Answer:

x=34

y=17

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Paula's score be= x

Let Maria's score be=y

<u>Given</u><u>:</u>

x=2y

x+y=51

<u>Substitution</u><u>:</u>

2y+y=51

<u>Formula</u><u>:</u>

2y+y=51

3y=51

y=17

x=2y

x=2(17)

x=34

<u>Proof</u><u>:</u>

x+y=51

34+17=51

51=51

Hope this helps ;) ❤❤❤

The double number line shows that Toni can type 180 words in 2 minutes.
NeTakaya

Answer:

270 words per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given 180 words in 2 minutes, this means Toni can type 180/2 = 90 words per minute (90wpm).

Thus, in the same ratio/rate, Toni would be able to type:

90 * 3 = 270 words per minute.

Correct answer 270 wpm

Trina's science club is building bluebird houses to put in the local park. For the first 1/6 dozen bird houses, Trina finds that
meriva

<u>Answer:</u>

4.5 foot is needed for a unit dozen bird house

<u>Explanation:</u>

Given Tina saw ¾ foot of wooden trim is being used for  first 1/6 dozen bird houses

Therefore, we can write as,4

1/6 dozen = ¾ foot

For 1 dozen bird houses, we have to use the unitary method

1/6 dozen = ¾ foot  

Therefore, 1 dozen or unit dozen = \frac{\frac{3}{4}}{\frac{1}{6}}

1 dozen = ¾ * 6 = \frac{9}{2} foot = 4.5 foot  

Therefore, 4.5 foot is needed for a unit dozen bird house

A soccer ball is kicked toward the goal. The height of the ball is modeled by the function h(t) = −16t2 + 48t where t equals the
Stolb23 [73]

Answer:

  • t = 1.5; it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 3 seconds to fall back to the ground.

Explanation:

<u>1) Explanation of the model:</u>

  • Given: h(t) = -16t² + 48t

  • This is a quadratic function, so the height is modeled by a patabola.

  • This means that it has a vertex which is the minimum or maximu, height. Since the coefficient of the leading (quadratic) term is negative, the parabola opens downward and the vertex is the maximum height of the soccer ball.

<u>2) Axis of symmetry:</u>

  • The axis of symmetry of a parabola is the vertical line that passes through the vertex.

  • In the general form of the parabola, ax² + bx + c, the axis of symmetry is given by x = -b/(2a)

  • In our model a = - 16, and b = 48, so you get: t = - ( 48) / ( 2 × (-16) ) = 1.5

<u>Conclusion</u>: since t = 1.5 is the axys of symmetry, it means that at t = 1.5 the ball reachs its maximum height and that it will take the same additional time to fall back to the ground, whic is a tolal of  1. 5 s + 1.5 s = 3.0 s.

Answer: t = 1.5; it takes 1.5 seconds to reach the maximum height and 3 seconds to fall back to the ground.

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

x=510

Step-by-step explanation:

You can first combine like terms to get x/17=30

The inverse operation of division is multiplication so you can multiply by 17 on both sides to get your final answer: x=510
