Answer:

A.  1.5a - 5, where 'a' is the number of apples used by Martin

B.  Martin could not have used 10 apples, because that would mean Omar used none.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'a' represent the number of apples that Martin used.  Since Omar used '5 fewer than half as many as Martin':

0.5a - 5  = the number of apples used by Omar

A.  The total of all the apples:

a + 0.5a - 5  = 1.5a - 5

B.  If Martin used 10 apples:  

a = 10

0.5(10) - 5 = 0, which means Omar would have used no apples to make applesauce

Answer:

A)An expression to show the number of apples that Martin & Omar used in all is \frac{3}{2}x-5

B)Martin could not have 10 apples

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the no. of apples used by Martin

We are given that Omar used 5 fewer than half as many apple as Martin used.

No. of apples used by Omar = \frac{1}{2}x-5

Total apples used by both =x+\frac{1}{2}x-5=\frac{3}{2}x-5

A ) So, an expression to show the number of apples that Martin & Omar used in all is \frac{3}{2}x-5

B)  Could Martin have used 10 apples

It Martin used 10 apples

So, x = 10

So, No. of apples used by Omar =\frac{1}{2}(10)-5=0

So, No. of apples used by Omar is 0 which is not possible since we are given that Omar used apples to make sauce

So, Martin could not have 10 apples

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

Oil: 10.5 oz Vinegar: 3.5 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

If the amount of vinegar is the variable x than the amount of oil is 3x. this means that x+3x=14 or 4x=14. Which means x=3.5 so vinegar is 3.5 while oil is three times that or 10.5.

100 POINTS! NEED HELP QUICKLY! Look at picture below
Delvig [45]

Answer:

60, 75

150  165

240   255

330  345

Step-by-step explanation:

csc 4 theta = -2 sqrt(3)/3

Write in terms of sin

1/ sin (4 theta) = -2 sqrt(3)/3

Using cross products

-2 sqrt(3) = 3 sin (4 theta)

Divide each side by 3

-2 sqrt(3)/3 =  sin (4 theta)

Take the inverse sin on each side

sin ^ -1(-2 sqrt(3)/3) = sin ^ -1 (sin (4 theta))

240 +360n = 4 theta

and 300 +360n = 4 theta  where n is an integer

Dividing each side by 4

240/4 +360n/4 = 4/4 theta  and   300/4 +360n/4 = 4/4 theta

60 + 90n = theta      and 75 +90n = theta

We want all the values between 0 and 360

Let n=0

60, 75

n=1

60+90=150  and 75+90 =165

n=2

60+180= 240   75+180=255

n=3

60+270 = 330  75+ 270 =345

Jon recently drove to visit his parents who live 280 miles away. On his way there his average speed was 9 miles per hour faster
Luba_88 [7]

Answer:

11 mph and 20 mph

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent his average speed going by r1 and his average speed returning by r2.  We know that r1 = r2 + 9.

Recall that distance = rate times time, so time = distance / rate.

Time spent going was (280 mi) / r1, or (280 mi) / (r2 + 9 mph).

Time spend returning was (280 mi) / r2.

The total time was 14 hrs, so (280 mi) / (r2 + 9 mph) + (280 mi) / r2 = 14 hrs

Note that there is only one variable here:  r2.  Find r2, and then from r2, find r1:

Dividing all 3 terms by 14 hrs yields:

  20            20

---------- + ----------- = 1

r2 + 9         r2

The LCD here is r2(r2 + 9).  Thus, we have:

      20r2                    (r2 +  9)(r2)

------------------- = 1 or  ------------------

 (r2 +  9)(r2)               (r2 +  9)(r2)

Then 20(r2) = (r2)^2 + 9(r2).  This is reducible by dividing all terms by r2:

20 = r2 + 9, or 11 = r2.  Then r1 = 11 + 9, or 20.

The two rates were 11 mph and 20 mph.
