coefficient of x. The coefficient of x is 1/2. Its reciprocal is 2/1 = 2. When you multiply both sides by 2, you get ...

  2(x/2) = 2(2)

  x = 4 . . . . . . simplify

Additional comment

The idea of a multiplicative inverse (reciprocal) is that a number multiplied by its reciprocal is 1.

  [tex]\dfrac{2}{1}\times\dfrac{1}{2}=\dfrac{2}{2}=1[/tex]

1 is the "identity element" for multiplication. That means whatever you multiply by 1 retains its original identity. Multiplying x by 1 gives x.

When we solve an equation of this sort, we use these properties of multiplication (inverse, identity element) to "get rid of" the coefficient of x.

As always, the rules of equality say that whatever you do to one side of the equation must also be done to the other side. So, when we multiply x/2 by 2, we must also multiply the other side of the equation by 2.

Answers

Answer: Check out the diagram below for the filled out table

Equation is y = 1.5x

Box for row one = 330

Box for row two = 1000

Box for row three = 1.5

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

Explanation

x = amount of fish in grams (horizontal axis)y = number of calories (vertical axis)

The point (x,y) = (200,300) is on the blue diagonal line. It indicates that x = 200 grams of fish have y = 300 calories. Divide the two values to get the slope

slope = y/x = 300/200 = 1.5

This trick only works because the line is going through the origin. Otherwise, we'd have to use the slope formula.

The slope of 1.5 is the constant of proportionality. It tells us the equation is y = 1.5x. Whatever x is, multiply by 1.5 to get y.

So if x = 220, then y = 1.5x = 1.5*220 = 330

220 grams of fish have 330 calories. We'll write 330 in the box of the first row of the table.

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

We can use this idea in reverse. If we know the calorie count (y), then we can divide by 1.5 to get the number of grams (x).

y = 1.5x

1500 = 1.5x

1.5x = 1500

x = 1500/(1.5)

x = 1000

Therefore, 1000 grams of fish have 1500 calories. We'll write 1000 in the box of the second row.

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

The third row of the table is going to follow the same steps as the first row.

y = 1.5x

y = 1.5*1

y = 1.5

One gram of fish produces 1.5 calories

Step-by-step explanation:

Use points on the graph to find a and b

Using (0, 5 ) , then

5 = a[tex]b^{0}[/tex] = a

Then

y = 5[tex]b^{x}[/tex]

Using (1, 2 )

2 = 5[tex]b^{1}[/tex] = 5b ( divide both sides by 5 )

[tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] = b

7) Sarawong spent half of his weekly allowance on candy. To earn more money his parents let him wash the dog for $6.10. What is his weekly allowance if he ended with $11.40?

Answers

Answer:

$10.60

Step-by-step explanation:

Sarawong ends with $11.40, and we need to find his weekly allowance by working backward. First, we learn that he earned $6.10 of that total amount of money by washing the dog, so we can subtract the two values:

11.4 - 6.1 = 5.3

So, before washing the dog, Sarawong had $5.30. But he only received this after spending half of his weekly allowance, so $5.30 must be half of his weekly allowance. If we multiply $5.30 by 2, we should be able to find his weekly allownce.

5.3 × 2 = 10.6

Now, we can check our work. First, he spends half of his weekly allowance on candy. Half of 10.6 is 5.3, so he now has $5.30. Then, he earns $6.10 more by washing the dog. 5.3 + 6.1 = 11.4, which is the ending value. So, our work was correct! Hopefully that's helpful. :)

Maggie's brother is 5 years younger than three times her
age. The sum of their ages IS 43.
How old is Maggie?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Maggie's age = x

The brother's age = 3x - 5

x + 3x - 5 = 43

4x - 5 = 43              Add 5 to both sides

4x - 5 + 5 = 43+5

4x = 48                  Divide by 4

4x/4 = 48/4

x = 12

Maggie = 12

Brother = 3*12 - 5

Brother = 36 - 5

Brother = 31

How long does his ladder need to be in order to reach the top of the house if the house is 27 feet tall?

Answers

The length of the ladder needed to reach the top of the house is 31.2 feet.

Trigonometric ratio is used to show the relationship between the sides and the angles of a right angled triangle.

Let d represent the length of the ladder. Using trigonometric ratio:

[tex]sin(60)=\frac{27}{d} \\\\d=\frac{27}{sin(60)} =31.2\ feet[/tex]
