Answer:

Yes, Josh's parent's house in Texas is the midpoint between South Carolina and California

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S represents South carolina C represents California and T represents Texas,

Given,

ST = 12x - 106,

TC = 5x + 685,

Also, SC = 2500 miles,

Suppose T is the midpoint of S and C,

⇒ ST = TC

12x - 106 = 5x + 685

7x = 791

⇒ x = \frac{791}{7} = 113

So, ST = 12(113)+106 =1356 - 106 = 1250

Now,

2\times ST = 2\times 1250=2500

⇒ 2 ST = SC

Hence, T is the midpoint of S and C.

Given, distance between South Carolina and Texas = 12x-106

Distance between Texas and California = 5x+685

Let's assume, both the distance is same.

12x-106=5x+685

=> 12x-5x = 685+106

=> 7x = 791

=>x=113

Plug x = 113 in 5x+685

5(113)+685 = 1250 Miles.

Similarly, 12(113)-106=1250 miles

Since 2500 divided by 2 = 1250 miles, hence our assumption was correct, Texas lies between both the cities.

atroni [7]

Answer:

  20 visits

Step-by-step explanation:

The club that charges $40 more for enrollment charges $2 less per visit. The savings on visits is equal to the extra enrollment charge when the number of visits is 40/2 = 20.

For 20 visits, the cost at both clubs is the same.

__

If you let v represent the number of visits, ...

  A = 60 +2v . . . . cost at club A

  B = 20 +4v . . . . cost at club B

  A = B   ⇒   60 +2v = 20 +4v . . . . . . costs are the same for "v" visits

  40 = 2v . . . . . . . subtract 20+2v from both sides

  40/2 = v = 20 . . . . . . same as "word solution" above

Darcy uses place-value blocks to show a number. She use 4 thousand blocks and 5 hundred blocks .whats is the number? How can she
Oksi-84 [34.3K]
 <span><span /><span>In this problem, it is stated that Darcy uses block in order to show the value of the number.
Place value blocks are commonly used to help or support the students to investigate the place value of the given number. It would be easy for Darcy to use a material to know the number she’s looking for.

It says here that she used 4 thousand blocks and 500 hundred blocks.
Thus, the number she’s looking for is:
=> 4thousand + 5hundred
=>4000 + 500
=> 4500</span></span>

F =del F, make the distinction its 2 different functions

in this case its a conservative vec field
u can do Del x F or curl F and see its not 0, but anyway, u can also integrate the portion in i wrt to x and portion in j component wrt to y, and see that even with the constants being functions of the variable not being integrated wrt to, you still cannot find a function g such that f(x,y)=del (g)
