Ben began peeling a pile of 64 potatoes

Mathematics
1 answer:
klasskru [66]2 years ago

The number of potatoes peeled by Tom was 36 potatoes after peeling a pile of 64 potatoes

<h3>What is an equation?</h3>

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more variables and numbers.

Let t represent the time after Tom joined.

number of potatoes peeled by Ben = 2(5 minutes) + 2t = 2t + 10

number of potatoes peeled by Tom = 4t

Since they are 64 potatoes, hence:

2t + 10 + 4t = 64

t = 9 minutes

number of potatoes peeled by Tom = 4(9) = 36 potatoes

The number of potatoes peeled by Tom was 36 potatoes after peeling a pile of 64 potatoes

If f(x)= 3x squares +1 and g(x) =1-x what is the value of (f-g)(2)
ZanzabumX [31]

Answer: (f-g)(2)=14

Step-by-step explanation:

(f – g) (-2) means the same as subtracting f(2) and g(2). Since we are given f(x) and g(x), we can use them to solve. There are two ways to solve. One is to find f(2) and g(2), and then subtract them. Another way is to do (f-g)(x), then plug in x=2. I will show both methods.

Method 1

f(2)=3(2)²+1                                [exponent]

f(2)=3(4)+1                                  [multiply]

f(2)=12+1                                     [add]

f(2)=13

g(2)=1-(2)                                    [subtract]

g(2)=-1                  

(f-g)(2)=13-(-1)                            [subtract f(2) and g(2)]

(f-g)(2)=14

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

Method 2

(f-g)(x)=3x²+1-(1-x)                     [distribute -1]

(f-g)(x)=3x²+1-1+x                      [combine like terms]

(f-g)(x)=3x²+x

(f-g)(2)=3(2)²+2                         [plug in x=2, exponent]

(f-g)(2)=3(4)+2                           [multiply]

(f-g)(2)=12+2                             [add]

(f-g)(2)=14

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

Now, we know that (f-g)(2)=14. We confirmed this with both methods.

Please help it is math
olasank [31]

Answer:

A linear function has the form y=mx+b

A line has a proportional relationship if y/x is always the same ratio for any value.

The slope m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1) for some two points on a line is always constant, else it wouldn't create a line.

A line won't be proportional if you adapt b because the ratio of y/x won't match the slope anymore.

In the end this means all lines with proportional relationships must intersect (0,0) or in other words f(0)=0.

This happens if they have the shape y=mx.

Step-by-step explanation:

Use the substitution method to solve.<br><br> y=5−3x<br> 5x−4y=−3
Vadim26 [7]
Well just substitute y (the first equation) into the second equation.
So
5x-4(5-3x)=-3
Then just solve the equation from there.
5x-20+12x=-3
17x=17
x=1
and if you need y, y=2

Consider the following system of equations.
Dmitrij [34]

Answer:

C. When the equations -10x + 5y = -60 and -3x − 5y = -5 are added together, a third linear equation, -13x = -65, is formed, and it shares a common solution with the original equations.

Step-by-step explanation:

2x-y=12

-3x-5y=-5

multiply the first equation by -5

-10x +5y = -60

add the 2 equations together

-3x-5y=-5

-10x +5y = -60

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

-13x = -65

We use the addition property of equality which says adding the same thing to both sides, doesn't change the equation, so we will get the same answer as the original equation
