Your mother has left you in charge of the annual family yard sale. Before she leaves you to your entrepreneurial abilities, she explains that she has made the job easy for you: everything costs either $1.50 or $3.50. She asks you to keep track of how many of each type of item is sold, and you make a list, but it gets lost sometime throughout the day. Just before she’s supposed to get home, you realize that all you know is that there were 150 items to start with (your mom counted) and you have 41 items left. Also, you know that you made $227.50. Write a system of equations that you could solve to figure out how many of each type of item you sold.

A) x + y = 109
(1.5)x + 227.50 = (3.5)y
B) x + y = 109
(3.5)x + 227.50 = (1.5)y
C) x + y = 41
(1.5)x + 227.50 = (3.5)y
D) x + y = 109
(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50
E) x + y = 150
(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50
F) x + y = $3.50
(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]D)\ x + y = 109\\(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the items sold with price $1.5 = [tex]x[/tex]

Let the items sold with price $3.5 = [tex]y[/tex]

Initially, total number of items = 150

Items left at the end of the day = 41

So, number of items sold throughout the day = Total number of items - Number of items left

Number of Items sold = 150 - 41 = 109

So, the first equation can be written as:

[tex]\bold{x+y = 109} ....... (1)[/tex]

Now, let us calculate the sales done by each item.

Sales from item with price $1.5 = Number of items sold [tex]\times[/tex] price of each item

= (1.5)[tex]x[/tex]

Sales from item with price $3.5 = Number of items sold [tex]\times[/tex] price of each item

= (3.5)[tex]y[/tex]

Total sales = [tex]\bold{(1.5)x+(3.5)y = 227.50} ....... (2)[/tex]

So, the correct answer is:

[tex]D)\ x + y = 109\\(1.5)x + (3.5)y = 227.50[/tex]

4a+2b = 0.07*(4+2)  ...........(2)

Find the missing factor D that makes the equality true -15y^4=(D)(3y^2)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle -15y^4=D(3y^2)[/tex]

And we want to find D such that the equation is true.

So, we can divide both sides by 3y². This will yield:

[tex]\displaystyle D=\frac{-15y^4}{3y^2}[/tex]

We can split this into:

[tex]\displaystyle D=\frac{-15}{3}\cdot\frac{y^4}{y^2}[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

x=-1

Step-by-step explanation:

0.5 ( 5 - 7x ) = 8 - ( 4x + 6 )

- Distribute 0.5 by 5 and -7x

2.5 - 3.5x = 8 - ( 4x + 6 )

Second- Distribute the invisible one into 4x and 6

2.5 - 3.5x = 8 - 4x - 6

- Combine like terms: Subtract 6 from 8

2.5-3.5x= - 4x + 2

-Add 4x from both sides of the equation

2.5 + 0.5x = 2

-Subtract 2.5 from both sides of the equation

0.5x = 2- 2.5

0.5x = -0.5

-Then divide each side by 0.5x

0.5x  = -0.5

0.5      0.5

-Cancel the common factor of 0.5

x = - 0.5

      0.5

-Divide -0.5 by 0.5

X = -1

What are the domain and range of the function? f(x)=−4x√x

Answers

Answer:

Domain x ≥ 0 Range y ≤ 0

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]Domain = \{x\,|\,x\geq 0\}[/tex]

[tex]Range=\{\,y\,|\,y\leq 0\}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice that the Range of the function (x-values for which the function exists) is limited by the possible values of x inside the square root. For [tex]\sqrt{x}[/tex] to exist, x must be larger than or equal to zero ([tex]x\geq 0[/tex])

So this gives us the description for building the Domain (what is called "set builder notation":

[tex]Domain = \{x\,|\,x\geq 0\}[/tex]

Now for the Range, let's look into all the possible values that these  [tex]x\geq 0[/tex] values of x can render:

[tex]x\geq 0\\\sqrt{x} \geq 0\\x\,\sqrt{x} \geq 0[/tex]

but now, if we multiply both sides of the inequality by "-4", the direction of the inequality changes rendering;

[tex]-4\,x\,\sqrt{x} \leq 0[/tex]

Since these are the possible values of the "y-coordinate", then we right the Range in set builder notation as:

[tex]Range=\{\,y\,|\,y\leq 0\}[/tex]

Alan travels eight and two thirds kilometers to get to school. He ran one and ten elevenths kilometers and walked the rest. How many kilometers were left to walk?

Answers

Answer:

4 and 34/63

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that he has to walk 8 and 2 thirds of an kilometer to school. so far he has ran 1 10/11 of a kilo.

To solve this you would have to divide 8 2/3 by 1 10/11.

you would have to make them into improper fractions so 26/3 divided by 21/11

your answer will be 4 34/63

Alan covers he distance by walking is   6+25/33 km.

what is distance?

distance is a scaler quantity which means it only have magnitude and no direction if any person or any thing moves from place A to B then it will show the distance between A and B

Given that Alan's school a distance is 8+2/3 km which is 26/3 km,

and he ran one and ten elevenths kilometers

means 1+10/11 = 21/11 km

and walks rest

let distance covered by walking be x

total distance for Alan school = distance covered by running + distance covered by walking

26/3 = 21/11 +x

x = 26/3 - 21/11

x = 223/33 = 6+25/33

Hence rest walking distance for Alan is 6+25/33

Given,

To find:

Value of a and b in degrees....?

Solution:

☃️ Refer to the trigonometric table....

Then, proceeding

⇛ tan 60 ° = √3

⇛ tan 60° = tan (a + b)

⇛ 60° = a + b

Flipping it,

⇛ a + b = 60° --------(1)

And,

⇛ tan 30° = 1 / √3

⇛ tan 30° = tan (a - b)

⇛ 30° = a - b

Flipping it,

⇛ a - b = 30° ---------(2)

Now adding eq.(1) and eq.(2),

⇛ a + b + a - b = 60° + 30°

⇛ 2a = 90°

⇛ a = 90° / 2

⇛ a = 45°

Putting value of a in eq.(1),

⇛ 45° + b = 60°

⇛ b = 15°

PLZ HELP !!!!!! ASAP!!!

Answers

Part (a)

BC = opposite side (furthest leg from the reference angle)

AB = adjacent side (closest leg from the reference angle)

AC = hypotenuse (always opposite the 90 degree angle)

=============================================

Part (b)

i. False. Angle B is 90 degrees as shown by the square angle marker.

ii. False. Side AB is opposite angle C. Note how "C" is part of "BC", so that means we cannot have BC be opposite C.

iii. True. Leg AB is the closer leg to angle A. We have "A" in "AB" to see this without having to draw the diagram. Refer to part (a) above.

iv. False. The longest side of any right triangle is always the hypotenuse. The longest side of any triangle is always opposite the largest angle.

==============================================

Part (c)

cos(theta) = adjacent/hypotenuse = AB/AC

tan(theta) = opposite/adjacent = BC/AB

Refer back to part (a) to determine the opposite,adjacent and hypotenuse side lengths.

==============================================

Part (d)

The reference angle has changed, so the opposite and adjacent sides swap. The hypotenuse remains the same regardless of what reference angle you pick.

sin(C) = opposite/hypotenuse = AB/AC

cos(C) = adjacent/hypotenuse = BC/AC

tan(C) = opposite/adjacent = AB/BC

Note the tangent ratio is the reciprocal of what we found back in part (c).

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

(a)

The hypotenuse is on line CA (the hypotenuse is always opposite the 90° angle (marked by a little square))

The adjacent is on the line BA (adjacent is next to the given angle, but NOT the hypotenuse)

The opposite is on the line CB (this is opposite the given angle)

(b)

i.   false (b is a right angle)

ii.  false (the side opposite C is BA)

iii. true

iv. false (the side opposite B is the hypotenuse, and the hypotenuse is always the longest side in a triangle)

(c)

cosine ratio: [tex]cos=\frac{adjacent}{hypotenuse}[/tex]

tangent ratio: [tex]tan=\frac{opposite}{adjacent}[/tex]

The cosine and tangent ratios of the given angle:

[tex]cos0=\frac{AB}{CA} \\\\tan0=\frac{CB}{AB}[/tex]

(d)

Remember SOH-CAH-TOA:

Sine=Opposite/Hypotenuse

Cosine=Adjacent/Hypotenuse

Tangent=Opposite/Adjacent

Using the angle C, plug in the appropriate sides:

[tex]sinC=\frac{BA}{CA}\\\\ cosC=\frac{CB}{CA}\\\\ tanC=\frac{BA}{CB}[/tex]

find the number whose 13% is 65.​

Answers

Answer:

=> A = 500

13% of 500 is 65.

Let's check whether the answer is correct or not.
