Answer:

There are 30 out of towners

Step-by-step explanation:

locals: out of town: total

2 3 2+3 = 5

There are 50 total 50/5 =10 so multiply each term by 10

locals: out of town: total

2*10 3 *10 5*10

20 30 50

There are 30 out of towners

Total teenagers = 50

Ratio = 2:3

Let the ratio people out of town be x

2x + 3x = 50

5x = 50

x = 10

Therefore 3× 10, 30 people out of town travelled to swim meet

For this case we have the following equation:
$d = \sqrt{\frac{3h}{2}}$
Where,
d: the distance they can see in thousands
h: their eye-level height in feet
For Kaylib:
$d = \sqrt{\frac{3(48)}{2}}$
$d=\sqrt{3(24)}$
$d=\sqrt{72}$
$d=6\sqrt{2}$
For Addison:
$d = \sqrt{\frac{3(85\frac{1}{3})}{2}}$
$d = \sqrt{\frac{256}{2}}$
$d=\sqrt{128}$
$d=8\sqrt{2}$
Subtracting both distances we have:
$8\sqrt{2} - 6\sqrt{2} = 2\sqrt{2}$
Answer:
$2\sqrt{2}$
B. 2√2 mi

Solve the system of equations using the substitution method. y=2+1/4x,

skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer: (4,3)

Step-by-step explanation:

1. In this method you must solve one of the equation for one of the variables and substitute it into the other equation to find the other variable. Then, substitute the value of that variable into one of the original equation to obtain the value of the other one.

2 You have that:

$y=2+1/4x$

3. Then, you can substitute it into the other equation and solve for x:

$3x-5(2+1/4x)=-3\\3x-10-5/4x=-3\\7/4x=7\\x=4$

4. Now you can obtain y:

$y=2+1/4x$

$y=2+1/4(4)\\y=3$

5. The answer is:

(4,3)

Suppose the equation of the axis of symmetry for a quadratic function is x = 3 and one of the x-intercepts is 8. What is the oth

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

The axis of symmetry divides the quadratic exactly in half. If one x-intercept is 8, then the other will be the same distance on the other side of it. 8 is 5 from 3 where the axis of symmetry is. So 3-5 = -2. -2 will be the other intercept.

calculate the unit rate of change for each linear function using the formula. (4,9) (8,12) (16,18) (32,30)

jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

The unit rate of change is of $\frac{3}{4}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given a set of points (x,y).

To find the unit rate of change, we take two points, and divide the change in y by the change in x.

Points (4,9) and (8,12)

Change in y: 12 - 9 = 3

Change in x: 8 - 4 = 4

Unit rate of change: $\frac{3}{4}$
