Answer: 50 km
Step-by-step explanation: So the map has a scale of 1 cm: 20 km. Next, you look at how far they are apart and see if the scale and the distance on the map are the same measurement. In this case, they are both centimeters so they stay the same. Then, all you do is multiple the real size, 20 km, by
2.5
/1
. Then, 20 x 2.5=50. So the answer is 50 km
Answer:
49/8 is the value of k
Step-by-step explanation:
We have the system
x = -2y^2 - 3y + 5
x=k
We want to find k such that the system intersects once.
If we substitute the second into the first giving us k=-2y^2-3y+5 we should see we have a quadratic equation in terms of variable y.
This equation has one solution when it's discriminant is 0.
Let's first rewrite the equation in standard form.
Subtracting k on both sides gives
0=-2y^2-3y+5-k
The discriminant can be found by evaluating
b^2-4ac.
Upon comparing 0=-2y^2-3y+5-k to 0=ax^2+bx+c, we see that
a=-2, b=-3, and c=5-k.
So we want to solve the following equation for k:
(-3)^2-4(-2)(5-k)=0
9+8(5-k)=0
Distribute:
9+40-8k=0
49-8k=0
Add 8k on both sides:
49=8k
Divide both sides by 8"
49/8=k
Yes, Bobby will have enough money if he saves for 9 weeks. You can find this through either substituting w for 9 in the equation, or solving the equation itself.
Substituting:

Substitute w for 9.

Simplify.

Solve.
255 is greater than 250, so yes, he will have enough money saved.
Solving the equation:

Original Equation

Subtract 30 from both sides.

Divide both sides by 25.
The number of weeks he needs is 8.8. When rounding it up, you get 9.
