Answer:

When x = 8.4 and y = .8 then 4x + 8y = 40

Step-by-step explanation:

4x + 8y = 40

y = .8

Let's solve for x by substituting .8 for y (since y is given)

4x + 8(.8) = 40

4x + 6.4 = 40   Subtract 6.4 from both sides.

4x + 6.4 - 6.4 = 40 - 6.4

4x = 33.6  Divide each side by 4

4x/4 = 33.6/4   4 cancels on the left because 4/4 = 1

x = 33.6/4

x = 8.4

So when x = 8.4 and y = .8 then 4x + 8y = 40

The ratio of the measures of the sides of a triangle is 8: 15: 17, and its perimeter is 480 in.. Find the measure of the shortes
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

96

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of the measure of sides of a triangle are 8:15:17

The perimeter is 480

8x + 15x + 17x= 480

40x= 480

x = 480/40

x = 12

Therefore the measure of the shortest side of the triangle can be calculated as follows

8x

8×12

= 96

Mr. Ramsey just finished bathing his kids, and now he is draining the tub. The tub contains 32 gallons of water and is draining
KIM [24]
The answer would be 11 gallons.

The tub starts with 32 gallons. Every minute it loses 3 gallons.

So after 1 minute it has lost 3 gallons. For example:
32-3= 29 Meaning that after 1 minute the tub has 29 gallons left.

Now you have to remember that the tub is draining for 7 minutes. So it is losing 3 gallons 7 times, because it loses 3 gallons each minute and there are 7 minutes.

We can use multiplication to find how many gallons the tub loses after 7 minutes. This sign “X” basically means “groups of”. We have 7 groups of 3, or
7 X 3

This is the same as saying we have 3, 7 times. Written like this:

3+3 +3 +3 +3 +3 +3 = 21

So after 7 minutes the tub has lost 21 gallons.

Now we take the original number of gallons and take away what was lost:

32-21=11

So there are 11 gallons left after 7 minutes.

Please let me know if you need any further explanation. Hope this helped.

A border to surround a picture is to be cut from a 10 1/2 in by 10 1/2 in mat board. If picture is 8 3/4 in by 8 3/4 in what is
Lilit [14]
Since the dimensions of the length and width are equal, then the board and the picture are squares. The width of the board is the margin surrounding the picture. Let's denote the width to be x. The length of the picture plus the length of the width at both ends should equal the length of the board. So, the equation should be:

10 1/2 in = 8 3/4 + 2x
Solving for x
x = 7/8 inches
