Answer:

One solution x = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the equation:

\dfrac{1}{2}(x+12)=4x-1

Multiply this equation by 2:

2\cdot \dfrac{1}{2}(x+12)=2\cdot (4x-1)\\ \\x+12=2(4x-1)

Use distributive property:

x+12=8x-2

Combine the like terms:

x+12=8x-2\\ \\x+12-12=8x-2-12\\ \\x=8x-14\\ \\x-8x=8x-14-8x\\ \\-7x=-14\\ \\7x=14\\ \\x=2

Thus, this equation has one solution x = 2

Y is inversely proportional to x.<br> Complete the table.<br> х<br> 15<br> 6<br> у<br> 5<br> 10
AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

When x = 15, y= 2

When y= 10, x= 3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is a question in inverse proportion. In this proportion, an increase in one quantity would lead to a decrease in the other and vice versa.

We are to complete the table using the relationship between x and y.

Given:

y is inversely proportional to x = y ∝ 1/x

∝ = proportional to

y ∝ 1/x

y = k × 1/x

Where k = constant of proportionality

To understand the relationship between y and x, we need to find the value of k.

y = k × 1/x

From the table,

When x = 6, y = 5

5 = k × 1/6

5 = k/6

k = 6×5 = 30

y = 30 × 1/x

y = 30/x

The above relationship would enable us find the missing parts.

When x = 15, y= ?

y = 30/15

y = 2

When y= 10, x= ?

10 = 30/x

10x = 30

x = 30/10

x= 3

a barangay has 1000 individuals and its population doubles every 60 years. Give an exponential model for the barangay's populati
sdas [7]

Answer:

P(t) = 1000e^(0.01155)t

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the population of barangay be expressed according to the exponential formula;

P(t) = P0e^kt

P(t) is the population of the country after t years

P0 is the initial population

t is the time

If barangay has 1000 initially, this means that P0 = 1000

If the population doubles after 60years then;

at t = 60, P(t) = 2P0

Substitute into the formula

2P0 = P0e^k(60)

2 = e^60k

Apply ln to both sides

ln2 = lne^60k

ln2 = 60k

k = ln2/60

k = 0.01155

Substitute k = 0.01155 and P0 into the expression

P(t) = 1000e^(0.01155)t

Hence an exponential model for barangay's population is

P(t) = 1000e^(0.01155)t

Ed is 7 years older than Ted. Ed’s age is also 3/4 times Ted’s age. How old are Ed and Ted?
svetlana [45]
Let Ted be x.

Ed is 7 years older =  x  + 7

Ed = (3/4)Ted

(x + 7) = (3/4)x

x + 7 = 3x/4

x - 3x/4 = -7

x/4 = -7

x = -28,           Ted = -28 years.

(x + 7) = -28 + 7 = -21,      Ed = -21 years

Goodness. We had negative numbers for the ages, well does that make sense?  No it doesn't.

Our answer is correct. But the sense in the question is lacking. The question has been wrongly set.

<span>We might assume negative ages to mean before they came into the world, before birth! </span>

A political polling agency wants to take a random sample of registered voters and ask whether or not they will vote for a certai
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

C. Different sample proportions would result each time, but for either sample size, they would be centered (have their mean) at the true population proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information;

A political polling agency wants to take a random sample of registered voters and ask whether or not they will vote for a certain candidate.

A random sample is usually an outcome of any experiment that cannot be predicted before the result.

SO;

One plan is to select 400 voters, another plan is to select 1,600 voters

If the study were conducted repeatedly (selecting different samples of people each time);

Different sample proportions would result each time, but for either sample size, they would be centered (have their mean) at the true population proportion.  This is because a sample proportion deals with random experiments that cannot be predicted in advance and they  are  quite known to be centered about the population proportion.
