Xanthia can read 100 pages per hour and Molly can read 50 pages per hour. If they each read the same book, and the book has 225

Talja [164]

Answer:

135 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

y -----> the number of pages to finish reading the book

x ----> the number of hours

we know that

The linear equation in slope intercept form is equal to

$y=mx+b$

where

m is the unit rate or slope of the linear equation

b is the y-intercept or initial value

In this problem we have

Xanthia

$m=100\ pages/hour$

$b=225\ pages$

$y=-100x+225$ ----> the slope is negative because is a decreasing function

For y=0

substitute and solve for x

$0=-100x+225$

$100x=225$

$x=2.25\ hours$ ---> Xanthia's time to finish reading the book

Molly

$m=50\ pages/hour$

$b=225\ pages$

$y=-50x+225$ ----> the slope is negative because is a decreasing function

For y=0

$0=-50x+225$

$50x=225$

$x=4.5\ hours$ --- Molly's time to finish reading the book

To find out how many more minutes than Xanthia would it take for Molly to finish reading the book, subtract Xanthia's time from Molly's time

$4.5\ h-2.25\ h=2.25\ h$

Convert to minutes

Multiply by 60

$2.25\ h=2.25(60)=135\ minutes$

X/3/4 = 100 what does x equal

Crank

Answer:

x=1200

Step-by-step explanation:

x/3/4=100

Step 1: Multiply both sides by 4.

x/3/4=100

(x/3/4)*(4)=(100)*(4)

x/3=400

Step 2: Multiply both sides by 3.

3*(3/x)=(3)*(400)

x=1200

Help me please by solving and showing the steps:)

Lorico [155]

Answer:

$-\frac{3\sqrt[3]{t} }{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

1: Write g(t) as y, resulting in $y=-\frac{8}{27}t^3$

2: Interchange the variables y and t, resulting in $t=-\frac{8}{27}y^3$

3: Multiply both sides by 27, resulting in $27t=-8y^3$

4: Divide both sides by -8, resulting in $-\frac{27t}{8}=y^3$

5: Find the cube root of both sides, resulting in $\sqrt[3]{-\frac{27t}{8} }=y$

6: Apply a radical rule, resulting in $-\sqrt[3]{\frac{27t}{8} } =y$

7: Apply another radical rule, resulting in $-\frac{\sqrt[3]{27t} }{\sqrt[3]{8} } =y$

8: Simplify the denominator, resulting in $-\frac{\sqrt[3]{27t} }{2} =y$

9: Apply yet another radical rule, resulting in $-\frac{\sqrt[3]{27}\sqrt[3]{t} }{2} =y$

10: Simplify $\sqrt[3]{27}$ , resulting in $-\frac{3\sqrt[3]{t} }{2} =y$

What is the solution to the following equation?

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

D. x = 7

Step-by-step explanation:

NOTE : there should be an equal sign somewhere in the given expression.

suppose the equation is the following:

3(x-4)-5 = x-3

………………………………………………………

3(x - 4) - 5 = x - 3

⇔ 3x - 12 - 5 = x - 3

⇔ 3x - 17 = x - 3

⇔ 3x - 17 + 17= x - 3 + 17

⇔ 3x = x + 14

⇔ 2x = 14

⇔ x = 14/2

⇔ x = 7

Someone please help me with problem #7 !!!

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer: b and d

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the roots are x=2 and x=6, we can write the equation as

$f(x)=a(x-2)(x-6)$

Substituting in the coordinates of the vertex,

$-4=a(4-2)(4-6)\\\\-4=-4a\\\\a=1$

So, the equation is $f(x)=(x-2)(x-6)$

On expanding, we get $f(x)=x^2 - 8x+12$
