Answer:

The total number of bugs in the collection is 36

Step-by-step explanation:

Let

x -----> the number of bugs that you find out

y ----> the number of bugs that the classmate find out

we know that

\frac{x}{y+x} =\frac{5}{9}  -----> equation A

x=y+4 ----> equation B

Solve the system by graphing

Remember that the solution is the intersection point both graphs

The solution is the point (20,16)

The total number of bugs in the collection is

(20+16)=36\ bugs

Answer:

Y=15-5/6x

Step-by-step explanation:

Ax+By=C

A=5,

B=6,

C=90,

So, put in the numbers to variables:

5x+6y=90.

6y=90-5x

y=15-5/6x

LOOK AT CHART BEFORE THE BULLET PART:
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

  • m = -3/4
  • y-intercept = 399
  • slope-intercept equation: y = -3/4x + 399

Step-by-step explanation:

It can be easiest simply to solve the equation for y.

  3x + 4y = 1596

  4y = -3x + 1596 . . . . subtract 3x

  y = -3/4x + 399 . . . . divide by 4

From this equation in slope-intercept form you can read the slope as -3/4 and the y-intercept as 399. You already know the equation.

The unshaded area inside the figure to the right is 648 in.² Use this fact to write an equation involving x. Then solve the equa
FrozenT [24]

The <em>second order</em> polynomial that involves the variable <em>x</em> (border inside the rectangle) and associated to the <em>unshaded</em> area is x² - 62 · x + 232 = 0.

<h3>How to derive an expression for the area of an unshaded region of a rectangle</h3>

The area of a rectangle (<em>A</em>), in square inches, is equal to the product of its width (<em>w</em>), in inches, and its height (<em>h</em>), in inches. According to the figure, we have two <em>proportional</em> rectangles and we need to derive an expression that describes the value of the <em>unshaded</em> area.

If we know that <em>A =</em> 648 in², <em>w =</em> 22 - x and <em>h =</em> 40 - x, then the expression is derived below:

<em>A = w · h</em>

(22 - x) · (40 - x) = 648

40 · (22 - x) - x · (22 - x) = 648

880 - 40 · x - 22 · x + x² = 648

x² - 62 · x + 232 = 0

The <em>second order</em> polynomial that involves the variable <em>x</em> (border inside the rectangle) and associated to the <em>unshaded</em> area is x² - 62 · x + 232 = 0. \blacksquare

If a = x+21, b = 4, c = x + 3, and d = 10, then the value of x =
Alex

Using the intersecting chord theorem:

a x b = c x d

x+21 * 4 = x+3 * 10

Simplify:

4x+84 = 10x+30

Subtract 30 from both sides:

4x + 54 = 10x

Subtract 4x from both sides:

54 = 6x

Divide both sides by 6:

x = 9
