You start with: (assuming x equals the cost to enter and y the cost of going on the rollercoasters.)
x+5y=35
x+11y=59. Multiply the top equation by -1, and subtract the equations, giving you -6y=-24, divide by -6 into both sides of the equation, to get y=4. Now replace y in one of the original equations (I recommend x+5y=35) and solve for x, giving you x=15
The cost for entering is 15 dollars, while each coaster is 4 dollars more. You could simplify this by changing y into x and making it slope-intercept form, to track your cost. y=4x+15, so it has a slope of 4, and a y-intercept of 15. This answer should give you a good grade on a test.
Answer: the length is 87 feet
The width is 40 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Let L represent the length of the playing field.
Let W represent the width of the playing field.
The playing field is rectangular. The formula for determining the perimeter of a rectangle is expressed as
Perimeter = 2(L + W)
The perimeter of a playing field for a certain sport is 254 ft. This means that
254 = 2(L + W)
L + W = 254/2
L + W = 127 - - - - - - - - - - - -1
The length is 47 ft longer than the width. This means that
L = W + 47
Substituting L = W + 47 into equation 1, it becomes
W + 47 + W = 127
2W + 47 = 127
2W = 127 - 47 = 80
W = 80/2 = 40
L = W + 47 = 40 + 47
L = 87
Answer:
9 - 5x = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Nine (9) less (-) then the product (*) of 5*x, equals (=) to 7
9 - 5x = 7
Distributive property, commutative property, and associative property (I believe. I tried my best but I’m not completely sure that I’m correct. Good luck!)
Answer: 41.5 min
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem can be solved with the Radioactive Half Life Formula:
(1)
Where:
is the final amount of the radioactive element
is the initial amount of the radioactive element
is the time elapsed
is the half life of the radioactive element
So, we need to substitute the given values and find from (1):
(2)
(3)
(4)
Applying natural logarithm in both sides:
(5)
(6)
Clearing :
This is the time elapsed
