and y represent the number of
cards that cost $3.25 each. This
situation can be represented by
the system x + y = 6 and
2.5x + 3.25y = 15.75. How many
of each type of card did Mei
purchase?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 6 -------------(I)

    y = 6 -x

2.5x + 3.25y = 15.75 -------------(II)

substitute y = 6 - x in equation (II)

2.5x + 3.25*(6 - x) = 15.75      {Distributive property: a(b +c) =a*b + b*c}

2.5x + 3.25*6 - x * 3.25 = 15.75    

2.5x + 19.5 - 3.25x = 15.75

2.5x - 3.25x + 19.5 = 15.75    {Combine like terms}

-0.75x +  19.5 = 15.75

            -0.75x=15.75 - 19.5

           -0.75x = -3.75

                  x = -3.75/-0.75

                  x = 5

Plugin x = 5 in (I)

5 + y = 6

     y = 6 - 5

    y = 1

Leon constructed a point P that divides the directed segment from A to B in the ratio 2 to 1. Chelsea constructed a point Q that divides the directed segment from B to A in the ratio 1 to 2. How are points P and Q related? Explain.

Points P and Q are...

A.) two units apart. B.) the same point. C.) one unit apart.

Point P is ___ of the distance from A to B. [ A.) 2/3 B.) 1/2. C.) 1/3. ]

Point Q is of the distance from B to A. [ A.)1/3 B.). 1/2 C.)2/3. ]

The means the points lielocation along the line segment.

[ A.) At the same B.)At a different

Solution:

Since point P is divides the segment from A to B in the ratio 2 to 1 therefore:

P = 2/3 of the distance from A to B.

Since point Q is divides the segment from B to A in the ratio 1 to 2, therefore:

Q = 1/3 of the distance from B to A

2/3 of the distance from A to B = 1/3 of the distance from B to A

Therefore point P and point Q lie along the same line segment from A to B (or B to A) and the points P and Q are at the same point,

4+5=4*[5+(4-1)]=32

Answers

hi

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all let’s find out the slope of the line y = x +10

As, we know the equation y= mx + c . So comparing the given equation with the general equation we get, m = 1

Now, we know that the product of two perpendicular lines is -1.

Thus, mn = -1 (considering slope of the second line as n)

Putting the value of m we get , n = -1

Now , y+5= -1( x -15) i.e y=-x + 10

if we compare again with the general equation then we find that.

The y intercept of the required equation is 10.

The ratio of length and breadth of a rectangular playground is 3:2. There
is a two meter wide jogging track along and outside the playground. The
total area of the track and the playground is 2816 sq.m. Find the length
and breadth of the playground,​

Answers

Answer:

We know that the ratio of length and breadth of a rectangular playground is 3:2

Then if the length is L, and the breadth is B, we have the relationship:

L = (3/2)*B

Outside this playground, we have a jogging track of 2m, then if we also consider the jogging track the length and breadth are:

L' = L + 2m

B' = B + 2m

The area is the product between the area and the breadth, then the area is:

A = B'*L'

A = (L + 2m)*(B + 2m)

And remember that L = (3/2)*B

Then we get:

A =  ((3/2)*B + 2m)*(B + 2m)

And the area is 2816 m^2

Then we have:

A =  ((3/2)*B + 2m)*(B + 2m) = 2816 m^2

Now we can solve the equation:

((3/2)*B + 2m)*(B + 2m) = 2816 m^2

(3/2)*B^2 + 3m*B + 2m*B + 4m^2 = 2816 m^2

(3/2)*B^2 + 5m*B =  2816 m^2 - 4m^2 = 2812m^2

Then we can write:

(3/2)*B^2 + 5m*B -  2812m^2 = 0

We can solve this if we use Bhaskara's formula:

[tex]B = \frac{-(5m) +- \sqrt{(5m)^2 - 4*(3/2)*(-2812m^2)} }{2*(3/2)} = \frac{-5m +-130m}{3}[/tex]

One solution is negative, so we can discard that one, then we only take the positive:

B = (-5m + 130m)/3 = 41.67m

And L = (3/2)*B

L = (3/2)*40.7m = 62.5m

The breadth is 41.67 meters and the length is 62.5 meters.

please answer​

Answers

Answer:

69.5 tons of Alloy 1 (of 45% silver) and 69.5 tons of Alloy 2 (of 95% silver) is needed to make 139 tons of 75% silver alloy

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Alloy\ 1 = 45\%[/tex]

[tex]Alloy\ 2 = 95\%[/tex]

Required

How much of each alloy is needed for 70% silver alloy 139 tons

Let the amount of alloy 1 needed be x and the amount of 2 needed by y.

So:

[tex]x + y = 139[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]y = 139 - x[/tex]

The percentage of each needed is represented as:

[tex]45\% * x + 95\% * y = 139[/tex]

[tex]45\% * x + 95\% * y = 70\% * 139[/tex]

[tex]0.45x + 0.95y = 0.70 * 139[/tex]

[tex]0.45x + 0.95y = 97.3[/tex]

Substitute 139 - x for y in the above equations

[tex]0.45x + 0.95*(139-x) = 97.3[/tex]

[tex]0.45x + 0.95*139-0.95*x = 97.3[/tex]

[tex]0.45x + 132.05-0.95x = 97.3[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]0.45x -0.95x = 97.3-132.05[/tex]

[tex]-0.50x = -34.75[/tex]

Make x the subject

[tex]x = \frac{-34.75}{-0.50}[/tex]

[tex]x = 69.5[/tex]

Recall that:

[tex]y = 139 - x[/tex]

[tex]y = 139 - 69.5[/tex]

[tex]y = 69.5[/tex]

This implies that:

69.5 tons of Alloy 1 (of 45% silver) and 69.5 tons of Alloy 2 (of 95% silver) is needed to make 139 tons of 75% silver alloy

A pole tilts at an angle of 9 degrees from vertical, away from the sun. The pole casts a shadow that is 24 feet long. The angle of elevation from the end of the pole’s shadow to the top of the pole is 53 degrees. How long is the pole?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

180-53-(90-9)=46

sin53/p=sin46/24

p=24sin53/sin46

p=26.65ft

The length of the pole with the given shadown is 26.6 feet long.

Length of the pole

The height of the pole is determined from trignometry property of right triangle.

The shadow of the pole, vertical height formed by the pole and the length of the pole, will form a right triangle.

Let the base of the right triangle = 24 ftLet the base angle = 53⁰base angle of similar triangle = (90 - 53) + 9 = 46⁰

The length of the pole is calculated as follows;

L/sin53 = 24/sin46

L = (24 x sin53) / (sin 46)

L = 26.6 ft

Thus, the length of the pole with the given shadown is 26.6 feet long.

Suppose you know that ∠S and ∠Y are complementary, and that m∠S = 4(m∠Y) − 210°. Find m∠Y.

Answers

Answer:

angle Y= 60 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

angle S + angle Y = 90 degrees because they are complementary

Y = 90 - S

angle S = 4(Y)-210

substitute for Y

S = 4(90 - S) - 210

S = 360 - 4S - 210

reduce

5S = 150

S = 30

Y = 90 - 30 = 60

The median is 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the median of the set of values.

First, we need to write the set in ascending order.

We get:

1 five times

2 three times

3 five times

4 two times

5 seven times

6 four times

The median will be the midle value (for example in a set of 5 elements, the middle element is the third one) of this set, then the first part is to write the set, we get:

{1, 1, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 3, 3, 3, 3, 3, 4, 4, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 5, 6, 6, 6, 6}

In this set we have

5 + 3 + 5+ 2  +7 + 4= 26 values

So we will not have a middle value, we need to take the mean of the two middle values (the 13th value and the 14th value)

We can see in the set above that these values are:

3 and 4.

Then we want to take the mean between 3 and 4.

We get:

Wild Water Adventure Waterslides park charges a rental fee plus $2 per hour to rent inflatable rafts. The total cost to rent a raft for 4 hours is $12.50. Assume the relationship is linear. Find the rate of change and the initial value. Then move on to part 'b' to interpret each of them.​

Answers

Answer:

m = 2, initial value = 4.5 or $4.50

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that renting a raft costs 2 dollars/hr plus some rental fee that we need to find.

We also know that renting a raft for 4 hours will cost $12.50. So we can do this:

$12.50 - (2.00 [tex]\frac{dollars}{hrs}[/tex] × 4 hrs) = $4.50, which is the "b" in the standard equation for y = mx + b

So, our equation is y = 2x + 4.5

The rate of change is the slope, which is the coefficient of the x.

m = 2

Our initial value is when x = 0.

y = 2(0) + 4.5

y = 4.5
