Answer:

He can build ...

... min(floor((available wood)/(wood per chair)), floor((available glue)/(glue per chair)))

... = min(floor(6/4), floor(12/6))

... = min(1, 2) = 1

The carpenter can build ...

... e. one chair

What number do we use to replace the (a) a-(-19)= -12

Lena [83]

Answer:

-31

Step-by-step explanation:

We write the equation out

$a-(-19)=-12$

Distribute the -1

$a+19=-12$

Subtract the 19 on both sides

$a=-31$

Triangle X Y Z is shown. The length of side X Y is (9 n + 12) feet and the length of side X Z is (15 n minus 6) feet. Angles X Y

zmey [24]

Answer:

$n = 3$

$XY = 39$

$XZ = 39$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$XY = 9n + 12$

$XZ = 15n - 6$

Solving (a): n

To solve for n;

We make use of

$XY = XZ$

Substitute values for XY and XZ

$9n + 12 = 15n - 6$

$9n - 15n = -12 - 6$

$-6n = -18$

Divide through by -6

$n = 3$

Solving (b) XY

$XY = 9n + 12$

Substitute 3 for n

$XY = 9 * 3 + 12$

$XY = 27 + 12$

$XY = 39$

Solving (c): XZ

$XZ = XY$

$XZ = 39$

-8=-(x+4). Please help I don't know the answer or steps to solve this equation.

Ne4ueva [31]

Answer:

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

First u need to distribute the -1 to (x + 4), creating the equation, -8 = -x - 4. Then add the -4 to both sides, and you get, -4 = -x. Then divide by -1 to both sides, and x = 4.

Two consecutive perfect squares have a difference of $99$. what is the value of the larger perfect square?

Fofino [41]

Answer:

2500

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first square number be $x^2$ then the next square number is $(x+1)^2$ .

The difference between these two consecutive numbers is 99.

This implies that:

$(x+1)^2-x^2=99$

We expand to get:

$x^2+2x+1-x^2=99$

Simplify:

$2x=99-1$

$2x=98$

Divide both sides by 2

$x=49$

Therefore the value of the larger perfect number is

$(49+1)^2=50^2=2500$ .

14.3p – 32.24 = 127.92 14.3p – 32.24 + 32.24 = 127.92 + 32.24 14.3p = 160.16 StartFraction 14.3 p Over 14.3 EndFraction equals S

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

p = 11.2

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Data provided in the question

2.6(5.5p – 12.4) = 127.92

Now

Distributive Propertyis

14.3p - 32.24 = 127.92

Addition Property is

14.3p = 127.92 + 32.24

Division Property is

14.3p ÷ 14.3 = 160.16 ÷ 14.3

p = 11.2

We simply find the value of p by applying the distributive property, addition property, and the division property and the same is to be considered
