Matthew earns $0.10 for each local newspaper he delivers twice a week. His brother earns $0.25 for delivering each Sunday newspa
1 answer:
Let the number of houses the boys deliver newspaper = x
Matthew delivers 2x newspapers
His brother delivers x newspapers,
Matthew earns per paper = $0.10
Matthew delivers twice a week so he earns =
His brother earns per newspaper = $0.25
So, equation becomes,
So, there are 31 houses where both these boys deliver newspapers.
Hence, Matthew delivers 2*31= 62 newspapers
His brother delivers 31 newspapers.
So, option A : Matthew: 62 papers; brother: 31 papers is the right option.

Answer:
138.06 lb N86.1°E
Step-by-step explanation:
There are several ways you can work this. One of the most straightforward is to resolve each vector into its north and east components, add those, and then covert the result back to magnitude and direction.
A diagram can help immensely.
We note that S78°E is the same as E12°S. Since we're used to seeing the coordinate system with the +x axis aligned with east, it can be convenient to think of the first force as 100 lb at -12°.
The angle of the second force is N53°E, which can be expressed as E37°N. Then in x-y coordinates, this force is 50 lb at +37°.
The components of the sum are the sum of the components:
R = F1 +F2 = (100cos(-12°) +50cos(37°), 100sin(-12°) +50sin(37°))
= (137.747, 9.300)
The the magnitude of the resultant is computed using the Pythagorean theorem:
||R|| = √(137.747² +9.300²) ≈ 138.06
and the angle is computed using the arctangent function. Here, our diagram tells us the angle is in the first quadrant, so is positive (relative to +x, or East).
∠R = arctan(9.300/137.747) ≈ 3.9°

We want to express the answer in terms similar to the way the given forces are expressed, so we want the angle relative to north. The resultant is then described by ...
R = 138.06 lb at N86.1°E
