3 times what gives me a sum of 24? im trying to finish my homework so please help.

Answers

Answer 1
It is not a sum, it is a product.

3 times x = 24   (write equation)
           3x = 24  (isolate x by dividing the coefficient, 3, on both sides)
           /3     /3
             x = 8    (this i your answer)

Therefore 3 times 8 gives you 24.
Answer 2
Hey there!

I believe instead of sum, it should be product. A product is a result of a multiplication problem, which is what we're doing when we do something "times" something else. 

You could solve this by simply dividing 24 by 3 to get 8. You could then check this by multiply 3 by 8 to get 24 again.

Hope this helped you out! :-)

Why do some merchants, particularly smaller businesses, set a minimum purchase of $10 for any credit card transaction, or simply refuse to take any sort of bank card from consumers?

Answers

Because accepting credit cards cost the business small transaction fees. These businesses already have a paper thin profit margin, meaning if you buy less than $10 and use credit card, their profit is little to non-existent.

which statement is always true about an isosceles triangle A.it has 1 right angle B.it has 2 congruent angles C.it has no sides that are congruent D.the sum of all 3 angles in 360 degrees

Answers

b is the correct answer for this question

It has 2 congruent angles, is always true about an isosceles triangle

What is Isosceles Triangle?

A triangle with two equal sides is said to be isosceles. Also equal are the two angles that face the two equal sides. In other terms, an isosceles triangle is a triangle with two sides that are the same length.

Angles of Isosceles Triangle:

Contrary to the equal sides, two of the isosceles triangle's three angles have equal measures. One of the angles is therefore not equal. Assume that if we are given the measure of an unequal angle, we can quickly determine the other two angles using the angle sum property.

Properties of Isosceles Triangle:

Since this triangle's two sides are equal, the base of the triangle is the side that is not equal.

The triangle's two equal sides' opposing angles are always equal.

The vertex (topmost point) of an isosceles triangle is where the altitude of the triangle is calculated.

The third angle of a right isosceles triangle is 90 degrees.

Hence, the answer (b) it has 2 congruent angles

a line that is perpendicular to the line, slope is opposite and reciprocal so slope = - 8/5

answer
slope = -8/5

Answer:

The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is  [tex]8y-5x=11[/tex] is [tex]m=-\frac{8}{5}[/tex]                      

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Equation [tex]8y-5x=11[/tex]

To find : What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is given?

Solution :

First we find the slope of the given line,

The general slope form of line is [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept.

Re-write the given equation into general form,

[tex]8y-5x=11[/tex]

Take 5x to another side,

[tex]8y=5x+11[/tex]

Divide both side by 8,

[tex]y=\frac{5}{8}x+\frac{11}{8}[/tex]

On comparing with general form,

The slope of the line is [tex]m=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

We know,

When two line are perpendicular one slope is negative reciprocal of another.

If the slope of line is [tex]m=\frac{5}{8}[/tex]

Then the slope of perpendicular line on this line is  [tex]m=-\frac{8}{5}[/tex]

Therefore, The slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is  [tex]8y-5x=11[/tex] is [tex]m=-\frac{8}{5}[/tex]

Antoine and Tess have a disagreement over how to compute a 15% gratuity on $46.00. Tess says, “It is easy to find 10% of 46 by moving the decimal point one place to the left to get $4.60. Do that twice. Then add the two amounts to get $4.60 + $4.60 = $9.20 for the 15% gratuity.”

Answers

Tess is correct about figuring 10% but he added 2 of them together which is like adding 10% +10% which is 20% not 15%.

 he should have taken 1/2 of the 4.60 for 5% since 5 is half of 10

 half of 4.60 = 2.30

then add that to the 4.60

4.60 +2.30 = 6.90 is 15%

Answers

In statistics, it is imperative to arrange your data entries from least to greatest. That would be the first step of our solution

3  6  7  9  10  12  13

Interquartile range is the difference of the last quartile to the first quartile. Divide your entire data set into four parts. Each division is called a quartile. Its numerical value is the average of its numbers. However, since our data set contains 7 numbers, which is odd, we write the median (middle value) twice. The quartiles are:

3  6 |  7  9 | 9  10 |  12  13

Q₁= (3+6)/2 = 4.5
Q₂ = (7+9)/2 = 8
Q₃ = (9+10)/2 = 9.5
Q₄ = (12+13)/2 = 12.5

The interquatile range is Q₄ - Q₁ = 12.5 - 4.5 = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

We can connect two points of a circle in many ways, as you can see in the picture below.

The longest straight line that you can draw to connect two points is the diameter, that is, the straight line that passes through the center of the circle.

If the circle has 9 inches of radius the diameter will be 9+9 = 18 inches.

John read the first 114 pages of a novel, which was 3 pages less than 1/3 of the novel. Write an equation to determine the total number of pages (p) in the novel. And find the total number of pages in the novel

Answers

114 + 3=117
117 pages is 1/3 of the book
117×3= 251
So there are 251 pages in the novel.

Answer:

351


Step-by-step explanation:

If we add 3 pages to 114, we get a number that is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] the total number of pages in the novel (p). Thus, we can write:

[tex]114+3=\frac{1}{3}p[/tex]


Solving for p gives us the total number of pages in the novel. So:

[tex]114+3=\frac{1}{3}p\\117=\frac{1}{3}p\\p=\frac{117}{\frac{1}{3}}\\p=117*3=351[/tex]

Thus, total number of pages in the novel is 351.

8 children and 32 adults
9 children and 31 adults
10 children and 30 adults
12 children and 28 adults

Answers

a+c=40

c=40-a

11c +20a=728

11(40-a)+20a=728

440-11a +20a=728

440+9a=728

9a = 288

a=288/9 = 32

32 adults

8 children

a + c = 40
20a + 11c = 728

Multiply equation # 1 by -11, then add the two equations together to clear the 'c' variable and solve for 'a'.

-11(a + c = 40)


20a + 11c = 728
-11a - 11c = -440
------------------------
9a  = 288
Divide both sides by 9
a = 32

a + c = 40
32 + c = 40
subtract 32 from both sides
c = 8

8 children and 32 adults; option 1

5. Suppose a railroad is 2 km long, and it expands on a hot day by 50 cm in length. Approximately how high would the center of the rail rise above the ground? (Hint: Convert all measurements to meters BEFORE calculating any values)

Answers

The original length of the railroad is
L₁ = 2 km = 2000 km

The extended length after expansion is
L₂ = L₁ + 50 cm 
    = 2000 + 0.5
    = 2000.5 m

Assume that the deflected shape is a circle with radius = r, as shown in the figure below.
The central angle of the deflected shape is 2θ.
The deflected length is calculated as
2rθ = L₂.
That is
rθ = 2000.5/2 = 1000.25 
r = 1000.25/θ                        (1)

By definition (from the figure)
sinθ = 1000/r                        (2)

Substitute (1) into (2).
sin θ = (1000 θ)/1000.25 = 0.99975 θ
To find θ, define the function
f(θ) = 0.99975 θ - sin θ
A graphical solution from the calculator yields
θ = 0.0038 rad.
Therefore from (1), obtain
r = 263223.7 m

The height of the center of the rail above ground is
h = r - r cos θ = r(1 - cos θ)
   = 263223.7(1 - cos(0.0038))
   = 1.9 m

Answer: 1.9 m

To find the height at which the center of a railroad rail would rise due to expansion, convert all measurements to meters and use the formula h ≈ ΔL / 8. For expansion of 50 cm, the rail would rise approximately 6.25 cm.

The student has asked how high the center of a 2 km long railroad rail would rise when it expands by 50 cm on a hot day. First, we need to convert all measurements to meters: the railroad is 2000 m long, and it expands by 0.50 m. To find the height that the rail would rise, we can consider the rail as forming an arc of a circle after expansion.
We have the original length of the rail as the diameter of the circle and the expanded length as a slightly longer arc of the same circle. As the increase in length due to expansion is very small compared to the original length, we can use the approximation that the height of the rise is equal to the arc's excess length divided by 8 (h ≈ ΔL / 8).

Applying this formula: h ≈ 0.50 m / 8 = 0.0625 m or 6.25 cm. This approximation works under the assumption that the bend in the rail is mild, as it would be in reality due to the small degree of expansion.

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the line whose equation is 7x−3y=107x−3y=10?

Answers

This is the concept of algebra, to get the slope of the line we need to rewrite the equation in slope intercept form y=mx+c, where m=slope, c=y-intercept.
Therefore re-writing our expression in slope-intercept form we get:
7x-3y=10
-3y=-7x+10
y=7/3x-10/3
The slope=7/3
hence we conclude that the slope of the line perpendicular to this is -3/7

Mr. Rifkin had 240 digital and manual cameras. After donating 82 digital cameras and 26 manual cameras, he had 3 times as many digital cameras as manual cameras left. How many digital cameras did he have first?

Answers

Mr. Rif-kin initially had 181 digital cameras.

Let's denote:

- [tex]\( x \)[/tex] as the initial number of digital cameras.

- [tex]\( y \)[/tex] as the initial number of manual cameras.

According to the given information:

1. Mr. Rif-kin had a total of 240 digital and manual cameras initially:

[tex]\[ x + y = 240 \][/tex]

2. After donating 82 digital cameras and 26 manual cameras, he had 3 times as many digital cameras as manual cameras left:

[tex]\[ (x - 82) = 3(y - 26) \][/tex]

We can set up a system of equations with these two equations and solve for [tex]\( x \)[/tex] and [tex]\( y \)[/tex].

1. From Equation 1:

[tex]\[ y = 240 - x \][/tex]

2. Substituting [tex]\( y \)[/tex] from Equation 1 into Equation 2:

[tex]$\begin{aligned} & x-82=3((240-x)-26) \\ & x-82=3(214-x) \\ & x-82=642-3 x \\ & 4 x=724 \\ & x=181\end{aligned}$[/tex]

Now that we have found [tex]\( x \)[/tex], we can find [tex]\( y \)[/tex] using Equation 1:

[tex]$\begin{aligned} & y=240-x \\ & y=240-181 \\ & y=59\end{aligned}$[/tex]

So, Mr. Rif-kin initially had [tex]\( 181 \)[/tex] digital cameras and [tex]\( 59 \)[/tex] manual cameras.

The complete question is here:

Mr. Rif-kin had 240 digital and manual cameras. After donating 82 digital cameras and 26 manual cameras, he had 3 times as many digital cameras as manual cameras left. How many digital cameras did he have at first?

The average annual salary of the employees of a company in the year 2005 was $80,000. It increased by the same factor each year and in 2006, the average annual salary was $88,000. Let f(x) represent the average annual salary, in thousand dollars, after x years since 2005. Which of the following best represents the relationship between x and f(x)?

f(x) = 88(0.88)x
f(x) = 88(1.1)x
f(x) = 80(0.88)x
f(x) = 80(1.1)x

Answers

the answer is f(x)=80(1.1)x

Answer: [tex]f(x) = 80 ( 1.1 ) ^x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the function that shows the average annual salary after x years since 2005 is,

[tex]f(x) = ab^x[/tex] ----- (1)

Where a and b are any unknown numbers.

For x = 0,

[tex]f(0) = ab^0= a[/tex]

But According to the question,

The average annual salary of the employees of a company in the year 2005 was $80,000.

Therefore, f(0)=80000 dollars.

⇒ a = 80000

From equation (1),

[tex]f(x) = 80000 b^x[/tex]  ------- (2)

Now again according to the question,

In 2006, the average annual salary was $88,000

But the average annual salary in 2006 is [tex]f(1) = 80000 b^1[/tex]

⇒ [tex] 80000 b^1=88000[/tex]

⇒ b = 1.1

Putting the value of b in equation (2),

The average annual salary after x years since 2005 is,

[tex]f(x) = 80000 (1.1)^x[/tex] dollars

Or  [tex]f(x) = 80 (1.1)^x[/tex] thousand dollars

Thus, Fourth Option is correct.
