Answer:

Brenda

Step-by-step explanation:

You can divide the number of pages by the number of minutes to find the amount of minutes it takes to read 1 page. For Arnold, 3 pages / 7 minutes = 1 page per approximately 0.43 minutes. For Brenda, 8 pages / 14 minutes = 1 page per approximately 0.57 minutes. Brenda reads slightly faster since 0.57 > 0.43

A vehicle factory manufactures cars. The unit cost (the cost in dollars to make each car) depends on the number of cars made. If

Nataly [62]

Answer:

The function is missing in the question. The function is $C(x) = 0.8x^2 -544x +97410$

The answer is 4930

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit cost of a car is given as

$C(x) = 0.8x^2 -544x +97410$

Cost will be minimum when

x = -(-544)/ 2 x 0.8

= 340

Therefore, minimum cost for unit car is

$C(x) = 0.8x^2 -544x +97410$

$= 0.8(340)^2 -544(340) +97410$

= 4930

−7x−6y=2<br> 7x+4y=−6<br> solve for x and y

ikadub [295]

Answer:

$\mathrm{The\:solutions\:to\:the\:system\:of\:equations\:are:x=-2,\:y=2}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\begin{bmatrix}-7x-6y=2\\ 7x+4y=-6\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{Substitute\:}x=-\frac{2+6y}{7}$

$\begin{bmatrix}7\left(-\frac{2+6y}{7}\right)+4y=-6\end{bmatrix}$

$\begin{bmatrix}-2-2y=-6\end{bmatrix}$

$\mathrm{For\:}x=-\frac{2+6y}{7}$

$\mathrm{Substitute\:}y=2$

$x=-\frac{2+6\cdot \:2}{7}\\\\x=-2$

Jess is painting a giant arrow on a playground find the area of the giant arrow

IgorC [24]

First solve the area of the arrow, the arrow consist of a rectangle that has a dimensions of 10 ft x 18 ft. and the triangle has a base of 20 ft and the height is 6 ft.

A = xy + 0.5bh
where x and y are the dimensions of the rectangle
b is the base of the triangle
h is the height of the traingle

A = (10)(18) + 0.5(20)(6)
A = 240 sq ft

number can of paint = 240 sq ft ( 1 can / 100 sq ft)
=2.4 can of paint, since you cant purchase a fraction of the can then the he need to buy 3 cans of paint

Hope this helps!

P.S- Can you plz mark min as brainliest??

Thank You
