40-10*2=60

Okay, so first off, take ten away from 40. That gives you 30. Then, if you double that, it gives you 60. So, you can do half of 60 to get 30, and then add ten to get 40. So, he began with 60.

The current San Francisco cable railway is driven by two large 14-foot-diameter drive wheels, called sheaves. Because of the fig

Elis [28]

The length of an arc is given by (θ/360)2πr, where θ is the angle subtended by the arc at the center and r is the radius.
The angle θ in this case is 270°, while the radius is 7 feet, diameter is 14 feet
Thus the length of the of the cable will be;
=(270/360)× 22/7×14
= 0.75 × 44
= 33 feet

Find ML, JK=3x+11, ML=10x-12, NP=45

tigry1 [53]

Answer:

$ML = 58$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$JK=3x+11, ML=10x-12, NP=45$

See attachment

Required

Length ML

First, calculate x using the following equivalent ratios

$JK : NP = NP : ML$

Express as fraction

$\frac{JK }{ NP} = \frac{NP }{ ML}$

Cross Multiply

$JK * ML = NP * NP$

Substitute values:

$(3x +11) * (10x - 12) = 45 * 45$

Expand

$30x^2 - 36x + 110x - 132 = 2025$

$30x^2 +74x - 132 = 2025$

Collect like terms

$30x^2 +74x - 132 - 2025=0$

$30x^2 +74x -2157=0$

Using a calculator:

$x \approx -10$ and $x \approx 7$

Given that:

$ML=10x-12$

Substitute values for x

$ML=10*-10-12 = -100 - 12 = -112$

$ML=10*7-12 = 70 - 12 = 58$

ML cannot be negative; So:

$ML = 58$

River rambler charges $25 per day to rent a kayak. How much will it cost to rent a kayak for 5 days? Write and solve an equation

Sati [7]

Answer:

C=25d

Step-by-step explanation:

We write an equation where C or cost is my output and d or days is my input. I should be able to put in any number of days and find the cost. Let's gather some data:

River Ramble

Day 1 $25(1)=25 cost

Day 2 $25(2)=50 cost

Day 3 $25(3)=75 cost

Day d $25(d)=C.

Our equation is C=25d.
