Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the initial weight of Porky the pig.
Porky the pig weighs 1,125 lbs less than Kobe the Cow. This means that the initial weight of Kobe the cow is
x + 1125
After each gains 50lbs. Kobe the Cow will weigh ten times as much as porky the pig. This means that
(x + 1125) + 50 = 10(x + 50)
x + 1125 + 50 = 10x + 500
10x - x = 1125 + 50 - 500
9x = 675
x = 675/9
x = 75
Porky's current weight is
75 + 50 = 125 lbs
Kobe's current weight is
(75 + 1125) + 50
= 1250 lbs
Answer:
$30
Step-by-step explanation:
Calculation for the tickets that must be purchased for Carnival T and Carnival Q to be the same
Based on the information given let x be the number of ticket to be purchased .
Carnival T entrance fee= $7.00
Ride= $0.50 per ticket
Carnival Q entree fee =12.00
Ride= $0.25 per ticket
Tickets=$7.00 + ($0.50* x) = $12.00 + ($0.25* x)
.25 x = 5.00
Hence:
x=$.25+$5.00
×=$30
Therefore the amount of tickets that must be purchased in order for the total cost at Carnival T and Carnival Q to be the same will be $30
Answer:
5/32
Step-by-step explanation:
If a coin if flipped five times with four heads, then it has exactly one tail. The number of way to arrange four heads and one tail are as follows:
T H H H H
H T H H H
H H T H H
H H H T H
H H H H T
Essentially, there are five way because there are five "positions" where the tail could be.
Then, you need to find the total amount of possibilities for flipping a coin five times. Every time you flip it, there are two possibilities- heads and tails. Therefore, for five flips, the total amount of possibilities is
2x2x2x2x2 = 32
You know that
probability= # of desired outcome
----------------------------------
# of total outcomes
So the probablity is 5/32.
Answer:
x=-6 y=-1
Step-by-step explanation:
// Solve equation [2] for the variable y
[2] y = -x - 7
// Plug this in for variable y in equation [1]
[1] 3x - 2•(-x -7) = -16
[1] 5x = -30
// Solve equation [1] for the variable x
[1] 5x = - 30
[1] x = - 6
// By now we know this much :
x = -6
y = -x-7
// Use the x value to solve for y
y = -(-6)-7 = -1
Solution :
{x,y} = {-6,-1}
