First how much turkey- 21 lbs or pounds.

21 subtract the amount of pounds discarded.-16 lbs or pounds remain.

     16 divided 0.8= 

Make the 0.8 a whole number.- 8

8 divided by 16= 2

Each person will get 2 pounds of turkey.

And how many people anyways?!

Answer:

The answer is 18 people who served turkey.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to determine the amount of persons who eat the turkey, we need to know the final pounds of turkey meat.

The 21 pound turkey consider 15 pound bones, so we have to subtract the bones:

21-5=16

The result is 18 pound turkey meat. Then we need to know how much the people eat each one. They eat 0.8 pounds each one.

Then we divide the remaining turkey with the before value (0.8) to know the amount of persons:

\frac{16}{0.8} \\20.00

Finally, we round the value to a real value of persons.

There were 20 people who served turkey.

Solve for x<br>6x²+2x-12​
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving for x means you have to factor. First factor out the GCF of 2 to get:

2(3x^2+x-6) and now we'll factor using the regular old method of ac and then factoring by grouping. In our polynomial, a = 3, b = 1, c = -6. Therefore, a times c is 3 * -6 which is -18. We need some combinations of the factors of 18 that will add to give us 1, the b term in the middle. The factors of 18 are:

1, 18

2, 9

3, 6 and that's it. Hm...it seems that won't work, so let's throw this into the quadratic formula, going back to the original and a = 6, b = 2 and c = -12:

x=\frac{-2+/-\sqrt{2^2-4(6)(-12)} }{2(6)} and

x=\frac{-2+/-\sqrt{4+288} }{12} and

x=\frac{-2+/-\sqrt{292} }{12} and

x=\frac{-2+/-\sqrt{4*73} }{12} and

x=\frac{-2+/-2\sqrt{73} }{12} which finally simplifies to

x=\frac{-1+/-\sqrt{73} }{6} No wonder that didn't factor using the traditional method of factoring! We could have found that out by finding first the value of the discriminant, but oh well!

You have been asked to design a rectangular box with a square base and an open top. The volume of the box must be 500cm3. Determ
babymother [125]

Answer:

x = 10 cm, y = 5 cm gives a minimum area of 300 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation:

V= x^2y = 500

Surface area A = x^2 + 4xy.

From the first equation y = 500/x^2

So substituting for y in the equation for the surface area:

A = x^2 + 4x * 500/x^2

A = x^2 + 2000/x

Finding the derivative:

dA/dx = 2x - 2000x^-2

dA/dx = 2x - 2000/x^2

This = 0 for a minimum/maximum value of A, so

2x - 2000/x^2  = 0

2x^3 - 2000 = 0

x^3 = 2000/ 2 = 1000

x = 10

Second derivative is  2 + 4000/x^3

when x = 10  this is positive so x = 10 gives a minimum value of A.

So y =  500/x^2

= 500/100

= 5.

A bag contains blue marbles and red marbles, 107 in total. The number of blue marbles is 7 more than 4 times the number of red m
Alecsey [184]

Answer: blue= 93.625

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the red ball be y

Four times of red is 4y

And blue is seven times of red which means 7(4y)

4y+7(4y)=107

Open the bracket

4y+28y=107

32y=107

y=107/32

Make y the subject of formula

y=3.34

Therefore,blue is

7(4(3.34))

Blue= 93.625

Tell whether the graph of the equation is a horizontal or a vertical line. Explain your choice.
Orlov [11]

Answer:

horizontal line

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a horizontal line parallel to the x- axis is

y = c

where c is the value of the y- coordinates the line passes through.

The equation of a vertical line parallel to the y- axis is

x = c

where c is the value of the x- coordinates the line passes through.

Hence

y = - 1 is a horizontal line passing through all points with a y- coordinate - 1
