If x represents the width of a rectangle and length is four less than three times the width, which of the following expressions represents the length of the rectangle in terms of x?

To form an equation from the word problem, first break the given statement into smaller statements.

First, we are given the width of the rectangle as x. We are told, the length is three times width. Mathematically, this means

Length=3*width=3*x=3x

Again, the length is 4 less than 3 times width of the rectangle. Thus, the length of rectangle in terms of width becomes:

Length =3x-4

This is the required equation.

here we use the US customary system to convert between yards and feet. We use the conversion 1 yard =3 feet. Then, 6 yards to ft is found as

Thus, 6 yards is equal to 18 ft.

an independent variable is one that when changed, causes the other variable(s) to change. In our case, calories burned, distance traveled, energy used increase when cycling speed increases.

Therefore, speed is the independent variable while other variables are dependent.

we follow the order operations to solve for the unknown value of x.

2(4x+3)=7x+5

Open the bracket on the LHS by multiplying each term by 2

(2*4x)+(2*3)=7x+5

8x+6=7x+5

Subtract 6 from both sides

8x+6-6=7x+5-6

8x=7x-1

Subtract 7x on both sides

8x-7x=7x-7x-1

X=-1

Thus, the value of unknown value of x is -1.

scatter plots can of three types: positive, negative and no correlation. A positive correlation scatter plot shows that as one variable increase, the other variable increases. A positive correlation can be visually depicted below.

In a negative correlation, the change in one variable is inversely proportional to another variable. That is, as one variable increases, the other variable decreases as shown below.

The third type of scatter plot is a no-correlation scatter plot. In this type of plot, there is no defined relationship between one variable and another one as in the curve below.

If we look at the relationship between the time the student listens to music and his test score, it is evident that no relationship exists between the two variables. Thus, this is a type of no correlation scatter plot.

Correlation of two variables falls into:

Positive correlation: an increase in one variable causes another variable to increase

Negative correlation: an increase in one variable causes another one to decrease

No correlation: a change in one variable does not cause any response in another variable.

From the given choices

Option a is no correlation

Option b is a negative correlation

Option c is a negative correlation

Option d is a positive correlation

to convert fraction to percent, we multiply the fraction with 100. Therefore, the percent equivalent of 5/8 is

Thus, 5/8 is equal to 62.5%.

To find the true statement we need to analyze the given statements.

For statement 1: the points per game decreased five times between 1996 and 2015. So, the statement is false.

For statement 2: the lowest points scored per game was in 1998-99 season. So, the statement is false.

For statement 3: 2008-09 was the season the chargers scored the greatest number of points per game. So, this statement is true.

To simplify the expression:

12+3×4−1+23

Step 1: Follow the order of operations (BODMAS)

Multiplication first:

3×4=12

23 = 2×2×2=8

Now the expression becomes:

12+12−1+8

Step 2: Perform addition and subtraction from left to right

• 12+12=24
• 24−1=23
• 23+8=31

The correct answer is 31.

the median of a data set is the element that is found on the middle position. It is found by organizing the elements from the smallest to largest.

The data set above arranged from the smallest to largest is:

11, 12, 12, 12, 13, 14, 17, 17, 18, 22, 26

The number of elements is odd and the median is found in the (N+1)/2 th position. Here N=11, and the median falls in (11+1)/2=12/2=6 th position.

The element 14 falls in the 6th position, which is our median of the given data set.
