Answer:The number of days it will take to sell the same amount of cookies is 3 and the number of tubs that will be sold is 27

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of days it will take either of them to sell the same number of tubs.

Let y represent the total number of tubs that that Joseph will sell in x days.

Let z represent the total number of tubs that that Dwayne will sell in x days.

Joseph has already sold 3 tubs. If Joseph starts selling 8 tubs per day, it means that in x days, the number of tubs that he will sell will be

y = 8x + 3

Dwayne hasn't sold any yet. If Dwayne begins selling 9 tubs per day, it means that in x days, the number of tubs that he will sell will be

z = 9x

To determine the number of days it will take to sell the same amount of cookies, we will equate y to z. It becomes

8x + 3 = 9x

9x - 8x = 3

x = 3

The number of tubs that each will sell will be 9x = 9×3 = 27

Need to find surface area
quester [9]

Find the area for each shape.

For the triangle face you would do 4 times 6 divided by 2. Then times it by 2 because there are two triangle faces.

For the rectangle face do 5 times 12, then times 3 because there are 3 triangle faces.

Finally add both numbers together to get the surface area.

Symbol for 1 thousandth of a meter?
laila [671]

The micrometre (International spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures;[1] SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American spelling), alsocommonly known as a micron, is an SI derived unit of length equaling 1×10−6 of ametre (SI standard prefix "micro-" = 10−6); that is, one millionth of a metre (or one thousandth of a millimetre, 0.001 mm, or about 0.000039 inch).[1] The symbol μm is sometimes rendered as um if the symbol μ cannot be used, or if the writer is not aware of the distinction.<span>[citation needed]</span>

The micrometre is a common unit of measurement for wavelengths of infrared radiation as well as sizes of biological cells and bacteria and is also commonly used in plastics manufacturing.[1] Micrometres are the standard for grading wool by the diameter of the fibres; wool finer than 25 μm can be used for garments, while coarser grades are used for outerwear, rugs, and carpets.[2] The width of a single human hair ranges from approximately 10 to 200 μm. The first and longest human chromosome is 10μm in length.

THEIR AGES
snow_tiger [21]

Answer:

Tom’s age is 7 years

Mary’s age is 13 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we do not know the ages, let’s represent the ages by variables at first.

Let m represent mary’s age will t represent Tom’s age.

Now, let’s proceed to have equations.

Adding square of Tom’s age (t^2) to mary’s age give 62

t^2 + m = 62 •••••••(i)

Adding square of mary’s age (m^2) to Tom’s age give 176

m^2 + t = 176 •••••••(ii)

Now, to get the individual ages, we will need to solve both equations simultaneously.

Solving both equations simultaneously without mathematical softwares can be a little hard.

By the use of mathematical software ( wolfram alpha to be specific), we can input both equations and allow the software to solve.

By inputing these equations, we have the values of t to be 7 and m to be 13

And if we try to check by inspection, we can see that these values are actually correct.

7^2 + 13 = 62

13^2 + 7 = 176

MissTica

Dana:

Starts with 25 = 25

Spends 10 = 25 - 10 = 15

Received 50 = 15 + 50 = 65

New tires cost 75 = 65 - 75 = -10

Tracey:

Starts with 50 = 50

Gets gas for 25 = 50 - 25 = 25

Received 100 = 25 + 125 = 125

Purchased boots for 150 = 125 - 150 = -25

Tracey ends up with the least amount of money after their purchases.

Hope this helps! :)
