Answer:

Original number of sixes = 6

Original number of nines = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told in the question that:

A certain number of sixes and nines is added to give a sum of 126

Let us represent originally

the number of sixes = a

the number of nines = b

Hence:

6 × a + 9 × b = 126

6a + 9b = 126.....Equation 1

If the number of sixes and nines is interchanged, the new sum is 114.

For this second part, because it is interchanged,

Let us represent

the number of sixes = b

the number of nines = a

6 × b + 9 × a = 114

6b + 9a = 114.......Equation 2

9a + 6b = 114 .......Equation 2

6a + 9b = 126.....Equation 1

9a + 6b = 114 .......Equation 2

We solve using Elimination method

Multiply Equation 1 by the coefficient of a in Equation 2

Multiply Equation 2 by the coefficient of a in Equation 1

6a + 9b = 126.....Equation 1 × 9

9a + 6b = 114 .......Equation 2 × 6

54a + 81b = 1134 ........ Equation 3

54a + 36b = 684.........Equation 4

Subtract Equation 4 from Equation 3

= 45b = 450

divide both sides by b

45b/45 = 450/45

b = 10

Therefore, since the original the number of nines = b,

Original number of nines = 10

Also, to find the original number of sixes = a

We substitute 10 for b in Equation 1

6a + 9b = 126.....Equation 1

6a + 9 × 10 = 126

6a + 90 = 126

6a = 126 - 90

6a = 36

a = 36/6

a = 6

Therefore, the original number of sixes is 6

Jamie and Hudson took a road trip to the beach. Their total distance traveled after getting on the highway can be found using th
lukranit [14]

The total distance is an illustration of a linear function.

<u>(1) Why the relationship is a function</u>

The relationship is a function because all input values of h, have exactly one corresponding output value of d

<u>(2) The function type</u>

The function is a discrete function, because the number of hours is an integer, and it cannot take decimal values (in this case)

<u>(3) The domain for a drive of 8 hours</u>

The domain is the set of time the girls drive.

So, the domain is: [0,8]

<u>(4) The range</u>

The function is given as:

d = 55h +10

When h = 0,

d = 55(0) +10 = 10

When h = 8,

d = 55(8) +10 = 450

So, the range is: [10,450]

<u>(5) The graph</u>

See attachment

<u>(6) The slope</u>

A linear function is represented as:

y = mx + c

Where:

m represents the slope.

So, by comparison:

Slope = 55

The slope in this case represents the distance travelled per hour

<u>(7) The y-intercept</u>

In (6) above, c represents the y-intercept.

So, by comparison:

c = 10

The y-intercept in this case represents the initial distance

Find the midpoint of the segment with the given endpoints. <br> ​4 and 11<br> ​
brilliants [131]

Hey there!!

How do we find the midpoint?

We take the average , the average is =

Sum of the observations / total number of observations

The end points are given as 4 and 11

Sum = 11 + 4

Number of observations = 2

= 15 / 2

= 7.5 is the midpoint
