I think you just need to draw a number line starting at one OR zero that goes up and explain why
For
the first question; we have a problem dealing with translations.
Our goal is to translate
the word problem into an algebraic one. So our numbers are
60, 2, and 5. Our variable, or the letter holding the unknown
number's place
value, is
N. <span>
</span>The
problem states that 60 is MORE THAN the PRODUCT of 5 and N. Focus
on the words I bolded and capitalized. These are your key words that
tells you what operations
you need to use. Note that 'product' signals the operation of
multiplication (Since the answer you get from multiplying numbers is
called the 'product'.) and
'more than' signals the operation of addition (Because you are left
off with more than you originally had before adding). <span>
</span>Now
that we know that our algebraic expression contains multiplication,
addition, letter N and the numbers 2 and 5; we can start plugging the
numbers in.<span>
</span>60
= 2 (more than) + (product of) 5N. The answer for the first
attachment is
B. <span>
</span>_____________________________________________________________<span>
</span>All
we need to do for the AB problem (Question 25 on your material) is
solve AB.<span>
</span>Note
1: When a problem has no operation separating two letters or numbers,
this means multiplication.<span>
</span>Note
2: A and B are variables. Variables are letters that stand for and
hold the place of our unknown quantities. However, the values are not
unknown anymore given the fact that the question tells us that A= 42
and B = 2. Thus we substitute A with 42 and B with 2, then work from
there. 42 * 2 =84. Answer = A.
____________________________________________________________________
And
finally, for question 26, we use PEMDAS. P = parenthesis (), E =
exponent x^2, M/D = x or /, A/S means + or subtraction.
According
to PEMDAS, we first solve what's parenthesis, which is 77 – 32.
Using mental math, 77 – 32 = 45. ( 7 – 3 = 4 and 7 – 2 = 5.). 5/9
* 45 is what we have left. 5 divided by 9 =0.5555555555555556.
0.5555555555555556 * 45 = 25. Answer is D.
The answer is C: the missing number is 25
Answer:
A
Step-by-step explanation:
edge2021
-- They're losing employees . . . so you know that the line will slope down, and
its slope is negative;
-- They're losing employees at a steady rate . . . so you know that the slope is
the same everywhere on the line; this tells you that the graph is a straight line.
I can see the function right now, but I'll show you how to go through the steps to
find the function. I need to point out that these are steps that you've gone through
many times, but now that the subject pops up in a real-world situation, suddenly
you're running around in circles with your hair on fire screaming "What do I do ?
Somebody give me the answer !".
Just take a look at what has already been handed to you:
0 months . . . 65 employees
1 month . . . . 62 employees
2 months . . . 59 employees
You know three points on the line !
(0, 65) , (1, 62) , and (2, 59) .
For the first point, 'x' happens to be zero, so immediately
you have your y-intercept ! ' b ' = 65 .
You can use any two of the points to find the slope of the line.
You will calculate that the slope is negative-3 . . . which you
might have realized as you read the story, looked at the numbers,
and saw that they are <u>firing 3 employees per month</u>.
("Losing" them doesn't quite capture the true spirit of what is happening.)
So your function ... call it ' W(n) ' . . . Workforce after 'n' months . . .
is <em>W(n) = 65 - 3n</em> .
