Answer:

The first error that Tomas made was added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x ----> represents the number of pounds of granola

y ----> represents the number of pounds of walnuts

we know that

The linear equation that represent this scenario is

2x+6y=12 -----> equation A

x=3 -----> equation B

substitute equation B in equation A and solve for y

2(3)+6y=12

6+6y=12

Subtract 6 both sides

6+6y-6=12-6

6y=6

Divide by 6 both sides

6y/6=6/6

y=1

The number of pounds of walnuts is 1

therefore

The first error that Tomas made was added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6

Find the coordinates of a point that divides the directed line segment PQ in the ratio 5:3. A) (2, 2) B) (4, 1) C) (–6, 6) D) (4

Yuri [45]

Answer:

The answer is explained below

Step-by-step explanation:

The question is not complete we need point P and point Q.

let us assume P is at (3,1) and Q is at (-2,4)

To find the coordinate of the point that divides a line segment PQ with point P at $(x_1,y_1)$ and point Q at $(x_2,y_2)$ in the proportion a:b, we use the formula:

$x-coordinate:\\\frac{a}{a+b}(x_2-x_1)+x_1 \\\\While \ for\ y-coordinate:\\\frac{a}{a+b}(y_2-y_1)+y_1$

line segment PQ is divided in the ratio 5:3 let us assume P is at (3,1) and Q is at (-2,4). Therefore:

$x-coordinate:\\\frac{5}{5+3}(-2-3)+3 \\\\While \ for\ y-coordinate:\\\frac{5}{5+3}(4-1)+1$

A7-ft ladder is placed against a wall with its base 3 ft from the wall. How high above the ground is the top of the ladder? Roun

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

6.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

use pythagorean theorem

a² + b² = c²

a² + 3² = 7²

a² + 9 = 49

Subtract 9 from both side

a² = 40

Take the square root of both sides

a = 6.324555320336759

Rounded

a = 6.3
