9514 1404 393

Answer:

  9

Step-by-step explanation:

If x is the number of 10-inch stones, then (x-1) is the number of 5-inch stones, and the total width is ...

  10x +5(x-1) = 130

  15x -5 = 130 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  15x = 135 . . . . . . add 5

  x = 9 . . . . . . . divide by 15

Wesley will need 9 10-inch stones for one row.

Please help me out with this
olga_2 [115]

Answer:

10.4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume (V) of a pyramid is calculated using

V = \frac{1}{3} area of base × height (h)

area of square base = 6² = 36, thus

\frac{1}{3} × 36h = 120

12h = 120 ( divide both sides by 12 )

h = 10 cm

To find the slant height (s) consider the right triangle from the vertex to the midpoint of the base and from the midpoint of base to the side.

That is a right triangle with hypotenuse s and legs 10(h) and 3 (midpoint of the base )

Using Pythagoras' identity then

s² = 10² + 3² = 100 + 9 = 109

Take the square root of both sides

s = \sqrt{109} ≈ 10.4 cm

Maria and Katy each have a piece of string. When they put the two pieces of string together end to end, the total length is 84in
Serga [27]

Answer: the length of Maria's piece of string is 45 inches.

the length of Katy's piece of string is 39 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the length of Maria's piece of string.

Let y represent the length of Katy's piece of string.

When they put the two pieces of string together end to end, the total length is 84inches. This means that

x + y = 84 - - - - - - - - - - - -1

Maria's string is 6 inches longer than Katy's. This means that

x = y + 6

Substituting x = y + 6 into equation 1, it becomes

y + 6 + y = 84

2y + 6 = 84

2y = 84 - 6 = 78

y = 78/2 = 39

x = y + 6 = 39 + 6

x = 45

Write the equation of the line that passes through the point (-2, 7) and is PARALLEL to the line y = -4x + 1.​
qwelly [4]

Answer:

The equation is y=x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

If we want a line parallel to the line in the problem it will have the same slope. The equation given in the problem is already in slope intercept form so we can take the slope for the new equation directly from this equation.

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is:  y=mx+b

Where  m  is the slope and  b  is the y-intercept value.  

y=1x-2

Therefore the slope is  

m=1

We can now use the point-slope formula to write the equation of the parallel line:

The point-slope formula states:  

(y-y1)=m(x-x1)

Where  m  is the slope and  (x1,y1) is a point the line passes through.  

Substituting the information from the problem gives:

(y- (-7)=1(x-2)

(y+7)=1(x-2)

Or, we can solve for  y  to put the equation in slope-intercept form:

y+7=x-2

y+7-7=x-2-7

y+0=x-9

y=x-9
