A) x + y = 110
x - y = 40
B) Melvin swims for 35 minutes every day.
C) It is not possible
Step-by-step explanation:
Step 1:
Let x denote the duration for which Melvin plays tennis and y denote the duration for which he swims
Step 2 :
Part A :
Given that the total duration for which he plays and tennis is 110 minutes
so we have x + y = 110
Also given that he plays tennis for 40 minutes more than he swims
So, x = y+ 40 =>x-y = 40
So the linear pair of equations are
x + y = 110
x-y = 40
Step 3 :
Part B
Solving the above 2 equations we have
y+40+y = 110 = > 2y+ 40 = 110 = > y = 2y = 70 = >35
x = y+40 = 35+ 40 = 75
So Melvin plays tennis for 75 minutes and swims for 35 minutes every day.
Step 4 :
Part C
Given he plays and swims for 110 mins exactly, i.e x + y = 110
If Melvin plays tennis for 70 minutes , then x = 70, then the time for which he can swim is 110 - 70 = 40 mins.
He gets only 40 mins for swimming which is not 40 mins more than he plays tennis .
So this case is not possible.
Answer:
1. -8x² - 16x - 6 a = -8, b = -16, c = -6
1. 4x² - 1 a = 4, b = 0, c = -1
Step-by-step explanation:
use the 'foil' method:
(4x + 2)(-2x - 3)
F: -8x² O: -12x I: -4x L: -6
-8x² - 16x - 6
(2x + 1)(2x - 1)
F: 4x² O: -2x I: 2x L: -1
4x² - 1
You would have none left. If you started with one cup of cornmeal and then you used that one cup of cornmeal to make the muffins, you would have none left
The answer that I got was 27, hope it helps
Answer:
C) 12/20
Step-by-step explanation:
Between 1 and 20, 10 numbers are even, 4 numbers are perfect squares (1, 4, 9, and 16), and 2 numbers are both even and perfect squares (4 and 16).
So the probability is:
(10 + 4 − 2) / 20 = 12/20.
