Wilmer spends at least 13 hours reading for his assignments each week, plus 1 hour completing each Reading Response assignment.

The inequality that represents the total number of hours, y, Wilmer reads for his various assignments each week is y≥x+13, where x represents the number of Reading Response assignments he completes.
This week, Wilmer can spend only 5 hours total reading for his various assignments.

Which explanation correctly analyzes whether there is a solution for this scenario?

There is no solution. For the inequality to be true, the value of x has to be negative. This is impossible because Wilmer can't have a negative number of Reading Response assignments.

The ordered pair (−8,5) is a solution to the inequality y≥x+13. This ordered pair shows that Wilmer can complete 8 Reading Responses in the 5 hours.

The ordered pair (5,18) is a solution to the inequality y≥x+13. This ordered pair shows that Wilmer can complete 18 Reading Responses in the 5 hours.

There is no solution. For the inequality to be true, the value of x has to be a fraction. This is impossible because Wilmer can't have a fractional number of Reading Response assignments.

When Klorina swims with the current, she swims 10 km in 2 h. Against the current, she can swim only 8 km in the same time. How f
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Klorina's rate in still water is 4.5 km/h

Current's rate is 0.5 km/h

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x km/h = Klorina's rate in still water

y km/h = current's rate

<u>With the current (current helps):</u>

Distance = 10 km

Time = 2 hours

Rate = x + y km/h

10=2(x+y)

<u>Against the current:</u>

Distance = 8 km

Time = 2 hours

Rate = x - y km/h

8=2(x-y)

Divide both equations by 2:

x+y=5\\ \\x-y=4

Add these equations:

x+y+x-y=5+4\\ \\2x=9\\ \\x=4.5\ km/h

Subtract these two equations:

(x+y)-(x-y)=5-4\\ \\x+y-x+y=1\\ \\2y=1\\ \\y=0.5\ km/h

-2 2/3, -5 1/3, -10 2/3, -21 1/3, -42 2/3. which formula can be used to describe the sequence?
Stella [2.4K]
Your sequence appears to be geometric with a common ratio of 2. It can be described by
  a(n) = (-2 2/3)·2^(n-1)

_____
This can be written in a number of other forms, including
  a(n) = (-8/3)·2^(n-1)
  a(n) = (-1/3)·2^(n+2)
  a(n) = (-4/3)·2^n

The value of good wine increases with age. Thus, if you are a wine dealer, you have the problem of deciding whether to sell your
Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer: 64 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Let assume the dealer sold the bottle now for $P, then invested that money at 5% interest. The return would be:

R1 = P(1.05)^t,

This means that after t years, the dealer would have the total amount of:

$P×1.05^t.

If the dealer prefer to wait for t years from now to sell the bottle of wine, then he will get the return of:

R2 = $P(1 + 20).

The value of t which will make both returns equal, will be;

R1 = R2.

P×1.05^t = P(1+20)

P will cancel out

1.05^t = 21

Log both sides

Log1.05^t = Log21

tLog1.05 = Log21

t = Log21/Log1.05

t = 64 years

The best time to sell the wine is therefore 64years from now.
