Allan and Dave bowl together and their combined total score for one game was 375 points. Allan’s score was 60 less than twice Da

ve’s. What were their scores?
Which is a system of equations to model the problem if x represents Dave’s score and y represents Allan’s score?

A. x + y = 60
y = 2x – 375

B. x + y = 375
y = 2x – 60

C. x + y = 375
y = 2x + 60

D. x – y = 375
y = 2x – 60

Answer:

B. x + y = 375

y = 2x – 60

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :Allan and Dave bowl together and their combined total score for one game was 375 points. Allan’s score was 60 less than twice Dave’s.

To Find:

What were their scores?

Which is a system of equations to model the problem if x represents Dave’s score and y represents Allan’s score?

Solution :

x repesents Dave’s score

y represents Allan’s score

Since we are given that their combined total score for one game was 375 points

⇒x+y=375 ---1

Now we are given that Allan’s score was 60 less than twice Dave’s

⇒y =2x-60---2

Thus x+y=375 and y =2x-60 is a required system of equations.

So, option b is correct.

Now to calculate their scores.

Put value of y from equation 2 in 1

⇒x+(2x-60)=375

⇒3x=375+60

⇒3x=435

⇒x =\frac{435}{3}

⇒x=145

Now put this value of x in equation 1 to get value of y

⇒145+y=375

⇒y=375-145

⇒y=230

Thus Dave's score is 145 and Allan's score is 230

A system of equations is:
B ) 
x + y = 375
x = 2 y - 60
We will solve this system:
2 y - 60 + y = 375
3 y = 435
y = 435 : 3
y = 145
x = 375 - 145
x = 230
Allan`s score was 230 and Dave`s score was 145.

Explain how to use the missing pieces strategy to compare two fractions. Include a diagram with your explanation.
kozerog [31]
The missing pieces strategy is another method to compare two fractions. To tell which number is larger, you need to see which one is missing less. For example, you have 3/4 versus 4/5. Each of these fractions needs 1 to complete the whole. You need to subtract the numerator with one to compare them. For 3/4 we have 1/4 and for 4/5 we have 1/5. You know that if you complete 4/5 you will get 4. You know that 5 is greater than four. Therefore, 4/5 is larger than 3/4.

3 An open cone has a vertical angle measuring 40°
belka [17]

Answer:

13.41 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius, height, and HALF of vertical angle makes a triangle.

Where

Radius will be the base of the triangle

Height will be the "height" of the triangle

Top angle will be HALF of vertical angle (40/2 = 20)

From the 20 degree angle, the side "opposite" would be the radius, which is 30. The side "adjacent" would be the height, let it be h.

<em>Which trig ratio relates opposite and adjacent? Yes, that is TAN. Thus we can write:</em>

Tan(20) = opposite/adjacent

Tan(20) = 30/h

h = 30/Tan(20)

h = 13.41

So

The height of the cone would be around 13.41 cm

Write the first three terms in the following sequences. Identify them as arithmetic or geometric
vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

A(1)=9

A(2)=4

A(3)=-1

Arithmetic sequence

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

A(n+1)=A(n)-5 \;for\;n\geq 1 A(1)=9

We have to find first three terms and identify the sequence is geometric or arithmetic.

Substitute n=1

Then, we get

A(2)=A(1)-5=9-5=4

For n=2

A(3)=A(2)-5=4-5=-1

For n=3

A(4)=-1-5=-6

d_1=A_2-A_1=4-9=-5

d_2=A_3-A_2=-1-4=-5

d_3=A_4-A_3=-6+1=-5

d_1=d_2=d_3=-5

When the difference of consecutive terms are constant then the sequence is arithmetic sequence.

Therefore, given sequence is arithmetic sequence.
