Answer:

x_0=-5\\x_1=-2\\x_2=1\\x_3=4\\x_4=7

Δn=3

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember, if we need to divide the interval (a,b) in n equal subinterval, then we need divide the distance (d) between the endpoints of the interval and divide it by n. Then the width Δn of each subinterval is d/n.

We have the interval [-5,7]. The distance between the endpoints of the interval is

d=7-(-5)=12.

Now, we divide d by 4 and obtain \frac{d}{4}=\frac{12}{4}=3

Then, Δn=3.

Now, to find the endpoints of each sub-interval, we add 3 from the left end of the interval.

-5=x_0\\x_0+3=-5+3=-2=x_1\\x_1+3=1=x_2\\x_2+3=4=x_3\\x_3+3=7=x_4

So,

x_0=-5\\x_1=-2\\x_2=1\\x_3=4\\x_4=7

Solve question 10 using substitution or elimination. Show all work.

Solid paper costs 1.75 each
Printed paper costs 2.50 each

Given:
Ben = $43.50 (12 rolls solid paper and 9 rolls of
printed paper)
Joel = $51.50 (8 rolls solid paper and 15 rolls of
printed paper)
Let x = solid paper
Let y= printed paper
12x + 9y = 43.50
8x + 15y = 51.50

Find X:
8x + 15y = 51.50
8x = 51.50 - 15y
x= (51.50 - 15y)8

Substitute X:
12x + 9y = 43.50
12(51.50 - 15y)/8 + 9y = 43.50
(618 - 180y)/8 + 9y = 43.50
8 (618 - 180y)/8 + 8*9y = 43.50 * 8
618-180y + 72y =348
-108y = 348 - 618
-108y =-270
-108y/-108=-270/-108

Y= 2.50

x = (51.50 - 15y)/8
x = (51.50 - 15(2.5) /8
x= (51.50 - 37.50\8
X = 14/8

X = 1.75

To check: x = 1.75; y = 2.5
12x + 9y = 43.50
12(1.75) + 9(2.5) = 43.50
21 + 22.50 = 43.50
43.50 = 43.50
8x + 15y = 51.50
8(1.75) + 15(2.5) = 51.50
14 + 37.50 = 51.50
51.50 = 51.50

Hope that helps! Have a good day :)

Jim, Carla and Tomy are members of the same family. Carla is 5 years older than Jim. Tomy is 6 years older than Carla. The sum o
Blizzard [7]

We are given these three people age below:

  • Jim's age
  • Carla's age
  • Tomy's age

We define the age of Jim as any variable, because the problem doesn't give any specific age. I will define Jim's age as x.

  • Jim's age = x

Next, Carla is 5 years older than Jim. That means if Carla is 5 years older, her age would be x+5.

  • Carla's age = x+5

Then Tomy is 6 years older than Carla. That means the age would be 6+(x+5).

  • Tomy's age = 6+(x+5)

The sum of their three ages is 31 years old. That means we add all these ages and equal to 31.

\large{x + x + 5 + 6 + x + 5 = 31}

Combine like terms and solve for x.

\large{3x + 16 = 31}  \\  \large{3x = 31 - 16} \\  \large{3x = 15} \\  \large{x = 5}

Then we substitute the value of x in ages to find these three people ages.

  • Jim's age = x = 5
  • Carla's age = x+5 = 5+5 = 10
  • Tomy's age = 6+(x+5) = 6+(5+5) = 6+10 = 16.

Answer

  • Jim's age = 5
  • Carla's age = 10
  • Tomy's age = 16

A fruit stand sells apples, peaches and tomatoes. Today, they sold 4 apples for every 5 peaches. They sold 2 peaches for every 3
Brrunno [24]

Answer:

He sold 32 apples, 40 peaches and 60 apples.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

4 apples are sold every 5 peaches and

3 tomatoes are sold every 2 peaches.

i.e. the ratio is apples: peaches = 4 : 5     ...... (1)

and the ratio peaches: tomatoes = 2 : 3   ...... (2)

Peaches are the common link here in both the ratio terms.

Let us make the peaches value in both the <em>ratio as 10 </em>to make it equal in both the ratio terms.

Multiply (1) by 2 and (2) by 5:

The ratio becomes;

apples:peaches = 8:10

peaches: tomatoes = 10:15

In other words, the ratio becomes:

apples:peaches:tomatoes = 8:10:15

Let the number of apples = 8x

Let the number of peaches = 10x\\

Let the number of tomatoes = 15x

We are given that total fruits are = 132

\Rightarrow 8x+10x+15x = 132\\\Rightarrow 33x = 132\\\Rightarrow x =4\\

So, number of apples sold = 8 \times 4 = 32

Number of peaches sold = 10 \times 4 = 40

Number of tomatoes sold = 15 \times 4 = 60
