Answer:

34 hard-headed skeptics

Step-by-step explanation:

Write and solve an equation of ratios:

  459       2

--------- = ----

 7803      x

Cross-multipying, we get:

459x = 15606, which yields  x = 15606/459 = 34

There were 34 hard-headed skeptics.

13. Find the equations of the straight lines which passes
ipn [44]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • y = 1/2x +2
  • y = -2x +7

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope of a line is the tangent of the angle it makes with the x-axis. The given line has a slope of -1/3, so the lines we want will have slopes of ...

  m1 = tan(arctan(-1/3) +45°) = 0.5 . . . . . using a calculator

  m2 = tan(arctan(-1/3) -45°) = -2

Of course, these two lines are perpendicular to each other, so their slopes will have a product of -1: (0.5)(-2) = -1.

__

We can use the point-slope form of the equation for a line to write the desired equations:

  y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . line with slope m through point (h, k)

<u>Line 1</u>:

  y = 1/2(x -2) +3

  y = 1/2x +2

<u>Line 2</u>:

  y = -2(x -2) +3

  y = -2x +7

A General Motors buyer-incentive program offered a 5.5% rebate on the selling price of a new car. What rebate (in dollars) would
Mashcka [7]

Answer: he would receive a rebate of $1677.5

Step-by-step explanation:

A General Motors buyer-incentive program offered a 5.5% rebate on the selling price of a new car. This means that if the selling price of the new car is $x, the rebate (in dollars) that a customer would receive is

5.5/100 × x = 0.055 × x = 0.055x

Therefore, for a customer who purchased a $30,500 car under this program, the rebate that he would receive is

0.055 × 30500 = $1677.5

A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is
Nata [24]

the cost for each of jelly beans and each pound of trail mix is $2.5 and $1.75

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given A store is having a sale on jelly beans and trail mix. For 3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $11. For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 6 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $23 . We have to find the cost for each pound of trail mix and each pound of jelly beans.

Let the cost of each pound of trail mix is $y.

and  the cost of each pound of jelly beans is $x.

According to question,

For   3 pounds of jelly beans and 2 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $11.

⇒ 3x+2y=11  →  (1)

For 5 pounds of jelly beans and 6 pounds of trail mix, the total cost is $23

⇒ 5x+6y=23 →  (2)

Solving (1) and (2), we get

3(1 equation)-(2 equation)=0

⇒3(3x+2y)-5x-6y=3(11)-23

⇒9x+6y-5x-6y=10

hence,

⇒4x=10

⇒x=2.5

Putting x=2.5 in  3x+2y=11  we get ;

⇒  3x+2y=11

⇒  3(2.5)+2y=11

⇒  2y=11-7.5=3.5

⇒  y=1.75

Hence, the cost for each of jelly beans and each pound of trail mix is $2.5 and $1.75 .

I need help asap. I don’t know how to do this
irga5000 [103]

Answer:

  10 in

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two ways to work this problem, and they give different answers. The reason for that is that <em>the data shown in the diagram is not consistent</em>.

<u>Method 1</u>

Use the area to determine the base length. The area formula is ...

  A = (1/2)bh

  20 in^2 = (1/2)(b)(4 in)

  (20 in^2)/(2 in) = b = 10 in

The missing side dimension is 10 inches.

__

<u>Method 2</u>

Use the Pythagorean theorem to find the parts of the base, then add them up.

Left of the "?" we have ...

  left^2 +4^ = 6^

  left^2 = 36 -16 = 20

  left = √20 = 2√5

Right of the "?" we have ...

  right^2 +4^2 = 8^2

  right^2 = 64 -16 = 48

  right = √48 = 4√3

So, the base length is ...

  base = left + right = 2√5 +4√3

  base ≈ 11.400 in

The missing side dimension is 11.4 inches. (The area is 22.8 in^2.)
