Answer:

Represent the longer piece of the rope as (18 + x) and the shorter piece as x. The rope is 100 feet long, so:

(18 + x) + x = 100      Set up equation

18 + x + x = 100        Arrange like terms

18 + 2x = 100            Combine like terms

2x = 82                     Subtract 18 from both sides

x = 41                       Divide both sides by 2

Longer rope length: 12+ 31 =43 feet

Shorter rope length: 57 feet

Check: 59 + 41 = 100 feet

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

100 divided by 2 = 50

rope a 50 divided by 10 = 5 - 2 = 3 ft

rope b 100 - 3 = 97

change 9 to 5

and change 3 to 43

a = 43

b = 57

You and a group of 7 friends go out for pizza. One large pizza and 3 medium drinks cost $21.96. One large pizza and 6 medium dri
Doss [256]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

x = cost of drink

y = total cost

First information: "one large pizza and 3 medium drinks cost $21.96":

3a + b = 21.96

Second information: "one large pizza and 6 medium drinks cost $30.93":

6a + b = 30.93

{3a + b = 21.96

{6a + b = 30.93

{- 3a - b = - 21.96

{6a + b = 30.93

3a = 8.97

a = 2.99

3a + b = 21.96

3•2.99 + b = 21.96

8.97 + b = 21.96

b = 21.96 - 8.97

b = 12.99

Each drink costs $2.99 and each pizza costs $12.99. The linear function rule is:

y = 2.99x + 12.99

I hope I've helped you.

Heather can complete two problems in ten minutes, and when she started she had three problems done. Joel can complete three prob
Hunter-Best [27]
If Heather can do 2 in 10 minutes, then that means that she can do 12 in 1 hour. If Joel can do 3 in 15 minutes, then it means that he can do 12 in 1 hour. Add the number of problems they can do total and that will go between 30 and 50. It is just "less than", not "less than or equal to" because you want to know when the total number goes between the numbers.
Therefore, the correct answer must be <span>30 < 24x + 5 < 50.</span>

From a group of 12 students, we want to select a random sample of 4 students to serve on a university committee. How many combin
borishaifa [10]

Answer:

495 combinations of 4 students can be selected.

Step-by-step explanation:

The order of the students in the sample is not important. So we use the combinations formula to solve this question.

Combinations formula:

C_{n,x} is the number of different combinations of x objects from a set of n elements, given by the following formula.

C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}

How many combination of random samples of 4 students can be selected?

4 from a set of 12. So

C_{n,x} = \frac{12!}{4!(8)!} = 495

495 combinations of 4 students can be selected.

Explain (1+y)^2 how does it turn into 1+2y+y^2 ? i don't understand
Greeley [361]
I will show you the steps on how you get that answer and if you have any questions after that let me know and I'd be more than happy to help answer them for you.
The first step for solving (1 + y)² is to use the equation (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b² to expand the expression.
1² + 2 × 1y + y²
1 raised to any power equals 1,, so remove the power.
1 + 2 × 1y + y²
Calculate the product of 2 × 1y.
1 + 2y + y²
Finally,, use the commutative property to reorder the terms.
y² + 2y + 1
Let me know if you have any further questions.
