Call the amount of sugar x tons
+ <span>The first company charges 5500 to rent trucks plus an additional fee of 150.50 for each ton of sugar and we have spend: 5500+ 150.50x
+ </span><span>The second company charges 4696 to run trucks plus an additional fee of 200.75 for each tun of sugar </span>and we have spend<span>: 4696+ 200.75x

We solve x for </span>5500+ 150.50x> <span>4696+ 200.75x
or </span> 150.50x- <span>200.75x > </span>4696-5500
and  - 50.25x >  - 304
or x < 304:50.25= 6.049
So we have the answer
+ If we have at least 7 tons of sugar we choose the first company and if not we choose the second.

How do you find the coordinates of a missing side of a square (axes)​
Debora [2.8K]

Answer:So first, I found the length of the sides and the diagonal of the square, which are 18−−√ and 6 respectively. By graphing, I know the solution is (0,−1). Then, I assume that since the length between (3,2) and (−3,2) is the diagonal, then the distance between (0,5) and the remaining vertex must be the diagonal too. And since the length of the side is 6, then the distance between the vertex and either (3,2) or (−3,2) must be 6. So:

(x−3)2+(y−2)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√=18−−√

(x−0)2+(y−5)2−−−−−−−−−−−−−−−√=6

Which gives (after a bit of cleaning up):

x2+y2−10y=11

x2−6x+y2−4y=5

Then, replacing the second expression into the first one:

x2−6x+y2−4y=5⇒x2=5+6x−y2+4y

5+6x−y2+4y+y2−10y=11

5+6x+4y−10y=11

6x−6y+6

x−y=1

x=1+y

Up to this point, I know I'm not entirely wrong because the expression is true for the actual coordinates of the vertex, because 0=1+(−1) is true. But I wouldn't know how to proceed if I hadn't known the answer beforehand. I need to find both x and y, is there a linear equation I'm missing to find the exact coordinates of the last vertex? Is my process okay or is there a simpler way to do it?

What is the length of a diagonal of a cube with a side length of 8 inches?
sashaice [31]

Answer:

13.9 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the length of diagonal of cube be d inches.

\therefore \: d = length \: of \: side \sqrt{3}  \\ \hspace{16 pt}  = 8 \sqrt{3}  \\ \hspace{16 pt} =8 \times  1.73205081 \\ \hspace{16 pt} = 13.8564065 \\    \huge \red{ \boxed{\therefore \: d = 13.9 \: inches }}\\
