Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p represent the number of pages that she read on each day after the first day.

Reggie read a 400-page book in 5 days. On the first day, he read 120 pages. The means that the remaining number of pages would be 400 - 120 = 280

The number of days remaining would be 5 - 1 = 4

Since she read the same number of pages on each day after the first day, then

4p = 280

p = 280/4 = 70 pages

yarga [219]

Answer:

d=9

Step-by-step explanation:

The gradient of straight line is given by

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}$

Plug in our knows

$4=\frac{17-9}{d-5} \text{ Solve for d} \\\\4(d-5)=8\\\\d-5=4\\d=9$

if f(x)=2(x)^2+5sqrt(x+2), complete the follwoing statement ( round your answer to the nearest hundreth) : f(0)=_____

Maslowich

Answer:

$f(0)=7.07$

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the function $f(x)=2(x)^2+5\sqrt{(x+2)}$

In this case we want to find the value of f0)

To find f(0) you must replace the x in the function with the number 0 and solve as shown below

$f(0)=2(0)^2+5\sqrt{(0+2)}$

$f(0)=0+5\sqrt{(0+2)}$

$f(0)=5\sqrt{(2)}$

Therefore

$f(0)=7.07$

Sam has $440 in $20, $10, and $5 dollar bills. The number of twenties, tens and fives are consecutive integers in this order. Ho

Ludmilka [50]

Answer: There are 12 bills for $20, 13 bills for $10 and 14 bills for $5.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of twenties be x

Let the number of tens be x+1

Let the number of fives be x+2

Amount from twenties will be given as

$20\times x=20x$

Amount from tens will be given as

$10\times (x+1)=10x+10$

Amount from fives will be given as

$5\times (x+2)=5x+10$

According to question,

$20x+10x+10+5x+10=440\\\\35x+20=440\\\\35x=440-20\\\\35x=420\\\\x=\frac{420}{35}\\\\x=12$

So, there are 12 bills for $20, 13 bills for $10 and 14 bills for $5.
