Answer:

c. 130

Step-by-step explanation:

Let call B the quantity of voters who voted yes for both propositions.

From the question we know that twice as many voters voted "yes" for R as for S, that can be written as the following equation:

R+B=2(S+B)

Where R is the number who voted "yes" for R but "no2 for S and S is the number who voted "yes" for S but "no" for R.

Replacing R by 750 and S by 310 and solving for B, we get:

750+B=2(310+B)

750+B=620+2B

2B-B=750-620

B=130

So, 130 voters voted yes for both propositions

Ryan bought 3 books and a magazine . He paid $30 and relieved $5 change if the magazine cost twice as much as each book, find th
Montano1993 [528]

The books are $5, and the magazines are $10. I’m not sure which way you want it explained but since magazines are twice the price of books, you can solve the equation 3b + 2b = 25. This gives you b=5 which you just multiply by 2 giving you the price of a magazine.

Si mi hermano gana 589 pesos diarios si ha trabajado 15 días de este mes ¿cuánto dinero ha ganado?
weeeeeb [17]

Mi hermano ha ganado un dinero <em>devengado</em> de 8835 pesos en 15 días.

En esta pregunta debemos determinar el dinero <em>devengado</em> por un período de 15 días a partir de una tasa diaria <em>constante</em>. Esa cantidad es igual al producto de la tasa diaria <em>constante</em>, en pesos por día, y el número de días <em>trabajados</em>, en días:

x = 589\,\frac{\$}{dia}\times 15\,dias

x = 8835\,\$

Mi hermano ha ganado un dinero <em>devengado</em> de 8835 pesos en 15 días.

The points J (-13,10) and K(-1,-6) are endpoints of a diameter of circle G. What is the equation of circle G?
In-s [12.5K]
The correct answer is D

The equation of a circle is (x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

to find (h,k), you find the middle of the circle, in this scenario you do so by finding the middle of the diameter, a line that goes through the center of the circle.

To find the X value of the midpoint, add both x values together and divide by 2 and repeat for y

-13 + -1 = -14
-14/2 =-7

10+ -6 = 4
4/2 = 2

therefore (h,k) = ( -7, 2 )

Next plug these values in the equation of a circle

(x-h)^2 + (y-k)^2 = r^2

becomes

(x- (-7)) ^2 + (y-(2)) ^2 = r^2

to find r, use the distance formula to find the length of the diameter, 20, and divide by 2


plug 10 in for r and you get 100

(x+7)^2 + (y-2)^2 = 100
