Answer:

19.6

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of brown paint to white paint is, 5:7 or \frac{5}{7} so if he bought 14 gallons of white paint we need to figure out:

\frac{5}{7} =\frac{14}{x}

which we can as it only has one unknown:

5x=14×7

5x=98

x=19.6

So the answer is 19.6

5 Gallons of Brown ⇒ 7 Gallons of White

14 Gallons of Brown ⇒ x

x = 7 into 14 / 5

x = 98 / 5

x = 19.6

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

According to question, Lynn works as a part-time vendor selling necklaces for $15 each and bangles for $10 each. She needs to earn a minimum of $300 per week to cover her expenses. The inequality for above scenario will be :

15x + 10y\geq 300 where, x is number of necklaces & y is number of bangles.

A.

Lynn will meet her goal if she sells 12 bangles and 12 necklaces. i.e. x=12 and y=12 , putting values inequality : 15(12) + 10(12)  = 300 which follows inequality . True statement!

B.

Lynn will meet her goal if she sells 20 bangles and 6 necklaces.

putting values inequality : 15(6) + 10(20) = 290 which follows inequality . True statement!

C.

Lynn will meet her goal if she sells 6 bangles and 12 necklaces. putting values inequality : 15(12) + 10(6) = 240, which follows inequality . True statement!

A homeowner is installing a swimming pool in his backyard. he want its length to be 4 feet longer than its width. then he wants
marishachu [46]
1. You have that:

 - The homeowner<span> want the length of the swimming pool to be 4 feet longer than its width.</span> 
 - He wants to surround it with a concrete walkway 3 feet wide.
 - He can only afford 300 square feet of concrete for the walkway.

 2. Therefore, the tota area is:

 At=L2xW2

 L2 is the lenght of the walkway (L2=L1+3+3⇒L2=(W1+4+6)⇒L2=W1+10).
 W2 is the width of the walkway (W1+3+3⇒W2=W1+6)

 3. The area of the walkway is:

 A2=At-A1

 A2=300 ft²

 4. Therefore, you have that the width of the swimming pool is:

 A2=(W1+10)(W1+6)-(W1+4)(W1)
 300=(W1²+6W1+10W1+60)-(W1²+4W1)
 W1²+16W1+60-W1²-4W1-300=0
 12W1-240=0
 W1=240/12
 W1=20 ft

 5. And the length is:

 L1=W1+4
 L1=20+4
 L1=24 ft

A line with a slope of 4 passes through<br> the point (2, 1). What is the equation of<br> this line?
mariarad [96]

Answer:

y = 4x - 7

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope = 4 ; x1 = 2 , y1 = 1

Slope point form: y -y1 = m(x -x1)

y - 1 = 4(x - 2)

y - 1 = 4x - 2*4

y -1 = 4x - 8

   y = 4x - 8 +1

  y = 4x - 7
