#1 Re: Help Me ! » Translating sentences into equations » 2017-03-14 03:42:11
Would the equation be something like this
x + 3(x + 1) + (x + 2) = 186
#2 Re: Help Me ! » Translating sentences into equations » 2017-03-14 03:40:25
One more last question, which is posted below:
If the sum of three consecutive even integers is 186, what is the first of three even integers?
#3 Re: Help Me ! » Translating sentences into equations » 2017-03-14 03:29:19
x + 2(x + 1) = 17
x + 2x + 2 = 17
3x + 2 - 2 = 17 - 2
3x = 15
So the answer would be 5 and 6?
#4 Re: Help Me ! » Translating sentences into equations » 2017-03-14 03:19:49
May I do another problem for you? I just want to make sure i do it correctly.
When the smaller of two consecutive integers is added to two times the larger, the result is 17.
x + 2(x + 2) = 17
x + 2x + 4 = 17
3x + 4 = 17
3x + 4 - 4 = 17 - 4
3x = 13
Now how would I get the finally answer since it wouldn't be even?
#5 Re: Help Me ! » Translating sentences into equations » 2017-03-14 03:09:46
x + 4(x+2) = 38
x + 4x + 8 = 38
5x + 8 = 38
5x + 8 - 8 = 38 - 8
5x = 30
30/5 = 6
So the answer is 6 and 8?
#6 Re: Help Me ! » Translating sentences into equations » 2017-03-14 02:54:47
The equation below is correct?
Find two consecutive even integers such that the smaller added to four times the larger gives a sum of 38.
x + 4x + 2 = 38
#7 Re: Help Me ! » Translating sentences into equations » 2017-03-14 02:43:56
I do need help on another question, which is posted below.
Find two consecutive even integers such that the smaller added to four times the larger gives a sum of 38.
Would this consider as a table problem?
#8 Re: Help Me ! » Translating sentences into equations » 2017-03-14 02:41:34
Okay now I what to do know with this type of problem, thank you for the help. This example should help me out on my homework. Thanks again!
s + (2s - 650) = 1804
= 818
c = 2 s - 650
= 986
#9 Re: Help Me ! » Translating sentences into equations » 2017-03-14 02:14:53
I don't know where to start on how to solve those two equations. May you give example on how to do this?

Hello,
I need help with this problem below, I don't know how to translate into a equation. It's the only issue I need help with.
Ted Ming owns two soup and sandwich lunch shops. This year the telephone bill for his Cascade shop was $650 less than twice the telephone bill for his Santa Clara shop. The total telephone expense for both was $1804. What was the cost of each shop's telephone service for the year?
The yearly bill for the Santa Clara shop was $
The yearly bill for the Cascade shop was $

Hello, I need help with the following problems. I don't understand the information that my textbook provides.
1. Find the 4th term if the sequence in which a1 = 2 and a(n+1) = -4an + 2
2. Find the third iterate, x3, of the function f(x) = 3x + 5 for an initial value of x0 = 1
3. The rate of inflation is 3%. The cost of an item in future years can be found by iterating the function c(x) = 1.03x. Find the cost of a $1500 refrigerator in three years if the rate of inflation remains consistant.

What is the area of the circle of the radius is:
2. SQRT(3)
A = (PI)r2
A = (PI)SQRT(3)2
A = 9 PI
What is the radius if the area of the circle is:
14. t^2(PI)
t2(PI) = (PI)r2
Need Help
15. t^2(PI)
t2(PI) = (PI)r2
Need help
What is the area of the sector if the radius is 6 and the degree measure is:
16. 26
A = (n/360)[(PI)r2]
A = (26/360)[(PI)62]
A = (13/180)[(PI)36]
A = 468/180(PI)
A = 2 3/5
20. 120
A = (n/360)[(PI)r2]
A = (120/360)[(PI)62]
A = (3/3)[(PI)36]
A = 108/3(PI)
A = 36
Sorry for the confusion!

The diameter of the black circle is 4 inches. The radius of the white middle circle is 6 inches and the Radius of the red circle is 9 inches.
1. Robin knowns that if he hits the white part of the target, he just slightly win, therefore not embarrassing John. What is the probability that Robin will hit the white part of the target (not the red and not the bull’s-eye)? Show your work.
3.14(2)2
= 12.56
3.14(6)2
= 113.04
3.14(9)2
= 254.34
2. After Robin shoots into the white area, John knows he cannot win, so he decides to set his sights on second place. To get second place, he needs to hit either the white circle or the bull’s-eye. What is the probability that he can do that? Show your work.
3.14(2)2 = 12.56 // 3.14(6)2 = 113.04 // 3.14(9)2 = 254.34

If you have a 45-45-90 triangle:
2. With a hypotenuse of SQRT(6), what is the length of one leg?
6. And one leg has a length of SQRT(8), what is the length of the hypotenuse?
7. And one leg has a length of SQRT(32), what is the length of the hypotenuse?
If you have a 30-60-90 triangle:
13. And the length of the longest leg is 5[SQRT(3)], what's the length of the other leg?
14. Working from #13, what's the length of the hypotenuse?
15. And the length of the longest leg is 9, what is the length of shortest leg?
16. Working from #15, what is the length of the hypotenuse?
17. With a hypotenuse of 2[SQRT(3)] what is the length of the longest leg?
18. Working from #17, what is the length of the shortest leg?
19. And the length of the shortest leg is SQRT(12), what is the length of the longest leg?
20. Working from #19, what is the length of the hypotenuse?
Then I need help with Geometric Probability after. Before I post the questions may I please get some practice questions? Thanks again!!!
