when 18 is subtracted from six times a certain number,the result is -42. what is the number?

Answers

Answer 1
Let x be the number.

Then; 

6x-18=-42 (solve for x now) 
6x=-42+18 
6x=-24 
x=-4 

Therefore, this number would be -4. 

Hope I helped :) 
Answer 2
To start off, you want to create an equation. 18 subtracted six times from a certain number (let's use a variable 'x') would look like: 6x - 18.
6x - 18 = -42

Next, isolate the variable by adding 18 to both sides.
6x - 18 = -42
    + 18   + 18
       6x = -24

Lastly, solve for x.
6x/6 = -24/6
x = -4

Find 3 consecutive odd integers such that the sum of 7 times the smallest and twice the largest is -91?

Answers

suppose the smallest odd integer is n, the next one is then n+2, and the third one is n+4
7n+2(n+4)=-91
7n+2n+8=-91
9n=-99
n=-11
so the three odd integers are -11,-9,-7

Answer: -11, -9, -7

the smallest:   2x+1 = -11

Step-by-step explanation:

{z - some integer}

2z+1  - the smallest number

7(2z+1)  - seven times the smallest number

2z+1+2=2z+3  - the middle number

2z+3+2 = 2z+5 - the largest number

2(2z+5) - twice the largest number

7(2z+1) + 2(2z+5)  - the sum of 7 times the smallest and twice the largest

7(2z+1) + 2(2z+5)   = -91

14z + 7 + 4z + 10 = -91

             -17              -17

     18z   = -108

      ÷18        ÷18

       z = -6

2z+1 = 2(-6)+1 = -12 + 1 = -11

What is the maximum length of the base of the rectangle he can build? An image of a compound shape made up of a rectangle and a triangle is shown. The length of the rectangle is labeled x and the width is labeled 6 feet. The base of the triangle is labeled 4 feet and the height is labeled 6 feet.
x = __________________ ft
Numerical Answers Expected! Answer for Blank 1:

Answers

If we're looking for the area of the compound shape then,

Area of rectangle is : length × width
Area of triangle : 1/2 × base × height

So...

6x + (1/2 × 4 × 6) = 150
6x + 12 = 150
6x = 138
x = 23

The maximum length of the base of the rectangle he can build is 23 feet.

math help Brainliest will be given I solved RS wrong how do I do it I got 112

Answers

R is between S and T, so this implies that R is on line ST and we can say

SR+RT = ST

plug in the given expressions to get

(-2x+24)+(4x+10) = 4x+12

Now solve for x

(-2x+24)+(4x+10) = 4x+12
-2x+24+4x+10 = 4x+12
2x+34 = 4x+12
2x+34-2x = 4x+12-2x
34 = 2x+12
34-12 = 2x+12-12
22 = 2x
2x = 22
2x/2 = 22/2
x = 11

If x = 11, then RS is,
RS = -2*x+24
RS = -2*11+24
RS = -22+24
RS = 2

-------------------------------------
-------------------------------------

Answers:
x = 11 and RS = 2

RS and RT are both segments on the same line. Therefore their equation can be added together and set equal to the equation that is given representing the entire length of segment ST.:


4x+10+ -2x+24=4x+12


Now that you have created one larger equation to solve for x you can now go ahead and combine like terms, (all the x's with the x's and the regular numbers with the regular numbers)


2x+34=4x+12


Now you must move the variables and constants to the opposite sides of the equation. This is called isolating the variable:


2x= 22

Now you can solve for x by dividing by 2 and your answer is x = 11


Now that you have solved for the value of x you can take that value and plug it into the equation that is given for the length of segment RS.


-2X+24 NOW BECOMESSS......

-2(11)+24= -22+24= 2


The length of segment RS is 2

The length of segment RT is 54

The total length of segment ST is 56

To solve this type of questions, a practical way is to think of the 1.quadrant situation, that is, model the situation in right triangle trigonometry.

Check the picture.

For the moment let [tex]\displaystyle{ \cos\theta= \frac{8}{17} [/tex] (we make it positive since we are modeling using a triangle.)

Using the Pythagorean theorem, the length of the side opposite to angle [tex]\theta[/tex] is found to be 15 units.

We can see that the sine of theta is [tex]\displaystyle{ \sin\theta= \frac{opposite \ side}{hypotenuse}= \frac{15}{17} [/tex].

In the third quadrant, both sine and cosine of an angle are negative, so the actual values of the sine and cosine of theta are, eventually:

[tex]\displaystyle{ \sin\theta=- \frac{15}{17} [/tex], [tex]\displaystyle{ \cos\theta=- \frac{8}{17} [/tex].

Recall the double-angle identities (formulas):

[tex]\sin 2\theta=2\sin\theta\cos\theta[/tex], [tex]\cos2\theta=cos^2(\theta)-sin^2(\theta)[/tex].

Using these identities and the ratios found above, we have:

[tex]\displaystyle{ \cos2\theta=cos^2(\theta)-sin^2(\theta)=(- \frac{8}{17})^2-(- \frac{15}{17})^2=\frac{64}{289}-\frac{225}{289}=\frac{-161}{289}[/tex]

Similarly, applying the double angle formula for the sine we have:

[tex]\displaystyle{ \sin 2\theta=2\sin\theta\cos\theta=2\cdot(- \frac{8}{17})(- \frac{15}{17})=\frac{240}{289}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle{ \tan2\theta= \frac{\sin 2\theta}{\cos 2\theta}= \frac{\frac{240}{289}}{\frac{-161}{289}}= -\frac{240}{161} [/tex]

An office supply store sells 128 pens in each bag. A business bought 9 bags of pens one month and 7 bags of pens the next month. How many pens total did the business buy?

A. 2,304 pens
B. 2,048 pens
C. 6,712 pens
D. 7,764 pens

Answers

The Business bought a total of 2048 pens.

Easiest way to solve this is to add the amount of bags the business bought.

7 + 9 = 16

After you find to total amount of bags bought you multiply the amount of pens in each bag by the total amount of bags the business bought.

16 * 128 = 2048


Final answer:

The business bought a total of 2,048 pens over two months. In the first month, they purchased 1,152 pens, and in the second month, they purchased 896 pens.

Explanation:

The problem involves simple multiplication and addition operations. First, we need to find out how many pens the business bought in total for each month. In the first month, the business bought 9 bags of pens, and each bag contains 128 pens. So, we multiply 9 (number of bags) by 128 (number of pens per bag) to get 1,152 pens for the first month.

For the second month, the business bought 7 bags of pens. Again, we multiply 7 (number of bags) by 128 (number of pens per bag) to get 896 pens.

Finally, we add together the totals for the two months: 1,152 pens (for the first month) plus 896 pens (for the second month) gives us a total of 2,048 pens bought by the business over the two months. So, the correct answer is B. 2,048 pens.

a. How long is the hallway?
b. Can this same hallway be painted with the same pattern, but using twice as much black paint as white paint? Explain.

Answers

we know that

The hallway is painted using equal amounts of white and black paint

so

To know the amount of white paint------> calculate the area of white paint

[tex]A=5x*6=30x\ ft^{2}[/tex]

To know the amount of black paint------> calculate the area of black paint

[tex]A=(x+1)*4*6=(24+24x)\ ft^{2}[/tex]

equate the areas

[tex]30x=(24+24x)\\30x-24x=24\\6x=24\\x=4\ ft[/tex]

Find the length of the hallway

[tex]5x+(4x+4)=9x+4=9*4+4=40\ ft[/tex]

therefore

the answer part a) is

The hallway is [tex]40\ ft[/tex] long

Part b) Can this same hallway be painted with the same pattern, but using twice as much black paint as white paint?

we know that

the amount of white paint is [tex]30x\ ft^{2}[/tex]

if the black paint is twice that the white paint

then

amount of black paint is [tex]2*30x=60x\ ft^{2}[/tex]

amount of black paint with the same pattern is [tex](24+24x)\ ft^{2}[/tex]

equate

(24+24x)\ ft^{2}=(60x)\ ft^{2}

solve for the new value of x

[tex]24x+24=60x\\ 60x-24x=24\\ x=24/36\\x= 2/3\ ft[/tex]

Find the new length of the hallway

[tex]5x+(4x+4)=9x+4=9*(2/3)+4=10\ ft[/tex]
