The number you are in search of is -52.

To find this, we first have to write the equation that goes along with the sentence. For this, we need to take it one term at a time.

Negative sixteen (-16) plus (+) the quotient of a number and -4 (x/-4) is (=) -3.

Now put the parenthesis together

-16 + x/-4 = -3

Now we can solve this for x.

-16 + x/-4 = 3 ---> add 16 to both sides

x/-4 = 13 ----> multiply both sides by -4

x = -52

dolphi86 [110]

P = 60
l = w + 14

60 = 2(w+14) + 2w
60 = 2w + 28 + 2w
60 = 4w + 28
32 = 4w
width = 8 inches

On sunday 1/16 people who visit were senior citizens, 3/16 were infants, 3/8 were children and 3/8 were adults, how many of each

mamaluj [8]

Answer:

Out of total people visited the zoo on Sunday , 6.25% was senior citizen , 18.75% were infants , 35% were children and 35% were adult.

Step-by-step explanation:

let total number of people visited the group = x

so number of senior citizens = x × 1/16 = x/16

Percentage of senior citizens = (number of senior citizens ÷ total number of people visited the group) × 100

= (x/16 ÷ x) × 100 = 100/16 = 6.25%

number of infants = 3/16 × x = 3x/16

Percentage of infants =(number of infants ÷ total number of people visited the group) × 100 = (3x/16 ÷ x) × 100 = 300/16 = 18.75%

number of children = 3/8 × x = 3x/8

Percentage of children =(number of children ÷ total number of people visited the group) × 100 = (3x/8 ÷ x) × 100 = 300/8 = 37.5%

number of adults = 3/8 × x = 3x/8

Percentage of adults =(number of adults ÷ total number of people visited the group) × 100 = (3x/8 ÷ x) × 100 = 300/8 = 37.5%.

Hence we can conclude that Out of total people visited the zoo on Sunday , 6.25% was senior citizen , 18.75% were infants , 35% were children and 35% were adult.

Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points are (8, 5) and

nevsk [136]

Step-by-step explanation:

Points are (8,5) and (-12,-9)

The equation of a line passing through two points is given by :

$y-y_1=m(x-x_1)\ \text{m is slope}\\\\y-5=\dfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-8)\\\\y-5=\dfrac{-9-5}{-12-8}\times (x-8)\\\\y-5=\dfrac{7}{10}\times (x-8)\\\\10y-50=7x-56$

$-50+56=7x-10y\\\\7x-10y=6$

But he writes the equation 7x – 10y = 3 which is not matching with the one we have calculated. It means that model calculated by Devon is not good.
