Answer: The hook would be 2.2 inches (approximately) above the top of the frame
Step-by-step explanation: Please refer to the picture attached for further details.
The top of the picture frame has been given as 9 inches and a 10 inch ribbon has been attached in order to hang it on a wall. The ribbon at the point of being hung up would be divided into 5 inches on either side (as shown in the picture). The line from the tip/hook down to the frame would divide the length of the frame into two equal lengths, that is 4.5 inches on either side of the hook. This would effectively give us two similar right angled triangles with sides 5 inches, 4.5 inches and a third side yet unknown. That third side is the distance from the hook to the top of the frame. The distance is calculated by using the Pythagoras theorem which states as follows;
AC^2 = AB^2 + BC^2
Where AC is the hypotenuse (longest side) and AB and BC are the other two sides
5^2 = 4.5^2 + BC^2
25 = 20.25 + BC^2
Subtract 20.25 from both sides of the equation
4.75 = BC^2
Add the square root sign to both sides of the equation
2.1794 = BC
Rounded up to the nearest tenth, the distance from the hook to the top of the frame will be 2.2 inches
Answer:
x = -8/3
y = 4
Step-by-step explanation:
I assume you want to solve for x and y.
The best way to do this with the two formulas given is elimination. This means add the two equations together.
6x + 5y = 4
-6x + y = 20
The 6 x and -6x will cancel each other. By adding the like terms of the two together you will come out with
6y = 24
Now solve for y by dividing both sides by the 6.
y = 24/6 = 4
Now that we have y, you can plug it into one of the equations and solve for x.
Let's use -6x + y =20.
So plug in the 4 for y to get -6x + 4 = 20
Subtract the 4 from both sides then solve for y by dividing both sides by the -6.
-6x = 16
x = -16/6
You can reduce that down so that x = -8/3.
Multiply the hours buy her hourly pay:
6 × 40 = 240
6 × 6.5 = 39
6 × 8 = 48
Add them together:
240 + 39 + 48 = 327
ANSWER: Mary Stevens made $327.
I really hope this helped you! c:
So first create and define your variables:
Z = amount of zebra fish
N = amount of neon tetras
Now create your equations:
2z+2.15n=31.20
z+n=15
This is your system. There are multiple methods to use but in this problem I’ll use the substitution method by simplifying the bottom equation.
2z+2.15n=31.20
z=15-n
Now I’ll plug the bottom equation into the top one.
2(15-n)+2.15n=31.20
And just solve from here.
30-2n+2.15n=31.20
0.15n=1.20
n=8
So he bout 8 neon tetras, and 15-8= 7, so he bought 7 zebra fish
