Hey there!

First, let's list the factors of 40:

1 x 40, 2 x 20, 4 x 10, 5 x 8,

We need to figure out which pair of factors has a sum of 13.

1 + 40 = 41 --> Nope

2 + 20 = 22 --> Nope

4 + 10 = 14 --> Nope

5 + 8 = 13 --> Yes!

The two numbers that have a product of 40 and a sum of 13 are 5 and 8.

Hope this helps!

Has 6 cups of berries

2/3 cup of berries for each serving

Number of servings = 6 ÷ 2/3
6 × 3/2 = 3*3 = 9 When ÷ changes to × invert the fraction.

Number of servings = 9

PLEASE HELP ME ASAP!!!!

Part A

$\overline{AC}$ and $\overline{BD}$

Part B

Diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other, so

$BE=ED \implies 2x+3=3y-4 \implies 3y=2x+7 \implies y=\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{7}{3}\\\\AE=EC \implies y+4=4x-6 \implies y=4x-10$

Solving by substitution,

$\frac{2}{3}x+\frac{7}{3}=4x-10$

Multiplying both sides by 3,

$2x+7=12x-30\\\\37=10x\\\\x=3.7$

So, $y=\frac{2}{3}\left(\frac{37}{10} \right)+\frac{7}{3}=\frac{24}{5}$

Part C

$BE=ED=2(3.7)+3=10.4\\\\AE=EC=4(3.7)-6=8.8$

$\therefore BD=2(10.4)=20.8, AC=2(8.8)=17.6$

For breakfast, Clarissa can choose from oatmeal, cereal, French toast, or scrambled eggs. If she selects a breakfast at random,

Sholpan [36]

The probability that she will choose oatmeal is 1/4. Oatmeal is one choice out of the four possible choices of oatmeal, cereal, French toast, and scrambled eggs. So the answer is 1/4 or 25%.

What is the solution to this system of equations? -5.9 x-3.7 y = -2.1. 5.9 x + 3.7 y = 2.1. a. (0, Negative 2.1) b.(0, 2.1) c. i

fenix001 [56]

Assuming your system of equations is

$\begin{cases}-5.9 x-3.7 y = -2.1\\ 5.9 x + 3.7 y = 2.1\end{cases}$

The answer is C. Infinitely many solutions. If my assumption is incorrect, then the answer will be likely different.

The reason why it's "infinitely many solutions" is because the first equation is the same as the second equation. The only difference is that everything was multiplied by -1. You could say that both sides were multiplied by -1.

Both equations given graph out the same line. They overlap perfectly yielding infinitely many solution points on the line.
