Let the number = x

Set up the equation:

3(x-14) = 3

Simplify:

3x -42 = 3

Add 42 to both sides

3x = 45

Divide both sides by3

X = 15

The number is 15

Answer:

15.

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x - 14) = 3

3x - 42 = 3

3x = 42 + 3 = 45

x = 15.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer: 15.7 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the time in the beginning (in minutes).

Given: The track team is trying to reduce their time for a relay race.

First they reduce their time by $t_1=$ 2.1 minutes.

Then they are able to reduce that time by $t_2=$ 10

If their final time is 3.96 minutes, then

$x-t_1-t_2=3.6\\\Rightarrow\ x=3.6+t_1+t_2\\\Rightarrow\ x=3.6+2.1+10\\\Rightarrow\ x= 15.7$

Hence, their beginning time was 15.7 minutes.

a regular heptagon has a radius of approximately 27.87cm and the lengthof each side is 24.18cm. what is the approximate area of

Andre45 [30]

The Answer is B: 2,125 cm²

n = 7
a = 24.18 cm
r = 25.1051 cm
R = 27.8646 cm
A = 2124.65 cm²
P = 169.26 cm
x = 128.571 °
y = 51.4286 °

Agenda:
r = inradius (apothem)
R = circumradius
a = side length
n = number of sides
x = interior angle
y = exterior angle
A = area
P = perimeter
π = pi = 3.14159...

Andre ran 2 kilometers in 15 minutes, and Jada ran 3 kilometers in 20 minutes. Both ran at a constant speed. Did they run at the

Goshia [24]

Answer:

speed of Jada = 6km per hour which is not equal to

speed of Andre = 8km per hour

They did not run at same speed

Step-by-step explanation:

formula of speed = distance covered/ time taken

For Andre

Distance = 2 KM

time = 15 mins

60 mins = 1 hour

15 mins = 1/60 * 15 hour = 0.25 hours

thus,

speed = 2km/0.25 hour = 8 km per hour

Similarly for Jada

Distance = 3 KM

time = 20 mins

60 mins = 1 hour

20 mins = 1/60 * 20 hour = 1/3 hours

thus,

speed = 2km/(1/3)hour = 6 km per hour

Now we have

speed of Jada = 6km per hour which is not equal to

speed of Andre = 8km per hour

The point R is halfway between the integers on the number line below and represents the number ____. (Use the hyphen for negativ

wariber [46]

Answer: - 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the attached number line has reference, the distance between each integer on the number line attached is 1, and the numbers are ordered in ascending order from - 10 to + 10. The point R exists in between the point marked - 2 and - 3 respectively. This shows that that point R is a number between the two integers, a number greater than - 3 but less than - 2.

From the picture attached the blue dot sits directly at the midpoint between - 3 and - 2. Hence the position can be a obtained by averaging the two integers.

(-3 + - 2) / 2 = - 5/2 = - 2.5
