Answer: $2.45

Step-by-step explanation:

y+3x=22.85............. equation 1

10x=40

Where y ; is the base

y = 40-10x

substitute y into equation 1 (40 - 10x)

= 40-10x + 3x =22.85

Collect like terms

-10 +3x = 22.85 - 40

-7x = -17.15

Divide both side by -7

-7x / -7 = -17.15 /-7

x = $2.45

$2.45 is the price per pound

y + 10 × 2.45 = 40

Where y is the base

y + 10 × 2.45 = 40

y + 24.50=40

y = 40 - 24.50

y = 15.50

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

BASE + 3x = 22.85.....................equation 1

BASE + 10x = 40..........................equation 2

BASE = 40 - 10x

NOW SUBSTITUTE (40-10x) FOR BASE IN THE FIRST EQUATION

40 - 10x + 3x = 22.85

-7x = 22.85 - 40

-7x = -17.15

x = -17.15/-7

x = $2.45 IS THE PRICE FOR EACH POUND.

BASE + 10 x 2.45=40

BASE + 24.50=40

BASE = 40-24.50

BASE = 15.50 IS THE BASE PRICE FOR THE DELIVERY.

PROOF

15.50+3*2.45=22.85

15.50+7.35=22.85

22.85=22.85

If p=(-3,-2) and q=(1,6) are the endpoints of the diameter of a circle find the equation of the circle
stira [4]

Answer:

<em>The equation of the circle   (x +1) )² +(y-(2))² = (2(√5))²</em>

<em>   or </em>

<em>The equation of the circle    x² + 2 x + y² - 4 y  = 15</em>

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

Given points end  Points are p(-3,-2) and q( 1,6)

<em>The distance of two points formula</em>

P Q = \sqrt{x_{2} - x_{1})^{2} + ((y_{2} -y_{1})^{2}   }

P Q = \sqrt{1 - (-3)^{2} + ((6 -(-2))^{2}   }

P Q = \sqrt{16+64} = \sqrt{80}

<em>The diameter 'd' = 2 r</em>

                       2 r = √80

                            = \sqrt{16 X 5}

                           = 4 \sqrt{5}

                     <em> r =  2√5</em>

<em>Mid-point of two end points </em>

<em>                        </em>(\frac{x_{1} + x_{2} }{2} , \frac{y_{1} +y_{2} }{2} ) = (\frac{-3+1}{2} ,\frac{-2 +6}{2} )<em></em>

<em>                                               = (-1 ,2)</em>

<em>Mid-point of two end points = center of the circle</em>

<em>                                     (h,k) = (-1 , 2)</em>

                 

The equation of the circle

           (x -h )² +(y-k)² = r²

<em>          (x -(-1) )² +(y-(2))² = (2(√5))²</em>

<em>         x² + 2 x + 1 + y² - 4 y + 4 = 20</em>

<em>          x² + 2 x + y² - 4 y  = 20 -5</em>

<em>           x² + 2 x + y² - 4 y  = 15</em>

<u><em>Final answer</em></u><em>:-</em>

<em>The equation of the circle   (x +1) )² +(y-(2))² = (2(√5))²</em>

<em>   or </em>

<em>The equation of the circle    x² + 2 x + y² - 4 y  = 15</em>

<em>                  </em>

A frame is 6in tall and 8 in wide. What if it was reduced to a width of 4in then how tall will it be
kkurt [141]

Answer:

  3 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Apparently, we are to assume that the height and width are proportional:

  height/width = (6 in)/(8 in) = (new height)/(4 in)

Multiplying by 4 in will tell us the new height:

  new height = (4 in)(6/8) = 3 in

The reduced frame will be 3 inches tall.
