Amanda is playing her new video game, Track Runner. At first, she earned 20 points for winning a sprint. Then in the next race, she got – 25 points when she knocked over most of her hurdles. What is Amanda's total score now? To solve the problem, Amy added 20+( – 25) and came up with an answer of 5 points. Is Amy correct? Why or why not?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: Amy is incorrect. The answer is -5 points.

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question, we are informed that Amanda earned 20 points for winning a sprint in the first race but got -25 points in the second race.

Based on the information above, Amanda's total score now will be:

= 20 + (-25)

= 20 - 25

= -5

The answer is -5 points.

Amy is wrong because (+) × (-) = (-)

Answer: The eldest child received $465,000, the middle child received $13,000, and the youngest received $93,000.

Step-by-step explanation: Subtracting $13,000 from $571,09 leaves the youngest and eldest’s money, $558,000. Dividing the amount left by 6 gives you the youngest siblings check and a total of $93,000. To find how much the eldest receives, you subtract $93,000 from $558,000 leaving the eldest $465,000.

kim is 10 years older than laura. laura is twice as old as melissa. if melissa will be 1o years old in 5 years, how old is kim now

Answers

Answer:

Kim is 20 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to make equations;

Kim= laura+10 so L+10

Laura is twice as old as Melissa so Laura will be

2 X M = 2M

Melissa is 5 years old now

Input values in to the equation

2M = 2X5= 10 years old (Laura)

As Kim is 10 years older than Laura it will be 10+10

which will give the answer of 20

The age of Kim is 20 years.

What is Equation?

Equations are mathematical statements containing two algebraic expressions on both sides of an 'equal to (=)' sign. It shows the relationship of equality between the expression written on the left side with the expression written on the right side. In every equation in math, we have, L.H.S = R.H.S (left hand side = right hand side).

Parts of an Equation

There are different parts of an equation which include coefficients, variables, operators, constants, terms, expressions, and an equal to sign. When we write an equation, it is mandatory to have an "=" sign, and terms on both sides. Both sides should be equal to each other. An equation doesn't need to have multiple terms on either of the sides, having variables, and operators. An equation can be formed without these as well, for example, 5 + 10 = 15. This is an arithmetic equation with no variables. As opposed to this, an equation with variables is an algebraic equation.

Kim's age = laura' age +10 years  

= x +10

As, Laura is twice as old as Melissa

Laura's age = 2*y

Now, Melissa is 5 years old now

So,

2y = 2X5= 10 years old

So, the Kim's age= 10+ 10 = 20 years old

If the side of an equilateral triangle is 3.5cm. Perimeter od triangle is _____ cm.​

Answers

If the side of an equilateral triangle is 3.5cm. Perimeter od triangle is 10.5_ cm.

Answer: Perimeter = 10.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Concept:

Here, we need to know what is an equilateral triangle.

An equilateral triangle is a triangle in which all three sides have the same length.

Perimeter = 3a

a = side length

If you are still confused, please refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

a = 3.5 cm

Given formula

Perimeter = 3a

Substitute the value into the formula

Perimeter = 3 (3.5)

Simplify

Perimeter = 10.5 cm

The diagram above shows a plan for a park. ABCD is a rectangle.
APB and DQC are semicircles centred at X and Y.
Given AB = 7 cm and AC = 25 cm.
Calculate the perimeter of the park in cm.​

Answers

Answer:

Perimeter of the park = 70 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the park = perimeter of the 2 semicircles + 2(length of the rectangle)

Perimeter = 2πr + 2(BC)

✔️Perimeter of the 2 semicircles = 2πr

Where,

radius (r) = ½(AB) = ½(7)

r = 3.5 cm

Perimeter = 2*π*3.5 = 7*π

Perimeter of the two semicircles = 21.9911486 ≈ 22 cm

✔️Find BC using Pythagorean theorem:

Thus,

BC = √(AC² - AB²)

AC = 25

AB = 7

BC = √(25² - 7²) = √576

BC = 24

✔️Perimeter of the park = perimeter of the 2 semicircles + 2(length of the rectangle)

Perimeter of the park = 22 + 2(24)

= 22 + 48

There are 50 teenagers at a swim meet. The ratio of locals to out-of-town

participants is 2:3. How many teenagers travelled from out-of-town to the swim

meet?

Answers

Answer:

There are 30 out of towners

Step-by-step explanation:

locals: out of town: total

2            3                     2+3 = 5

There are 50 total 50/5 =10 so multiply each term by 10

locals: out of town: total

2*10        3 *10              5*10

20                 30             50

There are 30 out of towners

Total teenagers = 50

Ratio = 2:3

Let the ratio people out of town be x

2x + 3x = 50

5x = 50

x = 10

Therefore 3× 10, 30 people out of town travelled to swim meet

The Oxy coordinate plane for two parallel lines a and a' has the equations 2x - 3y-1 = 0 and 2x - 3y + 5 = 0. respectively. Which vector translation to convert a to a'

Answers

Answer:

Remember that a vector translation can be written as:

T(a, b)

And if we apply this to a random point, (x, y), the translation gives:

T(a, b)(x, y) = (x + a, y + b)

now, remember that a general line can be written as:

y = m*x + s

Then a point of that line can be written as: (x, m*x + s)

Then if we apply the translation to a point in the line, we get:

T(a, b)(x, m*x + s) = (x + a, m*x + s + b)

Here we have two lines:

2x - 3y - 1 = 0

2x - 3y + 5 = 0

First, let's rewrite both of these in the slope-intercept form:

y = (2/3)*x - 1/3

y = (2/3)*x + 5/3

Now let's assume that we apply a translation to the first line, that has points of the form (x,  (2/3)*x - 1/3), such that we want to get points of the form:

(x, (2/3)*x + 5/3).

Then we must have:

T(a, b)(x,  (2/3)*x - 1/3) = (x + a,  (2/3)*x - 1/3 + b) = (x, (2/3)*x + 5/3).

Then we need to solve:

(x + a,  (2/3)*x - 1/3 + b) = (x, (2/3)*x + 5/3).

This means that:

x + a = x

(2/3)*x - 1/3 + b = (2/3)*x + 5/3

From the first equation, we can see that a = 0

Now we can solve the second one to find the value of b.

(2/3)*x - 1/3 + b = (2/3)*x + 5/3

subtracting (2/3)*x in both sides, we get:

-1/3 + b = 5/3

b = 5/3 + 1/3

b = 6/3 = 2

b = 2

Then the vector translation is:

T(0, 2)

So it moves the whole line 2 units upwards.

Ariana is a songwriter who collects royalties on her songs whenever they are played in a commercial or a movie. Ariana will earn $40 every time one of her songs is played in a commercial and she will earn $110 every time one of her songs is played in a movie. Ariana earned a total of $500 in royalties on 9 commercials and movies. Write a system of equations that could be used to determine the number of commercials and the number of movies on which Ariana's songs were played. Define the variables that you use to write the system.

Answers

Answer:

Commercials x = 7

Movies y = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Let commercials = x

Let's movies = y

$40 is for commercials

$110 is for movies.

Commercials plus movies for the Year = 9

She earned total of $500

X+ y = 9..... equation 1

40x + 110y = 500.... Equation 2

Multipling equation one by 40

40x + 40y = 360

Subtracting equation one from equation 2

70y = 140

Y = 2

If y = 2

X + y = 9

X + 2 = 9

X = 9-2

X = 7

What is the surface area of the cube, in square inches?

Answers

Answer:

The surface area of the cube is 648.96 sq in.

Step-by-step explanation:

This problem is made a lot easier by the fact that it's a cube.

So we first calculate the area of one of the faces. The length of the side of the side is 10.4 inches, and 10.4 * 10.4 = 100.16.

There are six faces, so we multiply the area of 1 face by 6. 100.16 * 6 = 648.96.

Therefore, the surface area of the cube is 648.96 sq inches.
