I need help with this question to turn it into an equation. The question is

1 answer:

Sure, here is how I broke it down. The bird is flying a constant X miles per hour with a wind speed of Y miles per hour. So, there are two equations that you use to solve. Here they are:

X+Y=12
X-Y=4

Now, you have to use substitution or elimination to solve (I will use elimination). To use elimination, you simply add both equations together to get:

2X=16
Solve for X by dividing by 2.

X=8. We already established that X is the speed of the bird. Plug X back into either of the equations to find the windspeed.

(8)+Y=12

Subtract 8 from both sides.

Y=4. We already established that Y is the windspeed.

So, the speed of the bird (X) is 8mph and the speed of the wind (Y) is 4mph.

Hope this helped!!

On June 1st, Lucy & Bros received an order for 500 cupcakes. Lucy delivered the cupcakes to the client on June 25th. A $50 d

Verizon [17]

Answer:

The revenue will be recognized on the June 25th

Step-by-step explanation:

Data provided in the question:

Date on which the order for 500 cupcakes was received is <u>June 1st</u>

Date on which the order for 500 cupcakes was delivered is <u>June 25th</u>

Date on which the deposit of $50 was received is June 5th

Date on which the remaining $450 was received is June 30th

Now,

Revenue is always recognized as and when revenue generated and order completes.

Therefore,

In the given question, the order was delivered on June 25th

Hence,

The revenue will be recognized on the June 25th

Find the sum of the positive integers less than 200 which are not multiples of 4 and 7

taurus [48]

Answer:

$12942$ is the sum of positive integers between $1$ (inclusive) and $199$ (inclusive) that are not multiples of $4$ and not multiples $7$ .

Step-by-step explanation:

For an arithmetic series with:

$a_1$ as the first term,
$a_n$ as the last term, and
$d$ as the common difference,

there would be $\displaystyle \left(\frac{a_n - a_1}{d} + 1\right)$ terms, where as the sum would be $\displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\, \displaystyle \underbrace{\left(\frac{a_n - a_1}{d} + 1\right)}_\text{number of terms}\, (a_1 + a_n)$ .

Positive integers between $1$ (inclusive) and $199$ (inclusive) include:

$1,\, 2,\, \dots,\, 199$ .

The common difference of this arithmetic series is $1$ . There would be $(199 - 1) + 1 = 199$ terms. The sum of these integers would thus be:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\times ((199 - 1) + 1) \times (1 + 199) = 19900 \end{aligned}$ .

Similarly, positive integers between $1$ (inclusive) and $199$ (inclusive) that are multiples of $4$ include:

$4,\, 8,\, \dots,\, 196$ .

The common difference of this arithmetic series is $4$ . There would be $(196 - 4) / 4 + 1 = 49$ terms. The sum of these integers would thus be:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\times 49 \times (4 + 196) = 4900 \end{aligned}$

Positive integers between $1$ (inclusive) and $199$ (inclusive) that are multiples of $7$ include:

$7,\, 14,\, \dots,\, 196$ .

The common difference of this arithmetic series is $7$ . There would be $(196 - 7) / 7 + 1 = 28$ terms. The sum of these integers would thus be:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\times 28 \times (7 + 196) = 2842 \end{aligned}$

Positive integers between $1$ (inclusive) and $199$ (inclusive) that are multiples of $28$ (integers that are both multiples of $4$ and multiples of $7$ ) include:

$28,\, 56,\, \dots,\, 196$ .

The common difference of this arithmetic series is $28$ . There would be $(196 - 28) / 28 + 1 = 7$ terms. The sum of these integers would thus be:

$\begin{aligned}\frac{1}{2}\times 7 \times (28 + 196) = 784 \end{aligned}$ .

The requested sum will be equal to:

the sum of all integers from $1$ to $199$ ,
minus the sum of all integer multiples of $4$ between $1\!$ and $199\!$ , and the sum integer multiples of $7$ between $1$ and $199$ ,
plus the sum of all integer multiples of $28$ between $1$ and $199$ - these numbers were subtracted twice in the previous step and should be added back to the sum once.

That is:

$19900 - 4900 - 2842 + 784 = 12942$ .

Reflect the triangle in the mirror line.

vredina [299]

Answer:

I can't include a picture but it will be the same shape except it will be flipped over and will look a bit like differently angled packman with the back of the mouth apart the same distance, with the mouth "pointier" part of it one line away from the red line from the other side.... Oof sorry if this didn't help, I tried my best...

Step-by-step explanation:

From the "point" of the blue triangle, go diagonally SE 2 spaces. From there, draw a straight line to the right for 3 spaces. From there, draw upwards two spaces, and then connect those two lines into a triangle.
