Answer:

Marta's rope is 94"

Step-by-step explanation:

D = dilberts rope length

M = marta's rope length

Marta's jump rope is 10" shorter than four times the length of Dilbert's rope

M = 4D-10

both their ropes laid together end to end and measured 120" long

M+D = 120

Substitute 4D-10 for M in the second equation

4D-10 + D = 120

Combine like terms

5D-10=120

Add 10 to each side

5D-10+10 =120+10

5D =130

Divide by 5

5D/5 = 130/5

D =26

Now we need to find M

M+D = 120

M +26 = 120

Subtract 26 from each side

M = 120-26

M = 94

Match the parabolas represented by the equations with their vertices. y = x2 + 6x + 8 y = 2x2 + 16x + 28 y = -x2 + 5x + 14 y = -
GaryK [48]

Consider all parabolas:

1.

y = x^2 + 6x + 8,\\y=x^2+6x+9-9+8,\\y=(x^2+6x+9)-1,\\y=(x+3)^2-1.

When x=-3, y=-1, then the point (-3,-1) is vertex of this first parabola.

2.

y = 2x^2 + 16x + 28=2(x^2+8x+14),\\y=2(x^2+8x+16-16+14),\\y=2((x^2+8x+16)-16+14),\\y=2((x+4)^2-2)=2(x+4)^2-4.

When x=-4, y=-4, then the point (-4,-4) is vertex of this second parabola.

3.

y =-x^2 + 5x + 14=-(x^2-5x-14),\\y=-(x^2-5x+\dfrac{25}{4}-\dfrac{25}{4}-14),\\y=-((x^2-5x+\dfrac{25}{4})-\dfrac{25}{4}-14),\\y=-((x-\dfrac{5}{2})^2-\dfrac{81}{4})=-(x-\dfrac{5}{2})^2+\dfrac{81}{4}.

When x=2.5, y=20.25, then the point (2.5,20.25) is vertex of this third parabola.

4.

y =-x^2 + 7x + 7=-(x^2-7x-7),\\y=-(x^2-7x+\dfrac{49}{4}-\dfrac{49}{4}-7),\\y=-((x^2-7x+\dfrac{49}{4})-\dfrac{49}{4}-7),\\y=-((x-\dfrac{7}{2})^2-\dfrac{77}{4})=-(x-\dfrac{7}{2})^2+\dfrac{77}{4}.

When x=3.5, y=19.25, then the point (3.5,19.25) is vertex of this fourth parabola.

5.

y =2x^2 + 7x +5=2(x^2+\dfrac{7}{2}x+\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=2(x^2+\dfrac{7}{2}x+\dfrac{49}{16}-\dfrac{49}{16}+\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=2((x^2+\dfrac{7}{2}x+\dfrac{49}{16})-\dfrac{49}{16}+\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=2((x+\dfrac{7}{4})^2-\dfrac{9}{16})=2(x+\dfrac{7}{4})^2-\dfrac{9}{8}.

When x=-1.75, y=-1.125, then the point (-1.75,-1.125) is vertex of this fifth parabola.

6.

y =-2x^2 + 8x +5=-2(x^2-4x-\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=-2(x^2-4x+4-4-\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=-2((x^2-4x+4)-4-\dfrac{5}{2}),\\y=-2((x-2)^2-\dfrac{13}{2})=-2(x-2)^2+13.

When x=2, y=13, then the point (2,13) is vertex of this sixth parabola.

2/3x + 1/6 = -3/4 x + 1
Marta_Voda [28]
Multiply all terms by 12/1 to get rid of fractions.
8x+2= -9x+12

Add 9x to both sides
17x+2=12

Subtract 2 from both sides
17x=10

Divide both sides by 17
x=10/17

Final answer: x=10/17
