Point V lies between points U and W on line UW. The distance between U and V is 2x-4, and the distance between V and W is 4x+10.

If UW = 9x – 9, what is UW in units?

Answer:

36UNITS

Step-by-step explanation:

If point V lies between U and W, then UV+VW = UW

given parameters

UV = 2x-4

VW = 4x+10

UW = 9x-9

Substituting the given functions in the formula first, we will have;

2x-4+4x+10 = 9x-9

6x+6 = 9x-9

Collect like terms

6x-9x = -9-6

-3x = -15

x = -15/-3

x = 5

Substitute x = 5 into UW.

Since UW = 9x-9

UW = 9(5)-9

UW = 45-9

UW = 36

Pineapples cost $2.50 each and mangos cost $1.50 each. Tim purchased 15 pieces of fruit for $29.50. How many pineapples and how
kotykmax [81]
We can create equations to solve this.

2.50p + 1.50m = 29.50
p + m = 15

Solve for a variable in the 2nd equation and use the substitution method to solve.

p + m = 15

Subtract p to both sides:

m = -p + 15

Plug in -p + 15 for m in the first equation.

2.50p + 1.50(-p + 15) = 29.50

Distribute:

2.50p - 1.50p + 22.50 = 29.50

Combine like terms:

p + 22.50 = 29.50

Subtract 22.50 to both sides:

p = 7

Now plug this into any of the two equations and solve for the other variable.

p + m = 15

7 + m = 15

Subtract 7 to both sides:

m = 8

So he purchased 7 pineapples and 8 mangos.

Your basketball team scored 4 fewer than twice as many points, x, as the other team. write an expression for the number of point
Ksju [112]
2x-4
If x is the amount the other team scored then the 2x is double. This gives that 4 less than double the amount of the other team would be minus 4

If the data for the heights of players on a basketball team is skewed right, which statistical measure represents the spread of
mestny [16]

Answer:

Median

Step-by-step explanation:

I know that you can't do Range, since it's skewed right.

The mean can't be it since it's also not representative when it's skewed right.

I'd say Median, or IQR at first glance but if you look at a graph, the IQR might follow with the skewed and move over a bit.

That leaves Median.

If f(x) = 8, what is f(x) when x = 10?
poizon [28]
F(x) = 8.

This is a constant function. No matter the value of x, f(x) will always be = 8

Therefore when x = 10,   f(x) = 8.
