Answer:

60 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

we can see that the number of minutes increases by 8 each day

(12 + 8 = 20, 20 + 8 = 28, 28 + 8 = 36...)

So, because we have the value for the previous day (day 6) we know that we can simply add 8

52 + 8 = 60

So, the predicted number of minutes for day 7 is 60

Answer:

(3, -2)

Step-by-step explanation:

 We can view slope as: [tex]\frac{rise}{run}[/tex] (rise / run)

"rise" is the change in y from one point to another

"run" is the difference in x from one point to another

So, if the slope of a line is 2, it rises 2 every time it runs 1 (2 = 2/1)

So, we can find another point on the line by adding 2 to the y-value, and adding 1 to the x-value.

(x, y)  

          (2, -4)

         + 1  + 2

           (3, -2)

So, another point on this graph is (3, -2)

The number of postage stamps in John’s collection is 27.

We have given that,

John, Johan, and Jonathan collect postage stamps. Johan and Jonathan have the same number of stamps.

The elimination method is the process of eliminating one of the variables in the system of linear equations using the addition or subtraction methods in conjunction with the multiplication or division of coefficients of the variables.

Johan and Jonathan have the same number of stamps.

Let x be the Johan and Jonathan postal stamps.

Let y be the John postal stamps.

Two times Johan’s collection is eleven less than five times John’s collection.

2x = 5y - 11............(1)

Three times Jonathan’s collection is three less than seven times John’s collection.

3x = 7y - 3............(2)

Multiply equation 1 with 3

3(2x = 5y - 11)

⇒ 6x = 15y - 33.........(3)

Multiply equation 2 with 2

2(3x = 7y - 3)

⇒ 6x = 14y - 6.............(4)

Subtract equation 4 from equation 3

⇒ 6x - 6x = 15y - 33 - (14y - 6)

⇒ 0 = y - 27

⇒ y = 27

Hence, the number of postage stamps in John’s collection is 27.

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf L = 78\°}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Exterior angle of L = 5x + 12

M = 3x - 2

N = 50

So, the exterior angle that is adjacent to L is equal to the sum of non-adjacent sides (M and N) of the triangle.

Here,

Exterior angle of L = M + N

5x + 12 = 3x - 2 + 50

5x + 12 = 3x + 48

Subtract 12 to both sides

5x = 3x + 48 - 12

5x - 3x = 36

2x = 36

Divide 2 to both sides

x = 18

So,

= 3x - 2

= 3 (18) - 2

= 54 - 2

= 52°

Now,

We know that,

L + M + N = 180°

L + 52 + 50 = 180

L + 102 = 180

Subtract 102 to both sides

L = 180 - 102

L = 78°

After 7 days, the balance will be Rs. 628.

(A) The slope of the given function is 40.

(B) In point - slope form it is y - 600 = 40x

   In Slope - intercept form it is y = 40x + 600

   In Standard form it is 40x - y + 600 = 0

(C) g(x) = 4x + 600

(D) After 7 days, the balance will be Rs. 628

Let g(x) = y

(A) We know slope = change in y/change in x

                               = 720-600/3-0

                               = 120/3

                               = 40

Therefore, the slope of the given function is 40.

(B) We know that the equation of a line

in point - slope form is y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)

where ( x₁, y₁ ) is a point on the line

where m is the slope

Therefore, substituting the values, we get,

y - 600 = 40(x - 0)

=> y - 600 = 40x                                    --(i)

Slope - intercept form is y  = mx + b

where m is the slope

and b is the y-intercept

To find y intercept, we substitute x = 0 in equation (i)

=> 40*0 - y + 600 = 0

=> -y + 600 = 0

=> y = 600

Therefore, substituting the values, we get,

     y = 40x + 600

in Standard form is ax + by = c

where a, b, and c is constant

Converting the equation found above into the standard form

=> y = 40x + 600

=> 40x - y + 600 = 0

(C) As we had assumed g(x) to be y

=> From equation (i),

 y - 600 = 40x    

can be written as g(x) - 600 = 4x

=> g(x) = 4x + 600                                    --(ii)

(D) We need to find the balance in the bank account after 7 days

=> Balance [g(x)] when x = 7

Therefore, substituting the value of x in equation (ii)

=> g(x) = 4*7 + 600

          = 28 + 600

          = 628

Therefore, after 7 days, the balance will be Rs. 628.

Assuming that both lines are parallel, we conclude that C = 74°.

Here we can see that both of the lines that go upwards are parallel lines. This means that C and the 74° angles are opposite angles.

Then if we say that x is the angle at the right of the 74°, we must have that:

x + 74° = 180°

x = 180° - 74° = 106°

And we also must have that:

x + C = 106° + C = 180°

Solving for C:

C = 180° - 106° = 74°

C = 74°.

The area of the octagon having an apothem of 6 meters and a side length of 7 meters is 168 meter square

Using the formula:

Area of an octagon = perimeter * apothem / 2

Note that perimeter of an octagon = 8 a

where a is the length of it's side

Perimeter = 8 * 7

Perimeter = 56 meters

Apothem = 6 meters

Substitute into the formula

Area = 56 * 6/ 2

Area = 336 / 2

Answer:

can you rephrase it? how many pounds are there?

Step-by-step explanation:

The amount of oil required for 1 liter of fuel is 111.11 mL.

Fraction is the portion of a total amount where the above part of the fraction is the denominator and the bottom part of the fraction is called the numerator.

Given that the fuel is the mixture where 8 parts are petrol and 1 part is oil in the whole part of the fuel.

The total part of the fuel is 8+1=9

the portion of the petrol is = parts of petrol/total parts of the fuel= 8/9

the portion of the oil = parts of oil /total parts of the fuel= 1/9

Now we have to calculate the amount of oil required for 1 liter of fuel.

As discussed before, 1/9 parts of the fuel is oil.

So the amount of oil is= (1/9)*1 liter= (1/9)litre= 1/9* 1000 mL= 111.11 mL

Similarly, we can calculate the amount of petrol which will be

the amount of petrol= (8/9)*1 liter= (8/9) liter= 8/9*1000 mL= 888.88 mL

Therefore the amount of oil required for 1 liter of fuel is 111.11 mL.
