For this answer, you multiply the weight of each penny nail by x and the weight of each wood nail by y.  If the bag holds one pound of nails, you would use the inequality ≤.

.05x + 0.1y ≤ 1

Answer:

0.05x+0.10y \leq 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the penny nails be represented by x

Let the wood nails be represented by = y

Each penny nails weigh = 0.05 pounds

Each wood nail weigh = 0.10 pounds

Now we have been asked about the inequality which shows the solution for all combinations of the two kinds of nails that will fit in the 1-pound bag.

So, the inequality becomes:

0.05x+0.10y \leq 1

Zinaida [17]

since we know the endpoints of the circle, we know then that distance from one to another is really the diameter, and half of that is its radius.

we can also find the midpoint of those two endpoints and we'll be landing right on the center of the circle.

\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{distance between 2 points} \\\\ (\stackrel{x_1}{-4}~,~\stackrel{y_1}{-7})\qquad (\stackrel{x_2}{-2}~,~\stackrel{y_2}{-5})\qquad \qquad d = \sqrt{( x_2- x_1)^2 + ( y_2- y_1)^2} \\\\\\ \stackrel{diameter}{d}=\sqrt{[-2-(-4)]^2+[-5-(-7)]^2}\implies d=\sqrt{(-2+4)^2+(-5+7)^2} \\\\\\ d=\sqrt{2^2+2^2}\implies d=\sqrt{2\cdot 2^2}\implies d=2\sqrt{2}~\hfill \stackrel{~\hfill radius}{\cfrac{2\sqrt{2}}{2}\implies\boxed{ \sqrt{2}}} \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill

John receives two credit card offers in the mail. Credit Card A: 1% introductory APR, 19.9% APR for purchases after the introduc
musickatia [10]

Answer:

(D) "...because he will not have to pay any interest on his purchases during the introductory APR period."

Step-by-step explanation:

There may be many reasons for John to choose one over the other depending on his future and planned usage patterns. However, answer the (D) is the only correct one in terms of stating a reason that is actually supported by the information in the question. Specifically, there is 0% APR for card B.

What's wrong with the other choices:

Choice A: incorrect statement re APR after intro period (is not 1%); B: incorrect statement re cash advance (is not 0%); C: statement is not supported by anything in the information given (it is an assumption, and is unlikely).
