Answer:

(a) more

(b) less

(d) greater

(e) Left to right: Susan, George, Antonio, Maria

Step-by-step explanation:

When a point total is lower, more points are needed to stay in the game.

(a) Maria's total is less than -30, so she needs more than 30 to stay in the game. Phone #4 is the only one indicating a need of more than 30, so it is Maria's.

(b) Susan's total is greater than -25, so she needs less than 25* to stay in the game. Phone #1 is the only one indicating a need of less than 25, so it is Susan's.

(c) George's point total is lower than Susan's, so he needs more points than Susan. Susan's phone indicates she needs 20 points. Since George needs 5 more points, his is phone #2.

(d) Antonio needs 15 fewer points than Maria, so his total is more than Maria's total. Maria's phone indicates she needs 45 points, so Antonio only needs 30 points. His is phone #3.

(e) Susan needs 20, George needs 25, Antonio needs 30, Maria needs 45.

_____

* If we assume whole numbers of points, a total of "greater than -25" might be a total of -24. To bring the score to a positive value (1), exactly 25 points might be needed. That is, there is some ambiguity in part (b) in that Susan might need less than or equal to 25 points. Susan's phone could be either the first or the second.

The problem is poorly worded. The answer choices above are consistent with the problem statement overall.

What is the sum of two consecutive even integers divided by four is 189.5?

mixas84 [53]

Let us denote the smaller even integer by $N$ .
Then, the next even integer must be $N+2$ .

To verify, set $N$ as any even number, say $174$ .
Then, the next even integer must be 2 more than this number, i.e. $174+2=176$ .

The sum of these two consecutive even integers can be expressed as:
                                    $N+(N+2)=2N+2$

We are told that this sum divided by four is 189.5, i.e.
                                     $(2N+2)\div4=189.5$

Multiplying both sides by 4 will reverse the division:
     $(2N+2)\div4\times4=189.5\times4$
     $(2N+2)\times1=758$

Subtracting 2 from each side will reverse the addition:
     $2N+2-2=758-2$
     $2N=756$

Dividing both sides by 2 will reverse the multiplication:
     $2N\div2=756\div2$
     $N=378$

Therefore, the two consecutive integers must be 378 and 380.

Check this:
     $(378+380)\div4=758\div4=189.5$

Find the x intercepts of f(x) = –16x^2 + 22x + 3

Helga [31]

That is where the line crosses the x axis or where y=0

0=-16x^2+22x+3
we gon do grouping
ac method
-16 times 3=-48

what 2 numbers multiply to get -48 and add to get 22
-2 and 24
0=-16x^2-2x+24x+3
group
0=(-16x^2-2x)+(24x+3)
undistribute
0=-2x(8x+1)+3(8x+1)
undistribute
0=(8x+1)(-2x+3)
set eaqual to 0

8x+1=0
8x=-1
x=-1/8

-2x+3=0
3=2x
3/2=x

x intercepts ate x=-1/8 and x=3/2

One angle of a right triangle measures 80degrees.what is the measure of the other acute angle

Damm [24]

Answer:

10 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

1.) every triangle has angles that add up to 180 degrees

2.) a right triangle has a right angle and two acute angles

3.) right=90 degrees; acute=<90 degrees

4.) 90+80=170

5.) 180-170=10
