Answer:

<h2>56</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

\bold{METHOD\ 1:}\\\\\begin{array}{ccc}100\%&-&x\\75\%&-&42\end{array}\qquad\text{cross multiply}\\\\75x=(100)(42)\\75x=4200\qquad\text{divide both sides by 75}\\\boxed{x=56}

\bold{METHOD\ 2:}\\\\p\%=\dfrac{p}{100}\to75\%=\dfrac{75}{100}=0.75\\\\75\%\ of\ x\ is\ 42\to0.75x=42\qquad\text{divide both sides by 0.75}\\\\\boxed{x=56}

Alice has 12 more trees in her garden than Stephen has. After Stephen planted 10 more trees and Alice dug out 4, together they h
Dafna1 [17]

Answer:

Stephen has 9 trees

Alice has 21 trees

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>At the beginning:</u>

Stephen = x trees

Alice = x + 12 trees

<u>At the end:</u>

Alice = (x + 12) - 4 trees

Stephen = x + 10 trees

Total = 36

Then

((x+12)-4)+(x+10)=36\\ \\(x+12-4)+(x+10)=36\\ \\(x+8)+(x+10)=36\\ \\x+8+x+10=36\\ \\2x+18=36\\ \\2x+18-18=36-18\\ \\2x=18\\ \\x=9

Stephen - 9 trees

Alice - 9 + 12 = 21 trees

dale is driving to Miami. suppose that the distance (in miles) is a linear function of his total driving time (in minutes). dale
nexus9112 [7]
Considering there is a function (relationship) and that it is linear, the distance will change proportionally to time constantly. In other words, we are taking the speed to be constant throughout the journey.
If we let:
t = time (min's) driving
d = distance (miles) from destination
Then we can represent the above information as:
t = 40: d = 59
t = 52: d = 50
If we think of this as a graph, we can think of the x-axis representing time and the y-axis representing the distance to the destination. Being linear, the function will be a line, i.e. it will have a constant gradient. If you were plot the two points inferred from the information and connect the two dots, you will get a declining line (one with a negative gradient) representing the inversely proportional relationship or equally, the negative correlation between the time driving and the distance to the destination. The equation of this line will be the linear function that relates time and the distance to the destination. To find this linear function, we do as follows:

Find the gradient (m) of the line:
m = Δy/Δx
In this case, the x-values are t-values and our y-values are d-values, so:
Δy = Δd
= 50 - 59
= -9
Δx = Δt
= 52 - 40
= 12
m = -9/12 = -3/4
Note: m is equivalent to speed with units: d/t

Use formula to find function and rearrange to give it in the desired format:
y - y₁ = m(x - x₁)
d - 50 = -3/4(t - 52)
4d - 200 = -3t + 156
4d + 3t - 356 = 0

Let t = 70 to find d at the time:
4d + 3(70) - 356 = 0
4d + 210 - 356 = 0
4d - 146 = 0
4d = 146
d = 73/2 = 36.5 miles

So after 70 min's of driving, Dale will be 36.5 miles from his destination.

Help needed I need the answer with work shown for the graphs
andreyandreev [35.5K]

top left: speed = 2.7 miles per hour  = 2.7 MPH

top right: speed = 0 miles per hour  = 0 MPH

bottom left: speed = 4 miles per hour  = 4 mi/h

bottom right: speed = 2 miles per hour  = 2 mi/h

and so, the fastest is bottom left. And pay attention in class! i'm in highschool and Iearned this in 6th grade!

Step-by-step explanation:

key: speed= distance/time

distance= speedxtime

time=distance/speed

top left: 8/3= 2.66667 MPH= 2.7 MPH

top right: 0/8= 0 MPH= 0 MPH

bottom left: 8/2= 4 MPH= 4 MPH

bottom right: 8/4= 2 MPH= 2 MPH
