If 15% of 4x is 20 less than x, what is the value of x?

Answers

Answer 1

The sentence "15% of 4x is 20 less than x"

translates to    0.15 • (4x)  = x – 20

Solving that…

    0.15(4x) = x - 20           multiplipy 0.15•4

          0.6x = x - 20           subtract x from both sides

         -0.4x = - 20              divide both sides by -0.4

                x = 50

((No website links please I'm giving 15 points))

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

For Dog walking, he earns $30 for 5 hours of work.

He earns $36 for 6 hours of work.

$30/5 hours = $6/hour

$36/6 hours = $6/hour

He earns $6/hour dog walking.

For 8 hours, he earns 8 hours * $6/hour = $48

To earn $66, he works 66/6 = 11 hours.

5 30

6 36

8 48

11 66

Part B:

He earns $7/hour for yard work, so multiply the number of hours by 7 to find the money he earns.

Table for yard work

Hours     Money

5             $35

6             $42

8             $56

Part C:

For 5 hours, he earns $35 for yard work and $30 as a dog walker.

$35 - $30 = $5

In Ms. Enderson's class there are 14 boys and 12 girls. What percent of girls are in the class?

Answers

Answer:

46.15%

Step-by-step explanation:

# of girls + # of boys = total # of students

12+14=26

# of girls / total # of students = percentage of girls in the class

12÷26=0.461538

Move the decimal place over two spots or multiply by 100 for the percent

46.1538%

Answers

Part A

Refer to the diagram below. Specifically, refer to figure 1.

Point P is added to form a right triangle.

J is at (-7,2) and P is at (11,2). Segment JP is 18 units long.

We split segment JP into 4 equal pieces to get 18/4 = 4.5; this result is added onto the x coordinate of J to get -7+4.5 = -2.5 which is the x coordinate of point Q. So Q is at (-2.5, 2)

The value -2.5 is the x coordinate of point S as well.

Notice how the ratio JQ:QP is equal to 1:3.

----------

The distance from P to H is 6 units, which divided into four pieces means 6/4 = 1.5 is added onto the y coordinate of P to get 2+1.5 = 3.5; this is the y coordinate of points R and S as the diagram indicates. Like in the previous section, the ratio PR:RH is equal to 1:3

So ultimately point S is located at (-2.5, 3.5)

If we used the distance formula to compute the lengths of segments JS and SH, then we should find that they are in the ratio 1:3. In other words, segment SH is 3 times longer compared to segment JS. This would help confirm the answer. I'll let you do this confirmation part.

Answer: (-2.5, 3.5)

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

Part B

Refer to figure 2 this time.

We'll have a similar thing going on here as done in part A, though the points Q and R are in different locations.

To find where Q must be, we take 5/6 of the distance from J to P (which we found was 18 units). So (5/6)*18 = 15. This 15 is added onto the x coordinate of J to get -7+15 = 8. This is the x coordinate of point Q and point T.

Similarly, (5/6)*(length of segment PH) = (5/6)*6 = 5 is added onto the y coordinate of P to form the point R(11,7). The y coordinate of this helps form the y coordinate of the point T.

In short, point T is located at (8,7)

You should find that JS/SH is equal to 5/6 when you apply the distance formula to compute the lengths of JS and SH. I'll let you do this confirmation.

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's distribute the parenthesis

Solve:

5(x - 3) = 3x + 55(x) - 5(3) = 3x + 55x - 15 = 3x + 5

Now, we can rearrange the variable so that x is on one side and the numbers are on the other.

5x - 15 = 3x + 55x - 15 - 3x = 3x + 5 - 3x2x - 15 = 52x - 15 + 15 = 5 + 152x = 20

We can isolate x by dividing by the coefficient of x (2).

2x = 202x ÷ 2 = 20 ÷ 2x = 10

The value of x is 10.

Then the value of x will be,

→ 20 - 3x = 5

→ -3x = 5 - 20

Find the measure of each angle indicated

Answers

Answer:

67°

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The final angle in the top triangle is : 70

The angles in a triangle add up to 180° so 74 + 36 = 110 and 180 - 110 = 70

2. Vertically opposite angles are equal so the angle opposite the one we just found is 70° as well

3. The angles in a triangle add up to 180° so 70 + 43 = 113 and 180 - 110 = 67

Therefore, ? = 67°

The answer is 67 because 74+36=110 and 180-110=70 and 70+43=113 so the answer is 67

The average temperature is 62°F on Monday and 58 F on Tuesday. If the average temperature from Monday through Wednesday is at least 64°F, what is the lowest possible average temperature on Wednesday, in degrees Fahrenheit?

Answers

Using the mean concept, it is found that the lowest possible average temperature on Wednesday, in degrees Fahrenheit, is of 72.

What is the mean?

The mean of a data-set is given by the sum of all observations in the data-set divided by the number of observations.

In this problem, there are 3 observations, given by: 62, 58 and x.

The mean is of at least 64, hence:

[tex]\frac{62 + 58 + x}{3} \geq 64[/tex]

[tex]120 + x \geq 192[/tex]

[tex]x \geq 72[/tex]
