Amanda was asked by her math teacher to solve an inequality on the board. Amanda put the following on the board: 3x - 2(x - 1) ≤

2x - 10 3x - 2x + 2 ≤ 2x - 10 1x ≤ 2x - 12 -1x ≤ -12 x ≤ 12 The other students were asked to do an error analysis on Amanda's work. What did the other students say? Did Amanda make a mistake, and if so what did she do wrong?

Answer:

Yes, she did not reverse the inequality sign when the last step was to multiply or divide by a negative number,

Mr Smith's art class took a bus trip to an art museum. The bus averaged 65 miles per hour on the highway and 25 miles per hour i
Leya [2.2K]
Let x be the distance traveled on the highway and y the distance traveled in the city, so:
\left \{ {{x+y=375} \atop { \frac{1}{65}x+ \frac{1}{25}y =7}} \right.
 
Now, the system of equations in matrix form will be:
\left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1&\\ \frac{1}{65} & \frac{1}{25} &\end{array}\right]   \left[\begin{array}{ccc}x&\\y&\end{array}\right] =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}375&\\7&\end{array}\right]

Next, we are going to find the determinant:
D=  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}1&1\\ \frac{1}{65} & \frac{1}{25} \end{array}\right] =(1)( \frac{1}{25}) - (1)( \frac{1}{65} )= \frac{8}{325}
Next, we are going to find the determinant of x:
D_{x} =  \left[\begin{array}{ccc}375&1\\7& \frac{1}{25} \end{array}\right] = (375)( \frac{1}{25} )-(1)(7)=8

Now, we can find x:
x=  \frac{ D_{x} }{D} = \frac{8}{ \frac{8}{325} } =325mi

Now that we know the value of x, we can find y:
y=375-325=50mi

Remember that time equals distance over velocity; therefore, the time on the highway will be:
t_{h} = \frac{325}{65} =5hours
An the time on the city will be:
t_{c} = \frac{50}{25} =2hours

We can conclude that the bus was five hours on the highway and two hours in the city.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

$45.50

Step-by-step explanation:

1. $65.00 ÷ 100 = 0.65

2. 0.65 x 30 = $19.50

3. $65.00 - $19.50 = $45.50

The city planning committee wants one tree planted every 20 ft along Dayton Ave. if the perimeter of the plot of land is 234 ft
Vladimir [108]

Answer:

2 trees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the city is planting a tree every 20 feet across Dayton Avenue, then we need to find the length of the side that is on Dayton Avenue.

We are missing 3 sides to this. But it's extremely important to note that the side adjacent to Dayton Avenue is the same length as the other missing two sides combined. This is because both of these lengths contain the 1 feather and 2 feather mark - these signify congruence.

This means that the side lengths of both of them combined will be 234-52-68=114

This means the side adjacent to Dayton Avenue is

114\div2=57 feet long.

Now that we know that the side is 57 feet long, we have to divide this by 20, as a tree is being placed every 20 feet. If we get a decimal, we will have to round down because it gets planted only, and only if, 20 more feet has been accomplished. If we are a fraction of the way there, a tree doesn't get planted.

57\div20=2.85

Rounding down gets us 2.

Hope this helped!

GaryK [48]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • length 5 cm
  • width 3 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Your knowledge of multiplication facts tells you 3×5 = 15. Your knowledge of addition facts tells you 3+2 = 5. So, the dimensions 3 cm and 5 cm are the width and length of the rectangle, respectively.

Use the given conditions to write an equation for the line in point-slope form and in slope-intercept form.
rodikova [14]
Point-Slope Form is y + 7 = - 4( x + 5)
Slope-Intercept Form is y = - 4x - 27

Parallel equations have the same slope. The point-slope formula is basically y minus the given y-coordinate of the ordered pair, set equal to the slope being distributed to x minus the given x-coordinate. (If that explanation was complicated, you can just google the formula.) In order to find the slope-intercept form, you can use the point slope form and plug in zero for x to find the y-value that would be your y-intercept.
