Answer:

lost 150

Step-by-step explanation:

X = Dante's pennies

Y = Mia's pennies

X + Y = 350                                       1/2 X = 2/3 Y

                                                               X = 4/3 Y

4/3 Y + Y = 350

7/3 Y = 350

Y = 350 * 3/7

Y = 50 * 3

Y = 150

X + 150 = 350

X = 200

                                                    1/2 * 200 = 2/3 * 150

                                                      100 .      =   100

Answer:

Altogether they lost 150 pennies.

Step-by-step explanation:

X = Dante's pennies

Y = Mia's pennies

X + Y = 350                                       1/2 X = 2/3 Y

                                                                X = 4/3 Y

4/3 Y + Y = 350

7/3 Y = 350

Y = 350 * 3/7

Y = 50 * 3

Y = 150

X + 150 = 350

X = 200

                                                     1/2 * 200 = 2/3 * 150

                                                       100 .      =   100

1/2 * 200 = 100 -> Dante lost 100 pennies

1/3 * 150 = 50 -> Mia lost 50 pennies

Altogether they lost 150 pennies.

A rectangular deck is 12ft by 14ft. When the length and width are increased by the same amount, the area becomes 288sq. ft. By h
Cerrena [4.2K]

Dimensions of rectangle = 12 + x and 14 + x

(12 + x) (14 + x) = 288

 x^2 + 26x + 168 = 288

 x^2 + 26x - 120 = 0


(x + 30) (x - 4) = 0

x=-30, x =4

 since 4 is positive

 the dimensions increased by 4 feet

check the answer

12+4 = 16

14 +4 = 18

18*16 =288

You want to put a 4 inch thick layer of topsoil for a new 28 ft by 14 ft garden. The dirt store sells by the cubic yards. How ma
Digiron [165]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1 yard = 3 feet = 36 in

so 1 in = 1/36 yard,  1 ft = 1/3 yard.

The volume of the layer of the topsoil, is:

4 in * 28 ft * 14 ft = 4 *(1/36)*23*(1/3)*17*(1/3)  yard cubed =

(4*28*14)/(36*3*3)= 1955/324=

The store only sells increments of 1/4 = 0.25 cubic yards.

we need 6.034/0.25=

So we need to buy 25 (24 will not be enough) increments of 1/4 cubic yards.

Which line is perpendicular to the<br>line -x+ y=2?​
mr Goodwill [35]

Answer:

y=  -x+b

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

the slope for the line : - x+y=2  is 1   because -x+y = 2 means  y= 1x+2

all lines perpendicular to the line -x+y=2   have equation : y = ax+b

when : a×(1) = -1   so : a=-1  

an equation is : y=  -x+b

look the graph for the line : -x+y=2 (color red) and some lines

perpendicular to this line
