Joan can't quite read the board in her math class. She writes down the equation she reads on the
board as 3x – 7 = 38. She correctly solves the equation she wrote down, but is surprised to hear the
teacher say the answer is 6 less than the answer she found. When she asks the teacher to check her
work, the teacher says that Joan copied the coefficient of x incorrectly (but copied everything else
correctly). What should the coefficient of x have been?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 7 =38

3x = 38+7

3x = 45/3

x = 15

Answer 2

The correct coefficient of x is 5 and the correct equation is 5x-7=38.

What is an equation?

In mathematics, an equation is a formula that expresses the equality of two expressions, by connecting them with the equals sign =.

The given equation is 3x-7=38.

Solution to given equation is

3x=38+7

3x=45

x=15

The teacher say the answer is 6 less than the answer she found.

Which is x=9

The teacher says that Joan copied the coefficient of x incorrectly

If equation is 5x-7=38

5(9)-7=38

38=38

Therefore, the correct coefficient of x is 5 and the correct equation is 5x-7=38.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\frac{9x}{2}[/tex] - 16

Step-by-step explanation:

8.5x - 2(2x + 8)

Use the distributive property to multiply −2 by 2x+8.

8.5x - 4x - 16

Combine 8.5x and −4x to get 4.5x.

4.5x - 16

= [tex]\frac{9x}{2}[/tex] - 16

You must distribute first so -2•2x=-4xand -2•8=-16
So expanded form is 8.5x•(-2•2x)+(-2•8)

Danielle bought a silver coat rack online it cost $653.76 +7% shipping and handling what was the total cost
round your answer to the nearest cent

Answers

Answer:

$699.52

Step-by-step explanation:

Theres two ways to solve this.

(1) You can either find 7 percent of 653.76 and then add it on

or

(2) You can just multiply the tax with the 653.76

Option (1)

You find 7 percent of 653.76. Now percent means out of a hundred so 7 percent is really 7/100 or 0.07

Now you multiply 653.76 by 0.07 which is 45.76 (rounded to nearest cent)

Now add it up to the total.

653.76+45.76= $699.52

Option (2)

This is the easier method in my opinion. SInce you want to find the total of the product including tax. The tax is technically multiplying the total. The total of course is 653.76 and total means everything. Everything means 100%. So you can add 100% to the tax cause technically thats what your doing becuase you grinding 7percent of the total which is 100 percent. So in this case your price is increasing by 107 percent.

(Example)

So If you want to find 100 percent of a product it would be the same exact result. Like 100 percent of 653.76 is 654.76… So using that we can just add the amount of tax to the 100%. 100+7=107%

Proof that this works is this

usually when you want to find a percentage of something, you turn the percentage into a decimal then multiply. So 100 percent of 653.76 is 653.76*1.00 which is 653.76. So the 100 percent is a place holder to prevent you from doing more steps. Now just add 7 percent since your increasing the total by 7 percent (tax). Now its 653.76*1.07 which when solved you would get $699.52. The same exact result. Less steps same result.

Final answer: $699.52

What is the contrapositive of "If our plane is not late, then we make our connecting flight.

Answers

Answer:

If we make our connecting flight then our plane is not late.

Step-by-step explanation:

The contrapositive occurs when the conclusion and the hypothesis change places.   Let the hypothesis be represented by "p" and the conclusion be represented by "q".  

                                                        hypothesis (p)                 [ conclusion (q)]

Now in the given statement:  If (our plane is not late), then [we make our connecting flight].

statement            If p then q

contrapositive  If q then p

The required contrapositive statement is: "If we do not make our connecting flight, then our plane is late."

The contrapositive of the statement "If our plane is not late, then we make our connecting flight" is formed by negating the hypothesis (antecedent) and the conclusion (consequent) and then switching their positions. The contrapositive is logically equivalent to the original statement. Here's the contrapositive:

Original Statement: If our plane is not late, then we make our connecting flight.

Contrapositive: If we do not make our connecting flight, then our plane is late.

In the contrapositive, we negate the "our plane is not late" to "our plane is late" and negate "we make our connecting flight" to "we do not make our connecting flight." Then we switch their positions.

B     n-12  turns into 12 which makes 7n-5 become -1 +7- 5 = 1   (12 x7=84 and -5+84 = 79)

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

7.5

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a trapezoid it is:

[tex]A= \frac{a+b}{2}h[/tex]

Where h is the height, b is the base, and a is the "top base," so our values are:

h = 5

b = 9

a = 6

Plug them in and solve:

[tex]A= \frac{a+b}{2}h[/tex]

[tex]A= \frac{6+9}{2}5[/tex]

[tex]A= \frac{15}{2}5[/tex]

[tex]A = (7.5)(5)[/tex]

[tex]A = 37.5[/tex]

The area of the rectangle is found by using:

[tex]A=bh[/tex] where b is the base and h is the height. So our values are:

b = 6

h = 5

Plug in and solve:

[tex]A=bh[/tex]

[tex]A=(6)(5)[/tex]

[tex]A = 30[/tex]

Subtract the rectangle from the trapezoid:

37.5 - 30 = 7.5

Answer: 7.5
