Answer:

number of bricks = 16 and number of blocks  = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

From given information it seems , we need to determine number of bricks and number of blocks.

lets assume number of bricks = x

and number of blocks = y

since total items in brickyard is 28

⇒  number of bricks + number of blocks = 28

⇒ x + y = 28         ----------------------- equation 1

Given that cost of 1 brick = $0.38  and cost of 1 block =$1.56

so cost of x bricks = cost of 1 brick × x = 0.38x

And cost of y blocks = cost of 1 block × y = 1.56y

total cost of 28 items order = $24.80

total cost of 28 items = cost of x bricks + cost of y blocks

⇒0.38x + 1.56y = 24.80 ----------------equation 2

Now we are having following two equations

x + y = 28         ----------------------- equation 1

0.38x + 1.56y = 24.80 ----------------equation 2

from equation 1 we get x = 28 - y , substituting this value of x in equation 2 we get

0.38(28 - y) + 1.56y =  24.80

⇒10.64-0.38y+1.56y= 24.80

⇒1.18y = 24.80 - 10.64

⇒y = 14.16÷1.18 = 12

substituting value of y in equation 1 we get

x + 12 = 28

⇒x = 16

hence  number of bricks = x  = 16 and number of blocks = y = 12

Is a vertical line a function
topjm [15]

Answer:

No

Step-by-step explanation:

Explanation 1)A vertical line can be represented by the equation x=a, where a can be any number. If you think about it, there is no y in the function, this making it not a function.

Explanation 2) For a line to be a function it has to pass the vertical line test, so you will draw a vertical line through the function and if it touches more than one point then it is not a function. In this case if you draw a vertical line through a vertical line there are an infinite number of places where the lines intercept, so it is not a function.

Find the least number which must be added to 6203 to obtain a perfect square.
andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

79

Step-by-step explanation:

       78

         ---------

7 |       62 03 

          49

         ----------

148 |   13 03

          11 84

         -----------

            19

         -----------

78^2 = 6084.

We observe that 78^2 < 6203.

79^2 = 6241.

We observe that 79^2 > 6203.

Hence the number to be added to 6203 is 6241 - 6203 = 38.

6203 + 38 = 3241

                  = 79 * 79

                  = 79.

Therefore 38 should be added to 6203 to obtain a perfect square.
