Answer:

  • 7 people
  • 53 coins

Step-by-step explanation:

The problem statement tells us ...

  8x = y +3

  7x = y -4

Subtracting the second equation from the first gives ...

  x = 7

Then ...

  y = 7x +4 = 7·7 +4 = 53

There are 7 people, and 53 coins are required for purchase.

Sarah and Bryan went shopping and spent a total of $47.50 Bry an spent $15.50 less than what Sarah spent how much did bryan spen
Bogdan [553]
Since Bryan spent $15.50 less than Sarah, you would start by dividing the total amount they spent together in half.

$47.50 ÷ 2 = $23.75

Then you would take Bryan's 1/2 of the total and subtract $15.50.

$23.75 - $15.50 = $8.25

So, it looks like Bryan spent $8.25.

Check step:

If you add it all back together:

Sarah + Sarah Bryan = Total
$23.75 + $15.50 + $8.25 = $47.50

The table below represents the displacement of a turtle from its nest as a function of time: Time (hours) x Displacement from ne
andriy [413]
Part A: The y-intercept is 5. If you look to the data, when x=0, y=5. This means that the turtle started off 5 miles away from its nest. (at 0 hours, the distance away from his nest was 5 miles)

Part B:Answer=22. Remember, if you take any two distinct points on a line, the slope of the line will be equal to the average rate of change. In short,  we're just looking for the slope between the ordered pairs (1,27) and (4,93). The formula for slope is:

slope= \frac{y_{2}- y_{1} }{ x_{2} - x_{1} } = \frac{93-27}{4-1}= \frac{66}{3}=22

The average rate of change between x=1 and x=4 is 22. The average rate of changed describes the rate at which miles is changing with respect the the change in hour.

Part C: Answer=10hours. Since by now we know both the slope and the y-intercept, lets write the equation in slope intercept form and then solve for 225 miles.

y=mx+b
y=22x+5
225=22x+5
subtract 5 from both sides
220=22x
divide both sides by 22
10=x
It would take 10 hours for the turtle to travel 225miles from it's nest.

Θ lies in Quadrant II . sinθ=47sinθ=47 What is the exact value of cosθ in simplified form?
Pepsi [2]
I am assuming you mean 4/7 as the sine or cosine cannot be higher than 1.

Lets find <span>θ,
</span>
θ = [sin-1](4/7) = 34.85 °

But lets take into account that this value is the equivalent in Quadrant I.

If Θ lies in Quadrant II , then θ = 180 ° - 34.85 ° = 145.15 °

So cosθ = cos (145.15) = -0.821
