Assuming that all of them can sail the boat. For them to sail to the island.

First: The two children (Nancy and Peggy) should sail to the island.
Next: One of the children (say Nancy) should bring back the boat.
Next: One of the adults (say Uncle Jim) should sail to the island.
Next: The other child (Peggy) should bring back the boat.
Next: The two children should sail to the island.
Next: One of the children should bring back the boat.
Next: The remaining adult (the mother) should sail to the island.
Next: The other child should bring back the boat.

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point (-3,-8) and has a slope of 4?
coldgirl [10]

Step-by-step explanation:

the easiest approach with a given point and the slope of the line is the point-slope form :

y - y1 = a(x - x1)

where "a" is the slope, and (x1, y1) is a point on the line.

so, we get

y - -8 = 4(x - -3)

y + 8 = 4(x + 3)

if we need the slope-intercept form

y = ax + b

we now simplify the point-slope form

y + 8 = 4x + 4×3 = 4x + 12

y = 4x + 4

For the class of 2013's prom Norman's dress shop sold cheaper dresses for $90 each and more expensive dresses for $140 each. The
Tema [17]

Answer:

Number of cheaper dresses sold  is 35

Number of expensive  dresses sold  is 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Cost of cheaper dresses = $90

Cost of  expensive dresses = $140

Total cost of  the dresses = $5250

To Find:

Number of cheaper dress = ?

Number of expensive  dress = ?

Solution:

Let

The number of  cheaper dresses be x

The number of  expensive dresses be y

(Number of cheaper dresses X cost of cheap dress) +  (Number of Expensive dresses X cost of  expensive dress)  =  $5250

x \times90 +y \times 140 = 5250=  $5250

It is given that the 20 more of the cheaper dresses than the expensive dresses is sold

So,

number of cheaper dress  =  20  +  number of expensive dress

x = 20 + y---------------------------------------(1)

(20+y) \times90 +y \times 140 = 5250 = 5250

(20 \times 90 +y\times 90) +y \times 140= 5250

1800 + 90y+ 140y = 5250

1800 + 230y = 5250

230y =5250 -1800

230y = 3450

y = \frac{3450}{230}

y = 15

Substituting y in (1)

x = 20 +15

x= 35
