Answers

Answer 1
3x-6=21
Or,3x=27
Or,x=27/3
Or,x=9
So,Now,
X-2=9-2
=7
Hope it helps
Answer 2

The value  of x - 2 in the equation 3x - 6 = 21 is 7.

What is an equation ?

An equation is comparing two equal quantities in different form.Equations can be of many types like algebraic equation, logarithmic equation,trigonometric equations, exponential equations.We can also graph this equations in 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional plane.

According to the question given an equation 3x - 6 = 21 first we have to solve for x or find the value of x.

∴ 3x - 6 = 21.

3x = 21 + 6.

3x = 27.

x = 27/3.

x = 9.

So, the value of (x-2) will be (9-2) = 7.

Hi!

x = 57 degrees.

Explanation:

There is a straight line, so that must mean there is a linear pair. We know the first part of that pair is 123 degrees. The linear pair adds up to 180 degrees. Subtract 123 from 180 to get 57.

That angle and x are alternate interior angles, so they are equivalent.

As an exercise for her students, she had them graph her total weekly pay in dollars as it relates to her number of hours worked. Now you will do the same. (6 points: Part I - 1 point; Part II - 2 points; Part III - 1 point; Part IV - 2 points)
Part I: What equation models the tutor's total weekly pay y in dollars as it relates to the number of hours x that she has worked if the tutor has worked 40 hours or fewer?








Part II: What equation models the tutor's total weekly pay y in dollars as it relates to the number of hours x that she has worked if the tutor has worked more than 40 hours?








Part III: Combine the slope-intercept equations found in parts I and II into one piecewise equation.








Part IV: Graph the tutor's total weekly pay in dollars as it relates to her number of hours worked by using the piecewise equation from part III and the coordinate grid below.

If they instead chose front and back covers of thickness 1/3 of an inch, how would this change the equations in the previous two parts

Answers

Answer:

where is the rest of the question

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

y = 1/2 + 1/4*x

Explanation:

Given that the front cover has a thickness of 1/4 an inch and back cover also has a thickness of 1/4 an inch, then, the addition of both gives to the book thickness of 1/4 + 1/4 = 1/2 inch, despite how many pages it has.

Given that for every hundred pages a thickness of 1/4 inch is added to the book, then the equation is:

y = 1/2 + 1/4*x

where y refers to the width of the book, and x refers to every hundred pages printed on bond paper. Y is measured in inches.

If you go out to eat with 3 friends and you mea was $72.50 there is a 6.75% slaes tax and you should tip the waiter 15% how much should each person pay.

Answers

Answer:

$29.42

Step-by-step explanation:

Total cost of meal for the 3 friends = $72.50

sales tax = 6.75%

percent tip = 15%

Total %paid on meal = 6.75%+15% = 21.75%

Increment paid = 21.75% of  $72.50

Increment paid =  21.75/100 * 72.50

Increment paid = 21.75 * 0.7250

Increment paid = $15.7685

Total amount paid = original cost + increment

Total amount paid = $72.50+$15.7685

Total amount paid = $88.26875

If the 3 friends paid $88.26875

Each person will pay $88.26875/3 = $29.42

Hence each person will pay $29.42

A plane ticket to Barcelona costs £175 the price decreases by 6%

To find:

The new price of the plane ticket

Solution:

The ticket to Barcelona costs £ 175

The price decreases by 6%

⇒ 6% = 6/100 = 3/50

The new price of the plane ticket is decreased by the amount,

= £ 175 × 3/50

= £ 10.5

Therefore, the new price of the plane ticket is given by,

Add a colon to the end of the statement Begin the statement with the keyword count Change the parentheses around the test condition to quotation marks Use quotation marks around the relational operator

Answers

Answer:

Add a colon to the end of the statement

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x = 1

while(x < 26)

   print(x)

   x = x + 1

Required

Spot and fix the error

Every lines of the given code segment is correct except the second line.

The syntax of a while loop is:

while(condition):

Comparing while(condition): to while(x < 26),

we'll see that while(x < 26) has a missing colon.

So, the error in the program is a missing colon and the solution is (option a) adding a colon to the end of the while statement

So, the correct code segment is:

x = 1

while(x < 26):

   print(x)

   x = x + 1

La altura de una pelota que es lanzada directamente hacia arriba con una velocidad de 40 pies/s esta dada por y=40t -16t2 ¿Cuál es la altura máxima alcanzada por la pelota?

Answers

Explicación paso a paso:

Dada la altura de una pelota que se lanza directamente hacia arriba con una velocidad de 40 pies / modelada por la ecuación y = 40t -16t ^ 2

La pelota alcanzó su altura máxima cuando la velocidad es cero.

La velocidad se expresa como dy / dt

dy / dt = 40 - 2 (16) t

dy / dt = 40 - 32t

A altura máxima, dy / dt = 0

0 = 40-32t

-40 = -32t

t = 40/32

t = 1,25 s

Para obtener la altura máxima alcanzada, sustituirá t = 1.25 en la función modelada de la altura como se muestra;

y = 40t - 16t ^ 2

y = 40 (1,25) - 16 (1,25) ^ 2

y = 50 - 25

y = 25

Por tanto, la altura máxima que alcanza la pelota es de 25 m

Queremos encontrar la altura máxima alcanzada por una pelota que es lanzada hacia arriba. Veremos que la altura máxima es 25 pies.

Encontrando el máximo.

Sabemos que la ecuación de la altura es:

y = 40*t - 16*t^2

Podemos ver que es una parabola con un coeficiente lider (el que multiplica la variable al cuadrado) negativo. Esto sinifica que el maximo esta en el vertice.

Para una parabola general:

a*x^2 + b*x + c

El vertice está en:

x = -b/(2a)

Así que en nuestro caso, el vertice de y = -16*t^2 + 40*t está en:

t = -40/(2*(-16)) = 1.25

Para encontrar la altura maxima evaluamos la ecuación en este valor de t:

y = 40*1.25 - 16*(1.25)^2 = 25

Es decir, la altura máxima es 25 pies.

Vaping is good for you because it doesnt do anything. Weed is good for you because it helps you calm down and forget. These are perfect examples as to why they are not good. Vaping damages your lungs and can give your body cancer. Over time, smoking weed may cause chronic cough and other health issues. Both vaping, weed, cigarettes, alcohol, and many more drugs are not good for you or your body.Drugs are used across the world. Whether they are used properly or abused. Drugs are easy to become addicted to. They can cause substance abuse, which leads to jail time. While drugs also heal people, for example, prescription drugs when used properly are beneficial. They need to be used in restraint because even medically given to you, they are addictive. For example, pain-reducing opioids, though they are helpful they are addictive. All minds are affected; it's not just a teenager thing. Drugs should be monitored by someone, and while it is slightly out-of-pocket, it's a lot better than spending possible years in prison.Vaping may be a little better than weed or cigarettes but it still harms your body in multiple ways. It causes you to crave and if you dont follow that craving it will lead to withdrawal symptoms. Nicotine is an addictive chemical. It is a toxic substance. It raises your blood pressure and spikes your adrenaline, which then increases your heart rate. Increased heart rate can conclude to having a heart attack.An abundance of alcohol can harm the liver.
