Answer:

McDonald’s Quarter Pounders = 67 mg of cholesterol

Burger King Whoppers = 87 of cholesterol

Step-by-step explanation:

McDonald’s Quarter Pounders = m

Burger King Whoppers = b

2m + 3b = 395

3m + 1b = 288

3m + b = 288

b = -3m + 288

2m + 3b = 395

2m + 3(-3m + 288) = 395

2m - 9m + 864 = 395

- 7m + 864 = 395

- 7m/7 = -469/7

-m = -67

-m/-1 = -67/-1

m = 67

2m + 3b = 395

2(67) + 3b = 395

134 + 3b = 395

3b = 395 - 134

3b = 261

3b/3 = 261/3

b = 87

Check: m = 67; b = 87

2m + 3b = 395

3m + 1b = 288

2m + 3b = 395

2(67) + 3(87) = 395

134 + 261 = 395

395 = 395

3m + 1b = 288

3(67) + 1(87) = 288

201 + 87 = 288

288 = 288

Joe's annual income has been increasing each year by the same dollar amount. The first year his income was $17 comma 90017,900

Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

In 17th year, his income was $30,700.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the income has been increasing each year by the same dollar amount. It means it is linear function.

Income in first year = $17,900

Income in 4th year = $20,300

Let y be the income at x year.

It means the line passes through the point (1,17900) and (4,20300).

If a line passes through two points $(x_1,y_1)$ and $(x_2,y_2)$ , then the equation of line is

$y-y_1=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}(x-x_1)$

The equation of line is

$y-17900=\frac{20300-17900}{4-1}(x-1)$

$y-17900=\frac{2400}{3}(x-1)$

$y-17900=800(x-1)$

$y-17900=800x-800$

Add 17900 on both sides.

$y=800x-800+17900$

$y=800x+17100$

The income equation is y=800x+17100.

Substitute y=30,700 in the above equation.

$30700=800x+17100$

Subtract 17100 from both sides.

$30700-17100=800x$

$13600=800x$

Divide both sides by 800.

$\frac{13600}{800}=x$

$17=x$

Therefore, in 17th year his income was $30,700.

The circumference of the ellipse approximate. Which equation is the result of solving the formula of the circumference for b?

Serhud [2]

Answer:

$b = \sqrt{\frac{C^{2} }{2(\pi )^{2} } - a^{2}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given - The circumference of the ellipse approximated by $C = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} }{2} }$ where 2a and 2b are the lengths of 2 the axes of the ellipse.

To find - Which equation is the result of solving the formula of the circumference for b ?

Solution -

$C = 2\pi \sqrt{\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} }{2} }\\\frac{C}{2\pi } = \sqrt{\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} }{2} }$

Squaring Both sides, we get

$[\frac{C}{2\pi }]^{2} = [\sqrt{\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} }{2} }]^{2} \\\frac{C^{2} }{(2\pi)^{2} } = {\frac{a^{2} + b^{2} }{2} }\\2\frac{C^{2} }{4(\pi)^{2} } = {{a^{2} + b^{2} }$

$\frac{C^{2} }{2(\pi )^{2} } = a^{2} + b^{2} \\\frac{C^{2} }{2(\pi )^{2} } - a^{2} = b^{2} \\\sqrt{\frac{C^{2} }{2(\pi )^{2} } - a^{2}} = b$

∴ we get

$b = \sqrt{\frac{C^{2} }{2(\pi )^{2} } - a^{2}}$

Which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions? A. 5⁄6 and 10⁄12 B. 3⁄2 and 2⁄3 C. 3 1⁄2 and 4 4⁄4 D. 6⁄7 and 1

ElenaW [278]

<h2>Hello!</h2>

The answers are:

A.

$\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{10}{12}$

D.

$\frac{6}{7}$ and $1\frac{5}{7}$

<h2>Why?</h2>

To find which of the following pairs of numbers contains like fractions, we must remember that like fractions are the fractions that share the same denominator.

We are given two fractions that are like fractions. Those fractions are:

Option A.

$\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{10}{12}$

We have that:

$\frac{10}{12}=\frac{5}{6}$

So, we have that the pairs of numbers

$\frac{5}{6}$

and

$\frac{5}{6}$

Share the same denominator, which is equal to 6, so, the pairs of numbers contains like fractions.

Option D.

$\frac{6}{7}$ and $1\frac{5}{7}$

We have that:

$1\frac{5}{7}=1+\frac{5}{7}=\frac{7+5}{7}=\frac{12}{7}$

So, we have that the pair of numbers

$\frac{6}{7}$

and

$\frac{12}{7}$

Share the same denominator, which is equal to 7, so, the pairs of numbers constains like fractions.

Also, we have that the other given options are not like fractions since both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator.

The other options are:

$\frac{3}{2},\frac{2}{3}$

and

$3\frac{1}{2},4\frac{4}{4}$

We can see that both pairs of numbers do not share the same denominator so, they do not contain like fractions.

Hence, the answers are:

A.

$\frac{5}{6}$ and $\frac{10}{12}$

D.

$\frac{6}{7}$ and $1\frac{5}{7}$

Have a nice day!
