Algebra: y= x+4 y= -x+2

To solve what you need to do is
if y=x+4
and y=-x+2 so both equations have to equal the same thin so
x+4=-x+2
combine like terms and you get x=-x-2
then next equals 2x=-2
divide by 2 and last you get x=-1

To solve for the variables y and x we substitute the second equation into the first meaning that y = -x +2 you substitute y for (-x+2)
so

(-x +2) = x +4
add x to both sides
2 = 2x + 4
subtract 4 from both sides
-2 = 2x
divide by 2
-1 = x

now plug x back into the original equation

y = (-1) + 4
y = 3

and

y = -(-1) + 2
y = 1 +2
y = 3

there you have it x = -1 and y = 3

Hope this helps ;)

A person gets on a Ferris wheel at the starting point. The starting point is 15 feet off the ground. The Ferris wheel has a radi

lisov135 [29]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

$\boxed{\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})+65}$

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

<em>The height of the rider from the ground after the Ferris wheel</em> equals <em>the starting point is 15 feet off the ground </em><em>plus </em><em>the radius of the Ferris wheel </em><em>plus </em><em>the opposite side of the triangle ΔABC </em>(See figure below).<em> </em>Hence our goal is to find this side. We have the angle $11\pi /2=165^{\circ}$ , therefore the angle ∠BAC = 165° - 90° = 75°. So this side can be found using trigonometry:

$\overline{BC}=\overline{AB}sin(75^{\circ})=50sin(75^{\circ})=\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})$

Finally, the height is:

$H=\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})+15+50 \\ \\ \boxed{H=\frac{25}{2}(\sqrt{6}+\sqrt{2})+65}$

If 1 inch is 500 miles, then 4 inches is how many miles?

tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

2,000 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given:

$1 inch=500 miles$

This can be rewritten as:

$\frac{500 miles}{1inch}$

This is representative of a unit rate, as we have a $1$ in the denominator. To calculate the number of miles in $4$ inches, simply multiply the unit rate by $4$ :

$\frac{500 miles}{1inch}*4=$

$\frac{2000 miles}{4 inches}$

This can rewritten as:

$4inches=2000miles$

Therefore, there are 2,000 miles in 4 inches.

We can check our solution by simplifying the fraction $\frac{2000 miles}{4 inches}$ by dividing both $2000$ and $4$ by $4$ to see if we achieve the unit rate:

$\frac{500 miles}{1 inch}$

Since this is in fact the unit rate, our solution is correct!

The data below shows the average number of text messages a group of students send per day. what is a histogram that represents t

Rainbow [258]

To draw a histogram, you need two axes. The horizontal axis is the day and the vertical axis is the number of text messages. For the first day, there are 20 text messages. This is represented by a bar starting from the horizontal axis labeled Day 1 going up to the point where the vertical axis indicates 20 text messages. This is done for the rest of the data. Afterwards, a line is drawn from the vertex of the axes connected to the top of the first bar. Then from the top of the first bar, a line connects it to the top of the next bar. This is done for all the bars before producing a histogram.
