Answer:
- D(5, 4), E(14, 7), M(9.5, 5.5)
Step-by-step explanation:
As AD = 1/4AB and DE ║ AC, the ratio CE/CB = 1/4, or CE = 1/4CB
<u>Find the coordinates of D:</u>
- x = 1 + 1/4(17 - 1) = 1 + 4 = 5
- y = 5 + 1/4(1 - 5) = 5 - 1 = 4
<u>Find the coordinates of E:</u>
- x = 13 + 1/4(17 - 13) = 13 + 1 = 14
- y = 9 + 1/4(1 - 9) = 9 - 2 = 7
<u>Find the coordinates of the midpoint M of DE:</u>
- x = (5 + 14)/2 = 19/2 = 9.5
- y = (4 + 7)/2 = 11/2 = 5.5
Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
____ is x
Move the terms.
6=x+8
-x=8-6
Calculate
-x=2
Change the signs
x= -2
4/5 divided by 8 is 0.1 other than that I don’t know that question is kind of vague
Answer: The company should produce 7 skateboards and 16 rollerskates in order to maximize profit.
Step-by-step explanation: Let the skateboards be represented by s and the rollerskates be represented by r. The available amount of labour is 30 units, and to produce a skateboard requires 2 units of labor while to produce a rollerskate requires 1 unit. This can be expressed as follows;
2s + r = 30 ------(1)
Also there are 40 units of materials available, and to produce a skateboard requires 1 unit while a rollerskate requires 2 units. This too can be expressed as follows;
s + 2r = 40 ------(2)
With the pair of simultaneous equations we can now solve for both variables by using the substitution method as follows;
In equation (1), let r = 30 - 2s
Substitute for r into equation (2)
s + 2(30 - 2s) = 40
s + 60 - 4s = 40
Collect like terms,
s - 4s = 40 - 60
-3s = -20
Divide both sides of the equation by -3
s = 6.67
(Rounded up to the nearest whole number, s = 7)
Substitute for the value of s into equation (1)
2s + r = 30
2(7) + r = 30
14 + r = 30
Subtract 14 from both sides of the equation
r = 16
Therefore in order to maximize profit, the company should produce 7 skateboards and 16 rollerskates.
Answer:
$1.69
Step-by-step explanation:
Half a dollar = $0.50
Eight dimes = $0.80
Six nickels = $0.30
Nine pennies = $0.09
Total = $0.50 + $0.80 + $0.30 + $0.09 = $1.69
