7 less than 6 times a number is equal to 9 more than 4 times a number. What is the number?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Write an equation the represents the words.

6x - 7 = 4x + 9

To solve for x (the number), isolate it from the other variables.

Subtract 9 from both sides.

6x - 7 - 9 = 4x

Combine like terms.

6x - 16 = 4x

Subtract 6x from both sides.

-16 = 4x - 6x

Combine like terms.

-16 = -2x

Divide both sides by -2.

-16/-2 = x

x = 8

The number is 8.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer 2

Answer:

The number is 8.

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello there!

We're given an unknown number, let's call this number n

We know that 7 less than 6 times n is equal to 9 more than 4 times n

Let's break that statement down, starting with "7 less than 6 times n"

6 times n should be 6n, since 6 * n = 6n

"7 less" means subtraction.

So "7 less than 6n" should be 6n-7

Now with "9 more than 4 times n"

4 times n should be 4n, as 4 * n = 4n

"9 more" means addition

So "9 more than 4n" should be 4n+9

The statement says that 6n-7 is equal to 4n + 9, and so when we write it as an equation:

6n - 7 = 4n + 9

Now we can solve the equation

Subtract 4n from both sides

2n - 7 = 9

Add 7 to both sides

2n = 16

Divide both sides by n

n=8

The number is 8

PS. we can substitute 8 back into the equation as n to see if it works:

6(8)-7=4(8)+9

Multiply

48-7=32+9

41= 32 + 9

41=41

It works :))

Hope this helps!

Six apples and three oranges cost $3.36. Two apples and five oranges cost $3.04. Find the cost of one apple and the cost of an orange.

Answer and step-by-step explanation pls!!

Answers

Answer:

$0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

let x represent the price of apples

let y represent the price of oranges

6x+3y=3.36—eqn 1

2x+5y=3.04—eqn 2

Multiply eqn 2 by 3

3(2x+5y=3.04)=6x+15y=9.12

Subtract eqn 2 from 1

6x+3y=3.36

-{6x+15y=9.12}

-12y=-5.76

y=0.48

plug y=0.48 into eqn 1

6x+3(0.48)=3.36

6x=3.36-1.44

x=1.92/6=0.32

That is, an apple costs $0.32 and an orange costs $0.48

Therefore the cost of an orange and an apple=$0.48+$0.32=$0.8

Answer:

apple: $0.32orange: $0.48

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y represent the costs of 1 apple and 1 orange, respectively. The two cost figures tell us ...

  6x +3y = 3.36

  2x +5y = 3.04

We note that all of the numbers in the first equation are divisible by 3, so we can divide by 3 to reduce it to ...

  2x +y = 1.12

Subtracting this from the second equation gives ...

  (2x +5y) -(2x +y) = (3.04) -(1.12)

  4y = 1.92 . . . . . . . simplify

  y = 0.48 . . . . . . . divide by 4

Then the cost of an apple can be found from our reduced equation:

  2x +0.48 = 1.12 . . . substitute for y

  2x = 0.64 . . . . . . . . subtract 0.48

  x = 0.32 . . . . . . . . . divide by 2

The cost of one apple is $0.32; the cost of one orange is $0.48.

A farmer has two tractors. The probability that
tractor 1 will break down is 3% and the
probability that tractor 2 will break down is
5%. What is the probability that both tractors
will break down on a given day? Give your
ansineras

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

the break down probabilities are for the same given day ? one day ?

if that is so, then the expected value for a break down day for tractor 1 will be 34 days (rounded up 100%/3%), and for tractor 2 20 days (100%/5%).

that would be horrible. a tractor would only work for about a month without major repair.

because normally such probabilities are given for a warranty period like 1 or 3 or 5 years.

but the description does not say anything about that. so, we have to go with the primary assumption.

so, the question is about the probability that both things happen at the same time (the same day).

this is like asking for the probability of rolling a double 6 with two dice - both events (a 6 on a die) have to happen "together". so it is the probability of one event multiplied by the probability of the second event : 1/6 × 1/6 = 1/36

5% = 0.05 (5% is 5 hundredths) = 5/100

3% = 0.03 (3% is 3 hundredths) = 3/100

now both events (break-down of both tractors) happen together means 5/100 × 3/100 = 15/10000 = 0.0015

that means the probability in % is 0.15%

that means in other words, this event (both tractors breaking down on the save day) is expected to happen 15 times in 10000 days, or once every 667 days (or roughly every 2 years).

Li enters a competition to guess how many jelly beans are in a jar.
Li’s guess is 345 jelly beans.
The actual number of jelly beans is 300
.What is the percent error of Li’s guess?

Answers

Answer:

15% 15%

Step-by-step explanation:

it was correct for me

The percent error of Li’s guess is 15%

What is the absolute error?

"It is the absolute difference between an observed value and the actual value."

What is the relative error?

"It is the ratio of the absolute error of the measurement to the actual value."

What is the percent error?

"It is the relative error multiplied by 100."

For given example,

Li’s guess is 345 jelly beans.

observed value (E) = 345

The actual number of jelly beans is 300

actual value (A) = 300

So, the absolute error is,

Absolute error = |E - A|

                        = | 345 - 300|

                        = 45

Now, we find the relative error of Li's guess.

Relative error = 45 ÷ 300

Relative error = 0.15

The percent error is,

0.15 × 100 = 15%

Therefore, the percent error of Li’s guess is 15%

What is the equation in slope intercept form of the line that passes through the points (2,7) and (4,10)?

Answers

Answer:

y = 3/2x + 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First, you find the slope(y1 - y2/x1 - x2) which you can subsitute to 10 - 7/4-2, which will get you 3/2 and you put that in the place of the slope (m). So now our equation is y=3/2x+ y-int, to find the y intercept, there is a method which you can use to find it is to time the x point in a set by the slope, and minus it using the y to find the y intercept. In this case, you time the 2 by 3/2, which will get you 3, and minus it by the y that is 7, and you will get 4
