Beth and Pam both did some babysitting in the summer. Pam earned $4 less than 3 times as much as Beth. Together they earned $860. How much money did each person earn babysitting?

Answers

Answer 1
Answers:Beth earned $216Pam earned $644

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

Work Shown:

B = amount Beth earned

P = amount Pam earned

amounts are in dollars

Pam earned $4 less than 3 times as much as Beth, so,

P = 3B-4

Together they earned $860, meaning

P+B = 860

Plug the first equation into the second. Solve for B

P+B = 860

3B-4+B = 860

4B-4 = 860

4B = 860+4

4B = 864

B = 864/4

B = 216

Use this to find P

P = 3B-4

P = 3*216-4

P = 648-4

P = 644

Beth earned $216 and Pam earned $644.

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

Check:

B+P = 860

216+644 = 860

860 = 860

First equation is true

P = 3B-4

644 = 3*216-4

644 = 644

Second equation is true

Both equations are true when (B,P) = (216,644) so the solutions have been confirmed.

Answer:

1st picture: (0,4)

The lines intersect at point (0,4).

2nd picture: Graph D

2x ≥ y - 1

2x - 5y ≤ 10

Set these inequalities up in standard form.

y ≤ 2x + 1

-5y ≤ 10 - 2x → y ≥ -2 + 2/5x → y ≥ 2/5x - 2

When you divide by a negative number, you switch the inequality sign.

Now you have:

y ≤ 2x + 1

y ≥ 2/5x - 2

Looking at the graphs, you first want to find the lines that intersect the y-axis at (0, 1) and (0, -2).

In this case, it is all of them.

Next, you would look at the shaded regions.

The first inequality says the values are less than or equal to. So you look for a shaded region below a line. The second inequality says the values are greater than or equal to. So you look for a shaded region above a line.

That would mean Graph B or D.

Then you look at the specific lines. You can see that the lower line is y ≥ 2/5x - 2. You need a shaded region above this line. You can see the above line is y ≤ 2x + 1. You need a shaded region below this line. That is Graph D.

Answer:

  A) (-4, 1)

  B) graph C

Step-by-step explanation:

A) The point that is in the doubly-shaded area is the solution. The point at (0, 4) is on the dashed line, so is NOT a solution. See the first attachment.

__

B) Look at the given inequalities. You are looking for two things:

which boundary line applieswhich side of that line is shaded

Here, you can identify which line goes with which equation a couple of ways. One way is to look at the x- or y-intercept. To find the x-intercept, set y=0 and solve for x. For the first equation, that gives ...

  2x ≥ -1

  x ≥ -1/2

The steep line, the one that intersects the top of the graph, is the one that has an x-intercept at x = -1/2. You will also note that the solution x ≥ -1/2 means the shading is to the right of that line. (Only graphs C and D have shading to the right of that line.)

For determining which side of the line is shaded, it is useful to pick a variable term with a positive coefficient. For the second inequality, that is 2x. Considering only that term and the relationship in the inequality, we see that we have 2x ≤. This means values of x that are in the solution set are less than (or equal to) those on the boundary line. In other words, shading is to the left of the line with the shallow slope. This is true only for graphs A and C. We have already eliminated graph A, so the desired graph is C.

See the second attachment for what we're talking about here.

[(7^5)(7^3)]^-4

Answers

Answer:

1/7^32

Step-by-step explanation:

when multiplying two bases with different exponents, you keep the base and add the exponents, making the first step of this (7^5)(7^3)=7^8

but when you multiply a base and exponent by just an exponent, you keep the base and multiply the exponents, making the second step 7^8(^-4)=7^-32

you cannot have a negative exponent, and would therefore turn it into a fraction with the base and exponent at the bottom, making your final answer 1/7^32

    -  x²-2x+0 ------------perform subtraction of like terms

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

            9x-5  ----now divide this answer by x-2 ,starting with x and 9x

----------------------This will give , 9 then multiply  9 by x-2 to get 9x-18 and perform the subtraction operation as;

prove cosec 2x + cot 2x = cot x​

Answers

csc(2x) + cot(2x) = 1 / sin(2x) + cos(2x) / sin(2x)

csc(2x) + cot(2x) = (1 + cos(2x)) / sin(2x)

csc(2x) + cot(2x) = (1 + cos(2x)) / (2 sin(x) cos(x))

csc(2x) + cot(2x) = cos²(x) / (sin(x) cos(x))

csc(2x) + cot(2x) = cos(x) / sin(x)

csc(2x) + cot(2x) = cot(x)

Answers

Answer:

Time in hours (x) ==> distance in miles (y)

1 ==> 610

2 ==> 1,220

2.5 ==> 1,525

Note: constant of proportionality is same all through = 610

Step-by-step explanation:

Constant of proportionality = [tex] \frac{y}{x} = \frac{915}{1.5} = 610 [/tex]

To get the y-values (miles) for each given x-value (hours), multiply each x-value by the constant of proportionality, 610. Constant of proportionality is same all through.

Thus,

Time in hours (x) ==> distance in miles (y)

1 ==> 1*610 = 610

2 ==> 2*610 = 1,220

2.5 ==> 2.5*610 = 1,525

Answers

Answer:

Since the points X , Y and Z are collinear:

For the diagram, you just have to draw a line and mark the end-points of the line as X and Z and mark the mid-point of the line as Y

Since we are given that XY = YZ,

We will replace with the provided values:

XY = YZ

4(x + 5) = 2(x + 11)

4x + 20 = 2x + 22

2x = 2

x = 1

Since x = 1 and XY = YZ,

We can say that:

XZ = XY + YZ

XZ = XY + XY   or       XZ = 2XY

Now, replacing the variables for the value of XZ

XZ = 2XY

XZ = 2(4x + 20)

XZ = 2(4 + 20)              (Since x = 1)

XZ = 48 units

UW = 11 + (x - 5)

UW = 11 + (10 - 5)
