Answer:

Highest received is by department Y

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the research funds of a certain company were divided among three departments, X, Y, and Z.

The research funds received by departments X and Y were in the ratio 3 to 5, respectively.

The research funds received by departments X and Z were in the ratio 2 to 1, respectively

X:Y = 3:5

X:Z = 2:1

X is common in both the equations so let us take lcd for 3 and 2 = 6

Multiply I equation by 2 and II equation by 3

X:Y = 6:10

X: Z = 6:3

Since X has the same numerical value we can combine these two tog et

X:Y: Z =6:10:3

Highest received is by department Y

In a basketball game, a regular basket was worth 2 points and a long-distance basket was worth 3 points. If there were 45 basket
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

B. r + l = 45; 2r + 3l = 96

39 regular; 6 long-distance

Step-by-step explanation:

There were 45 baskets, so

(1) r + l = 45

There were 96 points in the game, so

(2) 2r + 3l = 96

Solve equation (1) for l

                    l = 45 – r     Substitute the value for l in Equation (2)

2r + 3(45 – r) = 96      Remove parentheses

 2r + 135 - 3r = 96      Combine like terms

         -r + 135 = 96      Subtract 135 from each side

                  -r = -39      Multiply each side by -1

                  r = 39      Substitute the value of r in Equation (1)

           39 + l = 45        Subtract 39 from each side

                   l = 6

===============

Check:

(1) 39 + 6 = 45

         45 = 45

(2) 2×39 + 3×6 = 96

           78 + 18 = 96

                   96 = 96

If AB = 8, and OX = 3 and is the perpendicular bisector of AB, which is the length of the diameter of this circle?
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

  C.  5

Step-by-step explanation:

OXA is a 3-4-5 right triangle, so the circle radius is OA = 5.

_____

By the Pythagorean theorem,

  AO² = OX² +AX² = 3² +4² = 9 +16 = 25

  AO = √25 = 5 . . . . circle radius

_____

<em>Comment on Pythagorean triples</em>

The triple of integers (3, 4, 5) is the smallest triple of integers that satisfies the relation of the Pythagorean theorem. The next smallest set is (5, 12, 13). These, and a few other similar triples such as (7, 24, 25) and (8, 15, 17) are often used in algebra and geometry problems because they make the numbers work out nicely. It is worthwhile to learn to recognize these.
