You got 9 right, because 5x -3y = 36
For you to lose points, having answered all of thee questions, to the point of which you were given 36 out of 60 possible points tells that you must have gotten over half right for points to have been taken away, and the only factors that satisfy the equation with those restrictions would determine that x must equal 9, making the amount you got right worth 45 points, but with y equal to 3, 9 points were taken away from that score, making it 36. This can also be displayed on a x versus y graph.

Can someone explain this for me??<br> 4 (c+2) &lt; 4c + 10
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The inequality would be true

Step-by-step explanation:

4(c+2) < 4c + 10

Distribute the 4 on the left

4c + 8 < 4c + 10

Subtract 4c from both sides

8 < 10

8 < 10 is true

Last summer, Marrero was at Newgrange, a stone mound in Ireland that has a diameter of 250 feet. He found a walkway 62 feet long
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

  • 108 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The line connecting the center with the end of the walkway is radius and is the hypotenuse of the right triangle.

Horizontal leg is the distance x.

<u>Vertical leg has the length:</u>

  • (250)/2 - 62 = 63 ft

<u>Using Pythagorean theorem to find the length of x:</u>

  • x² = (250/2)² - 63²
  • x² = 125² - 63²
  • x² = 11656
  • x = √11656
  • x = 107.96 ≈ 108
