Harriet works at the Mint, where new coins are made. Old and fake coins are also destroyed there. Harriet has 10 bags of $1 coin

s. All 10 bags contain the same number of coins. Harriet knows that nine bags contain only good coins and that one bag contains only fake coins. The fake coins are all about 0.5 gram short. Harriet has forgotten which bag contains the fake coins.
Harriet has a set of scales for weighing like the ones in the illustration. What is the lowest number of times she can weigh bags on the scales in order to find the bag of fake coins?

Answer:

3 times

Step-by-step explanation:

She would have to weigh the fake coins and another bag of real coins to spot a difference, and then she would need to check another bag to see which was correct. Maybe thats right.

2. If f(x) = x - 7 and g(x) = 2x + 5, then what is f(x) * g(x)?
AysviL [449]

Answer:

2x² - 9x - 35

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) × g(x) = (x - 7)(2x + 5)

Each term in the second factor is multiplied by each term in the first factor, that is

x(2x + 5) - 7(2x + 5) ← distribute both parenthesis

= 2x² + 5x - 14x - 35 ← collect like terms

= 2x² - 9x - 35

The base area of a square-based prism is 25 ft squared. One of the lateral faces of the prism is 30 ft squared. What is the surf
deff fn [24]

Answer:

170 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area of a square prism is 2 times the base area + 4 times the area of a lateral face.

S=2(25)+4(30)

S=50+120

S=170

Identify any solutions to the system given below. 2x + y = 5 3y = 15 – 6x (6, –7) (2, 1) (–2, –9) (–4, 13)
sashaice [31]

Answer:

The answer (2, 1), (-4,13), (6,-7)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider 2x+y=5 as equation 1, and 3y=15-6x as equation 2

1. Substituting values x and y with x=2 and y=1 as given by the coordinates (2,1)

Equation 1

2(2)+1=5 therefor it holds

Equation 2

3(1)=15-(6×2) also holds

2. Substituting values x and y with x=6 and y=-7 as given by the coordinates (6,-7)

Equation 1

2(6)+(-7)=5

5=5 holds

Equation 2

3(-7)=15-(6×6)

-21=-21 also holds

3. Substituting values x and y with x=-4 and y=13 as given by the coordinates (-4,13)

Equation 1

2(-4)+13=13-8=5 holds

Equation 2

3(13)=15-(6×-4)=39  also holds

4. Substituting values x and y with x=-2 and y=-9 as given by the coordinates (-2,-9)

Equation 1

2(-2)+(-9)=-4-9=-13≠5 does not hold

Equation 2

3(-9)≠15-(6×-2)

-27≠27 does not hold

The coordinates (2,1), (-4,13) and (6,-7) can be used as solutions to the system given
