Looking at this problem in terms of geometry makes it easier than trying to think of it algebraically.
If you want the largest possible x+y, it's equivalent to finding a rectangle with width x and length y that has the largest perimeter.
If you want the smallest possible x+y, it's equivalent to finding the rectangle with the smallest perimeter.
However, the area x*y must be constant and = 100.
We know that a square has the smallest perimeter to area ratio. This means that the smallest perimeter rectangle with area 100 is a square with side length 10. For this square, x+y = 20.
We also know that the further the rectangle stretches, the larger its perimeter to area ratio becomes. This means that a rectangle with side lengths 100 and 1 with an area of 100 has the largest perimeter. For this rectangle, x+y = 101.
So, the difference between the max and min values of x+y = 101 - 20 = 81.
Answer:
The cost of dinner alone was $37.145
Step-by-step explanation:
15%=0.15----Convert your percentage into a decimal
43.70*0.15=6.555----Multiply the cost of dinner with the decimal
$43.70-$6.555=$37.145----Subtract the last number(6.555) from the total(43.70) to get the cost of dinner alone of $37.145 -This is making you subtract the percentage from the total!
I hope this helped!
Step-by-step explanation:
"Solutions to the equation" just means that they are points on the line. To find out if these two points land on this line, plug each one in, like this:
1.5 = (1/4)(1) + (5/4)
1.5 = (1/4) + (5/4)
1.5 = (6/4)
1.5 = 1.5
Since the expression is true, this point is on the line.
Do the same process for the second point (remember a point is formatted (x,y)) and see if it is also a point on the line.
To find the x-intercept, simply plug in 0 for y and see what you get. It should look like (x,0).
An additive inverse is the value you can add to a given value such that the sum is "0"..
Your answer is choice A
18xy + (-18xy) = 0 Since these are like terms.. the key here is understanding that like terms must have the same exact variables raised to the exact same powers. We can add like terms. We cannot add unlike terms.
