Write a system of equations to describe the situation below, solve using substitution, and fill in the blanks. Mr. Mason, the ow

ner of two car dealerships in Fairfax, is holding a contest to see which one can sell the most cars. Fairfax Cars has already sold 19 cars, and Mason's Autos has sold 18 cars. Going forward, the salespeople at Fairfax Cars think they can sell 1 car per day, whereas the salespeople at Mason's Autos are aiming for sales of 2 cars per day. If the salespeople's predictions are accurate, it won't be long before the two dealerships are tied. How many cars will each lot have sold? How long will that take?

Answer:

It will take one day and they will each sell 20 cars.

Step-by-step explanation:

Choose variables to represent each thing of interest:

  • Fairfax = F
  • Mason = M
  • days = d

F = 19 + 1(d)

M = 18 + 2(d)

The goal is for F and M to equal one another, so set the equations equal to one another.

19 + 1d = 18 + 2d

1 = d

So, it will take one day.

Now, solve for F and M

F = 19 + 1(1) = 20

M = 18 + 2(1) = 20

Mrs Atkins is going to choose two students from her class to take part in a competition.
Schach [20]

Given:

Total number of girls in her class = 16

Total number of boys in her class = 14

To find:

The number of different ways of choosing one girl and one boy.

Solution:

We have,

Total number of girls = 16

Total number of boys = 14

So,

Total number of ways to select one girl from 16 girls = 16

Total number of ways to select one boy from 14 boys = 14

Now, number of different ways of choosing one girl and one boy is

16\times 14=224

Therefore, the required number of different ways is 224.

In triangle PQR, segments QS and RT are medians. If PT = 3x - 1, PS = 4x - 2, and
MrMuchimi

The length of SR is 10 inches ⇒ answer B

Step-by-step explanation:

The median of a triangle is the segment drawn from one vertex to

the mid-point of the opposite side to this vertex

In Δ PQR

1. QS is a median

2. RT is a median

We need to find the length of SR

∵ QS is a median in Δ PQR

∵ PR is the opposite side to vertex Q

∴ S is the mid-point PR

∴ PS = SR

∵ PS = 4x - 2

∵ SR = 2x + 4

∴ 4x - 2 = 2x + 4

- Subtract 2x from both sides

∴ 2x - 2 = 4

- Add 2 to both sides

∴ 2x = 6

- Divide both sides by 2

∴ x = 3

Substitute the value of x in the expression of SR

∵ SR = 2x + 4

∵ x = 3

∴ SR = 2(3) + 4

∴ SR = 6 + 4

∴ SR = 10 inches

The length of SR is 10 inches

Work out 5/8−2/5 Give your answer in its simplest form.
Inessa05 [86]
\frac{5}{8} -  \frac{2}{5}

First, find the LCD (least common denominator) of the two fractions.
List the multiples of each denominator and find the one that is common.
Multiples of 8: 8, 16, 24, 32, 40
Multiples of 5: 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 35, 40
40 is your LCD.

Second, what can you divide by to make the denominators of each fraction '40'? Whatever you do to the bottom you must do to the top.
\frac{5*5}{8*5} - \frac{2*8}{5*8}

Third, multiply.
\frac{25}{40} - \frac{16}{40}

Fourth, since the denominators are the same now, we can combine them.
\frac{25-16}{40}

Fifth, subtract '25 - 16' to get 9.
\frac{9}{40}

Since \frac{9}{40} is already in the simplest form, it is your answer.

Answer as fraction: \frac{9}{40}
Answer as decimal: 0.225

A company manufactures two different sizes of boat lifts. The smaller lift requires 1 hour in the welding department and 2 hours
qaws [65]

Answer:

  • The solution that optimizes the profit is producing 0 small lifts and 50 large lifts.
  • Below are all the steps explained in detail.
  • The graph is attached.

Explanation:

<u />

<u>1. Name the variables:</u>

  • x: number of smaller lifts
  • y: number of larger lifts

<u></u>

<u>2.  Build a table to determine the number of hours each lift requires from each department:</u>

<u></u>

Number of hours

                                        small lift    large lift   total per department

Welding department            1x             3y                x + 3y

Packaging department        2x             1y                2x + y

<u></u>

<u>3. Constraints</u>

  • 150 hours available in welding:         x + 3y ≤ 150
  • 120 hours available in packaging:   2x + y ≤ 120
  • The variables cannot be negative:    x ≥ 0, and y ≥ 0

Then you must:

  • draw the lines and regions defined by each constraint
  • determine the region of solution that satisfies all the constraints
  • determine the vertices of the solution region
  • test the profit function for each of the vertices. The vertex that gives the greatest profit is the solution (the number of each tupe that should be produced to maximize profits)

<u></u>

<u>4. Graph</u>

See the graph attached.

Here is how you draw it.

  • x + 3y ≤ 150
  • draw the line x + 3y = 150 (a solid line because it is included in the solution set)
  • shade the region below and to the left of the line

  • 2x + y ≤ 120
  • draw the line 2x + y ≤ 120 (a solid line because it is included in the solution set)
  • shade the region below and to the left of the line

  • x ≥ 0 and y ≥ 0: means that only the first quadrant is considered

  • the solution region is the intersection of the regions described above.

  • take the points that are vertices inside the solutoin region.

<u>5. Test the profit function for each vertex</u>

The profit function is P(x,y) = 25x + 90y

The vertices shown in the graph are:

  • (0,0)
  • (0,50)
  • (42,36)
  • (60,0)

The profits with the vertices are:

  • P(0,0) = 0
  • P(0,50) = 25(0) + 90(50) = 4,500
  • P(42,36) = 25(42) + 90(36) = 4,290
  • P(60,0) = 25(60) + 90(0) = 1,500

Thus, the solution that optimizes the profit is producing 0 smaller lifts and 90 larger lifts.
