Answer:

In total there were 75 cards in Andrews collection.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 60 is 80% of the total amount of cards Andrew has. Therefore, all we have to do to find the total number of baseball cards is to divide 60 by 80 to find 1% and then multiply the result by 100 to get 100% (the total amount of cards). And so we get...

60 / 80 x 100 = 60 / 0.8 = 75

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 80% of Andrew's (former) baseball card collection is 60. Thus, We divide 60 by 80% (equal to 0.8) to obtain \frac{60}{0.8}=75.

Use Newton's method with initial approximation x1 = −2 to find x2, the second approximation to the root of the equation x3 + x +
nevsk [136]

Answer:

x_2 \approx -1.769

Step-by-step explanation:

Let f(x)=x^3+x+7

So f'(x)=3x^2+1

x_{n+1}=x_n-\frac{f(x_n)}{f'(x_n)}

Let x_1=-2

We are going to find x_2

So we are evaluating -2-\frac{f(-2)}{f'(-2)}

First step find f(-2)

Second step find f'(-2)

Third step plug in those values and apply PEMDAS!

f(-2)=(-2)^3+(-2)+7=-8-2+7=-10+7=-3

f'(-2)=3(-2)^2+1=3(4)+1=12+1=13

So

x_2=-2-\frac{-3}{13} \\\\ x_2=\frac{-26+3}{13} \\\\ x_2=\frac{-23}{13} \\\\ x_2 \approx -1.769

And it's elimination using addition and subtraction <br> x-y=1<br> x+y=3
MatroZZZ [7]
Get one x+y=3 to y=x+3 and plug it into x-y=1 and you get x-(x+3)=1. Destitute the x and solve. Once you get what x equals plug it to to either equation for the value of x and solve for y

astraxan [27]

Answer:

It will take Carrie 8 months to pay off the loan

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Determine the expression for total amount to be paid

T=m×n

where;

T=total amount to be payed

m=total payments per month

n=number of payments to be made

In our case;

T= $960

m= $120

n=unknown

replacing;

960=120×n

120 n=960

n=960/120

n=8 months

It will take Carrie 8 months to pay off the loan

Given the following system of equations: −x + y = 2 2x + 4y = 32 What action was completed to create this new equivalent system
tiny-mole [99]

Answer:

you just need to devide by 2 the second equation

Step-by-step explanation:

  • -x + y = 2 (you leave it as it is)

  • 2x + 4y =32 => 2x/2 +4y/2 = 32/2

=> x + 2y =16

we can devide or multiply in an equation by any number we want, as long as we do it to every term.

A table is in the shape of a regular pentagon with a side length of 3 feet and an
ehidna [41]

Answer:

15.5 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A)  of a regular polygon is calculated as

A = \frac{1}{2} pa ( p is the perimeter and a the apothem )

Here side of regular pentagon is 3 ft, thus

perimeter = 5 × 3 = 15, so

A = 0.5 × 15 × 2.06 ≈ 15.5 ft ( to the nearest tenth )
