Answer:

Based on the number of cookies each girl made and if Kristina and Liz made the same number of cookies, then Heather made 4.2 dozen cookies.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the number of cookies that Heather made, you need to set up two equations that represent the number of cookies that Kristina and Liz each made.  Since Kristina made 2.4 dozen less than 6 times as many dozen as Heather, we can represent that with the equation  6c - 2.4.  Since Liz made 1.8 dozen more than 5 times as many dozen as Heather, we can represent that with the equation 5c + 1.8.  We can set both equations equal to each other since Liz and Kristina made the same number, so 6c - 2.4 = 5c + 1.8.  Solving for 'c', which represents how many dozen cookies Heather made, we get 4.2

iren [92.7K]

Let , coordinate of points are P( h,k ).

Also , k = 3h + 1

Distance of P from origin :

d=\sqrt{h^2+k^2}

Distance of P from ( -3, 4 ) :

d=\sqrt{(h+3)^2+(k-4)^2}

Now , these distance are equal :

h^2+(3h+1)^2=(h+3)^2+(3h+1-4)^2\\\\h^2+(3h+1)^2=(h+3)^2+(3h-3)^2

Solving above equation , we get :

P=(\dfrac{16}{21},\dfrac{23}{7})

Hence , this is the required solution.

If a person invested half of her money at 9% and half at 7% and received $160 interest, find the total amount of money invested.
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

$2000

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the money she invested

lets assume this was for 1 year

0.09(x/2) + 0.07(x/2) = 160

multiply each side by 2 to cancel the denominators:

0.09x + 0.07x = 320

0.16x = 320

x = 2000

from a window 20 feet above the ground, the angle of elevation to the top of another building is 35 degrees. The distance betwee
NISA [10]

Answer:

  56.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The tangent of the angle relates the opposite side (height above the window) to the adjacent side (distance between buildings) in the right triangle that models this geometry.

  Tan = Opposite/Adjacent

  tan(35°) = (height above window)/(distance between buildings)

  height above window = (52 ft)tan(35°) ≈ 36.4 ft

Added to the window height of 20 ft, the height of the other building is ...

  20 ft + 36.4 ft = 56.4 ft
