Logan genetically engineered a new type of fir tree and a new type of pine tree. The combined height of one fir tree and one pin

e tree is 2121 meters. The height of 44 fir trees stacked on top of each other is 2424 meters taller than one pine tree. How tall are the types of trees that Logan genetically engineered? Each fir tree is meters tall and each pine tree is meters tall.

Answer:

Fir trees are 9 meters and the pine trees are 12 meters tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the height of the fir tree = x and the height of the pine tree = y (in meters).

It is given that the combined height of both the trees is 21 meters.

That is, x+y=21

Also, the height of 4 fir trees is 24 meters more than that of the pine tree.

That is, 4x=y+24 i.e. 4x-y=24

So, we get the system of equations,

x+y=21

4x-y=24

Adding both the equations, gives us,

5x = 45 i.e. x=  9.

So, x+y=21 ⇒ y= 21 - x ⇒ y= 21 - 9 ⇒ y= 12.

Thus, the fir trees are 9 meters tall and the pine trees are 12 meters tall.

17) The line that is John is closer to certain but not exactly on certain so I'd say it's "likely"

18) Using that same example as the one above, if 0 means impossible, then 1 means certain. I'd place your label for Sara at 1. 

19) Let s = sides of the square. There are 4 sides and all sides are equal so we can set up the equation 4s = 64. Divide both sides by 4. s =  16. Now add 2 to this. 16 + 2 = 18. The length of each side of the original square was 18.

20) If the scale is 1 cm : 1 meter and the height of the model is 16 cm, then the actual plane must be 16 meters. 

21) 2x and 100 are supplementary angles meaning together they must add up to 180.

2x + 100 = 180
2x = 180 - 100
2x = 80
Divide both sides by 2
x = 40

22) Assuming 3x is supposed to be the right angle, right angles are 90 degrees. 

3x = 90
Divide by 3 on both sides
x = 30.

Given the points (5, 5) and (3, 7), write a linear equation that contains both in slope-intercept form.
zlopas [31]
First find slope
(7-5)/(3-5) = 2/-2 = -1
Slope intercept: y = mx + b
Y = -1x + b, plug in point
5 = -1(5) + b, b = 10
Equation: y = -1x + 10

Step-by-step explanation:

you have to substitute ever number on the X side in the equation to get the Y

for example 1 is under x so you will take

y=20-4(1)

y=20-4

y=16
