Answer:

<u>d. 15</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A and C be the initial number of marbles Ali and Cho have, respectively.

We are told that:

A = 3C  [Ali had 3 times as many marbles as cho does]

We then discover that  

C-4 = A-18   [After cho gives 4 marbles to Ali, Ali has 18 more marbles than cho does]

How many more marbles does cho have in the beginning?

We have 2 equations and 2 unknowns (A and C).  That means we can likely rearrange one of the equations and isolate one unknown on the left, and then use that in the second equation.

The first equation already has one of the unknowns isolated (A) so I'll use that in equation 2.

Eq. 1:   A = 3C

Eq. 2:  C-4 = A-18

Use the definition of A from Eq. 1 (=3C) to replace A in Eq. 2:

Eq. 2:  C-4 = <u>A</u>-18

          C-4 = (<u>3C</u>)-18    [Replace A with 3C, as promised in E1q. 1]

        -2C = -14

            C=7

If C = 7, then from Eq. 1,  A = 21

In the beginning, Ali has 21 marbles and Cho has 7.

Cho has 15 more marbles than Ali in the beginning.

a. 5

b. 9

c. 10

<u>d. 15</u>

Brain enjoys hang gliding on his last flight, he jumped off a cliff 520 high he landed 450 from the base of the cliff how far di
belka [17]

Answer:

Brain travelled 687.68 from the cliff.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Height of the cliff = 520

Base of the cliff = 450

The distance will form the hypotenuse of right angled triangle.

Pythagorean theorem states square of hypotenuse of right angled triangle is equal to the sum of squares of base and height of triangle.

Using pythagorean theorem;

a = 520, b=450, c = hypotenuse

a^2+b^2=c^2\\(520)^2+(450)^2=c^2\\270400+202500=c^2\\472900=c^2\\c^2=472900

Taking square root on both sides

\sqrt{c^2}=\sqrt{472900}\\c=687.68

Hence,

Brain travelled 687.68 from the cliff.

An equation in point slope form (2,1) and has a slope of m=2
Svet_ta [14]

Answer:

y=2x-3

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>Since we know that the slope-intercept form is </em><em>y=mx+b</em><em>, we can plug in the formula with what we already know to find b!</em>

<em>In the coordinates (2,1): </em>

  • 2 is the x
  • 1 is the y

<em>Now, we will plug these numbers in:</em>

1=2*2+b

1=4+b

b=-3

<em>Now we can rewrite the equation since we found b:</em>

y=2x-3

Hope this helped! :)

What is the range of the function f(x)=7-3x when the domain is {-4, -2, 0, 2}?
klemol [59]

Answer:

{19,13,7,1}

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the domain is the input we have to plug in each of those numbers to get the range ( or the output.) When we plug in -4 we get 19. When we plug in -2 we get 13, when we plug in 0 we get 7 and when we plug in 2 we get 1. (:
