Answer:

Shen served 32 orders, Aldo served 16 orders and Heather served 9 orders

Step-by-step explanation:

Let S represent Shen, A, Aldo and H, Heather

Now, let's interpret the question

Shen served 2 times as many as Aldo, this gives:

S = 2A          ...eq 1

Aldo served 7 more orders than Heater

A = 7 + H     ... eq 2

Slot in the value of A in eq 1

Therefore,

S = 2 (7 + H)

Expand the bracket

S = 14 + 2H

Shen, Heather and Aldo served a total of 57 orders

S + A + H = 57

Slot in the values of S and A

(14 + 2H) + (7 + H) + H = 57

14 + 2H + 7 + H + H = 57

Collect like terms

14 + 7 + 2H + H + H = 57

21 + 4H = 57

4H = 57 - 21

4H = 36

H = 9

Substitute the value of eq 2

A = 7 + H

A = 7 + 9

A = 16

Substitute the value of A in eq 1

S = 2A

S = 2(16)

S = 32

Therefore, Shen served 32 orders, Aldo served 16 orders and Heather served 9 orders

Find an equation of the plane that contains the points p(5,−1,1),q(9,1,5),and r(8,−6,0)p(5,−1,1),q(9,1,5),and r(8,−6,0).
topjm [15]
Given plane passes through:
p(5,-1,1), q(9,1,5), r(8,-6,0)

We need to find a plane that is parallel to the plane through all three points, we form the vectors of any two sides of the triangle pqr:
pq=p-q=<5-9,-1-1,1-5>=<-4,-2,-4>
pr=p-r=<5-8,-1-6,1-0>=<-3,5,1>

The vector product pq x pr gives a vector perpendicular to both pq and pr.  This vector is the normal vector of a plane passing through all three points
pq x pr
=
  i   j   k
-4 -2 -4
-3  5  1
=<-2+20,12+4,-20-6>
=<18,16,-26>

Since the length of the normal vector does not change the direction, we simplify the normal vector as
N = <9,8,-13>

The required plane must pass through all three points.
We know that the normal vector is perpendicular to the plane through the three points, so we just need to make sure the plane passes through one of the three points, say q(9,1,5).

The equation of the required plane is therefore
Π :  9(x-9)+8(y-1)-13(z-5)=0
expand and simplify, we get the equation
Π  :  9x+8y-13z=24

Check to see that the plane passes through all three points:
at p: 9(5)+8(-1)-13(1)=45-8-13=24
at q: 9(9)+8(1)-13(5)=81+9-65=24
at r: 9(8)+8(-6)-13(0)=72-48-0=24
So plane passes through all three points, as required.

What is the area of the trapezoid if a = 10 b= 18 and h = 6 inches?
yanalaym [24]

[ Answer ]

\boxed{\bold{84 \ In.^{2} }}

[ Explanation ]

  • Formula For Area Of Trapezoid: \boxed{\bold{\frac{a \ + \ b}{2}Height }}

-----------------------------------------

A = 10

B = 18

H = 6

  • Plug Numbers Into Equation: \boxed{\bold{\frac{10 \ + \ 18}{2}Height }}

  • Solve

10 + 18 = 28

28 ÷ 2 = 14

14 · 6 = 84

  • Final Answer

84

\boxed{\bold{[] \ Eclipsed \ []}}

Solve this equation:<br><br> 110 = 9x + 5y<br><br><br> Help please!!!❤️
Archy [21]

We can't find explicit values for x and y, since there is only one equation, but two variables.


The best we can do is solve for one variable with respect to the other:


Solve for x:


subtract 5y from both sides:


110-5y = 9x


divide both sides by 9:


\frac{110-5y}{9} = x


Solve for y:


subtract 9x from both sides:


110-9x = 5y


divide both sides by 5:


\frac{110-9x}{5} = y
