Answer:

432 people on Friday and 658 on Saturday

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets use variables for each day

x=Friday and y=Saturday

now write two equations since you were given two different information (money and people)

$6 on Friday and $8 on Saturday with a total amount of $7856

the equation will be 6x+8y=7856

now the second equation will be for people

x amount of people on Friday and y amount of people on saturday for a total of 1090; the equation will be

x+y=1090

put them together

6x+8y=7856

x+y=1090

now you can cancel a variable but manipulating one of the equations. We'll use x, to cancel x you need make it zero so multiply the bottom by -6

6x+8y=7856

-6(x+y=1090)

6x+8y=7856                   now subtract downwards, with the x cancelling

-6x-6y=-6540

2y=1316                          simplify

(2y/2)=(1316/2)              

y=658

                                       insert y into x+y=1090

x+(658)=1090

    -658   -658

x=432

The graph shows which equation?
liraira [26]

Answer:

First option / a - y = 2x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

    We can tell it'll either be the first one or the second one as the line intercepts the y-axis at -2, so the b will be -2.

    The line goes up 2 and over 1, so the slope will be 2. Putting all the pieces together gives us the first option of y = 2x - 2.

A cuboid with a volume of 924cm^3 has dimensions 4cm, (x+1)cm and (x+11). Show clearly that x^2+12x-220=0 solve the equation by
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

x^2+12x-220=0 -- Proved

x = 10\ \ \ x = -22

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Volume = 924cm^3

Dimension: 4cm; (x+1)cm; (x+11)cm

Required

Show that x^2+12x-220=0

The volume is calculated as:

4 * (x + 1) * (x + 11) = 924

Open the brackets

(4x + 4) * (x + 11) = 924

4x^2 + 44x + 4x + 44 = 924

4x^2 + 48x+ 44 = 924

Collect Like Terms

4x^2 + 48x+ 44 - 924=0

4x^2 + 48x -880=0

Divide through by 4

\frac{4x^2}{4} + \frac{48x}{4} -\frac{880}{4}=0

x^2+12x-220=0

Solving further:

Expand the expression

x^2 + 22x - 10x - 220 = 0

Factorize:

x(x + 22) - 10(x + 22) = 0

(x - 10)(x + 22) = 0

Split:

x - 10 = 0;\ \ \ x + 22 = 0

x = 10\ \ \ x = -22

Answer:

Opposite Angles Theorem

Step-by-step explanation:

All opposite angles are congruent, meaning that two angles created by intersecting lines that oppose eachother are equal in size. The theorem goes by different names, so I don't know exactly what your teacher is asking for, but I hope I could help.
