Meredith is playing games at an arcade to earn tickets that she can exchange for a prize. She has 250 tickets from a previous vi

sit, and she earns 6 tickets for each game she plays. In the equation below, x represents the number of games Meredith plays, and y represents the number of tickets she needs for the prize. y = 6x + 250 If Meredith needs 322 tickets to exchange for the prize she wants, how many games does Meredith need to play?

Considering the definition of equation, the number of games Meredith need to play is 12.

<h3>What is an equation</h3>

An equation in mathematics is defined as an equality established between two expressions, in which there may be one or more unknown values, called unknowns, in addition to certain known data.

The unknown or unknowns represent the number (or numbers), if any, that make the equality true. This unknown number or numbers represent the solution of the equation. So when changing the unknown or unknowns by the solution, the equality must be true.

<h3>Solution in this case</h3>

Meredith is playing games at an arcade to earn tickets that she can exchange for a prize. This is represented by:

y=6x + 250

where:

  • x represents the number of games Meredith plays.
  • y represents the number of tickets she needs for the prize.

Meredith needs 322 tickets to exchange for the prize she wants. This is, y=322.

Replacing in the expression y=6x + 250:

322= 6x + 250

Solving taking into account that:

  • When a value you are adding is passed to another side of the equation, this value will be subtracting.
  • If a value is multiplying it goes to the other side of the equation by dividing.

322 - 250=6x

72= 6x

72÷6= x

<u><em>12= x</em></u>

Finally, the number of games Meredith need to play is 12.

Suppose 15 of the people who voted for dee had not voted at all. How would this change affect the ratio of gene's votes to total
Snezhnost [94]

Gene's votes to Total votes

= Gene's votes: Total votes - 15


Since you did not provide the number of votes, I will give an example.

55 people voted for Dee, 45 people voted for Gene.  This means the Total votes cast was 100.

The ratio of Dee's votes to total votes is: 55:100  ⇒  11:20 <em>when reduced</em>

The ratio of Gene's votes to total votes is: 45:100  ⇒  9:20 <em>when reduced</em>

If 15 people who voted for Dee did not vote, then the total number of voters is 85 so the ratios change as follows:

Dee: (55-15):(100-15)   ⇒   40:85   ⇒   8:17 <em>when reduced</em>

Gene: (45-0):(100-15)   ⇒   45:85  ⇒   9:17 <em>when reduced</em>

Perimeter of a triangle is 27cm,if two sides measure 9cm and 7.8cm,find the measure of third side?
fredd [130]

Answer:

10.2cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter is the sum of the lengths of all sides.

1st side: 9cm

2nd side: 7.8cm

Perimeter: 27cm

Perimeter = 1st + 2nd +3rd side of a triangle

27cm = 9cm +7.8cm + 3rd side

3rd side = 27cm - 9cm -7.8cm

              = 10.2cm

Gravel is being dumped from a conveyor belt at a rate of 15 ft3/min, and its coarseness is such that it forms a pile in the shap
gayaneshka [121]

Answer:

0.13 ft/min

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

\frac{dV}{dt}=15ft^3/min

We have to find the increasing rate of change of height of pile  when the pile is 12 ft high.

Let d be the diameter of pile

Height of pile=h

d=h

Radius of pile,r=\frac{d}{2}=\frac{h}{2}

Volume of pile=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2 h=\frac{1}{12}\pi h^3

\frac{dV}{dt}=\frac{1}{4}\pi h^2\frac{dh}{dt}

h=12 ft

Substitute the values

15=\frac{1}{4}\pi(12)^2\frac{dh}{dt}

\frac{dh}{dt}=\frac{15\times 4}{\pi(12)^2}

\frac{dh}{dt}=0.13ft/min
