Answer:
x = 10 and y = 7
Step-by-step explanation:
Equalateral triangle means all sides are equal.
x = 10, easy
make y + 3 = 10
y = 7
Easy, no real math needed. lol
B is the answer because none of the others will be right and b is the one you should always do when to solve a rea word problem
Answer:
d. converges, -25
Step-by-step explanation:
An infinite geometric series converges if the absolute value of the common ratio is less than 1.
Here, the common ratio is 4/5:
| 4/5 | = 4/5 < 1
So the series converges. The sum of an infinite geometric series is:
S = a₁ / (1 − r)
where a₁ is the first term and r is the common ratio.
Here, a₁ = -5 and r = 4/5:
S = -5 / (1 − 4/5)
S = -25
Answer:
y = 0.1x+200
Step-by-step explanation:
First, let's establish that:
x is independent
y is dependent
Basically, the value of y will depend on what x is.
The problem states that the slope of the line is Dave's comission, so since he makes 10% of comission, we can make the slope as 0.1x (mx)
The problem also states that the y intercept (b) is Dave's base salary, and earlier in the problem it states that his base salary is $200 a week. Therefore, b=200
now, the equation is:
y=0.1x+200
Hope this helps!
Answer: <u>4 pounds</u> of brand X sugar
====================================================
Reason:
n = number of pounds of brand X sugar
5n = cost of buying those n pounds, at $5 per pound
Brand Y costs $2 per pound, and you buy 8 lbs of it, so that's another 2*8 = 16 dollars.
5n+16 = total cost of brand X and brand Y combined
n+8 = total amount of sugar bought, in pounds
3(n+8) = total cost because we buy n+8 pounds at $3 per pound
The 5n+16 and 3(n+8) represent the same total cost.
Set them equal to each other. Solve for n.
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5n+16 = 3n+24
5n-3n = 24-16
2n = 8
n = 8/2
n = 4 pounds of brand X sugar are needed
-------------
Check:
n = 4
5n = 5*4 = 20 dollars spent on brand X alone
16 dollars spent on brand Y mentioned earlier
20+16 = 36 dollars spent total
n+8 = 4+8 = 12 pounds of both types of sugar brands combined
3*12 = 36 dollars spent on both types of sugar brands
The answer is confirmed.
--------------
Another way to verify:
5n+16 = 3(n+8)
5*4+16 = 3(4+8)
20+16 = 3(12)
36 = 36
