The sum of two numbers is 72. The greater number is 8 more than the smaller
number. Which equation can be used to solve for the smaller number? (1 point)
1) x - (x + 8) = 72
2) x + (x + 8) = 72
3) x(x + 8) = 72
04) x(x – 8) = 72

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2

Step-by-step explanation:

So first you would set your two numbers as variables. Let y be the greater number and x be the smaller number. This means that our equation for y will be x + 8. Now all we need to do is add x and y. INSTEAD of using y, we will SUBSTITUDE with the equation for y, x + 8. Now our equation looks like

x + (x + 8) = 72

Solve the following:
4x-3=2x+7

Answers

Answer:

= 5

Step-by-step explanation:

Add 3 to both sides of the equation 4 − 3 = 2 + 7 4x-3=2x+7 4x−3=2x+7 4 − 3 + 3 = 2 + 7 + 3

Simplify Add the numbers Add the numbers 4 = 2 + 1 0

Subtract 2 2x 2x from both sides of the equation 4 = 2 + 1 0 4x=2x+10 4x=2x+10 4 − 2 = 2 + 1 0 − 2

Simplify Combine like terms Combine like terms 2 = 1 0

Divide both sides of the equation by the same term 2 = 1 0 2x=10 2x=10 2 2 = 1 0

Simplify Cancel terms that are in both the numerator and denominator Divide the numbers = 5

Solution x=5

This month the Middle School Media newspaper has 25 pages. Twenty-five schools order the paper for each of their students. Each of the schools has 25 classrooms with 25 students in each classroom. What expression with an exponent shows the total number of pages in all of the newspapers?

Answers

Answer:

25^4

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to find the expression that shows the total number of pages in all of the news papers

Number of pages per book = 25

Number of schools is 25

Number of classrooms is 25

Number of students per classroom is 25

Now; the number of students in each school

is 25 * 25

Number of students in all of the school will be;

25 * 25 * 25

So the number of pages in all of the schools will be;

25 * 25 * 25 * 25 = 25^4

It costs $4 to sign up for a music download service and $0.50 to download each song. Jada signs up for the service
and begins downloading music.
1. Complete the table showing how Jada can spend money downloading songs.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Note: I could not find any attached table of values, however, we can make do with the information given

step one:

the cost of sign up = $4

the cost of download for each song= $0.5

Step two:

Required

we want to find the cost of downloading any number of songs.

let the number of songs be x

and let the total cost be y

Hence the cost function is

y=0.5x+4

now supposing the value of x which is the number of downloads from the table is 10, then the total cost for 10 downloads will be

y=0.5(10)+4

y=5+4

y=9

Hence it will cost $9 to download 10 songs, just plug in the value of x into the cost function

What is the answer to this question.

Answers

I don't think I have ever seen a question worded with "partitions AB in the ratio".

But if it means what I think it means, a figure could explain it better.

o Here is B(2,0)

o Here is P(-1,-2.4)

Here is A(-3,-4)o

There is a straight line from the bottom point (A) to the top point (B) and its equation is y=0.8x-1.6

The point (-1, -2.4) lies on the line from A to B, but not in the center.

If you find the distance from A to P, then find the distance from P to B, you can make a ratio of the two lengths.

AP = sqrt[(-1-(-3))2+(-2.4-(-4))2] = sqrt[22+1.62] = sqrt[6.56] = 2.561
PB = sqrt[(-1-2)2+(-2.4-0)2]=sqrt[(-3)2+(-2.4)2] = sqrt[14.76] = 3.842

So the two parts are in the ratio 2.561 : 3.842 (AP : PB) or 2.561/3.842 = 0.66658 = 2/3 (approx)

The point P partitions AB into two segments with ratio 2/3

Not sure if that what you mean because there isn’t a lot of context but hope that helped, have a great day
