Answer:
42 minutes.
Step-by-step explanation:
We know that:
y = 0.2*x
is the equation that that defines the distance, in miles, that the boat travels in x minutes.
We know that the dolphins are at 8.4 miles from the boat.
Then when we have y = 8.4, this will mean that the boat reached the dolphins.
Then we need to solve the equation:
y = 8.4 = 0.2*x
for x
To do that, we just need to isolate x in one side of the equation, so we can just divide both sides by 0.2 to get:
8.4/0.2 = (0.2*x)/0.2
42 = x
And x is time in minutes, thus, the boat needs to travel for 42 minutes to reach the dolphins.
Answer:
This is assuming that both x and y do not equal zero, if that is necessary information. 1 minute ago Solve for x in the equation x squared minus 14 x + 31 = 63.
Answer:
a. C = 12x + 110; b. $290
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The polynomial
Let L = cost of flip-flops
and S = cost of sandals
Then
C = L + S
= 40 + 4x + 70 + 8x
= 12x + 110
b. The cost
C = 12 × 15 + 110
= 180 + 110
= $290
The cost of making 15 flip-flops and 15 sandals is $290.
Answer:
b = 6 sqrt(2)
Step-by-step explanation:
Since this is right triangle, we can use the Pythagorean theorem
a^2+b^2 = c^2 where a and b are the legs and c is the hypotenuse
3^2 + b^2 = 9^2
9+b^2 = 81
b^2 = 81-9
b^2 = 72
Take the square root of each side
sqrt(b^2) = sqrt(72)
b = sqrt(36*2)
b = 6 sqrt(2)
Ok , with that information we can write the equations
x + y = 6
5x + 4y = 28
Where x = how many people ordered chicken
and y = how many people ordered egg salad
Through elimination , we can set one of the variables in both equations equal so we can eliminate it :
(4)x + (4)y = (4)6
5x + 4y = 28
4x + 4y = 24. equation 1
5x + 4y = 28. equation 2
Now we can subtract the second equation by the first equation and isolate one variable:
equation 2 - equation 1
5x - 4x + 4y - 4y = 28 - 24
x = 4
Now that we discovered our x value ( How many people ordered chicken salad ) , we can apply it to one of the equations and discover y ( how many people ordered egg salad)
x + y = 6
x= 4
4 + y = 6
We can shift 4 to the other side of the equation by subtracting 4 from both sides of the equation:
4 - 4 + y = 6 - 4
y = 2
x=4 and y=2
So the awnser is :
4 people ordered chicken salad and 2 people ordered egg salad!
I hope you understood my brief explanation!!
