Joe is 3 years less than twice as old as Sara. The sum of the ages of Joe and Sara is 42. If x represents Sara's age,

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Sara or x=15, Joe=27

Step-by-step explanation:

Using J to represent Joe and S to represent Sara

J=2S-3

J+S=42 or J=42-S

Substitute for J:

42-S=2S-3

3S=45

S=15

J=2(15)-3 = 27

17 apples and 12 oranges cost $10.44. 3 apples and 4 oranges cost $2.84. How much does 1 orange cost?

Answers

Answer:

0.48$

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of 1 Apple = A

 

Cost of 1 Orange = O

 

 

Six apples and three oranges cost $3.36 equivalent to:

 

6A + 3O = 3.36 (1st equation).

 

Two apples and five oranges cost $3.04 equivalent to:

 

2A + 5O = 3.04 (2nd equation).

 

 

Now we have to solve the 2 equations with 2 uknowns (the cost of 1 Apple = A, and the cost of 1 Orange = O).

 

6A + 3O = 3.36 (Equation 1)

2A + 5O = 3.04 (Equation 2), multiplying this equation by 3 we get:

 

6A + 3O = 3.36 (Equation 1)

6A + 15O = 9.12 (Equation 2), Now equation 2 minus equation 1 we get:

 

 

6A-6A +15O -3O = 9.12-3.36 equivalent to:

 

12O = 5.76 => O = 5.76/12 = 0.48 ( the cost of one Orange is 0.48$)

 

Go back to equation 1 and solve for the cost of 1 apple:

 

6A + 3x0.48 = 3.36 =>

6A + 1.44 = 3.36 =>

6A = 1.92 =>

A = 1.92/6 = 0.32 ( the cost of one apple is 0.32$)

 

Summary: The cost of one apple is 0.32$ and the cost of one orange is 0.48$.

The answer is 48¢... Hope it helps!!

The base of 40-foot ladder is 8 feet from the wall. How high is the ladder on the wall (round to the nearest foot)

Answers

Given:

The base of 40-foot ladder is 8 feet from the wall.

To find:

How high is the ladder on the wall (round to the nearest foot).

Solution:

Ladder makes a right angle triangle with wall and ground.

We have,

Length of ladder (hypotenuse)= 40 foot

Base = 8 foot

We need to find the perpendicular to get the height of the ladder on the wall.

Let h be the height of the ladder on the wall.

According to the Pythagoras theorem,

[tex]Hypotenuse^2=Base^2+Perpendicular^2[/tex]

[tex](40)^2=(8)^2+(h)^2[/tex]

[tex]1600=64+h^2[/tex]

[tex]1600-64=h^2[/tex]

[tex]1536=h^2[/tex]

Taking square root on both sides.

[tex]\pm \sqrt{1536}=h[/tex]

[tex]\pm 39.1918358=h[/tex]

Height cannot be negative. Round to the nearest foot.

[tex]h\approx 39[/tex]

Therefore, the height of the ladder on the wall is 39 foot.

A. y =31/3x + 500
B. y =15x + 425
C. y =33/2x + 425
D. y =15.05x +475

Answers

Answer:

1. D

2. y = 15.50x + 450

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since it is a function, the missing pair can't repeat input values with different output, therefore only option D is unique so is the correct choice.

2. x  > (y - 450)/ 15.50

i) Rita gets paid $450 per week.

ii) She gets $15.50 for every new membership she sells.

iii) let y represent the total pay per week.

iv) let x represent the number of new memberships sold.

v) the equation representing total pay is y = 15.50x + 450.

vii) therefore the equation that represents a higher rate of membership sold is given by  x  > (y - 450)/ 15.50

Tell whether the angles are adjacent or vertical. Then find the value of x.
I finished the angles, but need the value of x.

Answers

Answer : The angles are vertical angles and the value of x is [tex]25^o[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation :

Adjacent angles : It is defined as the two angles that have the common arm and common vertex.

Vertical angles : It is defined as the two lines intersect each other and form angles. The opposite angles are known as vertically opposite angles.

And we know that the vertically opposite angles are equal.

In the given image, the angles are vertical angles and vertically opposite angles are equal.

So,

[tex](4x-25)^o=75^o[/tex]

[tex]4x-25^o=75^o[/tex]

[tex]4x=75^o+25^o[/tex]

[tex]4x=100^o[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{100^o}{4}[/tex]

[tex]x=25^o[/tex]

Therefore, the angles are vertical angles and the value of x is [tex]25^o[/tex]

A food store makes a 11-lb mixture of oatmeal, crispies, and chocolate chips. The cost of oatmeal is $1.50 per pound, crispies cost $2.00 per pound, and chocolate chips cost $1.00 per pound. The mixture calls for twice as much oatmeal as crispies. The total cost of the mixture is $17.00. How much of each ingredient did the store use?

Answers

Answer:

6 pounds of oatmeal, 3 pounds of crispies and 2 pounds of chocolate chips were used.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

x be the pounds of oatmeal used

y be the pounds of crispies used

z be the pounds of chocolate

According to given statement;

1.50x+2.00y+1.00z = 17.00     Eqn 1

x+y+z = 11      Eqn 2

x = 2y   Eqn 3

Putting x=2y in Eqn 2

2y+y+z = 11

3y+z = 11     Eqn 4

From Eqn 4

z = 11 - 3y    Eqn 5

Putting value of x and z from Eqn 3 and Eqn 5 in Eqn 1

1.50(2y) + 2.00y + 1(11-3y) = 17.00

3y+2y+11-3y=17

[tex]2y=17-11\\2y=6\\\frac{2y}{2}=\frac{6}{2}\\y=3[/tex]

Putting y = 3 in Eqn 3

x= 2(3)

x= 6

Putting in Eqn 2

6 + 3 + z = 11

z = 11-9

z= 2

Hence,

6 pounds of oatmeal, 3 pounds of crispies and 2 pounds of chocolate chips were used.

The lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the extended ratio 4 ​: 7 ​: 8. The perimeter of the triangle is 95 cm. What are the lengths of the​ sides?

Answers

Answer:

20 cm, 35 cm, 40 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

sum the parts of the ratio, 4 + 7 + 8 = 19 parts

Divide the perimeter by 19 to find the value of one part of the ratio.

95 cm ÷ 19 = 5 cm, then

4 parts = 4 × 5 cm = 20 cm

7 parts = 7 × 5 cm = 35 cm

8 parts = 8 × 5 cm = 40 cm

Thus the 3 sides are 20 cm, 35 cm and 40 cm

Answer:

The measure of the sides of a triangle will be:

4x = 4(5) = 20 cm

7x = 7(5) = 35 cm

8x = 8(5) = 40 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the extended ratio 4 ​: 7 ​: 8.

Also given that the perimeter of the triangle is 95 cm.

We know that the Perimeter of a triangle is the sum of all the sides of a triangle.

As the lengths of the sides of a triangle are in the proportion 4 ​: 7 ​: 8. Thus, the measure of the sides will have the same scale factor x.

Therefore,

4x + 7x + 8x = 95

Add similar elements: 4x + 7x + 8x = 19x

19x =  95

Divide both sides by 19

19x/19 = 95/19

x = 5

Therefore, the measure of the sides of a triangle will be:

4x = 4(5) = 20 cm

7x = 7(5) = 35 cm

8x = 8(5) = 40 cm

Verification:

20 + 35 + 40 = 95

95 = 95

Find the next three terms of the following arithmetic sequence. -10, -3, 4, 11, (Three missing numbers)

Answers

Answer:

You can find the difference of two numbers easier if you take the absolute value of them (which is canseling out the negative or positive of them, and figuring out how far away from 0 they are) |-10| = 10, |-3| = 3, the difference between 10 and 3 is 7. The only problem that arises is now we are dealing with and negative and a positive, for this one you must see that to get from -3 to zero, you need to add 3, and to get from 0 to 4, you need to add 4, if you add 3, and then 4, you get 7

The difference between 10 and 3 is 7

The difference between -3 and 4 is 7

So naturally, the next number will be 4 + 7 = 11

The second differences are the same. The sequence is quadratic and will contain an n^2 term. The coefficient of n^2 is always half of the second difference. In this example, the second difference is 6. Half of 6 is 3 so the coefficient of n^2 is 3

therefore 3n^2
