Printing machine A and printing machine B print the same newspaper printout, but machine B prints at half the rate of machine A.

If each machine produces 200 newspaper printouts, and both operate at different times for a total of 4 hours, what is the rate of each printing machine

Answer:

The answer is below

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us assume the rate of printing in machine A is x per hour and the rate for machine B is y. Given that machine B prints at half the rate of machine A, therefore:

y = (1/2)x                       (1)

Also, both machine produces 200 newspaper printouts, and both operate at different times for a total of 4 hours. Therefore:

200/x + 200/y = 4       (2)

Put y = (1/2)x in equation:

\frac{200}{x}+\frac{200}{(\frac{1}{2} )x}=4\\ \\ \frac{200}{x}+\frac{400}{x}=4\\\\Multiply\ through\ by\ x:\\\\200+400=4x\\\\4x=600\\\\x=150

Put x = 150 in equation y:

y=(1/2)150 = 75

Therefore the rate of machine A is 150 newspapers per hour while that of machine B is 75 newspapers per hour

Which two steps could be taken to simplify the expression y/3 + 2 = 11?<br>​
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

y = 27

Step-by-step explanation:

y/3 + 2 = 11

First subtract 2 from each side

y/3 + 2-2 = 11-2

y/3  = 9

Then multiply each side by 3

y/3 *3 = 9*3

y = 27

Find a vector 3 units long in the opposite direction from v = 〈3, 1,-4).
lutik1710 [3]

Unit vector along the direction v = <3,1,-4> is :

\hat{v} = \dfrac{3i + j  -4k}{\sqrt{3^2 + 1^2 + 4^2}}\\\\\hat{v} = \dfrac{3i + j -4k}{5.1}

So, unit vector opposing the \hat{v} is :

\hat{v'} = -\hat{v}\\\\\hat{v'} = -( \dfrac{3i + j -4k}{5.1})\\\\\hat{v'} = \dfrac{-3i - j +4k}{5.1}

so, vector of magnitude 3 units in opposite direction from v is :

\vec{V} = 3\hat{v'}\\\\\vec{V} = \dfrac{3}{5.1}( -3i -j+4k)

Hence, this is the required solution.

A rental car agency rents cars for $32 per day. They also charge $0.15 per mile driven. If you are taking a 5-day trip and have
xz_007 [3.2K]
So the equation is 32x+0.15y = $250
You know that you’re going to a 5-day trip so you can change x to 5
32(5)+0.15y = $250
You multiply 32 by 5 = 160
$160+0.15y = $250
And to simplify the equation(to make it easier) you subtract 160 on both sides
0.15y = $90
Now you’re trying to find y, so divide 90 by 0.15 to find the maximum of miles you can drive.
y = 600 mi
The maximum amount of miles you can drive is 600

Graph:
I can’t show any pictures sorry
But this is how you do it
Make a number line
Graph 600 with a closed circle, like this: ●
Then make an line going to the left(because you can’t go any more than 600)

Hope this helps! :^)
