Mary, Peter, and Lucy were picking chestnuts. Mary picked twice as much chestnuts than Peter. Lucy picked 2 kg more than Peter. Together the three of them picked 26 kg of chestnuts. How many kilograms did each of them pick?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Peter = 6 kg

Mary = 12 kg

Lucy = 8 kg

Step-by-step explanation:

let us take number of kg's peter took as x

then lets form an expression to find x

let us take mary's chestnuts as = 2x (twice as much as peter)

let us take Lucy's chestnuts as = 2 + x (picked 2 kg more than peter)

so

x + 2x + 2+ x = 26

4x + 2 = 26

4x = 26 - 2

4x = 24

x = 24/4

x = 6

now let us see how much each of them picked while replacing 6 by x

Peter = x

         = 6 kg

Mary = 2x

         = 2(6)

         = 12 kg

Lucy = 2+x

        = 2 + 6

        = 8 kg

now let us cross check to see the answer

6 + 12 + 8

18 + 8

= 26

CROSS-CHECKED

Answer 2
Peter- 6 kg
Mary- 12 kg
Lucy- 8 kg

Hi how can I graph this if it dosn't have a slope?
1. y = (2/3)x - 1

Answers

System of Linear Equations entered :

[1] y - 2x/3 = -1

[2] y + x = 4

// To remove fractions, multiply equations by their respective LCD

Multiply equation [1] by 3

// Equations now take the shape:

[1] 3y - 2x = -3

[2] y + x = 4

Graphic Representation of the Equations :

-2x + 3y = -3 x + y = 4

Solve by Substitution :

// Solve equation [2] for the variable x

[2] x = -y + 4

// Plug this in for variable x in equation [1]

[1] 3y - 2•(-y +4) = -3

[1] 5y = 5

// Solve equation [1] for the variable y

[1] 5y = 5

[1] y = 1

// By now we know this much :

y = 1

x = -y+4

// Use the y value to solve for x

x = -(1)+4 = 3

Write the slope-intercept form of the equation of the
line through the given point with the given slope.
10. through: (5, -3), slope -4/5.

Answers

Answer:

y = -4/5x + 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope-intercept form:

y = mx + b, where m- slope, b- y-intercept

Use point (5, -3) and m = -4/5:

-3 = -4/5*5 + b-3 = -4 + bb = -3 + 4b = 1

The line is:

y = -4/5x + 1

Answer:

b = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that

y = mx + b

-3 = -4/5 × 5 + b

-3 = -20/5 + b

-3 = -4 + b

-3 + 4 = b

1 = b

Please show your work too. Thanks!​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{ 1 }{3} [/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

we would like to compute the following limit:

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty } \frac{ \sqrt{4 {n}^{2} + 3n } }{6n} [/tex]

if we compute the limit from numerator to denominator directly,we'd end up with

[tex] \dfrac{ \infty }{ \infty } [/tex]

which is an indeterminate form so we must do it in a different way. well to compute this limit,we can consider factoring method . notice that we can factor the numerator and that yields

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty } \frac{ \sqrt{ {n}^{2} ( 4 {}^{} + \frac{3}{n} )} }{6n} [/tex]

remember that ,

[tex] \sqrt{ab} \implies \sqrt{a} \sqrt{b} [/tex]

thus we acquire:

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty } \frac{ {n} \sqrt{ ( 4 {}^{} + \frac{3}{n} )} }{6n} [/tex]

reduce fraction:

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty } \frac{ {} \sqrt{ 4 {}^{} + \frac{3}{n} } }{6} [/tex]

as n approaches to ∞ ,3/n approaches to 0 which yields:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{ \sqrt{ 4 {}^{} } }{6} [/tex]

simplify square root:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{ 2 }{6} [/tex]

reduce fraction:

[tex]\displaystyle \frac{ 1 }{3} [/tex]

hence,

[tex]\displaystyle \lim_{n \to \infty } \frac{ \sqrt{4 {n}^{2} + 3n } }{6n} = \boxed{ \frac{1}{3} }[/tex]

and we're done!

How do I write this in slope intercept form: (-3,-4) and (4,-3)

PLEASE HELP I NEED IT TONIGHT!!!?!?!!!??

Answers

Slope intercept form is y = mx + b

Pick one of the coordinates, I’ll use (-3,-4) as the example.

Coordinates are just numbers plugged in for (x,y).

This means -3 would be your x and -4 would be your y.

So plug these numbers into the equation and you get -4 = m(-3) + b.

M is slope and to find slope, you need to do (y2-y1) / (x2-x1).

In other words, it would be (-3 - -4) / (4 - -3) = 1/7 which is your slope (m).

Now plug that in for m to get the b variable.

-4 = 1/7(-3) + b.

B = -3.57

Your answer is y = 1/7x -3.57
