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

Answer:x^{2} -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :g(x)=x^{3} +2x^{2} -x-2

Factor x+2,x=-2

Using synthesis division:

a map of a rectangle park has the length of 4inches and a with of 6 inches. It uses a scale of 1 inch every 30 miles. What is th
ratelena [41]

Answer:

720 mi²

Step-by-step explanation:

The map has a scale of 1 in: 30 mi, meaning that for every inch you see on the map, in the real-life location, it will measure 30 miles. So we can find the area of the park on the map and then turn it into miles using the scale:

Area of a rectangle:

A=bh

Replace the known values:

A=(4)(6)\\ A=24

The area on the map is 24 mi², we can turn it to miles using the scale by multiplying our result with 30:

A=(24)(30)\\ A=720

And last but not least, don't forget to put the unit!

Y=3x+62x+4y=−4 What is the value of y in the system?
Marrrta [24]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  y = 0

Step-by-step explanation:

We assume you want to find y such that ...

  • y = 3x +6
  • 2x +4y = -4

Dividing the second equation by 2, we can write an expression for x.

  x +2y = -2

  x = -2y -2

Substituting this into the first equation gives ...

  y = 3(-2y -2) +6

  y = -6y -6 +6 . . . eliminate parentheses

  7y = 0 . . . . . . . . . add 6y

  y = 0 . . . . . . . . . . divide by 7

The value of y in the system of equations is 0.

The interest rate r required to increase investment p to amount a in t years is found using the formula r=(a/p)^1-t - 1. Find th
valkas [14]
The interest rate would be 20%.

The formula is derived from the compound interest formula

A=p(1+r)^t.

We want to isolate r in this equation to rewrite the formula.  The first thing we would cancel, outside parentheses, would be p; divide both sides by p and we have

\frac{A}{p}=(1+r)^t

We want to cancel the exponent, t, next.  We can raise a power to its reciprocal to undo it; for example, raising a squared amount to the 1/2 power will undo the exponent.  We will raise both sides of this to the 1/t power:

(\frac{A}{p})^{\frac{1}{t}}=1+r

Now we cancel the 1 by subtracting, giving us

(\frac{A}{p})^{\frac{1}{t}}-1=r

Using this formula, we plug in 3600 for A, 2500 for p and 2 for t:
