Answer:
Q1:14 Q2:8903.5
Step-by-step explanation:
I find that using equations to solve problems makes it a lot easier.
The first company's equation would be y=5743+225.75x because 5743 is the set fee and 225.75 is for each ton of sugar. The second company would be y=7500+100.25x for the same reasons.
So we need to find a value of x that works for each company and a value of y that is the same for the cost.
Now we combine them.
Solve for x:
5743+225.75x=7500+100.25x
-5743 -5743
225.75x= 1757+100.25x
-100.25x -100.25x
125.50x=1757
/125.5 /125.5
x=14
Therefore, for Q1, the answer is 14.
Now we solve for y by substituting x for 14.
5743+225.75(14)
5743+3160.5
8903.5
We can also check this with the other equation
7500+100.25(14)
7500+1403.5
8903.5
So therefore, the answer to Q2 would be 8903.5.
I just took the test. The correct answer is:
The new length of the string will be 16 1/4 feet. Then the correct option is B.
<h3>What is the length?</h3>
It is the measure of distance between the two points and is known as length. The length is measured in meters generally.
Ed needed to extend the string on his kite. The current string was seven and three-fourths feet that is (7 3/4).
The mixed fraction number is coverted into a decimal number.
7 3/4 = 7.75 feet
He cut a piece of string that measured 8.5 feet and added it to the existing string.
Then the new length of the string will be
L = 7.75 + 8.5
L = 16.25
L = 16 1/4 feet
The new length of the string will be 16 1/4 feet. Then the correct option is B.

85 + 95 = 180$
So 150 - 180 = -30$ so she is 30 dollars in debt.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the length of a fish after t years modeled by the equation
L(t) = 9 − 1/5t
The average rate of growth is expressed as;
dL/dt = -1/5 (differential of a constant is zero)
Hence the average rate of growth over the first year of life is -1/5 in/year
