$\bf \stackrel{\textit{initial length of the snake at 0 months, a = 0}}{L=\cfrac{7}{4}(0+5)\implies L=\cfrac{35}{4}\implies L=8.75}
\\\\\\
\stackrel{\textit{length of the snake at 5 months, a = 5}}{L=\cfrac{7}{4}(5+5)\implies L=\cfrac{70}{4}\implies L=17.5}$

since the snake is 8.75 inches originally, over the next 5 months it grew to 17.5, so the difference of 17.5 - 8.75 = 8.75, meaning the snake really grew only 8.75 inches over the 5 months, from its original 8.75 inches in length.

It's asking how long does a garden snake grow over 5 months instead of the length of the five-month-old garden snake. So the calculation is L=7/4*5=8.75. If it's hard to understand, try subtract the length of the snake when it's 1 month old from the length of the snake when it's 6 months old. You'll get the same answer.

2y+18=42 what is y, and how would you find it?

Nesterboy [21]

Answer:

y=12

Step-by-step explanation:

Use order of operations. Subtract 18 from both sides and the divide by 2.

2y+18 -18=42-18

2y=24

y=12

Rotating Q 180 degrees using the center P has the same effect as reflecting Q over the Line M
Step-by-step explanation:
Rotating Q 180 degrees using the center P has the same effect as reflecting Q over the Line M and this is because Lines L and M are perpendicular lines ( i.e. lines that meet a right angle ( 90° ).
Hence rotating Q 180 degrees form the center will be similar to reflecting Q over any of the perpendicular lines

Each pound of food C contains 6 ounces of ingredient P and 3 ounces of ingredient Q. Each pound of food D contains 4.5 ounces of

GuDViN [60]

So hmm the food C = 6p + 3q and the food D = 4.5p + 1.5q

now, if we check how much is the ratios of C/D for each component, then, mixture M = 144p + 60q, must contain the same ratio for each "p" and "q" component

$\bf \textit{ratio of "p"}\implies \cfrac{6}{4.5}\implies \cfrac{4}{3}
\\\\\\
\textit{ratio of "q"}\implies \cfrac{3}{1.5}\implies \cfrac{2}{1}$

so, if we divide the 144p by 4+3, or 7 even pieces, 4 must belong to food C and 3 to food D, retaining the ratio of 4/3

and we do the same for 60q, we divide it in 2+1 or 3 even pieces, but that one is very clear, 2 must belong to food C and 1 to food D, 60/3 is clear ends up with a ratio of 40 and 20

now the "p" part... ends up as $\bf \cfrac{144}{7}\cdot 4\qquad and\qquad \cfrac{144}{7}\cdot 3\implies \cfrac{576}{7}\qquad and\qquad \cfrac{432}{7}$

that's what I see it, as the ratio of 4/3 and 2/1 being retained in the mixture M

Find the number of distinct triangles with the measurements a = 8, b = 14, and A = 30°.

Maslowich

Answer: 2

Step-by-step explanation:

By the law of sines,

$\frac{\sin B}{b}=\frac{\sin A}{a} \\ \\ \frac{\sin B}{14}=\frac{\sin 30^{\circ}}{8} \\ \\ \frac{\sin B}{14}=\frac{1}{16} \\ \\ \sin B=\frac{14}{16} \\ \\ B=\sin^{-1} \left(\frac{14}{16} \right), 180^{\circ}-\sin^{-1} \left(\frac{14}{16} \right) \\ \\ B \approx 61.04^{\circ}, 118.96^{\circ}$

Since either of these values for B will form a triangle (as A+B will be less than 180 degrees), 2 triangles can be formed with these measurements.
