The soccer team collected $800 at a car wash fundraiser. They charged $5.00 for small vehicles and $10.00 for larger vehicles. T

he amount collected can be modeled by the equation 5x + 10y = 800, where x represents the number of small vehicles and y represents the number of larger vehicles. If the number of larger vehicles washed was 50, how many small vehicles were washed in total?

Answer:

Number of small vehicles washed were 60.

Step-by-step explanation:

Soccer team collected $800 by charging $5 for the small vehicles and $10 for larger vehicles.

Amount collected was modeled by the equation

5x + 10y = 800

Where x = Number of small vehicles

y = Number of larger vehicles

If y = 5 then we have to calculate the number of small vehicles washed.

By putting y = 50 in the equation,

5x + 10(50) = 800

5x + 500 = 800

5x = 800 - 500

5x = 300

x = \frac{300}{5}

x = 60

Therefore, number of small vehicles washed were 60.

Plug 50 into y and find x.

5x + 10 (50) = 800
5x + 500 = 800
5x = 800 - 500
5x = 300
x = 300 ÷ 5
x = 60

A right triangle has an area of 98 square inches. If the triangle is not an Isosceles triangle, what are the all possible length
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

The possible length of the triangle =

1) (1inches, 196inches)

2) (2incheq, 98inches)

3) (4inches , 49 inches)

4) (7 inches , 28 inches)

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told the above Triangle is not an Isosceles Triangle

Hence, we assume it is a right angle triangle

The area of a triangle is = 1/2 × Base × Height

= let us represent Base and Height = x

Hence:

1/2 × x × x = 98

x² /2 = 98

Cross Multiply

x² = 98 × 2

x² = 196

Step 2

We find the factors of 196

1× 196 = 196 (1, 196)

2 × 98 = 196 (2, 98)

4 ×49 = 196 (4, 49)

7 × 28 = 196 (7, 28)

Therefore, all the possible length of the triangle =

1) (1inches, 196inches)

2) (2incheq, 98inches)

3) (4inches , 49 inches)

4) (7 inches , 28 inches)

A garden box has a perimeter of 18½ feet. If the length is 5 feet, what is the area of the garden box?
Travka [436]

Answer:

area=\frac{85}{4}feet^{2}

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

Since it is given that the garden box is a rectangle, then the opposite sides are congruent. One can use this to their advantage, by setting up an equation that enables them to solve for the width of the rectangle. After doing so, one will multiply the width by the given length and solve for the area.

2. Solve for the width

It is given that the garden box is a rectangle. As per its definition, opposite sides in a rectangle are congruent. The problem gives the length and the perimeter of the rectangle, therefore, one can set up an equation and solve for the width.

perimeter=18\frac{1}{2}\\\\length=5

2(length+width)=perimeter

Substitute,

2(5+width)=18\frac{1}{2}

Conver the mixed number to an improper fraction. This can be done by multiplying the "number" part of the mixed number by the denominator of the fraction. Then add the result to the numerator.

2(5+width)=\frac{37}{2}

Inverse operations,

2(5+width)=\frac{37}{2}\\/2\\\\5+width=\frac{37}{4}\\-5\\\\width=\frac{17}{4}

3. Solve for the area

Now that one has solved for the width of the box, one must solve for the area. This can be done by multiplying the length by the width. Since the width is a fraction, one must remember, that when multiplying an integer by a fraction, one will multiply the integer by the numerator (the top of the fraction), and then simplify by reducing the fraction, if possible. Reducing the fraction is when one divides both the numerator and the denominator by the GCF (Greatest Common Factor).

length=5\\\\width = \frac{17}{4}

length*width=area

Substitute,

5*\frac{17}{4}\\\\=\frac{85}{4}

area=\frac{85}{4}feet^{2}

Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

3. x=16

4. x=51

Step-by-step explanation:

3. 3x-8=x+24

2x=32

x=16

4. 2/3(x+27)= 180-(3x-25)

2/3x+18=180-3x+25

11/3x=187

11x=561

x=51
