Fifteen less than twice a number is 21.
What is the missing number? |

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

2y - 15

Step-by-step explanation:

well 15 LESS than TWICE a number. okay so let’s start off by making a variable for the unknown number.... y. the variable is y. so now we have to think, TWICE that number, but we don’t know the number.

Now that we have the variable and we know it has to be doubled, let’s start off making the first half... we can out that into 2y. which is 2 multiplied by the unknown number.

now that we have the first half done, we have to take the 15 less. Less can mean  or subtract in this kind of situation. but for this certain scenario, it will be subtraction. so the equation would be 2y - 15.

Answer 2

Hello!

First of all, let the number be r.

"twice a number" means we multiply that number by 2:

2r

Subtract 15 (fifteen less)

2r-15

This is equal to 21:

2r-15=21

[tex]\rule{160}{2}[/tex]

Solve the equation:

2r=21+15

2r=36

Divide both sides by 2:

r=18

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!

solve x^2-3x+1=0 using completing the square method​

Answers

This won't be the easiest way to do this problem but as your teacher requires it I will do it that way. But at the end I will show another way to do it with the quadratic formula.

First complete the square

x^2-3x+1=0

(x^2-3x+9/4)+1=9/4

(x-3/2)^2=9/4-1

(x-3/2)^2=5/4

x-3/2=±[tex]\sqrt{\frac{5}{4}[/tex]

x= 3/2±[tex]\frac{\sqrt5}{2}[/tex]

Done!

*Now this next way is not the way your teacher wants you to do it but I personally think its easier.

Just use the quadratic formula x=[-b±sqrt(b^2-4ac)]/2

x=[3±sqrt(9-4*1*1)]/2

x=(3±sqrt5)/2

x=3/2±sqrt5/2

We get the same answer but I think this way is easier. Now if your teacher ask for the top way just do the top way don't do the bottom because you will lose points, its just a shorter way to do things. Now I hope this helped and any additional questions about this just ask me in the comments.

Home Prices The median selling price of an existing home in the United States increased continuously over the period 2011–2013 at the rate of 8.5% per year from approximately $166,000 in 2011.27 Write down a formula that predicts the median selling price of an existing home t years after 2011. Use your model to estimate, to the nearest $1,000, the median selling price of an existing home in 2013 and 2015

Answers

Answer:

166,000(1 + 0.085)^t ; $195,000 ; $230,000

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Rate of increase = 8.5% = 0.085 per year

Initial value ; price in 2011 (A) = $166,000

Formula to predict the median price t years after 2011 ;

At a continous rate :

Median price, P:

P = initial price (1 + rate)^t

P = 166,000(1 + 0.085)^t

t = time since 2011 ;

Median price of home in 2013:

t = 2013 - 2011 = 2

P = 166,000(1 + 0.085)^2

P = 166000(1.085)^2

P = 166000(1.177225)

P = 195419.35

P = $195,000 ( nearest $1000)

Median price of home in 2013:

t = 2015 - 2011 = 4

P = 166,000(1 + 0.085)^4

P = 166000(1.085)^4

P = 166000(1.385858700625)

P = 230052.54430375

P = $230,000 ( nearest $1000)

Suppose a certain city has 50 licensed restaurants, of which 15 currently have at least one serious health code violation and the other 35 have no serious violations. There are five inspectors, each of whom will inspect one restaurant during the coming week. The name of each restaurant is written on a different slip of paper, and after the slips ate thoroughly mixed, each inspector in turn draws one of the slips without replacement. Label the jth trial as a success if the ith restaurant selected has no serious violations. A certain state has 500,000 licensed drivers, of whom 400,000 are insured. A sample of 10 drivers chosen without replacement. The ith trial is labeled if the ith driver chosen is insured. Although this situation would seem identical to the example above, the important difference is that the size of the population being sampled is very large relative to the sample size. In this case
P(S on 2 S on 1) = 399, 999/499, 999 = _________
(rounded to five decimal places.)
and
P(S on 10 S on first 9) = 399, 991/499, 991 = ___________
(rounded to six decimal places) = 0.80000
These calculations suggest that although the trials are not exactly independent, the conditional probabilities differ so slightly from one another that for practical purposes the trials can be regarded as with constant P(s) =_______ (rounded to one decimal place). Thus, to a very good approximation, the experiment is with n = 10 and p = 0.8.

Answers

Answer:

P(S on 2 S on 1) = 0.80000

P(S on 10 S on first 9) = 0.799996

P(S) = 0.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

P(S on 2 S on 1)

= 399, 999/499, 999

= 0.80000

P(S on 10 S on first 9)

= 399, 991/499, 991

= 0.799996

P(S) = 0.8

Well, we are asked to simplify and solve this multiplication problem.
So, at first, this looks a little bit tricky but, we can actually break it down and then multiply with easy numbers.
First off, we can multiply 4 by 9 which is 45 however, we still have that major 50 so, to make it easier, we can just change the 50 to a 5 and then add the 0 at the end when we get our answer.

45 * 5
= 225

Lastly, we just need at put and add a zero (0) to our answer so, in conclusion, the answer to this question is: 2250.

Read the passage.My Last Roller Skating PartyIn an effort to relive the good old days of youth, my friend Tim decided to throw himself a 1980s-themed party at a roller skating rink. All my college friends were going, and we decided to dress for the theme, complete with headbands, leg warmers, blue eyeshadow, and teased hair. The night of the party, everyone looked great and we all had a good time.Then I decided to show off. About ten minutes before the party ended, I started trying moves I learned long ago when I dreamed of being an Olympic figure skater. I actually had never been good enough on the ice to get anywhere near the Olympics, but I loved skating and was pretty decent at one point. There I was at the party, spinning, twirling, and skating backward. Then I decided to bring my friend Heidi in on the fun, so I grabbed her hands and pulled her along with me as I skated backward. I was smart enough to be looking behind me to make sure I wouldnt bump into anyone, but I was not smart enough to pay attention to my balance, which I lost.I fell down onto the newly buffed rink floor. Before I knew what was happening, Heidi tripped and fell on top of me, and I heard a crack. I remember feeling the wind get knocked out of me, and then a rush of faces looking down asking if I was okay. My friend Kathleen, who was studying to be a nurse, asked questions to make sure I wasnt seriously injured, and another friend called an ambulance. Since I was not yet feeling any pain, the sheer embarrassment of the moment was my main focus.In the hospital I learned that I had broken a rib and fractured my collarbone. Kathleen had come with and assured me that I was lucky: it could have been much worse. Looking back, I have to laugh at the reaction we got from the hospital staff. Every time a new doctor or nurse walked into my room, we felt the need to explain our getups. The explanation was generally met with blank stares from people who had much more pressing concerns than what the girl in Room 3 was wearing.I went home with strict instructions to move as little as possible for the next few weeks. Lucky for me, I was on summer break so I didnt have to worry about school. Id been planning to stay in my off-campus apartment and work that summer. Instead, I took a leave of absence from my job, formed a stack of books Id been meaning to read for ages, and settled in for what would surely be some of the most boring weeks of my life. The next day, Heidi called and apologized profusely for falling on me. I thanked her but pointed out that it had been my fault that I ended up getting hurt.Even so, we all feel terrible that you ended up in the hospital at the end of a great party, Heidi said. Listen, I called a bunch of people who were there and asked if they wanted to volunteer for a meal drop-off schedule. I have your breakfast, lunch, and dinner covered for the next three weeks. I needed a moment to process what Heidi was telling me. Next to my stack of books was a stack of menus from which Id planned to order all of my food for the next few weeks. The thought of an all-fast food diet had made me a little nauseous, but I knew I wouldnt be able to cook. Now my friends were coming to my rescue.Starting the next morning, in addition to bringing amazing home-cooked meals, as well as some great take-out, my friends took turns visiting me so I didnt get lonely. Those weeks ended up flying by. Before I knew it I was up and about again.Eventually, my friends let me in on what a good laugh they had the night of the party once they knew I was going to be all right, of course. As soon as my rib and collarbone healed I had a pretty good laugh about it, too. I didnt mind that they had laughed. I decided that any group of friends willing to cook for me during summer break was allowed to laugh at me.Which excerpt from the story supports the conclusion that the narrator is humble? . . .
