Answer:

Julio's number is 31

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's assume Julio's number is x

If we subtract 14 from x, we'd have

x - 14

We multiply the difference by -7, we'll have

-7(x - 14) = -7x + 98

Note that multiply 2 negative signs gives a positive sign, that is,

- x - = +

-7 x -14 = 98

When we multiply the difference by -7, the result is -119

-7x + 98 = -119

To collect like terms, we subtract 98 from both sides of the equation

-7x + 98 - 98 = -119 - 98

-7x = -217

We then divide both sides by -7, that is the coefficient of x

-7x/-7 = -217/-7

x = 31.

Therefore, Julio's number is 31

Compare the area of the bases. If a base has a greater area, it will take up more space on the shelf. Base area of Box 1: 3x2 Ba

vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Box 2

Step-by-step explanation:

A graph shows that 3x^2 > (4x^2 -x) only between x=0 and x=1. Thus, Box 2 has a larger base area for all other values of x.

Box 2 is likely to take up more space if x is unlikely to be between 0 and 1.

Geoffrey is evaluating the expression StartFraction (negative 3) cubed (2 Superscript 6 Baseline) Over (Negative 3) Superscript

makkiz [27]

The mathematical expression does not seem clear but I have made an attempt to make sense of what is implied.

Answer:

a = 4, b = 2, c = 16, d = 9

Step-by-step explanation:

$\dfrac{(-3)^3(2^6)}{(-3)^5(2^2)} = \dfrac{(2)^a}{(-3)^b} = \dfrac{c}{d}$

Solving the first part of the question by indices,

$\dfrac{(-3)^3(2^6)}{(-3)^5(2^2)} = (-3)^{3-5}(2)^{6-2} = (-3)^{-2}(2)^{4} = \dfrac{(2)^4}{(-3)^2}$

Comparing the rightmost term with the second term in the question,

a = 4, b = 2

Solving on,

$\dfrac{(2)^4}{(-3)^2} = \dfrac{(2)\times(2)\times(2)\times(2)}{(-3)\times(-3)} = \dfrac{16}{9}$

Comparing with the final term in the question,

c = 16 and d = 9

Therefore,

a = 4, b = 2, c = 16, d = 9

Which triangle defined by three points on the coordinate plane is congruent with the triangle illustrated, and why?

HACTEHA [7]

The triangle defined by three points on the coordinate plane is congruent with the triangle illustrated:

C) (4,2); (8,2); (4,8) because the corresponding pairs of sides and corresponding pairs of angles are congruent.

If we plot these points we can observe that they are congruent, we should also solve for the distance of each point between each other to conclude their congruency.

Initially, there were only 197 weeds at a park. The weeds grew at a rate of 25% each week. The following function represents the

Anarel [89]

Answer:

D.) f(x) = 197(1.03)^(7x); grows at a rate of approximately 3% daily

Step-by-step explanation:

The growth equation can be written in terms of a rate compounded 7 times per week:

f(x) = 197×1.25^x = 197×(1.25^(1/7))^(7x)

f(x) ≈ 197×1.0324^(7x) . . . . x represents weeks, a daily growth factor is shown

The daily growth rate as a percentage is the difference between the daily growth factor and 1, expressed as a percentage:

(1.0324 -1) × 100% = 3.24%

The best match is choice D:

f(x) ≈ 197(1.03^(7x)); grows approximately 3% daily
