Answer:  [B]:  -3 .
______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________
Given:
__________________________________________
  "  <span>-15r – 8 = 37 " ;   Solve for " r "  ;
__________________________________________
</span>     →  Add  "8" to each side of the equation ; 
<span>__________________________________________
     </span>→  -15r – 8 + 8 = 37 + 8 ; 
__________________________________________
to get:
__________________________________________
     →  -15r  =  45 ;
__________________________________________
     → Divide EACH side of the equation by "-15" ; to isolate the variable, "r", on one side of the equation; and to solve for, "r" ; 
___________________________________________
     →  -15r / -15  =  45 / -15 ;
___________________________________________
          →   r  =  - 3  ; which is our answer; 
________________________________________
          →   which is:  Answer choice:  [B]:  "-3" .

The design of a digital box camera maximizes the volume while keeping the sum of the dimensions at 6 inches. If the length must
love history [14]
H = x, L = 1.5 x;  
L + W + H = 6
x + 1.5 x + W = 6
W = 6 - 2.5 x
Dimensions of the camera in terms of x:
x,  1.5 x,  6 - 2.5 x.
V = L x W x H
V = x * 1.5 x * ( 6 - 2.5 x ) = 9 x² - 3.75 x³
V ` = 18 x - 11.25 x² ( V max is when V` = 0 )
18 x - 11.25 x² = 0
x ( 18 - 11.25 x ) = 0
11.25 x = 18
x = 18 : 11.25
x = 1.6
The dimensions are:
L = 2.4
W = 2.0
H = 1.6

Some friends of yours collected books for a book drive. They collected 64 Fiction, and 48 Non-Fiction books. They asked you to m
Cloud [144]

As all of the bundles have the same content inside, so assuming that there is x number of Fiction books and y number of Non-fiction books in each bundle.

Let n be the total number of bundles that my team can send.

There are 64 Fiction books, so

nx=64 ...(i)

Or x=64/n ...(ii)

also, there are 48 Non-Fiction books, so

ny=48 ...(iii)

Or y=48/n ...(iv)

Observing that the numbers x, y, and n are counting numbers and from equations (i) and (iii), n is the common factor of 64 and 48.

The possible common factors of 64 and 48 are,

n=1,2,4,8, and 16.

So, my team can send 1,2,3,4,8 or 16 bundles of books.

Now, from equations (ii) and (iv),

For n=1:

x=64/1=64

y=48/1=48

So, for 1 bundle the number of Fiction and Non-fictions books are 64 and 48 respectively.

For n=2:

x=64/2=32

y=48/2=48

So, for 2 bundles, the number of Fiction and Non-fictions books are 32 and 24 respectively.

For n=4:

x=64/4=16

y=48/4=12

So, for 4 bundles, the number of Fiction and Non-fictions books are 16 and 12 respectively.

For n=8:

x=64/8=8

y=48/8=6

So, for 8 bundles, the number of Fiction and Non-fictions books are 8 and 6 respectively.

For n=16:

x=64/16=4

y=48/16=3

So, for 16 bundles, the number of Fiction and Non-fictions books are 4 and 3 respectively.
