Answer: 900m

Step-by-step explanation:

think of a line that has negative and positive numbers on it. Go to 0. If you go UP from zero 500m you can add a distance of 500m to it. If you go DOWN 400m that makes the line longer, so you can add those two together. From there it's basic math. 400+500=900. So it's 900m

Answer:

900m

Step-by-step explanation:

So your base is -400m so what you want to do is add up till you get to 0. So you add 400m to get to zero. Then you need to subtract from 500m until you get to 0. So you have 500m. Then you add 400m and 500m (400m+500m) which gives you the answer 900m.

Which is the equation of a line that has a slope of 2 and contains the point (0,5)

riadik2000 [5.3K]

$\bf (\stackrel{x_1}{0}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{5})~\hspace{10em} slope = m\implies 2 \\\\\\ \begin{array}{|c|ll} \cline{1-1} \textit{point-slope form}\\ \cline{1-1} \\ y-y_1=m(x-x_1) \\\\ \cline{1-1} \end{array}\implies y-5=2(x-0) \\\\\\ y-5=2x\implies y=2x+5$

What is the sum? (2x + 4)/(x + 1) + (- x + 5)/(x + 1) (x - 1)/(x + 1) (1 - 1)/(2x + 2) (x + 9)/(x + 1) (x + 9)/(2x + 2)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Since they already have a common denominator of x+1 we can add the numerators

(2x+4-x+5)/(x+1)

(x+9)/(x+1)

Kristen has 64 coins in her bank. She has $9.25 in dimes and quarters. How many dimes and quarters does she have?

Stella [2.4K]

D= # of dimes
q= # of quarters

QUANTITY EQUATION:
d + q= 64

COST EQUATION:
0.10d + 0.25q= $9.25

STEP 1:
multiply quantity equation by -0.10 to be able to eliminate the d term in step 2

(-0.10)(d + q)= (-0.10)(64)
-0.10d - 0.10q= -6.40

STEP 2:
add equation from step 1 to cost equation to eliminate the d term and solve for q

Add
0.10d + 0.25q= $9.25
-0.10d - 0.10q= -6.40

0.15q= 2.85
divide both sides by 0.15

q= 19 quarters

STEP 3:
substitute q value in step 2 into either original equation to find d value

d + q= 64

d + 19= 64
subtract 19 from both sides

d= 45 dimes

CHECK:
0.10d + 0.25q= $9.25
0.10(45) + 0.25(19)= 9.25
4.50 + 4.75= 9.25
9.25= 9.25

ANSWER: There are 45 dimes and 19 quarters.

Hope this helps! :)
