the number is - 1

let the number be n then 6 times the number is 6n and added to -4 is

- 4 + 6n = 10n ( equal to 10 times the number )

subtract 6n from both sides

- 4 = 4n ( divide both sides by 4 )

\frac{-4}{4} = n , hence n = - 1

Kenny had 5/7 more trading cards than lee. After Kenny collected 50% more trading cards, he had 220 more trading cards than lee.
svp [43]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X is the number of cards Kenny has

Let Y is the number of cards Lee has

1. Kenny had 5/7 more trading cards than lee, it means

X = Y + 5/7X (1)

2. After Kenny collected 50% more trading cards, he had 220 more trading cards than lee, it means:

X + 50%X = Y +  220 (2)

So, we solve the 2 equations to find out X and Y

\left \{ {{X=Y + 5/7X} \atop {1.5X=Y +220}} \right.

<=> X = \frac{3080}{17} and Y = \frac{880}{17}

<=> X ≈181 and Y ≈ 52

Dan is comparing the cost of having printed and prepared by two companies
Kay [80]

For 4 copies, the total cost for preparing and printing will be the same.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let,

p be the number of pages

Company A;

Charges of preparing = $6

Charges of per page print = $2.50

A(p)= 2.50p + 6   Eqn 1

Company B;

Charges of preparing = $4

Charges of per page print = $3

B(p)= 3p + 4    Eqn 2

For equaling the cost;

A(p) = B(p)

2.50p+6=3p+4\\2.50p-3p=4-6\\-0.50p=-2

Dividing both sides by -0.50

\frac{-0.50p}{-0.50}=\frac{-2}{-0.50}\\p=4

For 4 copies, the total cost for preparing and printing will be the same.

Plant A: A graph has time (weeks) on the x-axis, and height (inches) on the y-axis. A line goes through points (0, 3), (1, 4.8),
butalik [34]

Answer:

The correct option is;

No, The greater rate of change of Plant A will result in it being 0.9 inches taller in 6 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

The parameters given are;

Plant A:

Weeks,    Height

0,               3

1,                4.8

2,               6.6

3,               8.4

The rate of change of height, H per week, t,\left (\dfrac{dH}{dt} \right )  for plant A per week is therefore;

\dfrac{dH}{dt} =  \dfrac{H_n - H_{(n-1)} }{t_n - t_{(n-1)}} = \dfrac{8.4 - 3 }{3 - 0} = \dfrac{5.4}{3} = 1.8 \ inches/week

Therefore we have;

H = 1.8 × t + 3

At week 6,

H = 3 + 6×1.8 = 13.8 inches

Plant B

Weeks,    Height

2,               7.3

3,               8.7

4,               10.1

The rate of change of height, H per week, t,\left (\dfrac{dH}{dt} \right )  for plant B per week is given as follows;

\dfrac{dH}{dt} =  \dfrac{H_n - H_{(n-1)} }{t_n - t_{(n-1)}} = \dfrac{10.1 - 7.3 }{4 - 2} = \dfrac{2.8}{2} = 1.4 \ inches/week

Therefore we have;

When t = 2, H = 7.3 hence, 7.3 = 2 × 1.4 + H₀

Where:

H₀ = H at t = 0

H₀ = 7.3 - 2 × 1.4 = 4.5

At week 6 we have;

H = 4.5 + 6×1.4 = 12.9 inches

Which indicates that Plant A will be 0.9 inches taller than Plant B at week 6.

The correct option is therefore;

No, The greater rate of change of Plant A will result in it being 0.9 inches taller in 6 weeks.
