Mathematics

Airida [17]3 years ago
7 0

The total vote cast was 700.

The winner was Adam (received 320 votes)

Why?

To solve the problem, we need to make equations to express the number of votes received for each of the candidates.

Solving we have:

Let be "v" the total vote cast,

For Adam,

A=40+0.4*v

For Brigitte,

B=0.5(40+0.4v)-40

B=20+0.2v-40

B=0.2v-20

For Carl,

C=20+0.5*B

C=20+0.5*(0.2v-20)

C=10+0.1v

For Diane,

D=180votes

Now, the total vote cast will be:

v=A+B+C+D\\\\v=(40+0.4v)+(0.2v-20)+(10+0.1v)+180\\\\v=(40-20+10+180)+(0.4v+0.2v+0.1v)

v=210+0.7v\\\\v-0.7v=210\\\\v=\frac{210}{0.3}=700

Now, substituting "v" in each equation to calculate the number of votes for each candidate, we have:

Adam=40+0.4*700=320votes\\Brigitte=0.2*700-20=120votes\\Carl=10+0.1*700=80votes\\Diane=180votes

Hence, we have that the total vote cast was 700, and the winner was Adam (received 320 votes)

Have a nice day!

Find the x and y intercepts. Write your answer as x =<br> y =<br> 2x + 5y = 10
Ann [662]
The x-intercept is present where y = 0

2x + 5y - 10 = 0
2x - 10 = -5y
2x - 10 = -5(0)
2x = 10
x = 5

The y-intercept is present where x = 0

2x + 5y = 10
2x + 5y - 10 = 0
5y - 10 = -2(0)
5y = 10
y = 2

Perimiter
we have a half circle and 3 sides of a rectangle
half circle

circumfernce=2pir
half of that is 1/2 2pir or pir
so
diameter=8
radius is 1/2 of that or 4
so
that arc is 4pi

the 3 sides are 8+9+9 or 26

if we use pi=3.141592
4pi+26=38.566368
rounded we get
38.57
the closest one is C

answer is C

In April, the Messa family gets 800 text messages included in their plan. Together, Tommy and Mary use half of the messages. Jac
laiz [17]

Answer: See explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of text messages = 800

Amount used by Tommy and Mary = 1/2 × 800 = 400

Number of messages uses by Jack and Stefanie = 240

The expression to find the number of messages Cathy uses will be:

= 800 - (1/2 × 800) - 240

Since the expression is 800 - (1/2 × 800) - 240, the number of messages that Cathy will use will be:

= 800 - (1/2 × 800) - 240

= 800 - 400 - 240

= 160 messages
