Answer:

outer ring worth 14 pts

bull's-eye worth 74.333333 pts

Step-by-step explanation:

let the worth point of landing an arrow on the outer ring be "x" and on bull's eye be "y"

For amelia

3x + 3y = 267

For joey

4x + 3y = 281

x = 14

3x + 3y = 267

42 + 3y = 267

3y = 223

y = 74.333

(x^(2)-11x+30)/(x^(2)-25)*(x^(2)+6x+5)/(x-5x-6) simplify the rational expression
DanielleElmas [232]
Simplify the following:
((x^2 - 11 x + 30) (x^2 + 6 x + 5))/((x^2 - 25) (x - 5 x - 6))

The factors of 5 that sum to 6 are 5 and 1. So, x^2 + 6 x + 5 = (x + 5) (x + 1):
((x + 5) (x + 1) (x^2 - 11 x + 30))/((x^2 - 25) (x - 5 x - 6))

The factors of 30 that sum to -11 are -5 and -6. So, x^2 - 11 x + 30 = (x - 5) (x - 6):
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/((x^2 - 25) (x - 5 x - 6))

x - 5 x = -4 x:
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/((x^2 - 25) (-4 x - 6))

Factor -2 out of -4 x - 6:
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3) (x^2 - 25))

x^2 - 25 = x^2 - 5^2:
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/(-2 (x^2 - 5^2) (2 x + 3))

Factor the difference of two squares. x^2 - 5^2 = (x - 5) (x + 5):
((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/(-2(x - 5) (x + 5) (2 x + 3))

((x - 5) (x - 6) (x + 5) (x + 1))/((x - 5) (x + 5) (-2) (2 x + 3)) = ((x - 5) (x + 5))/((x - 5) (x + 5))×((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3)) = ((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3)):
((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3))

Multiply numerator and denominator of ((x - 6) (x + 1))/(-2 (2 x + 3)) by -1:

Answer: (-(x - 6) (x + 1))/(2 (2 x + 3))

Joe's gas tank is 1/4 full. After he buys 6 gallons of gas, it is 5/8 full. How many gallons can Joe's tank hold?
Korolek [52]

Answer:

Amount of gas that can be hold by Joe's tank = 16 gallons.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that Joe's gas tank is 1/4 full. After he buys 6 gallons of gas, it is 5/8 full. Now we need to find about how many gallons can Joe's tank hold.

So let's find change that happened after filling the gas.

Change = (5/8 full) - (1/4 full)

Change = (5/8 - 1/4)  full

Change = (5/8 - 2/8)  full

Change = (5 - 2)/8  full

Change = 3/8  full

So that means 3/8 full happens in 6 gallons

then 1 full will happen in 6/(3/8) gallons = 6*(8/3) gallons = 48/3 gallons = 16 gallons

So the amount of gas that can be hold by Joe's tank = 16 gallons.
