You have to multiply 19.50 x 9 = 175.5

Hi there!

To solve this problem, we need to multiply the cost of each book by the amount of books Wally bought.

$19.50 × 9 = $175.50

So, the total amount payed was $175.50.

Hope this helps!

If ab= 7x-6 and bc= 12-2x. Then what does ac equal?

ra1l [238]

Ab = (7x-6) → b = (7x-6)/a (1)

bc = (12-2x) → b = (12-2x)/c (2)

Since (1) = (2) → (7x-6)/a = (12-2x)/c OR a/c = (7x-6)/(12-2x) (3)

Multiply both numerators of (3) by the SQUARE of their respective denominators;

(a*c²)/c = (7x-6)(12-2x)²/(12-2x)
Now simplify:

ac = (7x-6)(12x-2x) or ac = -14x² + 96x - 72

Convert 1.46 radian angle into degrees. Round decimal answers to nearest tenth. Use 3.14 for pi.

natulia [17]

Answer:

83.7°

Step-by-step explanation:

180° : pi

180 : 3.14

X : 1.46

180/3.14 = X/1.46

X = 1.46 × 180/3.14

X = 83.6942675159

X = 83.7°

The equation P= 21 + 2w models the perimeter, P, of a rectangle with a length of / units and a width of w units.

natima [27]

Answer:

width = 10 units and length = 20 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the width be w

so Length will be 2w

using the rectangle formula:

$\sf Perimeter \ of \ rectangle= 2L + 2W$

$\sf 60= 2(2w) + 2w$

$\sf 60= 4w + 2w$

$\sf 60= 6w$

$\sf w = 10 \ units$

Find length:

$\sf length = 2w$

$\sf length = 2(10)$

$\sf length = 20 \ units$

Consider the three points ( 1 , 3 ) , ( 2 , 3 ) and ( 3 , 6 ) . Let ¯ x be the average x-coordinate of these points, and let ¯ y

loris [4]

Answer:

$m=\dfrac{3}{2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given points are: ( 1 , 3 ) , ( 2 , 3 ) and ( 3 , 6 )

The average of x-coordinate will be:

$\overline{x} = \dfrac{x_1+x_2+x_3}{\text{number of points}}$

1) Finding $(\overline{x},\overline{y})$

Average of the x coordinates:

$\overline{x} = \dfrac{1+2+3}{3}$

$\overline{x} = 2$

Average of the y coordinates:

similarly for y

$\overline{y} = \dfrac{3+3+6}{3}$

$\overline{y} = 4$

2) Finding the line through $(\overline{x},\overline{y})$ with slope m.

Given a point and a slope, the equation of a line can be found using:

$(y-y_1)=m(x-x_1)$

in our case this will be

$(y-\overline{y})=m(x-\overline{x})$

$(y-4)=m(x-2)$

$y=mx-2m+4$

this is our equation of the line!

3) Find the squared vertical distances between this line and the three points.

So what we up till now is a line, and three points. We need to find how much further away (only in the y direction) each point is from the line.

Distance from point (1,3)

We know that when x=1, y=3 for the point. But we need to find what does y equal when x=1 for the line?

we'll go back to our equation of the line and use x=1.

$y=m(1)-2m+4$

$y=-m+4$

now we know the two points at x=1: (1,3) and (1,-m+4)

to find the vertical distance we'll subtract the y-coordinates of each point.

$d_1=3-(-m+4)$

$d_1=m-1$

finally, as asked, we'll square the distance

$(d_1)^2=(m-1)^2$

Distance from point (2,3)

we'll do the same as above here:

$y=m(2)-2m+4$

$y=4$

vertical distance between the two points: (2,3) and (2,4)

$d_2=3-4$

$d_2=-1$

squaring:

$(d_2)^2=1$

Distance from point (3,6)

$y=m(3)-2m+4$

$y=m+4$

vertical distance between the two points: (3,6) and (3,m+4)

$d_3=6-(m+4)$

$d_3=2-m$

squaring:

$(d_3)^2=(2-m)^2$

3) Add up all the squared distances, we'll call this value R.

$R=(d_1)^2+(d_2)^2+(d_3)^2$

$R=(m-1)^2+4+(2-m)^2$

4) Find the value of m that makes R minimum.

Looking at the equation above, we can tell that R is a function of m:

$R(m)=(m-1)^2+4+(2-m)^2$

you can simplify this if you want to. What we're most concerned with is to find the minimum value of R at some value of m. To do that we'll need to derivate R with respect to m. (this is similar to finding the stationary point of a curve)

$\dfrac{d}{dm}\left(R(m)\right)=\dfrac{d}{dm}\left((m-1)^2+4+(2-m)^2\right)$
