Answer:

y=10 ( number of acrobat)

Step-by-step explanation:

let x be the elephant and y the acrobat

elephant has 4 legs and acrobat 2

4x+2y=40

x+y=15  ⇒x=15-y

substitute for x in the equation:

4(15-y)+2y=40

60-4y+2y=40

-2y=40-60

y=-20/-2

y=10 ( number of acrobat)

number of elephant=15-10=5 elephants

What polynomial has a graph that passes through the given points?
Evgen [1.6K]
The answer is <span>B. y = x^3 + 4x^2 + 2x - 2 

A line that passes through all given point is the correct choice. Now, substitute x and y in all of the choices:

</span>B. y = x³ + 4x²<span> + 2x - 2 
Point 1: </span><span>(-2, 2) 
x = -2
y = 2
____
2 = (-2)</span>³ + 4 *(-2)² + 2 * (-2) - 2
2 = -8 + 4 * 4 + (-4) - 2
2 = -8 + 16 - 4 - 2
2 = 2
_____

Point 2: (-1, -1) 
x = -1
y = -1
____
-1 = (-1)³ + 4 *(-1)² + 2 * (-1) - 2
-1 = -1 + 4 * 1 + (-2) - 2
-1 = -1 + 4 - 2 - 2 
-1 = -1
____

Point 3: (1, 5) 
x = 1
y = 5
____
5 = (1)³ + 4 *(1)² + 2 * 1 - 2
5 = 1 + 4 * 1 + 2 - 2
5 = 1 + 4 + 2 - 2
5 = 5
____

Point 4: (3, 67) 
x = 3
y = 67
____
67 = (3)³ + 4 *(3)² + 2 * (3) - 2
67 = 27 + 4 * 9 + 6 - 2
67 = 27 + 36 + 6 - 2
67 = 67

So, line B passes through all choices.

i need help. Semir, Sarah, and SungSo decided to raise money for a local homeless shelter by working in a local deli. The deli a
IgorLugansk [536]
According to the question, 
Let,
"n" represent the number of miles semir walked.
"y" represent the number of miles sarah walked.
Now, according to the question,

y = 2n - 5  ........................this is your equation 
Also,
the question states, each of them collect $18 in pledges for every miles walked.

Given,
Sarah collected $450
Now, 

Using unitary method,

Sarah collects $18 for 1 mile
Sarah collects $1 for (1 / $18) mile
Sarah collects $450 for (1 / 18) * 450 mile
                                   = 25 miles
So, Sarah walks 25 miles.
Now,
Taking equation,
y = 2n - 5
Since, y is the no. of miles sarah walked, we can write 25 in place of "y" So,
(25) = 2n - 5
25 + 5 = 2n
30 = 2n
30 / 2 = n
15 = n

Since, "n" is the no. of miles that semir walked, Semir walked 15 miles.

Suppose your car has hhh liters of engine oil in the morning. During the day, some oil may have leaked, you may have added more
Igoryamba

Answer:

g = (h+a) - l

None of them

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose your car has h liters of engine oil in the morning. During the day, some oil may have leaked, you may have added more oil, or both. The oil level in the evening is g liters. Which of the following expressions always represents how far away the new oil level is from the previous oil level? H+G lGl none of them

Let

h = liters of oil in the morning

l= liters that has leaked

a= liters that were added during the day

g= amount of liters at the end of the evening

Total liters of oil in the evening= (litres of oil in the morning + litres of oil added during the day) - litres of oil that leaked

Substituting each variable into the formula, we have

g = (h+a) - l

The simplified answer is -17^6\\

If you are dividing powers with like terms you subtract the denominator to the numerator.

\frac{-17^8}{-17^2} = -17^6
