Answer: Infinite solutions

Step-by-step explanation: 3x -7 = 3(x-3)+2

3x + -7 = (3)(x) + (3)(-3) + 2

3x + -7 = 3x + -9 + 2

3x - 7 = (3x) + (-7)

3x -7 - 3x = 3x - 7 - 3x

-7 + 7 = -7 + 7

0 = 0

Complete the square to rewrite the following equation. Identify the center and radius of the circle. You must show all work and

Sliva [168]

Answer:

( x+1)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 25

The center is (-1, -2) and the radius is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

x^2 + 2x + y^2 + 4y = 20

Complete the square

2/2 =1 1^2 =1 so add 1 for x 4/2 =2 2^2 = 4 so add 4 for y

x^2 +2x +1 +y^2 +4y+4 = 20 +1 +4

( x+1)^2 + (y+2)^2 = 25

(x+1) ^2 + (y+2)^2 = 5^2

(x - -1) ^2 + (y - -2)^2 = 5^2

This is in (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2 form where (h,k) is the center and r is the radius

The center is (-1, -2) and the radius is 5

On the last day of school, Mrs. Awesome gave jelly beans to her class. She gave each boy as many jelly beans as there were boys

professor190 [17]

Answer:

28 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of girls in the class. There were two more boys than girls in her class, then the number of boys is x + 2.

Mrs. Awesome gave each boy as many jelly beans as there were boys in the class, so each of x + 2 boys got x + 2 jelly beans, so

Number of boys = x + 2

Number of jelly beans each boy got = x + 2

Total number of jelly beans all boys got = (x + 2)(x + 2)

Mrs. Awesome gave each girl as many jelly beans as there were girls in the class, so each of x girls got x jelly beans, so

Number of girls = x

Number of jelly beans each girl got = x

Total number of jelly beans all girls got = (x)(x)

Hence,

Total number of jelly beans class got = (x + 2)(x + 2) + (x)(x)

Mrs. Awesome brought 400 jelly beans, and when she finished, she had six jelly beans left, so she gave 400 - 6 = 394 jelly beans to the calss.

So,

$(x+2)(x+2)+(x)(x)=394\\ \\x^2+2x+2x+4+x^2=394\\ \\2x^2+4x+4-394=0\\ \\2x^2+4x-390=0\\ \\x^2+2x-195=0\\ \\D=2^2-4\cdot (-195)=4+780=784\\ \\\sqrt{D}=28\\ \\x_{1,2}=\dfrac{-2\pm 28}{2\cdot 1}=-15,\ 13$

Number of girls cannot be negative, so x = 13, x + 2 = 15 and total number of students is 13 + 15 = 28

A 20 foot ladder leaning against a wall is used to reach a window that is 17 feet above the ground. How far from the wall is the

GarryVolchara [31]

The bottom of the ladder is 10.5 feet away from the wall

Step-by-step explanation:

The given scenario forms a right triangle.

Where

The length of ladder will be the hypotenuse

The wall on which the window is situated will ebt he perpendicular and

The distance between the foot of ladder and the wall will be the base

So,

Hypotenuse = H = 20 foot

Perpendicular = P = 17 feet

Base = B = ?

Using the Pythagoras theorem

$H^2=P^2+B^2\\(20)^2=(17)^2+B^2\\400=289+B^2\\400-289=B^2\\B^2=111\\Taking\ square\ root\ on\ both\ sides\\\sqrt{B^2}=\sqrt{111}\\B=10.53\\Rounding\ off\ to\ the\ nearest\ tenth\\B=10.5$

The bottom of the ladder is 10.5 feet away from the wall

Mr. Smith built a rectangular-shaped sandbox for his children, measuring 4 feet by 4 feet by 6 inches. Sand has a density of app

ehidna [41]

Answer:

To completely fill the sandbox will cost $56

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we calculate volume of the rectangular-shaped sandbox:

$V=long*with*height\\V=4feet*4feet*0.5feet\\V=8cubicfoot$

We know that density of sand is 100 pounds per cubic foot. Then, to fill the sand box that has a volume of 8 cubic foot, we calculate by rule 3:

1cubic foot..............100 pounds

8 cubic foot.............x pounds

$x=\frac{8*100}{1}$

$x=800 pounds$

We will need 800 pounds of sand to fill the sandbox, then we can calculate by rule 3 the number of bags needed and next the total cost of them:

50 pounds.......1bag

800 pounds.....x bags

$x=\frac{800*1}{50} \\x=16$

To calculate the cost:

1 bag ..................$3.50

16 bags.................$x

$x=16*3.50\\x=$56$

To completely fill the sandbox will cost $56

Find the total in the account with the following facts monthly contributions =$180 employer matching 25% interest rate 4.99% yea

algol13

Answer:

The amount that will be in the account after 38 years is $ 36811,05

Step-by-step explanation:

For resolved this exercise used the next equation

R(1-(1 + i)--) Ap = ... (1)

Ap = Amount in account

R = Paid monthly

i = Monthly interest rate

t = Months for paid

Dates

i=- 2.05% 12 = 0,1708% = 0.0017

The interest is divided for 12 because is annual and the formula is mensual

t = 15yearsx12 = 180 months

R = 220$

R(1-(1 + i)-) Ap =

220(1-(1 + 0.0017)-180) Ap = 0.0017

162,04 Ap=0.0017

Ap = 95321,855

The amount that will be in the account after 15 years is $ 95,321.85

R(1-(1 + i)--) Ap = ... (1)

Ap = Amount in account

R = Paid monthly

i = Monthly interest rate

t = Months for paid

i=- 4,99% -= 0,415% = 0.0041

The interest is divided for 12 because is annual and the formula is mensual

t = 38yearsx12 = 456 months

R = 180$

R(1-(1 + i)-) Ap =

Ap = 180(1-(1 + 0.0041) -456 0.0041

Ap = 36811,055

The amount that will be in the account after 38 years is $ 36811,05
