Renna pushed the button for the elevator to go up, but it would not move. The weight limit for the elevator is 450 kilograms, bu

t the current group of passengers weighs a total of 750 kilograms. Renna wants to determine how many 70 kilogram passengers need to get off the elevator.
Let p represent the number of excess passengers. Write an inequality to determine the number of passengers who need to get off the elevator to meet the weight requirement.

The answer is really 5 and the inequality is 750-70p≤450. 750−70p

750−750−70p

−70p

−70

Here is the solution based on the given situation above.
Given: 450 kg = weight limit of the elevator
           750 kg = current weight of the group of passengers
           ? = number of passengers who weigh 70 kgs that need to get off the elevator
So to get the answer, first we need to deduct 450kg from 750 kgs to get the excess weight. So 750 - 450 is 300kgs. Next, we divide 300 by 70kgs to get the number of passengers that need to get off so 300/70 is 4.3. Therefore, there should be 4 passengers who weigh 70 kilograms that need to get off the elevator.

Given;

ABCDE is similar to VWXYZ

so, the corresponding segments are proportional

We need to find the length of XY

XY is corresponding to CD

CD = 1.2 cm

Finding another two corresponding sides

DE = 3.2 cm , YZ = 4 cm

so,

\begin{gathered} \frac{XY}{CD}=\frac{YZ}{DE} \\  \\ \frac{XY}{1.2}=\frac{4}{3.2} \\  \\ XY=\frac{4}{3.2}\cdot1.2=1.5\operatorname{cm} \end{gathered}

So, the length of XY = 1.5 cm

Find the midpoint of segment LK with endpoints L(-2, 4) and K(5,3).
fenix001 [56]
Answer: (1.5, 3.5)

Explanation:
Find the slope by using the coordinates for points L and K.

3 - 4 = -1
5 - (-2) = 7
Slope = -1/7

Then you plot your points on the graph.
But you want to half your slope to find the midpoint. So your slope would now be -0.5/3.5.

And when you follow that slope, you will plot down the coordinate (1.5, 3.5), which is the midpoint.

Hope this helped! :3

Use the zero product property to find the solutions to the equation x2 – 13x + 30 = 0.
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

<u>The solutions to this quadratic equation are 10 and 3.</u>

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's recall the formula for solving this type of equations, called quadratic equations:

 x = ( - b +/- √ b² - 4ac)/ 2a

The equation given is  x2 – 13x + 30 = 0,

where a = 1, b = - 13 and c = 30

Now replacing with the real values, we have

x = [ - (-13) +/- √ (-13)² - 4 * 1 * 30] / 2 * 1

x = [ 13 +/- √ 169 - 120] / 2

x = [13 +/- √ 49]/ 2

x = [ 13 +/- 7 ]/ 2

<u>x₁ = 13 + 7/2 = 20/2 = 10</u>

<u>x₂ = 13 - 7/2 = 6/2 = 3</u>
