Answer is 12
Reason
Combine like terms
3x + 99 x = 1224
102x = 1224
Now solve for x
Divide both sides by 102
x= 12

Logan is making bookmarks that contain flower petals. He has 95 petals. He uses 3 flower petals for each bookmark. What is the G

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer: The GREATEST number of bookmarks that Logan can make = 31.

Step-by-step explanation:

GIven: Total petals = 95

Number of petals required for each bookmark = 3

Number the number of bookmarks can be prepared from 95 petals = 95 ÷ (Petals required of each bookmark)

= 95÷3

$=31\dfrac{2}{3}\ \ \ \approx31\text{ [Round to the nearest whole number.]}$

i.e. The GREATEST number of bookmarks that Logan can make = 31.

You want to get from a point A on the straight shore of the beach to a buoy which is 54 meters out in the water from a point B o

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

$x =\dfrac{45 \sqrt{6}}{ 2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

The diagrammatic interpretation of what the question is all about can be seen in the diagram attached below.

Now, let V(x) be the time needed for the runner to reach the buoy;

∴ We can say that,

$\mathtt{V(x) = \dfrac{70-x}{7}+\dfrac{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}{5}}$

In order to estimate the point along the shore, x meters from B, the runner should stop running and start swimming if he want to reach the buoy in the least time possible, then we need to differentiate the function of V(x) and relate it to zero.

i.e

The differential of V(x) = V'(x) =0

= $\dfrac{d}{dx}\begin {bmatrix} \dfrac{70-x}{7} + \dfrac{\sqrt{54^2+x^2}}{5} \end {bmatrix}= 0$
