A an election, a total of 240 votes were cast for four candidates. The winner won by a margin of 8, 13, and 15 votes over the other three candidates. What was the lowest number of votes received by a candidate?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 54

Step-by-step explanation:

Total votes: 240

Votes for the winner: x

Votes for candidate 1: x - 8

Votes for candidate 2: x - 13

Votes for candidate 3: x - 15

Equation to find the amount of votes of the winner (x) is:

240 = x +  x - 8 + x - 13 + x - 15

Combine x and x to get 2x.

240=2x−8+x−13+x−15

Combine 2x and x to get 3x.

240=3x−8−13+x−15

Subtract 13 from −8 to get −21.

240=3x−21+x−15

Combine 3x and x to get 4x.

240=4x−21−15

Subtract 15 from −21 to get −36.

240=4x−36

Swap sides so that all variable terms are on the left hand side.

4x−36=240

Add 36 to both sides.

4x=240+36

Add 240 and 36 to get 276.

4x=276

Divide both sides by 4.

x= 4/276  

Divide 276 by 4 to get 69.

x=69

Votes for the winner: 69

Votes for candidate 1: 69 - 8 = 61

Votes for candidate 2: 69 - 13 = 56

Votes for candidate 3: 69 - 15 = 54

The candidate that had the lowest number of votes received 54 votes.

Answer:

[tex]6^4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

All you have to do for this is follow PEMDAS (Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, Substraction) Which is the order of operations.

First you do parenthesis, [tex](2^2)^2[/tex], when you have a positive exponent outside a parenthesis like this, you add them together, and in this case, you get, [tex](2^2)^2=2^4=16[/tex]

After that, you do the rest of the exponents as well as multiplication, [tex]3^4=81[/tex].

Now we plug in the 81 from our last step along with the 16 from the first step and multiply them together. [tex]3^4*(2^2)^2=81*16=1296[/tex]

Then you just simply need to find which of the answers come out to be the result we got which is 1296. Out of these 4 possible answers, [tex]6^4[/tex] ends up being equal to 1296 which means that is the correct answer.

Answer:

6^4 is equivalent to 3^4 x (2^2)^2

Step-by-step explanation:

3^4 x (2^2)^2                  6^8 = 1679616

  3^4 x (4)^2                    6^4 = 1296

     81 x 16                       5^4 = 625

         1296                       5^8 = 390625

what is the solution of in(x-2)^2=6

Answers

Answer:

22.09

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression ln(x-2)^2=6

Take exponent of both sides

e^ln(x-2)^2=e^6

(x-2)² = e^6

(x-2)² = 403.43

x - 2 = √403.43

x - 2= 20.09

x = 20.09 + 2

x = 22.09

Hence the value of x is 22.09

You raise pigs. When you purchase the pig it weighs 54 pounds. Within 5 to 6 months your pig will gain around 420% in weight. How much should it weigh by then?

Answers

Answer:

280.8 pounds

Step-by-step explanation:

Original weight of pig = 54 pounds

Percentage increase in weight = 420%

Current weight of pig = original weight + 420% of original weight

= 54 + 420% of 54

= 54 + 420/100 * 54

= 54 + 4.2 * 54

= 54 + 226.8

= 280.8 pounds

Current weight of pig = 280.8 pounds

FIND THE AREA OF THE SHADED REGION​

Answers

Answer:

A =28 pi cm^2

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the area of the larger circle

A = pi r^2

A = pi (8)^2

A = 64 pi

Find the area of the smaller circle

A = pi r^2

A = pi 6^2

A = 36 pi

The shaded area is the larger circle minus the smaller circle

A shaded = 64 pi - 36 pi

A =28 pi cm^2

28 pi is the correct answer. Subtract the larger area which is 64 pi by the smaller which is 36 pi and you get 28 pi

Write an equation that represents the line

Answers

Answer:

y = -2x - 3

Step-by-step explanation:

A standard equation written in slope-intercept form looks like this:

y = mx + b

m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

First let's identify the y-intercept.

This is the point where the line crosses the y-axis. That point is (0, -3); therefore, our y-intercept is -3.

y = mx - 3

Now let's find the slope.

This is the rate of change of the line. It is represented by rise over run. "Over" means the number will be presented as a fraction.

We can see that from Point 2 (on the right), we rise 2 units to the level of Point 1 (on the left). This is expressed as 2.

To get directly to Point 1, we run backwards 1 unit. This is expressed as -1.

rise: 2

run: -1

rise/run = 2/-1 = -2

-2 is our slope.

y = -2x - 3

This is your equation.

Hope this helps!

Answer:  [-1.8, 3]

Don't forget the square brackets.

=============================================

Work Shown:

[tex]|5x-3| \le 12\\\\-12 \le 5x-3 \le 12\\\\-12+3 \le 5x-3+3 \le 12+3 \ \text{ ... see note 1}\\\\-9 \le 5x \le 15\\\\-9\div 5 \le 5x\div 5 \le 15\div 5 \ \text{ ... see note 2}\\\\-1.8 \le x \le 3\\\\[/tex]

note 1: I added 3 to all sides to undo the "-3" in the middle.

note 2: I divided all sides by 5 to go from 5x to x (ie it undoes the multiplication on x).

--------------------

From there, we convert from compound inequality notation to interval notation.

Something in the form [tex]a \le x \le b[/tex] converts to the interval notation [a,b]

The square brackets say to include the endpoint.

So [tex]-1.8 \le x \le 3[/tex] converts to the final answer of [-1.8, 3]

x is any real number between -1.8 and 3, including both endpoints.

----------------------

It appears you had the right idea. You just needed to convert -9/5 to -1.8, and you also needed to surround everything with square brackets.

If your teacher wanted the answer in fraction form, then you would say [-9/5, 3]

Answers

Answer:

angle B is 33 degree

Step-by-step explanation:

let angle A be x and angle D also be x.(because the base angles of ann isosceles triangles are equal)

x+x+48=180 degree(sum of interior angles of a triangle)

2x=180-48

x=132/2

x=66

therefore angle A and Angle D is 66 degree

angle A + angle C=exterior angle D (sum of two interior opposite angles are equal to the exterior angle formed)

66+48=exterior angle D

114 = exterior angle D

In triangle DCB

let angle C be y and Angle B also be y(bases angles of an isosceles triangle are equal)

y+y+114=180 degree(sum of interior angles of a triangle )

2y=180-114

y=66/3=2

y=33 degree

therefore angle B is 33 degree

1=27 2= -1

Step-by-step explanation:

if three watermelons equal 60 divide that by 3 to get 20. 30 minus 20 will get you what the strawberries together make so divide by two to get 5. After subtract 5 from 3 to get -2 and since you did it in reverse think of it as a positive. So that equals 1. 20 + 1 + 7 is 27. For number two start at the bottom with the clovers since its only clovers.divide 12 by 3 to get 4. Then go up to the second equation 31-16 is 15. After divide by 3 and get 5. Then go to the next equation and do the same thing, add the sunflowers and then subtract the sum from both sides. 40 - 10 is 30. 30 divided by 3 is ten. After go to the last one. 5 - 10 + 4 is -1.

since all sides are the same length (represented by the 3 same type of tick marks on all sides) then the triangle is equilaterial. Which means all the angles are the same.

Sum of angles in a triangle is 180˚.

x represents the value of <N, <M, and <P

so since all angles are the same, 3x = 180, all angles of part a triangle are 60˚. Therefore, <M is 60˚.

for part b:

this is an isoceles triangle since two sides are the same length.

If it's isoceles, that means it's 2 base angles are the same value.
