Answer:

There are 54 green marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

Make two equations and you are going to solve them like systems of equations. Have x=green marbles and y=blue marbles.

x + y = 68

x = 4y - 2

Since we are finding the green marbles, we need to solve for x.

Rewrite the second equation: (x + 2)/4 = y

Solve the systems with the rewritten equation.

x + (x + 2)/4 = 68

x/1 + (x+2)/4 = 68

4x/4 + (x+2)/4 = 68

(4x + x +2)/4 = 68

(5x + 2)/4 = 68/1

Cross multiply

5x + 2 = 68(4)

5x + 2 = 272

5x = 270

x = 54

You can find the blue marbles just to check your work.

(4y - 2) + y = 68

5y - 2 = 68

5y = 70

y = 14

54 (green marbles) + 14 (blue marbles) = 68

A company sells tents in two styles, shown below. The sides and floor of each tent are made of nylon. Which tent requires less n
BartSMP [9]

Answer:  Tunnel tent.

Step-by-step explanation:

The tent which has the minimum area requires less nylon to manufacture,

Since, the area of Pup tent = Area of 3 square each having side 8 ft + Area of 2 equilateral triangle having side 8 ft

= 3 \times ( 8^2 ) + 2\times \frac{64\sqrt{ 3} }{4}

=  192+ 2\times \frac{64\sqrt{ 3} }{4}

= 192+ 32\sqrt{ 3}

= 247.425625842\approx 247.43\text { square ft}

Now, the area of tunnel tent = Area of square having side 8 ft + total Area of half cylinder having radius 4 ft and height 8 ft

= 8^2 + \frac{1}{2} [ 2\pi\times 4(4+8)]

= 64 + \pi\times 48

= 64 + 3.14\times 48

= 214.72\text { square ft}

Since, 214.72 < 247.43

Thus, Tunnel tent requires less nylon to manufacture.

For the given function, x can have what value?
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

x cannot be -4,-3, or 13

x can be anything else

Step-by-step explanation:

There are infinitely many values x can take where the relation above will be a function.

For it to be a function, you just need to make sure each x is only assigned one y value.

So x couldn't be -4 because it would by assigned to y=2 and y=0.

x couldn't be -3 because it would be assigned to y=1 and y=0.

x couldn't be 13 because it would be assigned to y=5 and y=0.

So as long as x is not chosen to be -4,-3, or 13 your relation here is a function.
