A pharmaceutical company’s stock price was $45.32 on Monday. On Tuesday, the price went up $3.25. On Wednesday, the price decreased from Tuesday’s price by $1.73. On Thursday, the price went up $0.89 from Wednesday’s price. Which of the following was the final price on Thursday?

An independent variable is a variable that is manipulated or changed in the experiment. From the given equation, x is variable that is changed to obtain the desired outcome, F(x). Therefore, x is an independent variable.

The SI units of measuring length is meter. However, a meter can be a large unit or small quantity depending what is being measured. Therefore, derived units of meters are used to measure the length of an object. In our case, centimeters is the appropriate unit to measure the width of the window.

The slope represents the ratio of rise to run. Let p be the minimum length of the ramp, we can set a ratio equation as follows. Then,

The minimum length of the ramp needed is 18 feet to access to a door that is 1.5 feet above the sidewalk.

The sides of a right-angled triangle are determined by the Pythagoras theorem. If we let the unknown side to x as in the figure below, then theory is applied as follows.  

The value of x is found as:

The value of the unknown leg side of a triangle is about 9.8 feet.

We are asked to find the fraction of pizza the three friends shared equally.

First, the whole pizza is represented by 1. If one friend ate a quarter of the pizza, then:

First friend eats =1/4 of 1=1/4*1=1/4

Remaining fraction of the pizza=1-1/4=3/4

Now, the three friends share 3/4 amongst themselves equally. So, each friend gets

The three friends each gets 1/4 of the pizza.

we set the conversion equation to find the unknown unit. Arrange the equation such that the unwanted units cancel out and the wanted unit remains.

The value 365.76 cm is close to 365 cm. Therefore, 4 yards is approximately 365 cm.

In this case, we use a calculator to estimate the positive square root of 42.

Then, multiplying the square root above with 6 becomes

Then, the approximate value of 6 time the positive square root of 42 is 38.9.

9/20 is the same as 9 divided by 20, which is evaluated 9÷20. The value becomes 0.45.

Thus, 9/20 is equal to 0.45.

we are asked to find the amount of milk in mL using the given information.

If we let x represent the amount of milk in mL, we set up a proportion with number of teaspoons on the numerator and amount in mL in the denominator.

A recipe of 3.4 teaspoons is equal to 17.0 mL.

We are given the equation:

6x−5=10x+15

Step 1: Move all xxx-terms to one side

Subtract 6x from both sides:

−5=10x−6x+15

Step 2: Move constants to the other side

Subtract 15 from both sides:

−5−15=4x

−20=4x

Step 3: Solve for x

Divide both sides by 4:

x=−20/4 = −5
