Answer:

Asa forgot to floss for 106 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, we will start by writing out the details we are given clearly.

Length of floss used per day = 18 inches

Original length of floss bought for use = 50 ft = 600 inches

Number of days between March 17th and August 2nd = 138 days

Length of floss left after August 2nd = 2 feet = 24 inches

From this, we can clearly calculate the length of floss used.

This will be original floss length - length of floss remaining = 600 - 24 = 576 inches

Length of floss used = 576 inches

If Asa used 18 inches per day, we can find the number of days he flossed by  dividing the length used in total by the length used per day.

That will be 576/18 = 32 days

if Asa flossed for only 32 days, the number of days he didn't floss is 138 - 32 =106 days

Hence, Asa didn't floss for 106 days.

Use the product property of roots to choose the expression equivalent to 3√5x*3√25x^2?
nignag [31]

Answer: \sqrt[3]{125x^3}.


Step-by-step explanation: Given radical expression

\sqrt[3]{5x} \times \sqrt[3]{25x^2}.

According to the product property of roots.

\sqrt[n]{a} \times \sqrt[n]{b} = \sqrt[n]{a \times b}

On applying above rule, we get

\sqrt[3]{5x} \times \sqrt[3]{25x^2} = \sqrt[3]{5x \times 25x^2}

5 × 25 = 125 and

x \times x^2 = x^3

Therefore,

\sqrt[3]{5x \times 25x^2}= \sqrt[3]{125x^3}

<h3>So, the correct option would be second option \sqrt[3]{125x^3}.</h3>

The function f(x) is given by the set of ordered pairs.
My name is Ann [436]
Answer: f(0) = 6.

Explanation:

Ther ordered pairs are: (x,y) or (x, f(x) )

So, (1,0) means that f(1) = 0 which denies the fourth choice.

(-10,2) means that f(-10) = 2 which denies the first choice

(0,6) means that f(0) = 6, which is the third choice. So, that is the true equation.

2x + y = 12<br> 4x - 3y = 2
7nadin3 [17]

Answer:

The value of x for equation is 3.4

The value of y for equation is 5.2  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The two linear equation are

2 x + y = 12           ........A

4 x - 3 y = 2              .........B

Now, Solving both equations , we get

3 × ( 2 x + y ) + (4 x - 3 y) = 3 × 12 - 2

Or, 6 x + 3 y + 4 x - 3 y = 36 - 2

Or, (6 x + 4 x) + (3 y - 3 y) = 34

Or, 10 x + 0 = 34

∴  x = \dfrac{34}{10}

i.e x = 3.4

So, The value of x for equation , x = 3.4

Put the value of x into eq A

∵ 2 x + y = 12

Or, y = 12 - 2 x

Or, y = 12 - 2 × 3.4

Or, y = 12 - 6.8

∴ y = 5.2

So, The value of y for equation , y = 5.2

Hence, The value of x for equation is 3.4  and The value of y for equation is  5.2   Answer

Graph the system. Tell whether the system has one solution, no solution, or infinitely many solutions. y = –2x + 1 y = –2x – 3
Alchen [17]
Let's try the actual solution of the system

<span>y = –2x + 1
y = –2x – 3

Note that the slopes of the graphs of these two lines are the same:  -2.

That means that the lines are parallel to one another.

Only the y-intercepts (1 and -3) are different.

Since the 2 lines never intersect, the system has no solution.
