Answer:

We set up our equations:

35x+40y = 1850 eq1

x+y = 50 eq2

Substituting eq 2 into eq 1,

35x+40(50-x) = 1850

35x+2000-40x = 1850

-5x+2000 = 1850

-5x = -150

x = 30

Substitute value of x into eq 2.

x+y = 50

30+y = 50

y = 20

Car 1 consumes 30 gallons of gas.

Car 2 consumes 20 gallons of gas.

hope this helps

You want to enlarge a 4 x 5 inch photo to fit into a 1 inch wide frame

skelet666 [1.2K]

The 4•x by 5•x inner dimensions of the 53 inches outer perimeter picture frame, the 1 inch wide frame and the 4 × 5 inch picture to be enlarged, gives;

a. The outer perimeter equation is presented as follows;

18•x + 8 = 53 inches

b. The scale factor required for the enlargement of the picture is 2.5

<h3>Which method can be used to write the equation and find the scale factor?</h3>

The dimensions of the photo = 4 × 5 inch

Width of the frame = 1 inch

Outer perimeter of the frame = 53 inches

The width of the inside of the picture frame = 4•x

The height of the inside of the picture frame = 5•x

a. The equation for the outer perimeter of the picture frame is therefore;

2 × (4•x + 1 + 1) + 2 × (5•x + 1 + 1) = 53

Which gives;

2 × (4•x + 2) + 2 × (5•x + 2) = 53

8•x + 4 + 10•x + 4 = 53

A simplified equation for the outer perimeter of the picture frame is therefore;

18•x + 8 = 53

b. Solving the above equation, we have;

18•x + 8 = 53

18•x = 53 - 8 = 45

18•x = 45

Therefore;

x = 45 ÷ 18 = 2.5

x = 2.5

The width and height of the picture frame are therefore;

Width = 4•x = 4 × 2.5 = 10

Height = 5•x = 5 × 2.5 = 12.5

Which gives;

Width = 10 inches

Height = 12.5 inches

The enlargement factor, sf, is given by the ratio of a side of the picture frame to a side of the picture as follows;

sf = 12.5/5 = 2.5

The factor by which to enlarge the picture frame is 2.5

What is the equation for the line? enter your answer in the box

Igoryamba

To get the equation of the line, you need two points that belong to this line.
From the given graph, we can choose any two points: (0,-4) and (-2,0)

The general for of the linear straight line is:
y = mx + c where m is the slope and c is the y-intercept

First, we will calculate the slope using the following rule:
slope = (y2-y1) / (x2-x1)
slope (m) = (0--4) / (-2-0) = 4/-2 = -2
The equation of the line now is: y = -2x + c

Then, we will get the value of the c. To do so, we will choose any point and substitute in the equation. I will choose the point (0,-4)
y = -2x + c
-4 = -2(0) + c
c = -4

Based on the above calculations, the equation of the line is:
y = -2x - 4

Maksim231197 [3]

Answer:

The correct matrices are:

Matrix:

7 1 5

1 5 7

5 7 1

all diagonal elements of A^2 are: 7^2 + 1^2 + 5^2

Matrix:

9 18 27

27 -9 18

18 27 9

all diagonal elements of A^2 are: 9^2 + 27*18 + 18*27 or (-9)^2

Matrix:

8 1 6

6 8 1

1 6 8

all diagonal elements of A^2 are: 8^2 + 6*1 + 1*6

Assume that 8% of people are left-handed. We select 6 people at random. a) How many lefties do you expect? b) With what sta

klemol [59]

Answer:

a) 0.48

b) 0.6645

c) 12.5

Step-by-step explanation:

For each person, there are only two possible outcomes. Either they are left-handed, or they are not. The probabilities of each person being left-handed are independent. So we use the binomial probability distribution to solve this question.

Binomial probability distribution

Probability of exactly x sucesses on n repeated trials, with p probability.

The expected value of the binomial distribution is:

$E(X) = np$
