Answer:

  C.  4,100

Step-by-step explanation:

"60% more" is represented by a multiplier of 1 + 0.60 = 1.60.

"60% fewer" is represented by a multiplier of 1 - 0.60 = 0.40.

__

Let b represent the number of booklets distributed by Team B. Then the number distributed by Team A is ...

  1.60 × (0.40b) . . . . 60% more boxes, each with 60% fewer booklets

  = 0.64b

Then the total distributed by both teams is ...

  b + 0.64b = 1.64b = (164/100)b = (41/25)b

The only answer choice that is a multiple of 41 is ...

  4,100 . . . choice C

__

For 4100 to be the number of booklets distributed by both teams, Team B will have distributed 2500 booklets, and Team A will have distributed 1600 booklets. Team A might have distributed 160 boxes of 100 booklets, while Team B might have distributed 100 boxes of 250 booklets.

Include a description of the triangle you drew to help you solve, including the variables and measurements you assigned to each side and angle. Round your answer to the nearest foot. sin(θ) = opposite/hypotenusesin(46°) = y/80y = 80sin(46°)plug this in you calculator to get y = 58 feet

Solve the following quadratic equation. Express your answers in exact form.
wlad13 [49]

Answer:

x = (2+√10)/ 3 and x= (2-√10/3)

Step-by-step explanation:

g(x) = -3x² +4x +2

use the quadratic formula x= (-b±√b²-4ac)/2a, when g(x) = ax² +bx +c

x= [-4 ±√4²-4*(-3)*2] / 2*(-3) , solve under the square root

x= (-4 ± √16 +24) / -6 , add under the radical

x= (-4 ±√40) / -6, simplify the square root

x= (-4 ±2√10) /-6, factor -2

x= -2 (2±√10)/-2 *3, simplify -2

x= (2±√10)/3

Therefore,

x = (2+√10)/ 3 and x= (2-√10/3)

Together, the areas of the rectangles sum to 30 square centimeters.
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

3x+2y

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the rectangles attached

Area of a rectangle = Length * Width

A = A1+A2

given

A = 30cm²

A1 = 3 * x

A1 = 3x

A2 = 2*y

A2 = 2y

Substitute

30 = 3x+2y

Hence the required equation is 3x+2y = 30
