"The difference of six and twice a
number is five."

Answers

Answer 1
Let that number be x.
6-2x=5
2x=1
x=1/2
Answer 2

Answer:

x = 1/2

Step-by-step explanation:

twice a number = 2x

difference means subtract 2x - 6 = 5

2x - 6 = 5                     Add 6 to both sides.

2x + 6 - 6 = 5 + 6        Combine

2x = 11                          Divide by 2

2x/2 = 11/2                

x = 5.5

Is the answer different if it is done the other way around for the difference?

6 - 2x = 5                    Subtract 6 from both sides

-2x = 5-6                     Combine

-2x = - 1                       Divide by -2

-2x/-2 = -1/-2              

x = 1/2

Yes they are different. Following the way the question is written, I would choose the second method.

Describe how to compare the two ratios 5:8 to 7:9. Tell each step to set up the ratios, then explain what to do to be able to compare the ratios. Finally make sure to answer how the ratios compare.

Answers

Answer:

5/8 is smaller.

Step-by-step explanation:

A ratio is just a different type of fraction, a 5:8 ratio means 5/8 which is 0.625. A 7:9 ratio equals 7/9 which is 0.777777

Then to compare them you see which is smaller or bigger.

0.77777  is bigger than 0.625 so we know that 0.77777777 which was the 7:9 ratio is the bigger one.

Answers

Answer:

Area of the rectangle = 20 square units

Area of left triangle = 8 square units

Area of right triangle = 6 square units

Area of whole figure = 34 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, area of a rectangle is Base · Height. The base of the rectangle is 5 units and the height is 4 units. 5 · 4 = 20 square units.

Area of a triangle is (Base · Height)/2. The triangle on the left is 4 units tall and 4 units wide. 4 · 4 ÷ 2 = 8 square units.

The triangle on the right is 4 units tall and 3 units wide. 4 · 3 ÷ 2 = 6 square units.

To get the area of the whole figure, you can just add the area of all three shapes. 20 + 8 + 6 = 34 square units.

Hope this helps! :)

Answer:

Rectangle's area;

Length: 4

Width: 5

Formula for area of rectangle;

A = L*W

Replace values:-

A = 4(5)

A = 20.

Left triangle's area;

Base = 4

Height: 4

Formula for area of triangle;

A = BH x 1/2

Replace values:-

A = 4(4) x 1/2

A = 16 x 1/2

A = 16/2

A = 8.

Right triangle's area;

Base = 3

Height: 4

Formula for area of triangle:

A = BH x 1/2

Replace values:-

A = 3(4) x 1/2

A = 12 x 1/2

A = 12/2

A = 6.

Add all the areas we've found so far to get the figure's total area:

20 + 8 + 6

= 34.

Deandre Willis is single and owns a hair salon. He has calculated the following assets and liabilities. Find DeAndre‘s net worth.

ASSETS
- current value of the hair salon: $180,000
- current value of car: $12,500
- checking account balance: $1,300
- combined savings: $18,000
- balance in retirement account: $30,000
- current value of owned electronics: $20,000

LIABILITIES
- remaining balance on mortgage: $120,000
- remaining balance on personal loan: $4,600
- combined credit card debt: $23,000

Answers

Given the value of DeAndre‘s assets and liabilities, his net worth is $114,200.

What is the net worth?

Net worth is the value of the assets less the liabilities.

Net worth = assets - liabilities

Assets = $180,000 + $12,500 +  $1,300 + $18,000 + $30,000 + $20,000= $261,800

Liabilities = $120,000 + $4,600 + $23,000 = $147,600

Net worth = $261,800 -  $147,600 = $114,200

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

You can use a simple equation for this:

c=chickens, r=roosters

c=10+2r, as "chickens is TEN MORE than TWICE the number of roosters,"

we can then do;

10+2r+r (the original number of roosters)=31

3r=21

r=7

A scientist notes the bacteria count in a petrie dish is 40. Three hours later, she notes the count has increased to 75. Using an exponential model, how many hours will it take for the bacteria count to grow from 75 to 120? Express the answer to the nearest tenth of an hour. Hint: You are NOT looking for the total time to reach 120. You are looking for the elapsed time from 75 to 120.

Answers

The number of hours it would take for the bacteria count to grow from 75 to 120 is 2 hours.

How many hours would it for the bacteria count to grow from 75 to 120?

The first step is to determine the rate of increase of the bacteria. The formula that can be used is:

g = (FV / PV)^(1/n) - 1

Where:

FV = 75PV = 40 n = 3 hours

(75/40)^(1/3) - 1 = 23.3%

The formula that can be used to determine the number of hours it would take for the population to grow from 75 to 120 is:

Number of hours =  (IN FV / PV) / r

(IN 120/75) / 0.233 = 2 hours
