Answer:

Minimum number of calls = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets name the five people as A,B,C,D and E.

<u>On the night before ,each person talks to every other person atleast once that means A would talk to B,C,D and E atleast once.</u>

Lets start with A. He would talk to other 4 people which means there would be 4 phone calls made.

Now lets take B. He can talk to A,C,D and E. But  A has already talked to C therefore to get minimum number of phone calls , B need not call A again. So he calls only C,D and E.

In case of C using similar logic he need to talk to only D and E.

For D , he talks to E alone.

E does not have to talk to anyone as he has already talked to everyone atleast once.

Total calls = 4 + 3 + 2 + 1

                    = 10

P = -2p - 15<br><br> I need help plz. Thanks!
mihalych1998 [28]

Answer: p=−5

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Add 2p to both sides.

p+2p=−2p−15+2p

3p=−15

Step 2: Divide both sides by 3.

3p/3 = −15/3

p=−5

Scale Drawings question
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

138 is the answer

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the perimeter, we use this formula

P=2(l+w)

And to find the width, we use this formula

w = P/2 - L = 18/2 - 3 = 6

So the width is 6

3 × 6 = 18

So thats why the perimeter of the top triangle is 18

We do 21 ÷ 3 = 7, 7 = scale factor

To find the perimeter of the bottom triangle, we do

the width of the top rectangle times 7

so 6 × 7 = 48

So the perimeter for the bottom triangle is

P=2(l+w)=2·(48+21)=138

Let every line = 1 unit:

Point C is located at (0,0)

Point D is located at (7, 12)


The slope is the change in Y over the change in X:

Slope = 12-0 / 7-0 =  12/7


The equation of the line from C to D using mx +b:

m = slope, which we already calculated as 12/7

To solve for b, replace m with 12/7 to get

y=12/7x +b

replace x with 0 ( from point C )

y = 12/7(0) +b

Replace y with 0 (also from point C)

0 = 12/7(0)+b

Solve for b:

b = 0

The equation becomes y= 12/7x


The Domain is the X values, which range from A to E, -12 to 13

Which is written as (-12,13) or -12≤x≤13


The range is the Y values, which range from A to D, 0 , 12

Which is written as (0,12) or 0≤y≤12
