Elise says, "If you subtract 17 from my number and multiply the difference by -3, the result is -61."
What is Elise's number?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Elise's number is 112/3.

Step-by-step explanation:

You can form the equation: [tex]\left(x-17\right)\cdot -3=-61[/tex]

Solution: [tex]\frac{\left(x-17\right)\left(-3\right)}{-3}=\frac{-61}{-3}[/tex]

[tex]x-17=\frac{61}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x-17+17=\frac{61}{3}+17[/tex]

x=112/3

Devon wants to write an equation for a line that passes through 2 of the data points he has collected. The points are (8, 5) and (–12, –9). He writes the equation
7x – 10y = 3. Is this a good model? Explain your reasoning.

Answers

Answer:

No. Correct is 7x - 10y = 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of the line is (-9-5)/(-12-8) = 7/10

y - 5 = 7/10(x - 8)

10y - 50 = 7(x - 8)

10y - 50 = 7x - 56

7x - 10y = -50 + 56

7x - 10y = 6.

Answer:  No, it's not a good model

Explanation:

Let's plug in x = 8 and y = 5. This is directly from the ordered pair (8,5).

7x - 10y = 3

7*8 - 10*5 = 3

56 - 50 = 3

6 = 3

We get a false equation at the end, which means the original equation is false when (x,y) = (8,5). Therefore, the point (8,5) is not on the line 7x-10y = 3. Furthermore it means that 7x-10y = 3 is not a good model since Devon wanted the line to pass through both given points.

If you were to plug in (x,y) = (-12,-9), then you would find the same thing happens. For each ordered pair, the left side results in 6. So if Devon were to change that "3" to "6", then it would be a good model as both points would be on the line. In other words, the standard form equation Devon should use is 7x-10y = 6. When solving for y, Devon would get y = (-7/10)x - 3/5

Below is visual confirmation that 7x-10y = 3 is not a good model. Both points are not on the line. The graph was made using GeoGebra.

C=25π

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

First off, divide 24 by 2 as that would give you the radius of the circle

24cm / 2cm = 12cm

Next, use the formula to calculate the circumference of a circle and plug in radius:

C = 2 x π x r

   = 2 x π x 12cm

   = 75.40cm is the circumference

PLEASE HELP ME!!! jacky starts biking to meet up with her friend. she knows that if she bikes at a speed of 10 mph, she will be 3 minutes late. jacky also know that if she bikes at a speed of 12 mph, she will be there 2 minutes before they agree to meet. how much time does she have left before the appointed time?

Answers

Answer:

27s

Step-by-step explanation:

d = distance to rendezvous point in miles

t = time of arrival at 10mph, i.e. 3 mins later than appointed time

10 mph = 10 miles per hour = ¹/₆ miles per min

12 mph = ¹/₅ miles per min

t = d/(¹/₆)

t = 6d

5 min = ¹/₁₂ hr

t - ¹/₁₂ = d/(¹/₅)

t = 5d + ¹/₁₂

Elimination of t:

6d = 5d + ¹/₁₂

d = ¹/₁₂ mi

t = 6(¹/₁₂)

t = ¹/₂ min

Time left to appointed time = ¹/₂ - ³/₆₀

= ¹⁰/₂₀ - ¹/₂₀

= ⁹/₂₀.min → 27 seconds

Answer:

27 min

Henry and his little brother made up a game using coins. They flip the coins towards a cup and receive points for every one that makes it in. Henry starts with 15 points, and his little brother starts with 20 points. Henry gets 3 points for every successful shot, and his brother, since he is younger, gets 2 points for each successful shot. Eventually, the brothers will have a tied score in the game. How many additional shots will each brother have made?
Write a system of equations, graph them, and type the solution.

Answers

Answer:

After 5 additional shots, the brothers will have a tied score.

Step-by-step explanation:

find equations

henry:

y-int is 15 because that is the starting number. the slope is 3 because that is how much his points are increasing for every successful shot. we can use this information to form this equation:

y = 3x + 15

brother:

y-int is 20 because that is the starting number. slope is 3 because that is how many points he gets for each successful shot. using this information, we can form the following equation:

y = 2x + 20

--

solve

y = 3x + 15

y = 2x + 20

3x + 15 = 2x + 20

x + 15 = 20

x = 5

The cost of admission to a festival was $112 for 9 children and 3 adults. The admission was $108 for 8 children and 3 adults in another festival. How much was the admission for each child and adult?

Answers

Answer:

cost of admission for each child was $4.00, and each adult was $25.33

Step-by-step explanation:

When solving questions like these , I like to break down the problem so I understand it better.

Let x ---> cost of the admission for each child

Y ---------> cost of the admission for each adult

9x+3y = 112 ---> equation A

8x + 3y = 108 ---> equation B

Subtract B from A

9x+3y=112

-8x+3y = 108

x = 112-108

x = 4

Find value of y by substituting value of x into equation

9(4)+3y=112

Solve for y

36+3y = 112

3y = 112=36

3y = 76

y = 25.33
