Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve, and write as an ordered pair (with number of months as x).

Two friends, Ann and Malia, are growing out their hair. They plan to cut it off at a certain point and donate it to a charity that makes wigs for people with cancer. Ann's hair is already 23 centimeters long and grows at a constant rate of 3 centimeters per month. Malia's hair is 27 centimeters and growing at a speed of 1 centimeter per month. If the girls get their hair cut on a certain day, they will have exactly the same length to donate. How long will their hair be? How long will that take?

Ann's hair length: y = 23 + 3x

Malia's hair length: y = 27 + x

Thus: 23 + 3x = 27 + x

23 + 2x = 27

2x = 4

x = 2

Ann's hair length: y = 23 + 2(3) = 29

Malia's Hair length: y = 27 + 2 = 29

Solution: (x, y) = (2, 29)

In 2 months both Ann's and Malia's hair will be 29 centimeters long.

Let's start with Ann's hair: 23 centimeters + 3 centimeters per month

Malia's hair: 27 centimeters + 1 centimeter per month

Now we can substitute the number of months for "x"

Ann's hair length = 23 + 3x

Malia's hair length = 27 +1x

We know that we want both girls to have the same hair length at the end so we can set these two equations as equal to each other:

23 + 3x = 27 + 1x Subtract 23 from both sides

3x = 4 + 1x Subtract 1x from both sides

2x = 4 Divide by 2

x=2 Now we know it will take 2 months for their hair to be the same length!

Let's plug that in to our original equations:

Ann's hair length = 23 + 3(2) = 29 centimeters

Malia's hair = 27 + 1(2) = 29 centimeters

It will take 2 months for the girls to grow their hair to the same length of 29 centimeters.

As ordered pairs, with x as the number of months, we can use the length of the girls hair as the y value.

At 0 months, Ann's hair is 23 cm and Malia's is 27 cm so the first ordered pairs are (0, 23) and (0, 27).

At 1 month, Ann's hair grows 3 cm and Malia's grows 1 cm so the second pairs are (1, 26) and (1, 28).

Finally, at 2 months Ann's hair is at 29 cm and so is Malia's so the final ordered pair is (2, 29) for both girls.

If you were to draw these equations on a graph, (2, 29) is where the lines would intersect.

Answers

Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

3(x−4)=15x

Use the distributive property to multiply 3 by x−4.

3x−12=15x

Subtract 15x from both sides.

3x−12−15x=0

Combine 3x and −15x to get −12x.

−12x−12=0

Add 12 to both sides. Anything plus zero gives itself.

−12x=12

Divide both sides by −12.

x=

What is 72 Divided by 2= ??

Answers

Answer:

72 / 2 = 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Look at 7 first and figure out how many times 2 will go into 7. 2 will only go into 7 three times. (2 x 3= 6) So put 3 at the top of your division problem and subtract 6 from 7. You should get 1. Then, bring down your 2 to make that one a 12. How many times will 2 go into 12? 6 times. 6 x 2 equals 12 so put 6 at the top of your division problem next to that 3. Subtract your 12 from 12 to get 0. Your final answer would be 36.

Hope this helped!

The division of 72 and 2 is 36.

What is the division?

The division is one of the basic arithmetic operations in math in which a larger number is broken down into smaller groups having the same number of items.

The given numbers are 72 and 2.

72 divided by 2

Here, 72/2

Where, 72 is dividend and 2 is divisor.

72/2 = 36

So, quotient is 36

Therefore, the division of 72 and 2 is 36.

Wil has a coin collection and is currently adding 9 coins per day to his existing number of coins in his collection.After 22 days he has a total of 218 coins. How many coins will he have after 36 days?

Answers

Answer:

344

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of coins added per day in the collection = 9

Number of coins in the collection after 22 days = 218

To find:

Number of coins in the collection after 36 days.

Solution:

First of all, let us find how many coins did he have initially.

Let the number of coins present initially with Wil = [tex]x[/tex]

Number of coins added per day = 9

Number of coins added after 22 days = 22 [tex]\times[/tex] 9 = 198

Therefore,

[tex]x + 198 = 218\\\Rightarrow x = \bold{20}[/tex]

Number of coins present with Wil initially = 20

Number of coins added after 36 days = 36 [tex]\times[/tex] 9 = 324

Total number of coins after 36 days = Number of coins present initially with Will + Number of coins added = 324 + 20 = 344

We will use the KFC method to figure out the answer:

3/5 ÷ 2/1

We keep the first fraction

3/5 ÷ 2/1

Flip the last fraction (swap the numbers)

3/5 ÷ 1/2

Change the sign (to a multiplication symbol)

3/5 x 1/2

Then, finally, to solve for the answer, we multiply across (3 x 1 and 5 x 2).

3 x 1 = 3

5 x 2 = 10

The answer is 3/10 because it cannot be simplified any further.

Write the equation of the line that is perpendicular to y = 3x - r and that has the same y - intercept .

WILL MARK BRAINLIEST

Answers

Answer:

y= -(1/3)x -r

Step-by-step explanation:

a perpendicular line has the slope of the line that it's perpendicular but its the negative reciprocal of it. So for ex: line 1 = 2x then the line perpendicular to it is -1/2x.

In this case, the slope is 3x. The line perpendicular to it therefore, should be -1/3x.

The problem states the line has the same y-intercept so it has to still be -r.

So the equation of the line perpendicular to y=3x-r with the same y-intercept is y=-(1/3)x -r
