He used 53 pounds. I got this by using two equations.
a+b=117
and
5.8a+4.1b= 569.8

I took the first equation and subtracted 'b' so the equation looked like a=117-b.
I then plugged in 117-b into the second equation, so it ended up looking like this:
5.8 (117-b)=569.8
5.8 times 117 is 678.6. And 5.8 times negative b is negative 5.8b.
The equation now looks like this:
678.6-5.8b+4.1b=569.8
Add like terms
678.6-1.7b=569.8
Then subtract 678.6 from both sides
-1.7b= -108.8
divide each side by -1.7
you get b= 64.
But because you are looking for how many pounds for a, subtract 64 from 117. You get 53. 53 is the answer.

Answer:

$\frac{5x^{2} }{12}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Height: x

Base: $\frac{5x}{6}$

Now, finding the area of triangle.

Formula; Area of triangle= $\frac{1}{2} \times base\times height$

⇒ Area of triangle= $\frac{1}{2}\times \frac{5x}{6} \times x$

⇒ Area of triangle= $\frac{5x^{2} }{12}$

Hence, area of triangle= $\frac{5x^{2} }{12}$

Can someone help me the 2nd problem I don’t understand it

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

So this means the bus B covered 390-120=270 miles when bus A has already reached 390 miles.

270 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

So is A is going faster than B so A will reach the destination first.

When will A reach it's destination?

Let's find out.

To solve this problem, the following will come in handy:

Speed=distance/time or time*Speed=distance or time=distance/speed .

time=distance/speed

$T_A=\frac{390}{S_A}$

$T_A=\frac{390}{65}$

$T_A=6$

So it will take bus A 6 hours to cover the distance of 390 miles.

How much time would have it taken bus B to reach that same distance?

$T_B=\frac{390}{45}$

$T_B=8.\overline{6}$

So it would have taken bus B $8.\overline{6}$ hours to cover a distance of 390 miles.

So the time difference is $8.\overline{6}-6=2.\overline{6}$ hours.

It will take $2.\overline{6}$ more hours than bus A for bus B to complete a distance of 390 miles.

So bus B traveled $2.\overline{6} \cdot 45=120$ miles (used the time*speed=distance) after bus A got to it's destination.

So this means the bus B covered 390-120=270 miles when bus A has already reached 390 miles.

Mars2501 [29]

Entirely impossible to know, there are an infinite number of sequences which have the terms 8, 15, and 22 for n=1,2,3 -you could say that if you wanted to give a "smart" answer and it would be true
otherwise 43 pages on 6th day I think
