Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If we call the number of worms in a can x, we can write:

4x + 3x + 2 + 2x = 65

9x + 2 = 65

9x = 63

x = 7 worms

A (0, 2) and B (6,6) are points on the straight line ABCD.

elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]

Answer:

(18, 14)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that C and D lie on the line AB and BC = CD = AB. Then we need to use the distance formula and equation of the line AB to find the other two coordinates.

The distance formula states that the distance between two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ , the distance is denoted by: $\sqrt{(x_2-x_1)^2+(y_2-y_1)^2}$ . Let's find the distance between A and B:

d = $\sqrt{(6-0)^2+(6-2)^2}=\sqrt{6^2+4^2} =\sqrt{36+16} =\sqrt{52} =2\sqrt{13}$

Now say the coordinates of D are (a, b). Then the distance between D and B will be twice of 2√13, which is 4√13:

4√13 = $\sqrt{(6-a)^2+(6-b)^2}$

Square both sides:

208 = (6 - a)² + (6 - b)²

Let's also find the equation of the line AB. The y-intercept we know is 2, so in y = mx + b, b = 2. The slope is (6 - 2) / (6 - 0) = 4/6 = 2/3. So the equation of the line is: y = (2/3)x + 2. Since (a, b) lines on this line, we can put in a for x and b for y: b = (2/3)a + 2. Substitute this expression in for b in the previous equation:

208 = (6 - a)² + (6 - b)²

208 = (6 - a)² + (6 - (2/3a + 2))² = (6 - a)² + (-2/3a + 4)²

208 = a² - 12a + 36 + 4/9a² - 16/3a + 16 = 13/9a² - 52/3a + 52

0 = 13/9a² - 52/3a - 156

13a² - 156a - 1404 = 0

a² - 12a - 108 = 0

(a + 6)(a - 18) = 0

a = -6 or a = 18

We know a can't be negative so a = 18. Plug this back in to find b:

b = 2/3a + 2 = (2/3) * 18 + 2 = 12 + 2 = 14

So point D has coordinates (18, 14).

Pineapples cost $2.50 each and mangos cost $1.50 each. Tim purchased 15 pieces of fruit for $29.50. How many pineapples and how

kotykmax [81]

We can create equations to solve this.

2.50p + 1.50m = 29.50
p + m = 15

Solve for a variable in the 2nd equation and use the substitution method to solve.

p + m = 15

Subtract p to both sides:

m = -p + 15

Plug in -p + 15 for m in the first equation.

2.50p + 1.50(-p + 15) = 29.50

Distribute:

2.50p - 1.50p + 22.50 = 29.50

Combine like terms:

p + 22.50 = 29.50

Subtract 22.50 to both sides:

p = 7

Now plug this into any of the two equations and solve for the other variable.

p + m = 15

7 + m = 15

Subtract 7 to both sides:

m = 8

So he purchased 7 pineapples and 8 mangos.

Show answer in lowest terms. 25/75+ 25/125=

Anit [1.1K]

Hi Jujub! To find the answer in lowest terms, first you have to find the lowest common denominator. To find this, find the lowest common multiple of 75 and 125, which is 375. Now, to make the common denominator, you have to make equivalent fractions. 375 ÷ 75 = 5, and 5 × 25 = 125. So the new fraction is 125/375. Now the same thing for 25/125. 375 ÷ 125 = 3, and 3 × 25 is 75. So the new fraction is 75/375. Now add the new fractions:
125/375 + 75/375 = 200/375

This answer can be simplified to 8/15.
