a. The expression y=5x represent the number of small marbles she has.

b. The expression z=3x+2 represents the number of large marbles she has.

c. Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and 188 large marbles.

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Let x represent the number of medium marbles Amy has. Write an algebraic expression to represent the number of small marbles she has.

Medium marbles = x

Let,

Small marbles = y

According to given statement;

She has five times as many small marbles as medium marbles.

y = 5x Eqn 1

The expression y=5x represent the number of small marbles she has.

b. Write an algebraic expression to represent the number of large marbles she has.

Let,

Large marbles = z

The number of large marbles is two more than three times the number of medium marbles.

z = 3x+2 Eqn 2

The expression z=3x+2 represents the number of large marbles she has.

c. If Amy has a total of 560 marbles, how many of each size does she have?

x+y+z= 560 Eqn 3

Putting value of y and z from Eqn 1 and 2 in Eqn 3

$x+(5x)+(3x+2)=560\\x+5x+3x+2=560\\9x=560-2\\9x=558$

Dividing both sides by 9

$\frac{9x}{9}=\frac{558}{9}\\x=62$

Putting x=62 in Eqn 1

$y=5(62)\\y=310$

Putting x=62 in Eqn 2

$z=3(62)+2\\z=186+2\\z=188$

Amy has 310 small marbles, 62 medium marbles and 188 large marbles.

G(b) = 5b- 9 h(b) = (b - 1)^2 Evaluate. (hog)(-6) =

laiz [17]

Given:

The two functions are:

$g(b)=5b-9$

$h(b)=(b-1)^2$

To find:

The value of $(h\circ g)(-6)$ .

Solution:

We have,

$g(b)=5b-9$

$h(b)=(b-1)^2$

We know that,

$(h\circ g)(b)=h(g(b))$

$(h\circ g)(b)=h(5b-9)$

$(h\circ g)(b)=[(5b-9)-1]^2$

$(h\circ g)(b)=[5b-10]^2$

Putting $b=-6$ , we get

$(h\circ g)(-6)=[5(-6)-10]^2$

$(h\circ g)(-6)=[-39-10]^2$

$(h\circ g)(-6)=[-49]^2$

$(h\circ g)(-6)=2401$

Therefore, the value of $(h\circ g)(-6)$ is 2401.

Find the missing side length.

MaRussiya [10]

x = 6

Explanation:

use the pythagorean theorem which is a^2 + b^2 = c^2. 8 goes in either the a or b position and 10 is the longest side so it will go in the c position.

Below is a drawing of a wall that is to be covered with either wallpaper or paint. The wall is 8 ft. high and

Snowcat [4.5K]

84 sq. ft of the wall has to be covered with paint or wallpaper.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Find the area of wallpaper to be covered by calculating the area of the wall and subtracting the areas of the window, mirror and fireplace from it. All are rectangular in shape with are given by A = length × width

Area of the wall = 8 × 16 = 128 ft²

Area of the window = 18/12 × 14 = 1.5 × 14 = 21 ft² (since 1 ft = 12 in)

Area of the fireplace = 5 × 3 = 15 ft²

Area of the mirror = 4 × 2 = 8 ft²

Step 2: Calculate the area to be painted or covered with wallpaper

Area of the wall to be covered with paint or wallpaper = 128 - (21 + 15 + 8)

= 128 - 44

= 84 ft²
