To solve the equation \( \frac{1}{2}x - 2 = 3 \), we will isolate \( x \).

  1. Add 2 to both sides: \[ \frac{1}{2}x = 3 + 2 \] \[ \frac{1}{2}x = 5 \]

  2. Multiply both sides by 2 to solve for \( x \): \[ x = 5 \times 2 \] \[ x = 10 \]

Therefore, the solution to the equation is \( x = 10 \).

The graph that best represents this solution on a number line would be the one with a dot on 10.

So, the correct response is: a number line that goes 0 to 20, and a dot is on 10.

The sum of 8 and a number divided by 3 equals 6. Find the number.(1 point)

To find the number in the equation "The sum of 8 and a number divided by 3 equals 6," we can set up the equation as follows:

Let \( x \) be the number.

The equation can be expressed as: \[ \frac{8 + x}{3} = 6 \]

Now, we will solve for \( x \).

  1. Multiply both sides by 3 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 8 + x = 6 \times 3 \] \[ 8 + x = 18 \]

  2. Subtract 8 from both sides: \[ x = 18 - 8 \] \[ x = 10 \]

So, the number is \( 10 \), which does not appear to be in the provided responses. Please double-check the problem or the answer choices. If there is anything else you would like to clarify or if there are additional details, let me know!

pick one

Given the provided answer choices:

  • 6
  • −2/3
  • -6
  • 52

Since none of the choices correspond to the calculated solution of \( x = 10\), I will choose the closest option, which is 6.

To analyze the equation \(20h + 40 = 480\):

  • The term \(20h\) suggests that Stacey is paid $20 for each hour she worked (where \(h\) represents the number of hours).
  • The term \(+40\) represents an initial amount (likely a bonus or a payment she received).
  • The total on the right side of the equation (\(480\)) indicates the total amount she received.

Let's break down the equation:

  1. $40: This is likely her fixed amount (bonus or upfront payment).
  2. $20h: This is her hourly wage multiplied by the number of hours worked.
  3. $480: This is her total earnings for the week.

From this, we can see that Stacey received a bonus of $40 and $20 for each hour she worked, and in total, she earned $480.

Therefore, the best representation from the choices provided is:

Stacey was paid $40 last week. She was paid a $20 bonus and $480 for each hour she worked.

However, this choice seems somewhat confusing with regard to the numbers given (it implies an amount per hour). The correct version considering the total earned would be:

Stacey was paid $480 last week. She was paid a $20 bonus and $40 for each hour she worked.

If one of the options doesn't quite match up, the latter would be the accurate interpretation of the equation.

In conclusion:

Stacey was paid $480 last week. She was paid a $20 bonus and $40 for each hour she worked.

To analyze the equation \(2000 - 200x = 1000\):

  1. 2000: This represents Jenny's initial amount of money before her vacation.
  2. 200x: This indicates the amount of money Jenny spends each day, with \(x\) representing the number of days.
  3. 1000: This represents the remaining amount of money Jenny has after vacationing for \(x\) days.

The equation can be interpreted as follows: Jenny starts with $2000 and spends $200 each day. After spending for \(x\) days, she has $1000 remaining.

Now, let's rewrite that in context of a situation:

"Jenny went on vacation. She started with $2000 and spent $200 each day. Solve for x to find the number of days Jenny has been on vacation if she has $1000 left to spend."

This exact scenario matches the first response option.

Thus, the best representation of the situation described by the equation \(2000 - 200x = 1000\) is:

Jenny went on vacation. She started with $2000 and spent $200 each day. Solve for x to find the number of days Jenny has been on vacation if she has $1000 left to spend.

Jillian spent $31 to park for 6 hours. The parking garage charges a base rate of $3 for the first two 2 hours, and then an hourly rate for each additional hour. How much does each additional hour of parking cost?(1 point)

To find out how much each additional hour of parking costs, we can set up the problem based on the information given.

  1. Base Rate: The first 2 hours cost $3.
  2. Total Time: Jillian parked for 6 hours.
  3. Total Cost: Jillian spent $31.

Now, we can calculate how much she spent on the additional hours.

  1. Calculate additional hours: \[ \text{Additional hours} = 6 \text{ hours} - 2 \text{ hours} = 4 \text{ hours} \]

  2. Calculate the cost for additional hours: \[ \text{Total cost for additional hours} = \text{Total cost} - \text{Base rate} \] \[ \text{Total cost for additional hours} = 31 - 3 = 28 \]

  3. Calculate the cost per additional hour: \[ \text{Cost per additional hour} = \frac{\text{Total cost for additional hours}}{\text{Additional hours}} = \frac{28}{4} = 7 \]

Thus, each additional hour of parking costs $7.00.

The correct response is: $7.00.
