Answer:

The carpenter used 2 7/4 feet of plank for the shelf

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of plank =10 1/2 foot

He used

For Deck board=4 1/4 feet

Step=3 2/3 feet

Shelf=x feet

Total plank=deck board + step + shelf

10 1/2 = 4 1/4 + 3 2/3 + x

Change the fractions

21/2 = 17/4 + 11/3 + x

Add 17/4 + 11/3

21/2 =51+44/12 + x

21/2= 95/12 + x

Collect like terms

21/2 - 95/12 =x

126-95/12 = x

31/12=x

2 7/12 =x

Therefore, the carpenter used 2 7/4 feet of plank for the shelf

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Total length of plank =10 1/2 foot

He used

For Deck board=4 1/4

Step=3 2/3

Shelf=x

Total plank=deck board + step + shelf

10 1/2 = 4 1/4 + 3 2/3 + x

John's grades in Algebra are: 65, 83, and 93. What grade does John need on the final exam to get an 85
hoa [83]

Answer:

99 marks

Step-by-step explanation:

Let 'x' be the mark in final exam

Sum of all the data's/ Number of data's = Mean

\frac{65+83+93+x}{4}=85\\\\\\\frac{241+x}{4} = 85

241 + x  = 85*4

241 + x = 340

       x = 340 - 241

x = 99

Drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Not all tiles will be used.

Answer:

 A-2, B-DNE*, C-3, D-DNE, E-4, F-1

---------------------

The first attachment shows the solutions to A and C.

The second attachment shows the solutions to E and F.

There are no real number solutions to systems B and D.

_____

In general, you can solve the linear equation for y, then substitute that into the quadratic. You can subtract the x-term on the left and complete the square to find the solutions.

A.

 (3-x) +12 = x^2 +x

 15 = x^2 + 2x

 16 = x^2 +2x +1 = (x +1)^2 . . . . add the square of half the x-coefficient to complete the square; next take the square root

 ±4 -1 = x = {-5, 3) . . . . . identifies the second solution set for system A

__

B.

 (x -1) -15 = x^2 +4x

 -16 = x^2 +3x

 -13.75 = x^2 +3x +2.25 = (x +1.5)^2

roots are complex: -1.5 ±i√13.75

__

C.

 (1-2x) +5 = x^2 -3x

 6 = x^2 -x

 6.25 = x^2 -x + .25 = (x -.5)^2

 ±2.5 +.5 = x = {-2, 3} . . . . . identifies the third solution set for system C

__

remaining problems are done in a similar way.

_____

* DNE = does not exist. There is no matching solution set for the complex numbers that are the solutions to this.
