Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]-\frac{41}{36}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

To add or subtract fractions, we need to make their denominators equal. To do so, we find the Least Common Denominator (LCD), then rewrite the fractions in the equation with that denominator.

The LCD of 9 and 12, the denominators, is 36 because [tex]9*4=36[/tex] and [tex]12*3=36[/tex].

Thus:

[tex]-\frac{5*4}{9*4} =-\frac{20}{36}[/tex] and [tex]-\frac{7*3}{12*3} =-\frac{21}{36}[/tex]

Now, add the fractions together.

[tex]-\frac{20}{36} -\frac{21}{36} =-\frac{20+21}{36} =-\frac{41}{36}[/tex]

Thus, the answer is [tex]-\frac{41}{36}[/tex].

A student bought a hot dog and juice for $3.75. If she had bought two hot dogs and three juices she would had paid $9.00. Calculate price of a hot dog and a juice

Answers

Answer:

hot dog= $2.25

juice= $1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the price of a hot dog be $H and that of a juice be $J.

H +J= 3.75 -----(1)

2H +3J= 9 -----(2)

(1) ×2:

2H +2J= 7.5 -----(3)

(2) -(3):

2H +3J -(2H +2J)= 9 -7.5

Expand:

2H +3J -2H -2J= 1.5

J= 1.5

Substitute J= 1.5 into (1):

H +1.5= 3.75

H= 3.75 -1.5

H= 2.25

∴ The price of a hot dog and a juice is $2.25 and $1.50 respectively.

1. The ratio of children to adults at a swimming pool is 8:3. If there are 40 children at the pool, how many people are at the pool?​

Answers

Answer:

55

Step-by-step explanation:

You multiply 5 on both sides of the ratio, and you get 40 children : 15 adults. Adding that up, you would get 55 people.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios.  The given ratio is 8:3.  The number of children is 40 and that of adults is 40 - c.  Note that c + (40 - c) = 40.

Solve the following equation of ratios for c:         8        40

                                                                               ---- = ----------

                                                                                3          a

Cross multiplying, we get 8a = 120, of 15.  Then a = number of adults = 24.

Here a = 15 and c = 40.  Check the ratio 40/15; does it equal 8/3?  YES

The total number of people at the pool is 40 + 24, or 64

Find the average rate of change of the functionf(x)=(12)x+12 over the interval [0, 1]

Answers

We know that f(x) = 12x + 12

f(1) = 12 * 1 + 12= 24

f(0) = 12*0 + 12 = 12

The formula of the average rate of change is : f(1) - f(0)  /  (1 - 0)

(24 - 12) / 1 = 12/1 = 12

So the average rate of change is 12

(Graph is attached for you⤴⤴⤴)

Step-by-step explanation:

Line m ordered pairs = (-4,-32), (2,4),

(5, 22)

Line n ordered pairs = (-5,12), (1,3), (5,-3)

Use this formula⤵⤵⤵

[tex] \frac{y _{2} - y _{1} }{x _{2} - x _{1} } [/tex]

For line m, we'll use (2,4) and (5,22):

22 - 4 = 18

5 - 2 = 3

18 ÷ 3 = 6

Slope of line m = 6

For line n, we'll use (1,3) and (5,-3):

-3 - 3 = -6

5 - 1 = 4

Slope of line n = -6/4 or -3/2

We'll turn all the options to slope-intercept form, so we can tell which has the slopes we need.

A) - Subtract 6x on both sides to get

-y = -6x + 8, then flip all the signs to get y = 6x - 8.

- Subtract 3x on both sides to get 2y = -3x + 9, then divide 2 on both sides to get y = -3/2 x + 9/2.

B)

- Subtract 6x on both sides to get

y = -6x - 8.

- Subtract 3x on both sides to get

-2y = -3x + 9, then divide -2 on both sides to get y = -3/2 x - 9/2.

C)

- Add 6x on both sides to get -y = 6x - 8, then flip all signs to get y = -6x + 8.

- Add 3x on both sides to get 2y = 3x + 9, then divide 2 on both sides to get

y = 3/2 x + 9/2.

D)

- Subtract 6x on both sides to get

-y = -6x - 8, then flip all signs to get

y = 6x + 8.

- Add 3x on both sides to get -2y = 3x + 9, then divide -2 on both sides to get

The total cost of 2 bracelets and 3 necklaces is $15.50. The total cost of 4 bracelets and 1 necklace is $13.50. Let b
represent the number of bracelets and n represent the number of necklaces. This situation can be represented by
the system of equations below.

Answers

Answer:

2b + 3n = £15.50

4b + 1n = £13.50

2 ( 2b + 3n =  15.50 )

4b + 6n = 31.00

 

    4b + 6n =  31.00

-    4b +  1n = 15.50

            5n  = 15.50

              n  =  3.1

subtitue n in to the equation

2b + 9.3 = £15.50

2b          = £6.20

b             = 3.10p

Step-by-step explanation:

both the bracelets and necklace cost £3.10

The cost of one bracelet is $2.50

How much is the cost of one bracelet?

b = cost of the bracelet

n = costs of necklace

⇒ 2b + 3n = 15.50

⇒ 4b+1n = 13.50

Multiply the first equation by -2

⇒ -4b - 6n = -31

⇒ 4b + n = 13.50

---------------------------

-5n = -17.50

--------------------------

Divide each side by -5

⇒ -5n / -5 = -17.5 / -5

⇒ n = 3.50

Now we can find b

⇒ 4b + n = 13.50

⇒ 4b + 3.50 = 13.50

⇒ 4b + 3.50 - 3.50 = 13.50 -3.50

⇒ 4b = 10

Divide by 4

⇒ 4b / 4 = 10/4

b = 2.50

The cost of one bracelet is $2.50.

On Tuesday at 2 p.m., the ocean’s surface at the beach was at an elevation of 2.2 feet. Winston’s house is at an elevation of 12.1 feet. The elevation of his friend Tammy’s house is times the elevation of Winston’s house.

Part A
How many times greater is the elevation of Winston’s house than the elevation of the ocean’s surface at 2 p.m.?

Part B
What is the elevation of Tammy’s house?

Part C
How many times greater is the elevation of Tammy’s house than the elevation of the ocean’s surface at 2 p.m.?

Part D
On Wednesday at 9 a.m., Winston went diving. Near the beach, the ocean’s surface was at an elevation of -2.5 feet. During his deepest dive, Winston reached an elevation that was times the elevation of the ocean’s surface. What elevation did Winston reach during his dive

Part E
While diving, Winston stopped at a point located halfway between his deepest dive and the ocean’s surface. At what elevation was Winston when he stopped halfway?

Answers

Part A.)

12.1 / 2.2 = 5.5

So, the elevation of Winston's house is 5.5 times greater than the elevation of the ocean at 2 p.m.

Part B.)

My apologies if any of the following equations is not the right number, I had looked up the equation for the right number.

12.1 x 3.5 = 42.35

So the elevation of Tammy's house is 42.35.

Part C.)

42.35 / 2.2 = 19.25

the elevation of Tammy's house is 19.25 times greater than the elevation of the ocean.

Part D.)

Had to look for the number again. Next time, could you possibly make sure that all of the numbers are here? It makes it a lot easier.

-2.5 x 20.2 = -50.5

Winston reached an elevation of -50.5 feet.

Part E.)

-50.5 / 2 = -25.25

He had stopped at -25.25.

Again, my apologies if some numbers are incorrect. You did not give them, so I went looking for them.

The measure of an angle is 22° greater than it’s complement. Find the angle

Answers

Answer:

56

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the angle be " x ".

Complement of the angle = ( x - 22 )

To find : x = ?

x + x - 22 = 90

2x - 22 = 90

2x = 90 + 22

2x = 112

x = 112 / 2

x = 56

Therefore, the angle is 56.

The sum of the measure of the angles in triangle ABC is 180 degrees. The sum of the measures of angle B and angle C is twice the measure of angle A. The measure of angle B is 32 degrees less than the measure of angle C.

Answers

Answer:

[tex]a=60\\b=44\\c=76[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write these equations to represent the problem:

[tex]a+b+c=180\\b+c=2a\\b=c-32[/tex]

Now, just solve it as a system of equations. I'll solve by substitution, starting from the bottom as b is already defined there.

[tex]b=c-32\\b+c=2a\\(c-32)+c=2a\\c+c-32=2a\\2c-32=2a\\a=c-16[/tex]

That's the middle equation done, now I'll do the top one:

[tex]b=c-32\\a+b+c=180\\a+(c-32)+c=180\\a+2c-32=180\\a+2c=212\\a=-2c+212[/tex]

Now we have just 2 equations with 2 variables. That's another system of equations, but this one is much easier to solve. Using substitution again:

[tex]a=c-16\\a=-2c+212\\c-16=-2c+212\\3c-16=212\\3c=228\\c=76[/tex]

Finally, we have one variable solved. Using the value of C, now we can solve for A:

[tex]c=76\\a=c-16\\a=76-16\\a=60[/tex]

Thats 2 done. Now, pick any equation that has all 3 variables and solve for B:

[tex]a=60\\c=76\\a+b+c=180\\60+b+76=180\\b+136=180\\b=44[/tex]

All 3 variables done.

[tex]a=60\\b=44\\c=76[/tex]

Now, we can confirm that they're correct by checking with the original equations:

[tex]a+b+c=180\\60+44+76=180\\180=180\\\\b+c=2a\\44+76=2(60)\\120=120\\\\b=c-32\\44=76-32\\44=44[/tex]

They all work fine.


Select the final image of AABC after the given sequences of transformations. Translate AABC by (4,4),
rotate 90° counterclockwise around A, and reflect over the y-axis.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

given A(-1, 2), B(-3, 4), C(-2, 5)

after translating by (4, 4)

points are A(-1 + 4, 2 + 4),  B(-3 + 4, 4 + 4), C(-2 + 4, 5 + 4)

A(3, 6), B(1, 8), C(2, 9)

to rotate 90° counter clockwise (x, y) ----> (-y, x)

now it is rotated around point A(3, 6).That means A remains same and we need to find new coordinates of B and C.  To find B and C let us make origin as A and find B ,C coordinates from it.

B'(1 - 3, 8 - 6) = (-2, 2)

C'(2 - 3, 9 - 6) = (-1, 3)

now it becomes (-y, x)

B'(-2, -2)

C'(-3, -1)

now we have to move origin from (3,6) to (0,0) again.

so B'(-2 + 3, -2 + 6) = (1, 4)

C'(-3 + 3 , -1 + 6) = (0, 5)

now reflection over y axis means (x, y) --> (-x, y)

A'(-3, 6)

B'(-1, 4)

C'(0, 5)

it is different from the options

but this is the process, tell me if you find any step different from the question
