have? Let f represent the amount of money Frank has in dollars and m represent the amount of money Marissa has in dollars.
a. Draw a tape diagram to represent the amount of money Frank has.
b. Draw a tape diagram to represent the amount of money Marissa has.
c. Draw a tape diagram to represent the amount of money Christina has.
d. Which tape diagram provides enough information to determine the value of the variable m?
e. Write and solve the equation.

Answer:

a. Take a grid that shows represents the amount of money Frank has,

Say F,

( shown below ),

b. Since, Marissa has twice as much money as Frank,

So, the amount Marissa has = 2F

If M represents the amount Marissa has,

M = 2F

c. Now, Christina has $20 more than Marissa,

Add 20 to the grid M

d. The below diagram provides enough information to determine the value of the variable m

e. The amount Christina has = M + 20 = 2F + 20

According to the question,

2F + 20 = 100

2F = 80

F = 40

Hence, the amount frank has = $ 40,

Amount Marissa has = 2(40) = $ 80,

Solve (x + 3)2 + (x + 3) – 2 = 0. Let u = Rewrite the equation in terms of u. (u2 + 3) + u – 2 = 0 u2 + u – 2 = 0 (u2 + 9) + u –

Verdich [7]

Answer:

The solutions of the original equation are x=-5 and x=-2

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

$(x+3)^2+(x+3)-2=0$

Let

$u=(x+3)$

Rewrite the equation

$(u)^2+(u)-2=0$

Complete the square

$u^2+u=2$

$u^2+u+1/4=2+1/4$

$u^2+u+1/4=9/4$

rewrite as perfect squares

$(u+1/2)^2=9/4$

square root both sides

$(u+1/2)=\pm\frac{3}{2}$

$u=(-1/2)\pm\frac{3}{2}$

$u=(-1/2)+\frac{3}{2}=1$

$u=(-1/2)-\frac{3}{2}=-2$

the solutions are

u=-2,u=1

<em>Alternative Method</em>

The formula to solve a quadratic equation of the form

$ax^{2} +bx+c=0$

is equal to

$x=\frac{-b\pm\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}} {2a}$

in this problem we have

$(u)^2+(u)-2=0$

so

$a=1\\b=1\\c=-2$

substitute in the formula

$u=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{1^{2}-4(1)(-2)}} {2(1)}$

$u=\frac{-1\pm\sqrt{9}} {2}$

$u=\frac{-1\pm3} {2}$

$u=\frac{-1+3} {2}=1$

$u=\frac{-1-3} {2}=-2$

the solutions are

u=-2,u=1

<em>Find the solutions of the original equation</em>

For u=-2

$-2=(x+3)$ ----> $x=-2-3=-5$

For u=1

$1=(x+3)$ ----> $x=1-3=-2$

therefore

The solutions of the original equation are

x=-5 and x=-2

At a soccer tournament 12 teams are wearing red shirts, 6 teams are wearing blue shirts, 4 teams are wearing orange shirts and 2

earnstyle [38]

Answer:

24 blank shirts

Step-by-step explanation:

I'm guessing you're asking for blank shirts. 12+6+4+2=24. 24 teams so far, but there are the blank shirts.

(24+b)/2=b. Multiply by 2

=24+b=2b. Subtract b

24=b

Answer:

$1.72222\ radians$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given radius $=9$ and arc length $=15.5$ .

$arc\ length=radius\times central\ angle(radians)\\Central\ angle(radians)=\frac{arc\ length}{radius} \\$

$central\ angle=\frac{15.5}{9}=1.72222\ radians$
