Marla noticed that her friend Ron had three times as many pieces of candy as she did. She told him, "If you give me seven pieces of your candy, we'll have exactly the same number of pieces." Ron responded, "I didn't know that until you mentioned it. But I'll make you a deal: If you can show me how to solve this puzzle using algebra, I'll give you the seven pieces. "One minute later, Ron was shocked to see that Marla had solved it perfectly. Can you do the same?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This question seems to be asking for the work, so I put it below.

Anyhow, Marla had 3.5 candies, and Ron had 10.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 3x - 7  (lets set this as "a")   { a = 3x - 7}

x + 7 = 3x -7 + 7

x + 7 = 3x

( x + 7 ) / 3 = 3/3x

( x + 7 ) / 3 = x     =    *(same as "a") {a}

( x + 7 ) / 3 = 3x - 7

( x + 7 ) / 3 * 3 = ( 3x - 7 ) * 3

x + 7 = 9x - 21

x - x + 7 = 9x - x - 21

7 = 8x - 21

7 + 21 = 8x - 21 + 21

28 = 8x

28 / 8 = 8/8x

3.5 = x

We can plug this back into the original equation and find that it is correct because:

x = 3x - 7

x = 3.5  =====

3.5 = 3( 3.5 ) - 7

3.5 = 10.5 - 7

3.5 = 3.5

Answer 2

Answer:

Marla has 7 and Ron has 21

Step-by-step explanation:

lets take

no. of candies Marla has as "x"

and no. of  candies Ron has will be "3x"

Marla says if Ron gives her seven candies, they will have the same no. of candies

so your equation will be -

x + 7 = 3x - 7 (as Marla gets the candy, Ron loses the candy)

3x - x = 7 + 7

2x = 14

∴x = 7

and 3x = 3 x 7 = 21

Step-by-step explanation:

Fine FG , given that line HF is perpendicular bisector or EG

Answers

Answer:

FG = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll begin by calculating HF. This can be obtained by using the pythagoras theory as illustrated below:

EF = 7

EH = 3

HF =?

EF² = EH² + HF²

7² = 3² + HF²

49 = 9 + HF²

Collect like terms

49 – 9 = HF²

40 = HF²

Take the square root of both side

HF = √40

Finally, we shall determine FG. This can be obtained as follow:

GH = 3

HF = √40

FG =.?

FG² = GH² + HF²

FG² = 3² + (√40)²

FG² = 9 + 40

FG² = 49

Take the square root of both side

FG = √49

FG = 7

Answers

Answer:

E

Step-by-step explanation:

Using Pythagoras' identity in the right triangle

s² + s² = 2²

2s² = 4 ( divide both sides by 2 )

s² = 2 ( take the square root of both sides )

s = [tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex]

Answer:

E.

Step-by-step explanation:

we know the diagonal of the square : 2

as you can see in the picture, there is a right-angled triangle with the baseline of Hypotenuse being the diagonal, and 2 times s being the 2 sides.

that means we can use Pythagoras to calculate s :

2² = s² + s²

4 = 2s²

2 = s²

s = sqrt(2)

Answers

Answer:

XN = 22

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall: the Centroid theorem states that the Centroid of a triangle is ⅔ of the distance any vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the side opposite to it.

This implies that:

XN = ⅔(XG)

XG = 33

Substitute

XN = ⅔(33)

The y-intercept of the parent function, f(x), is
I
The y-intercept of the child function, g(x), is

Answers

Answer:

The y-intercept of the parent function, f(x), is 0

The y-intercept of the child function, g(x), is  7

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the parent function passes through the origin, its y-intercept is 0. Once the function is translated 7 units up, its y-intercept is 7.

The solution is :

Vertex is (-2, 0)

y-intercept is 4.

What is vertex?

In geometry, a vertex is a point where two or more curves, lines, or edges meet. As a consequence of this definition, the point where two lines meet to form an angle and the corners of polygons and polyhedra are vertices.

here, we have,

to find the function translated 2 units left, we just need to substitute the 'x' in the equation by 'x+2':

f(x) = (x+2)^2 = x2 + 4x + 4

Then, to find the vertex, we can use the formula:

x_v = -b / 2a

x_v = -4 / 2 = -2

Now, finding the y_vertex, we have:

f(x_v) = (-2)^2 + 4*(-2) + 4 = 0

So the vertex is (-2, 0)

To find the y-intercept, we make x = 0 and then find f(x):

f(0) = 0 + 0 + 4 = 4

So the y-intercept is 4.

You and a friend decide to take a road trip. You drive an average speed of 70 mph and your friend drives an average of 75 mph. You want to drive at least 500 miles per day. You also plan to spend no more than 10 hours driving each day. Which of the following is a system of linear inequalities that represents this situation? Let x = number of hours you drive and let y represent the number of hours your friend will drive.

Answers

Given:

your speed = 70 mph

Your friend's speed = 75 mph

You want to drive at least 500 miles per day.

You also plan to spend no more than 10 hours driving each day.

To find:

The system of linear inequalities that represents this situation.

Solution:

Let x be the number of hours you drive and let y represents the number of hours your friend will drive.

You also plan to spend no more than 10 hours driving each day.

[tex]x+y\leq 10[/tex]

Your speed is 70 mph and your friend's speed is 75 mph. So, the distance covered in x and y hours are 70x miles and 75y miles respectively.

You want to drive at least 500 miles per day. So, the total distance must be greater than or equal to 500.

[tex]70x+75y\geq 500[/tex]

[tex]5(14x+15y)\geq 500[/tex]

Divide both sides by 5.

[tex]14x+15y\geq 100[/tex]

Therefore, the required system of inequalities has two inequalities [tex]x+y\leq 10[/tex] and [tex]14x+15y\geq 100[/tex].

Oak wilt is a fungal disease that infects oak trees. Scientists have discovered that a single tree in a small forest is infected with oak wilt. They determined that they can use this exponential model to predict the number of trees in the forest that will be infected after t years.

1. The scientists believe the forest will be seriously damaged when 21 or more of the forest’s 200 oak trees are infected by oat wilt. According to their model, how many years will it take for 21 of the trees to become infected?

Type the correct answer in the box. Use numerals instead of words. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

2. Rewrite the exponential model as a logarithmic model that calculates the number of years g (x) for the number of infected trees to reach a value of x.

Answers

To solve this question, we need to solve an exponential equation, which we do applying the natural logarithm to both sides of the equation, both to find the needed time and to find the inverse function. From this, we get that:

It will take 7.6 years for 21 of the trees to become infected.The logarithmic model is: [tex]g(x) = \frac{\ln{x}}{0.4}[/tex]

Number of trees infected after t years:

The number of trees infected after t years is given by:

[tex]f(t) = e^{0.4t}[/tex]

Question 1:

We have to find the number of years it takes to have 21 trees infected, that is, t for which:

[tex]f(t) = 21[/tex]

Thus:

[tex]e^{0.4t} = 21[/tex]

To isolate t, we apply the natural logarithm to both sides of the equation, and thus:

[tex]\ln{e^{0.4t}} = \ln{21}[/tex]

[tex]0.4t = \ln{21}[/tex]

[tex]t = \frac{\ln{21}}{0.4}[/tex]

[tex]t = 7.6[/tex]

Thus, it will take 7.6 years for 21 of the trees to become infected.

Question 2:

We have to find the inverse function, that is, first we exchange y and x, then isolate x. So

[tex]f(x) = y = e^{0.4x}[/tex]

[tex]e^{0.4y} = x[/tex]

Again, we apply the natural logarithm to both sides of the equation, so:

[tex]\ln{e^{0.4y}} = \ln{x}[/tex]

[tex]0.4y = \ln{x}[/tex]

[tex]g(x) = \frac{\ln{x}}{0.4}[/tex]

Thus, the logarithmic model is:

[tex]g(x) = \frac{\ln{x}}{0.4}[/tex]

I think you meant to say r ≠ -5, which means r + 5 ≠ 0, so that the denominator is never zero and so the expression is defined (no division by zero). This lets you cancel the factor of r + 5 in the numerator with the one in the denominator:

(4r + 20)/(r + 5) = 4 (r + 5)/(r + 5) = 4
