Answer:

Equations:

y =  14 + 9 x --- Cindy

y = 10 x --- Ruben

Solution to equation:

Time they have the same amount: 14 minutes

Number of cards they have at that time: 140 flashcards

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving (a): Variables and what they represent

The variables to use are x and y

Where x represent the minutes and y represents the number of flashcards in x minutes

Solving (b): System of linear equation

Cindy:

Existing\ Flashcards = 14

Additional = 9 per minute

Total number of flashcards (y) in x minutes is:

y =  Existing\ Flashcards + Additional * x

y =  14 + 9 * x

y =  14 + 9 x

Ruben:

Rate = 10 per minute

Total number of flashcards (y) in x minutes is:

y = Rate * x

y = 10 * x

y = 10 x

Solution to Equations:

Time they have the same amount.

To do this, we equate both expressions

i.e.

10x = 14 + 9x

Collect Like Terms

10x - 9x = 14

x = 14

Number of cards they have at that time.

Here, we simply substitute 14 for x in any of the equations.

y = 10 x

y = 10 * 14

y = 140

or

y =  14 + 9 x

y = 14 + 9 * 14

y = 14 + 126

y = 140

Answer:

   (a)  34 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The "top" and "back" together have a height of 2 ft + 1 1/2 ft = 3 1/2 ft. The bottom and front will have the same height, so the central vertical rectangle in the net will have a height of 2×(3 1/2 ft) = 7 ft. It is shown as having a width of 4 ft, so its area is ...

  A = WH = (4 ft)(7 ft) = 28 ft²

__

The two areas labeled "left" and "right" are shown as having a height of 1 1/2 ft. Their width is the same as the width of the bottom (or top), so is 2 ft. The total area of the left and right sides is then ...

  left + right = 2WH = 2(2 ft)(1 1/2 ft) = 6 ft²

That makes the area of the entire net be ...

  total surface area = 28 ft² +6 ft² = 34 ft²

The surface area of the box is 34 square feet.

Find the product and explain the process and reasoning step by step <br><br> $0.79 × 3.7 =
andrezito [222]

The units of the first number are "dollars." The second number has no apparent units, so we'll consider it a "pure number". This means the product will have the units of "dollars."

The two numbers together have 2+1=3 digits to the right of the decimal point(s). This means the final product will have 3 digits to the right of the decimal point. Since one of the factors is "dollars," it seems likely the result will need to be rounded to cents (2 decimal places). We'll provide the answer both ways (with 3 and with 2 decimal places.)

With these preliminaries out of the way, we have the problem of multiplying

... 79 × 37

There are numerous methods taught for finding this product. In the end, they all amount to multiplying every digit in one number by every digit in the other number and adding the results with appropriate place values. Several methods use 2-dimensional tables or arrays in their process. Here, we will use text on a line.

... 79 × 37 = (70 +9) × (30 +7)

... = 70×30 + 9×30 + 70×7 + 9×7

... = 2100 + 270 +490 + 63

... = 2100 +760 +63

... = 2860 +63

... = 2923

Putting the decimal point 3 places from the right, and adding the dollar sign gives our product:

... $0.79 × 3.7 = $2.923 ≈ $2.92
