1 ton = 2000 lbs
so we just need to divide 50,000 by 2000 and we have our answer
$\frac{50000}{2000} =$ 25 tons

WILL GIVE 5 STARS TO THE PERSON WHO HELPS WITH AN EXPLANATION!!! If the 32 ounce bottle is 20% more than the typical bottle, how

Aleks04 [339]

So if 32 oz is 20% more than the average bottle, you multiply 32 by .20 which gives you 6.4. This means that the 32 oz bottle is 6.4 oz more than the regular bottle. Furthermore, 32 - 6.4 = 25.6 so that's how big the typical bottle is.

Solve 5x^2 - 7x + 2 = 0 by completing the square.

Reika [66]

Answer: The correct option is (c) $\dfrac{49}{100}.$

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to solve the following quadratic equation by the method of completing the square:

$5x^2-7x+2=0~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

Also, we are to find the constant added on both sides to form the perfect square trinomial.

We have from equation (i) that

$5x^2-7x+2=0\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-\dfrac{7}{5}x+\dfrac{2}{5}=0\\\\\\\Rightarrow x^2-2\times x\times \dfrac{7}{10}+\left(\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2+\dfrac{2}{5}=\left(\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(x-\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2=\dfrac{49}{100}-\dfrac{2}{5}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(x-\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2=\dfrac{49-40}{100}\\\\\\\Rightarrow \left(x-\dfrac{7}{10}\right)^2=\dfrac{9}{100}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x-\dfrac{7}{10}=\pm\dfrac{3}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\pm\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{7}{10}.$

So,

$x=\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{7}{10},~~~~~~~~x=-\dfrac{3}{10}+\dfrac{7}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{10}{10},~~~~~~~~\Rightarrow x=\dfrac{-3+7}{10}\\\\\\\Rightarrow x=1,~-\dfrac{2}{5}.$

Thus, the required solution is $x=1,~-\dfrac{2}{5}.$ and the value of the constant added is $\dfrac{49}{100}.$

Option (c) is correct.

The horizontal line segment at the top of the polygon on the grid below is how many units long?

Ymorist [56]

Answer:

6 units long.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

A polygon drawn on a graph.

In order to determine the distance of the horizontal line at the top, we find the coordinates of the end points and then use distance formula to find the exact distance.

Let us label the polygon as ABCD as shown below. AB is the length of the horizontal line.

Coordinates of A are $(x_1,y_1)=(-3, 4)$ as seen in the graph.
