Jonathan collects postcards and stamps. The number of postcards in his collection is 12 more than 3/4 the number of stamps. He h

zimovet [89]

For this case we define the following variable:

<em>x: number of stamps </em>

We now write the equation that models the problem:

$\frac {3} {4} x + 12 = 39$

From here, we clear the value of x.

We have then:

$\frac {3} {4} x = 39-12\\\frac {3} {4} x = 27\\x = (\frac {4} {3}) (27)\\x = (4) (9)\\x = 36$

Answer:

The number of stamps he has is:

$x = 36$

Consider the linear function f(x)=mx+b, where m ≠0, on the interval [3,7]. Explain why the maximum value of the function over th

oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

the function is either increasing or decreasing

Step-by-step explanation:

For m ≠ 0, the function must be either increasing or decreasing. If the function is increasing, it will have its maximum value at the right end of the interval. If it is decreasing, its maximum value will be at the left end of the interval.

Find the values of x and y.

Elis [28]

Answer:

Option A

x=6 , y=9

Step-by-step explanation:

As we can see in the figure that point T is the mid point of rectangle and there are two diagonals QS and PR

So in basic geometry we know that the length of the diagonal from the mid point i.e. Taking the diagonal QS the length of QT and TS would be equal because they are same diagonal which is cut into two parts by point T

Similarly the Length of RT and the length of TP would be same

From all this we deduct that

3x = 2y ..................(i)

and

y + 3 = 2x ................(ii)

From equation (i)

3x = 2y

Dividing both sides by 3 the equation becomes

x= $\frac{2y}{3}$ ....................(iii)

Putting this value in equation (ii)

y + 3 = 2( $\frac{2y}{3}$ )

y+3 = $\frac{4y}{3}$

multiplying both sides by 3

3(y+3)= $\frac{4y*3}{3}$

the equation becomes

3y+9=4y

subtracting 3y from both sides

3y-3y+9=4y-3y

y=9

Putting the value of y in equation (iii)

x= $\frac{2*9}{3}$

solving it

x= $\frac{18}{3}$

x=6

so x=6 and y=9 is answer which is option A
