Let total number of people be x
Therefore, 4/5 of x = 20
4/5*x = 20
x = 20*5/4
x = 5*5
x = 25

Write the equation of the line that passes through the points (-6,5) and (3,−5). Put your answer in fully reduced point-slope fo
elena55 [62]

Answer:

\displaystyle y-5=-\frac{10}{9}(x+6)

Or:

\displaystyle y+5=-\frac{10}{9}(x-3)

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to write the equation of a line that passes through the points (-6, 5) and (3, -5) in point-slope form.

Point-slope form is given by:

y-y_1=m(x-x_1)

Thus, first, we need to find the slope. We can use the slope formula:

\displaystyle m=\frac{\Delta y}{\Delta x}=\frac{(-5)-(5)}{(3)-(-6)}=\frac{-10}{9}=-\frac{10}{9}

Next, we can use either of the two given points. I'll use (-6, 5). So, let (-6, 5) be (<em>x₁, y₁</em>). Substitute:

\displaystyle y-(5)=-\frac{10}{9}(x-(-6))

Or, fully simplified:

\displaystyle y-5=\frac{-10}{9}(x+6)

Using the other point, we will acquire:

\displaystyle y-(-5)=-\frac{10}{9}(x-(3))

Or, simplified:

\displaystyle y+5=-\frac{10}{9}(x-3)

The half life of radium is 1690 years. if 80 grams are present now, how much will be present in 830 years
Pachacha [2.7K]

Answer:

A(t) = amount remaining in t years

      = A0ekt, where A0 is the initial amount and k is a constant to                     be determined.  

Since A(1690) = (1/2)A0 and A0 = 80,

                we have 40 = 80e1690k

                1/2 = e1690k

                ln(1/2) = 1690k

                k = -0.0004

So, A(t) = 80e-0.0004t

Therefore, A(430) = 80e-0.0004(430)

                           = 80e-0.172

                           ≈ 67.4 g

Solve 4(4f-9)=-(2-f)
Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

f = \frac{7}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. 4(4f - 9) = -(2-f)               distribute the negative

2. 4(4f - 9) = -2 + f           Distribute the 4

3. 16f - 9 = -2 + f            Subtract f on both sides

4. 15f - 9 = -2                  Add 9 on both sides

5. 15f = 7                 Divide both equations by 15

6. \frac{15f}{15} = \frac{7}{15}  

f = \frac{7}{15}

Fourteen less children’s meals were served than adult meals at a barbecue. Children plate were 1.50 each and adult plates were 2
Annette [7]

Answer:

134 children and 120 adult plates were served

Step-by-step explanation:

let the children mean be x

Let the adult meal be y

If fourteen less children’s meals were served than adult meals at a barbecue, then;

y = x - 14 .... 1

IF Children plate were 1.50 each and adult plates were 2.00 each with a total of 441 in amount then;

1.5x + 2y = 441 .... 2

Substitute 1 into 2;

1.5x + 2(x-14) = 441

1.5x+2x-28 = 441

3.5x = 441+28

3.5x = 469

x = 469/3.5

x = 134

Recall that y = x - 14

y = 134-14

y = 120

Hence 134 children and 120 adult plates were served
