Answer:

AB = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

A is between B and C. If BC= 8x + 5, AB= 2x + 4, and AC= 3x + 7, then find AB

Step 1

Find x

BC = AB + AC

8x + 5 = 2x + 4 + 3x + 7

Collect like terms

8x - 2x - 3x = +4 + 7 - 5

3x = 6

x = 2

Step 2

Find AB

= AB= 2x + 4

AB = 2(2) + 4

AB = 4 + 4

AB = 8

Rina is making a nut mixture to sell at the local farmers' market. She mixes 6 pounds of pecans with a nut mixture that is 70% p

Marat540 [252]

So the best way to do these is concentration1 (%) × volume1 = concentration2 × volume2
Or C1V1 + C2V2 = C3V3, where C1 = 100% (bc ALL pecans), V1 = 6 lbs, C2 = 70%, C3 = 82%:
100%×6 + 70%×v2 = 82%×(6+v2)
100%=1.00, 70%=.7, 82%=.82
note: if none is poured out then v3 = v1+v2
6 + .7v2 = .82 (6+v2)
6 + .7v2 = 4.92 + .82v2
6 + .7v2 -.7v2 = 4.92 + .82v2 -.7v2
6 = 4.92 + .12v2
6-4.92 = 4.92-4.92 + .12v2
1.08 = .12v2
.12v2/.12 = 1.08/.12
v2 = 9 lbs
that's only v2!!!

For the final poundage, we need v3:

v3 = 6 + v2 = 6 + 9 = 15 lbs

Scott and Harry went cycling every day. They increased the number of minutes of cycling every week as described below:

djyliett [7]

Answer:

(A)

Step-by-step explanation:

Scott cycled for 10 minutes in first week, 15 minutes in second week,20 minutes in third week and 25 minutes in the fourth week which maintains a consistency in the line as there is consistent slope when drawn on a graph.

On, the other hand, harry cycled for 10 minutes in first week, 20 minutes in second, 40 minutes in third and 80 minutes in fourth week in which there is no consistency in the timings according to the weeks. Therefore, only, scott's method is linear as the number of minutes increased by an equal factor every week.
