you can set this up with the equation;

x + (x + 42) = 138

start by combining like terms;

2x = 138 - 42

2x = 96

x = 96/2

x = 48

we've found x now plug it back into the original equation.

48 + (48 + 42) = 138

48 + 90 = 138

hope it helped...if you have any concerns just let me know:)

Svet_ta [12734]
<span>P(black socks): 24/42 or 12/21
P(black socks without replacement): 23/41. Consequently, the chance of randomly selecting 2 black socks, without replacement, from the basket is 12/21×23/41=276/861, equivalent to 32%. Hope this helps!</span>

The volume of a cube depends on the length of its sides. This can be written in function notation as v(s). What is the best inte
AnnZ [12381]

Let

s--------> denote the cube's side length

We know that

the volume of a cube is calculated as

V(s)= s^{3}

if the side length s measures 2\ feet

then

s=2\ feet

and thus, the volume is defined as

V(2)= 2^{3}

V(2)= 8\ feet^{3}

This leads us to conclude

the correct option is

D. A cube with side lengths of 2 feet has a volume of 8 cubic feet.

Two fathers and two sons own 21 horses. They are moving to different parts of the country and want to divide the horses evenly a
tester [12383]
They cannot possess the same number of horses; let me clarify. If you divide 21 horses among four individuals, you would perform 21/4, yielding 5.25, implying that fractional horses are unfeasible. Therefore, at least one individual must have 6 horses instead of 5. Possibly, this is what your instructor wants you to understand. For an even distribution, they could sell one horse, making it 20, so each would then have 5 horses. Alternatively, they might share the extra horse to rotate its usage.

a barangay has 1000 individuals and its population doubles every 60 years. Give an exponential model for the barangay's populati
Svet_ta [12734]

Answer:

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

Step-by-step explanation:

The population of the barangay can be modeled using the exponential function;

P(t) = P0e^kt

P(t) reflects the population after t years

P0 denotes the initial population

t indicates the time

With an initial population of 1000, we set P0 = 1000

Given that the population doubles every 60 years, at t = 60, it holds that P(t) = 2P0

Inserting that into the equation yields

2P0 = P0e^k(60)

2 = e^60k

Taking the natural logarithm of both sides

ln2 = lne^60k

ln2 = 60k

k = ln2/60

k = 0.01155

Inserting the determined k value and P0 into the function gives

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

Thus, the exponential model for the population of the barangay is

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