Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let a = number of pieces of chocolate bought by Amin.

Let b = number of pieces of chocolate bought by Bob.

b = 2a

(a - 3)(b - 3) = 14

ab - 3a - 3b + 9 = 14

a(2a) - 3a - 3(2a) = 5

2a^2 - 3a - 6a = 5

2a^2 - 9a - 5 = 0

(2a + 1)(a - 5) = 0

2a + 1 = 0 or a - 5 = 0

a = -1/2 or a = 5

Amin cannot have bought -1/2 pieces of chocolate, so we discard the soluion a = -1/2.

a = 5

Answer: 5

John can type 45 words per min (45/min) he has to type a report for Mrs. Ramey that must be 2700 words. How many hours will it t

Sav [38]

Answer:

It will take 1 hour to type the report.

Step-by-step explanation:

The time that will take to John to type the report is:

$\frac{1 min}{45 w}*2700 w = 60 min$

Since we have 60 minutes in 1 hour, the time in hours is:

$\frac{1 h}{60 min}*60min = 1 h$

Therefore, it will take 1 hour to type the report.

I hope it helps you!

The correct answers are:

The ordered pair (7, 19) is a solution to the first equation because it makes the first equation true.

The ordered pair (7, 19) is not a solution to the system because it makes at least one of the equations false.

Further explanation:

Given equations are:

2x-y = -5

x+3y = 22

We have to check whether the given statements are true or not. In order to find that we have to put the points in the equations

Putting the point in 2x-y = -5

$2x - y = -5\\2(7) -19 = -5\\14-19 = -5\\-5 = -5$

Putting the point in x+3y=22

$7 + 3 (19) = 22\\7 + 57 = 22\\64 \neq 22$

The point satisfies the first equation but doesn't satisfy the second. So,

1. The ordered pair (7, 19) is a solution to the first equation because it makes the first equation true.

This statement is true as the point satisfies the first equation

2. The ordered pair (7, 19) is a solution to the second equation because it makes the second equation true.

This Statement is false.

3. The ordered pair (7, 19) is not a solution to the system because it makes at least one of the equations false.

This statement is true.

4. The ordered pair (7, 19) is a solution to the system because it makes both equations true.

This statement is false as the ordered pair doesn't satisfy both equations.

Passes through (1,12) and has a vertex (10,-4)

agasfer [191]

Answer: 16/81 (x-10)^2 -4

Step-by-step explanation:

To write a vertex equation with just a point and the vertex, you have to figure out the variables.

In vertex form, the equation is y = a (x-h)^2 + k

Your y is 12, x = 1, h = 10, and k = -4

Plug everything into equation

12 = a (1 - 10)^2 -4

12 = a (-9)^2 - 4

12 = 81a - 4

16 = 81a

16/81 = a

Now you know what the 'a' value is.

If you graph 16/81 (x-10)^2 -4 , you will get a point at (1,12) and a vertex of (10,-4)!

I hope this helps!
