Which algebraic expression represents the phrase “two times the quantity of a number minus 12”?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The algebraic expression which represents the phrase “two times the quantity of a number minus 12” is : 2x- 12

Step-by-step explanation:

Algebraic expressions are the idea of expressing numbers using letters or alphabets without specifying their actual values. The basics of algebra taught us how to express an unknown value using letters such as x, y, z, etc. These letters are called here as variables. An algebraic expression can be a combination of both variables and constants. Any value that is placed before and multiplied by a variable is a coefficient.

for example :-

3x + 4y – 7,  4x – 10, etc.

These expressions are represented with the help of unknown variables, constants and coefficients. The combination of these three (as terms) is said to be an expression. It is to be noted that, unlike the algebraic equation, an algebraic expression has no sides or equal to sign

let the quantity mentioned in the question be 'x'

therefore according to the statement the algebraic expression which represents the phrase “two times the quantity of a number minus 12” is : 2x- 12 is

Jaime adds equations A and B to solve this system of equations. Why is this method
generally valid for solving a system of equations?

Answers

The elimination method is valid for the system of equation because the y term cancels.

How to solve a system of equation using elimination method?

The system of equation can be solved using elimination methods.

Therefore,

x - 2y = 3

3x + 2y = 17

Hence,

x + 3x  = 4x

-2y + 2y = 0

3 + 17 = 20

Therefore,

4x = 20

The y term cancels. Therefore, we can solve for x and later solve for y.

A bakery has a sale on cookies. If a customer buys a dozen cookies for $15, each additional single cookie is $0.75. What is an equation that shows how the total cost depends on the number of single cookies purchased? (Assume that the order starts with a dozen cookies.) How much would a dozen cookies plus six single cookies cost?

Answers

Answer:

T = 15 + 0.75c

T = $19.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume that T stands for total cost and c stands for number of single cookies purchased, the equation would be:

T = 15 + 0.75c

Therefore, a dozen cookies plus six single cookies would cost:

T = 15 + 0.75(6)

T = 15 + 4.5

T = $19.5

Answers

Using it's concept, it is found that there is a 0.6 = 60% probability that the flower is NOT A ROSE.

What is a probability?

A probability is given by the number of desired outcomes divided by the number of total outcomes.

In this problem, there are 6 + 5 + 4 = 15 flowers, out of which 5 + 4 = 9 are not roses, hence the probability is given by:

From the top of a cliff 90 m high, the angle of depression of a boat on the sea is 26.2°. Calculate how far the boat is
a from the foot of the cliff,
b from the top of the cliff.​

Answers

Answer:

  a) 182.90 m

  b) 203.85 m

Step-by-step explanation:

The relations between trig functions and measures in a right triangle are summarized in the mnemonic SOH CAH TOA. Here, we are given an angle and the side opposite, and we are asked to find the adjacent side and the hypotenuse.

__

a)

The foot of the cliff to the boat is the adjacent side of the angle in our model. So, we can use the relation ...

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

Solving for the adjacent side, we have ...

  BF = (90 m)/tan(26.2°) ≈ 182.90 m

The boat is about 182.90 meters from the foot of the cliff.

__

b)

The top of the cliff to the boat is the hypotenuse of the triangle we're using to model the situation. This means the applicable relation is ...

  Sin = Opposite/Hypotenuse

  BC = (90 m)/sin(26.2°) ≈ 203.85 m

The boat is about 203.85 meters from the top of the cliff.

The graph of the function:

Which graph represents the given function?

Here we have the function:

[tex]f(x) = \sqrt{x + 2} - 3[/tex]

Remember that the argument of a square root must be zero or larger, then the minimum of the domain is the value of x such that:

x + 2 = 0

x = -2

Then the function starts at:

[tex]f(-2) = \sqrt{-2 + 2} - 3 = -3[/tex]

Then the graph should start at (-3, 2).

We can also identify another point by evaluating in x = 2.

[tex]f(2) = \sqrt{2 + 2} - 3 =2 - 3 = -1[/tex]

So the function also passes through (2, - 1).

Notice that the only graph that contains these two points is the last graph (the bottom graph on the second image), so that is the correct option.

A triangular patch of grass in a park is bordered by walking paths. The longest path bordering the patch of grass measures 135 feet. The smallest path bordering the patch of grass measures 60 feet. The smallest angle formed by the paths measures 26°. What is the measure of the largest angle of the triangular patch of grass? Round your answer to the nearest degree. Show all your work.

Answers

The measure of the largest angle of the triangular patch of grass is 81 degrees

Application of sine rule

In order to determine the measure of the largest angle, we will use the expression below;

[tex]\frac{60}{sin26^0} =\frac{135}{sinx^0}[/tex]

Cross multiply

135sin26 = 60sinx

sinx = 135sin26/60

Contamination is a problem in the manufacture of optical storage disks. The number of particles of contamination that occur on an optical disk has a Poisson distribution, and the average number of particles per square centimeter of media surface is 0.1. The area of a disk under study is 100 cm2. Find the probability more than 12 particles occur in the area of a disk under study.

Answers

The probability that more than 12 particles occur in the area of a disk under the study is 0.20844.

The number of particles follows a Poisson Distribution.

A Poisson Distribution over a variable X, having a mean λ, has a probability for a random variable x as  [tex]P(X = x) = e^{-\lambda} \frac{\lambda^{x}}{x!}[/tex] .

In the question, x = 12.

λ = 100*0.1 = 10.

To find : P(X > 12)

P(X > 12) = 1 - P(X ≤ 12) = 1 - poissoncdf(10,12)

As to find the probability of a Poisson Distribution P(X ≤ x), for a mean = λ, we use the calculator function poissoncdf(λ,x).

Therefore, P(X > 12) = 1 - 0.79156 = 0.20844.

Therefore, the probability that more than 12 particles occur in the area of a disk under the study is 0.20844.

What is the solution (a+b) to this system of linear equations

3a+6b=45

2a-2b=12

Answers

The value of the equation a + b is 12

How to determine the solution?

The system of equations is given as:

3a + 6b = 45

2a - 2b = 12

Multiply the second equation by 1.5

3a - 3b = 18

Subtract this equation from the first equation to eliminate a

9b = 27

Divide by 9

b = 3

Substitute b = 3 in 2a - 2b = 12

2a - 2*3 = 12

Divide through by 2

a - 3 = 6

Add 3 to both sides

a = 9

So, we have:

a + b = 9 + 3

Evaluate

a + b = 12

Hence, the value of the equation a + b is 12

Answers

Using a system of equations, it is found that the price of a student ticket is of $3.49.

What is a system of equations?

A system of equations is when two or more variables are related, and equations are built to find the values of each variable.

The variables are given as follows:

Variable x: Price of a student ticket.Variable y: Price of an adult ticket.

Considering the revenues and the number of tickets sold, the equations are given as follows:

180x + 110y = 1345.100x + 90y = 935.

From the second equation:

90y = 935 - 100x

y = (935 - 100x)/90

y = 10.39 - 1.11x

Replacing in the first equation:

180x + 110y = 1345.

180x + 110(10.39 - 1.11x) = 1345

57.9x = 202.1.
