Answer:
8
Step-by-step explanation:
its eight...........................
Y-2x=-3.5
x-2y=-14
then multiply the first term by 2
2y-4x=-7
x-2y=-14
then sum them
-3x=-21
x=-7
y=3.5
Answer:
Daniel (now) is 3 years old, (2 years ago) is 1 year old.
Kevin (now) is 6 years old, (2 years ago) is 4 years old.
Step-by-step explanation:
Now:
-Kevin: k = d + 3
-Daniel: d
2 years ago:
-Kevin: k - 2 = 4(d - 2)
-Daniel: d - 2
We have the equation:
(k - 2) + 2 = k
4(d - 2) + 2 = d + 3
4d - 8 + 2 = d + 3
3d - 6 = 3
3d = 9
d = 3
k = d + 3 = 3 + 3 = 6
For this problem we can represent the situation as a rectangle triangle.
x: depth of water.
40: Base. "Antonio pulls the lily to one side, keeping the stem straight, until the blossom touches the water at a spot"
x + 8: Hypotenuse. "He notices water lily sticking straight up from the water, whose blossom is 8 cm above the water's surface." Antonio pulls the lily to one side, keeping the stem straight, until the blossom touches the water at a spot".
By the Pythagorean theorem we have:
x ^ 2 + 40 ^ 2 = (x + 8) ^ 2
Clearing x:
x ^ 2 + 1600 = x ^ 2 + 16x + 64
x ^ 2 - x ^ 2 = 16x + 64 - 1600
0 = 16x -1536
1536 = 16x
1536/16 = x
x = 96
answer:
1) x ^ 2 + 40 ^ 2 = (x + 8) ^ 2
2) the depth of the water is
x = 96
If Ike does not want more than 20 pounds in his backpack, this means he wants less than or equal to 20 pounds in his backpack. Because each paper costs 1/3 pound, this can be used as the rate of change and we can set up the following inequality:
1/3x < 20
To solve this inequality, we should divide both sides of the equation by 1/3.
x < 60
Because this inequality means that x is less than or equal to 60, the answer is that Ike can carry 60 papers in his backpack.
Hope this helps!
