sara says. "if you subtract 14 from my number and multiply the difference by -4, the result is -80." What is Sara's number?​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

34

Step-by-step explanation:

We can solve this equation by giving Sara's number a variable.

Let it be x.

Then we solve by simply interpreting the problem step by step.

"If you subtract 14 from my number..."

x - 14

"...and multiply the different by -4..."

-4(x-14)

"...the result is -80"

-4(x-14) = -80

Now that we have our equation, we can solve for x.

1.) Use distributive property to expand.

-4x + 56 = -80

2.) Subtract 56 from both sides

-4x = -136

3.) Divide by -4

x = 34

Sara's number is 34

Answer 2

Using distributive property to expand, it is found that Sara's number is; 34

What is distributive property?

The distributive property states that an expression of the form A(B + C) can be solved by a multiplication over addition operation that is

A(B + C) = AB + AC

This property is known by distributive law and applies to subtraction also.

We need to solve this equation by giving Sara's number a variable.

Let the Sara's number a variable be x.

Then we solve by simply interpreting "If you subtract 14 from my number..." means

x - 14

Then "...and multiply the different by -4..." means -4(x-14)

"...the result is -80"

-4(x-14) = -80

Now that we have our equation,

1.) Use distributive property to expand;

-4x + 56 = -80

Subtract 56 from both sides;

-4x = -136

Now Divide by -4

x = 34

Hence, Sara's number is; 34

I am doing math homework and need some assistance solving, 2(2t+4)=3/4(24-8t)

Answers

Answer:

They are equal

Step-by-step explanation:

If you do 2 plus 4 in the parentheses then that equals 6 and 6t time 2 is 12t because the t doesnt have a value therefore it sticks onto the answer and if you convert the 3/4 into .75 then you can subtract the 24 by 8t and get 16 then when you multiply the 16 by 3/4 it will take .75 off of 16 and the answer is the same therefore they are equal equations.  

GEOMETRY HELP!!

19. What is the coordinate of the midpoint of the segment formed by the two points you found in Exercises 17 and 18?

Please explain

Answers

Answer:

0

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the coordinate of the midpoint of segment QB, first, find the distance from Q to B.

QB = |4 - 8| = |-4| = 4

The coordinate of the midpoint of QB would be at ½ the distance of QB (½*4 = 2).

Therefore, coordinate of the midpoint of QB = the coordinate of Q + 2 = 4 + 2 = 6

OR

Coordinate of B - 2 = 8 - 2 = 6

Coordinate of the midpoint of QB = 6

Coordinate of W = -8

Coordinate of A = 0

distance from W to A (WA) = |-8 - 0| = |-8| = 8

The coordinate of the midpoint of WA would be at ½ the distance of WA = ½*8 = 4.

Therefore, coordinate of the midpoint of WA = the coordinate of W + 4 = -8 + 4 = -4

Or

Coordinate of A - 4 = 0 - 4 = -4

Coordinate of the midpoint of WA = -4

Now, let's find the midpoint between the two new coordinates we have found, which are -4 and 4

Distance of the segment formed by coordinate -4 and 4 = |-4 - 4| = |-8| = 8

Midpoint = ½*8 = 4

Coordinate of the midpoint = -4 + 4 = 0

Or

4 - 4 = 0

you pay 9.70 for 2.5 pounds of roasted peanuts. You buy 1.4 pounds of almonds for 8.55 per pound.

How much less do roasted peanuts cost per pound than almonds?

How much more do you spend on almonds than on roasted peanuts.

Answers

$9.70 / 2.5lbs = $3.88 / pound of roasted peanuts.

$8.55 * 1.4lbs = $11.97 / 1.4 pounds of almonds

$8.55 - $3.88 = $4.67.

Roasted peanuts cost $4.67 less per pound than almonds.

$11.97 - $9.70 = $2.27

You spend $2.27 more on almonds than you do roasted peanuts.

3x(x+30°) i really need help asap

Answers

A13x2+390x here is the answer

Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplifying

x + 30 = 3x

Reorder the terms:

30 + x = 3x

Solving

30 + x = 3x

Solving for variable 'x'.

Move all terms containing x to the left, all other terms to the right.

Add '-3x' to each side of the equation.

30 + x + -3x = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: x + -3x = -2x

30 + -2x = 3x + -3x

Combine like terms: 3x + -3x = 0

30 + -2x = 0

Add '-30' to each side of the equation.

30 + -30 + -2x = 0 + -30

Combine like terms: 30 + -30 = 0

0 + -2x = 0 + -30

-2x = 0 + -30

Combine like terms: 0 + -30 = -30

-2x = -30

Divide each side by '-2'.

x = 15

Simplifying

x = 15

Answer :

Initial velocity = 63m/s

Final velocity = 75m/s

Time taken = 4.2

We have to find acceleration of car[tex].[/tex]

_________________________________

◈ Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of speed.

a = (v - u) / t

It is a vector quantity having both magnitude as well as direction.

SI unit : m/s²

⇒ a = (v - u) / t

⇒ a = (75 - 63) / 4.2

⇒ a = 12/4.2

⇒ a = 2.85 m/s²

How to go from a percent to a decimal and please put an explanation and example. If you do not know the answer then don’t respond. I really need to understand this! Please

Answers

Divide a percent by 100 and remove the percent sign to convert from a percent to a decimal. The shortcut way to convert from a percentage to a decimal is by removing the percent sign and moving the decimal point 2 places to the left.

example: 3.25% = 3.25 over 100 or,
3.25%=3.25100
3.25
%
=
3.25
100
3.25 over 100 is the same as 3.25 divided by 100. Completing the division we get:

3.25 ÷ 100 = 0.0325

Therefore, we have shown that

3.25% = 0.0325

Example :When we divide 50 by 100 we get 0.5 (a decimal number). So, to convert from percent to decimal: divide by 100, and remove the "%" sign.

- Find the coordinates of A if B(0,5.5) is the midpoint of AC and C has coordinates

(-3,6).

Answers

Given:

Coordinates of point C are (-3,6).

Point B(0,5.5) is the midpoint of AC.

To find:

The coordinates of A.

Solution:

Let the coordinates of point A are (a,b).

Formula for midpoint:

[tex]Midpoint=\left(\dfrac{x_1+x_2}{2},\dfrac{y_1+y_2}{2}\right)[/tex]

Using the above formula, the midpoint of A(a,b) and C(-3,6) is

[tex]B=\left(\dfrac{a+(-3)}{2},\dfrac{b+6}{2}\right)[/tex]

[tex](0,5.5)=\left(\dfrac{a-3}{2},\dfrac{b+6}{2}\right)[/tex]

On comparing both sides, we get

[tex]\dfrac{a-3}{2}=0[/tex]

[tex]a-3=0[/tex]

[tex]a=3[/tex]

and,

[tex]\dfrac{b+6}{2}=5.5[/tex]

[tex]b+6=11[/tex]

[tex]b=11-6[/tex]

[tex]b=5[/tex]

Therefore, the coordinates of point A are (3,5).
