Answer:

15/4 and 45/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y be the numbers

x = 3y

x+ y = 15

Substitute the first equation in to the second equation

3y+y = 15

4y = 15

y = 15/4

x = 3(15/4)

x = 45/4

The two numbers are 15/4 and 45/4

Charra [1.4K]
The angles diagonally opposite each other are congruent while those adjacent to each other add up to 180 degrees. You can get eight congruent angles with a transversal if the two lines are parallel, because each angle would be 90.

Write and solve a system of equations made up of Aiden's and Natalie's lines of best fit that they can use
dezoksy [38]

The catapult arm length for their tennis balls to cover the same distance is 32.3 feet.

A linear equation is in the form:

y = mx + b

where y, x are variables, m is the rate of change and b is the initial value of y.

Given the equations:

Aiden: y = 2.3x + 160.7

Natalie: y = 3.6x + 202.6

For their tennis balls to cover the same distance:

2.3x + 160.7 = 3.6x + 202.6

1.3x = -41.9

x = -32.3

The catapult arm length for their tennis balls to cover the same distance is 32.3 feet.

Given: A, B, and C What is the value of X in the matrix equation AX + B = C?
Ksju [112]

Answer:

Option (2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given expression is, AX + B = C

A=\begin{bmatrix}-3 & -4\\ 1 & 0\end{bmatrix}

B=\begin{bmatrix}-7 & -9\\ 4 & -1\end{bmatrix}

C=\begin{bmatrix}-42 & -20\\ 5 & 4\end{bmatrix}

AX + B = C

AX = C - B

C - B = \begin{bmatrix}-42 & -20\\ 5 & 4\end{bmatrix}-\begin{bmatrix}-7 & -9\\ 4 & -1\end{bmatrix} = \begin{bmatrix}-42+7 & -20+9\\ 5-4 & 4+1\end{bmatrix}

C - B = \begin{bmatrix}-35 & -11\\ 1 & 5\end{bmatrix}

Let  X=\begin{bmatrix}a & b\\ c & d\end{bmatrix}

AX = \begin{bmatrix}-3 & -4\\ 1 & 0\end{bmatrix}\times \begin{bmatrix}a & b\\ c & d\end{bmatrix}

     = \begin{bmatrix}(-3a-4c) & (-3b-4d)\\ a & b\end{bmatrix}

Since AX = C - B

\begin{bmatrix}(-3a-4c) & (-3b-4d)\\ a & b\end{bmatrix}=\begin{bmatrix}-35 & -11\\ 1 & 5\end{bmatrix}

Therefore, a = 1, b = 5

(-3a - 4c) = -35

3(1) + 4c = 35

3 + 4c = 35

4c = 32

c = 8

And (-3b - 4d) = -11

3(5) + 4d = 11

4d = -4

d = -1

Therefore, Option (2). X = \begin{bmatrix}1 & 5\\ 8 & -1\end{bmatrix} will be the answer.

The cost of a pizza with the works" is represented as a function of its
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

diameter of the pizza = 21.88 centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

C = d^2 – 2d + 447

where

C = cost of the pizza

d = diameter of the pizza

If the pizza costs $12.00, then what is a reasonable estimate for the diameter of the pizza?

12 = d^2 – 2d + 447

d^2 - 2d = 447 - 12

d^2 - 2d = 435

d^2 - 2d - 435 = 0

Solve the quadratic equation using formula

a = 1

b = -2

c = -435

d = -b +or- √b^2 - 4ac / 2a

= -(-2) +or- √(-2)^2 - (4)(1)(-435) / 2(1)

= 2 +or- √4 - (-1740) / 2

= 2 +or- √4 + 1740 / 2

= 2 +or- √1744 / 2

= 2 +or- 4√109 / 2

= 2/2 +or- 4√109/2

= 1 +or- 2√109

d = 1 + 2√109 or d = 1 - 2√109

= 1 + 2(10.44) or d = 1 - 2(10.44)

= 1 + 20.88 or d = 1 - 20.88

d = 21.88 or -19.88

diameter of the pizza = 21.88 centimeters

Therefore, the estimated diameter of the pizza can not be negative. So, diameter of the pizza = 21.88 cm
