To solve the problem, we begin by defining the original number of people in the room as $ x $. --- ### Step 1: People Who Left Half of the people left the room. So, the number of people who left is: $$ \frac{1}{2}x $$ Therefore, the number of people remaining in the room is: $$ x - \frac{1}{2}x = \frac{1}{2}x...

<think> Okay, so I need to find the distance between the x-intercepts of two lines. One line has a slope of 3, and the other has a slope of 5. They intersect at the point (10, 15). Hmm, let me think about how to approach this. First, I remember that the x-intercept of a line is the point where the line crosses the x-a...

To solve the problem, we are given two lines: - One with slope $ m_1 = 3 $ - Another with slope $ m_2 = 5 $ These lines intersect at the point $ (10, 15) $. We are asked to find the **distance between the x-intercepts** of these two lines. --- ### Step 1: Find the equations of the lines We use the **point-slope fo...

How many positive factors of 36 are also multiples of 4? $\text{(A)}\ 2 \qquad \text{(B)}\ 3 \qquad \text{(C)}\ 4 \qquad \text{(D)}\ 5 \qquad \text{(E)}\ 6$ Please reason step by step, and put your final answer within oxed{}.
<think> Okay, so I need to figure out how many positive factors of 36 are also multiples of 4. Let me start by recalling what factors and multiples are. A factor of a number is an integer that divides that number without leaving a remainder. A multiple of 4 is any number that can be expressed as 4 times some integer. S...

To determine how many square centimeters of paper Jackson can cover with his paint, we need to calculate the **area** of the strip he can paint. The strip has a **length** of 25 meters and a **width** of 6.5 millimeters. Since the final answer is required in **square centimeters**, we must convert all measurements to c...
