Answer:

54 inches

Explanation:

From the question, we have that:

1 yard = 3 inches

We are to find the equivalent value of 18 yards in inches. This can be expressed as:

18 yards = x

where x is the unknown value.

Get the value of x by dividing both equations:

$\frac{1}{18}=\frac{3}{x}$

Cross multiply

$\begin{gathered} 1\times x=3\times18 \\ \\ x=54 \end{gathered}$

This shows that there are 54 inches in 18 yards

There are 1000 Times more people on earth right now than there was in 4,000 BCE. It's just 7billion divided by 7million.

Solve the system of equations

rewona [7]

Answer:

x = 1/4

y = -1/2

z = 9/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Here we have a system of 3 equations with 3 variables:

4*x + 2*y + 1 = 1

2*x - y = 1

x + 3*y + z = 1

The first step to solve this, is to isolate one of the variables in one of the equations, let's isolate "y" in the second equation:

2*x - y = 1

2*x - 1 = y

Now that we have an expression equivalent to "y", we can replace this in the other two equations:

4*x + 2*(2*x - 1) + 1 = 1

x + 3*(2*x - 1) + z = 1

Now let's simplify these two equations:

8*x - 1 = 1

7*x - 3 + z = 1

Now, in the first equation we have only the variable x, so we can solve that equation to find the value of x:

8*x - 1 = 1

8*x = 1 + 1 = 2

x = 2/8 = 1/4

Now that we know the value of x, we can replace this in the other equation to find the value of z.

7*(1/4) -3 + z = 1

7/4 - 3 + z = 1

z = 1 + 3 - 7/4

z = 4 - 7/4

z = 16/4 - 7/4 = 9/4

z = 9/4

Now we can use the equation y = 2*x - 1 and the value of x to find the value of y:

y = 2*(1/4) - 1

y = 2/4 - 1

y = 1/2 - 1

y = -1/2

Then the solution is:

x = 1/4

y = -1/2

z = 9/4

Lucas used the number sentence 8 x 2 = 16 to solve a problem. Which problem could he have solved?

4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

Word problem 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Word Problem one is a subtraction problem since Felicia is giving away two marbles to Lucas. Word Problem two is a division problem since Felicia is evenly dividing the number of marbles she has into two bags. Word Problem three is a multiplication problem because Ryan has two times as many marbles that Felicia does. Word Problem four is an addition problem because she found two more marbles while she already has eight marbles. Keywords for subtraction word problems are: fewer than, decrease, take away, less than, minus, difference, change, lost reduced, and subtract. Keywords for division word problems are: As much, cut up, groups, equally, sharing, half, how many in each, parts, per percent, quotient, ratio, and separated. Keywords for multiplication word problems are: double, every, factor, increased, multiplied product, times, and tripled.

The lines y1 = 2x - 6, y2 = -3x + 4, y3 = -1/2x + 4 are the sides of a right triangle. Find the perimeter and area of the triang

sergiy2304 [10]

The area and perimeter of the triangle is 2/5 square units and (2√10 + 4√5) / 5 units

<h3>Perimeter and area of the triangle giving the equation of a line</h3>

First we will plot the giving lines, determine the point of intersection and then use the Pythagoras theorem to determine the dimension of the right triangle.

From the given equation of the lines, the points of intersection of the line are (x₁, y₁) = (- 0.4, 5.2), (x₂, y₂) = (-0.8, 4.4) and (x₃, y₃) = (0, 4)

For the base

b² = c² -a²

b = √(-0.8)² + (4 - 4.4)²

b = 2√5 / 5

For the height

h = √((- 0.4) - (- 0.8))² + (5.2 - 4.4)²

height = 2√5 / 5

For the hypotenuse

r = √2 · b

r = 2√10 / 5

<h3>Determine the Perimeter and area</h3>

Perimeter = s1+s2+s3

Perimeter = 2√5 / 5 + 2√5 / 5 + 2√10 / 5

Perimeter = (2√10 + 4√5) / 5 units

area = 1/2* base * height

A = 0.5 · (2√5 / 5) · (2√5 / 5)

A = 2/5 square units

Hence the area and perimeter of the triangle is 2/5 square units and (2√10 + 4√5) / 5 units
