Answer:

Tom's share = €800

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Amount shared by Al, Tom and Joe = €3000

Ratio of Al's share to Tom's share = 5 : 4

Joe's share = 1.5(Tom's share) = 1.5(4) = 6

Therefore,

Ratio of Al, Tom and Joe = 5 : 4 : 6

Let,

x be the number of times of amount each get.

5x + 4x + 6x = 3000

15x = 3000

Dividing both sides by 15

$\frac{15x}{15}=\frac{3000}{15}\\x=200$

Tom's share = 4x = 4(200) = €800

Hence,

Tom's share = €800

Write an equation in the variables x and y for the line that passes through the point (4, 7) and that is perpendicular to the li

Brrunno [24]

First of all, we need to find the slope of the given line, writing it in the $y=mx+q$ form and reading the $m$ coefficient:

$2x + 2y = 14 \iff 2y = -2x + 14 \iff y = -x+7$

So, the slope is $-1$

If a line with slope $m'$ is perpendicular to a line with slope $m$ , the following relationship holds:

$mm' = -1$

So, the slope of our line must satisfy

$m(-1) = -1 \iff m=1$

So, we need the equation of a line with slope 1 and passing through (4,7). Given the slope $m$ and a point $(x_0,y_0)$ of a given line, its equation is given by

$y-y_0 = m(x-x_0)$

So, if you plug your values, you have

$y-7=1\cdot(x-4) \iff y = x+3$

A commuter railway has 800 passengers a day and charges each one 2 dollars. ?

Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

I= -20p^2 + 840p

Step-by-step explanation:

When the ticket price is $2 there are 800 passengers daily, but every $0.1 increase in ticket price the number of passengers will be decreased by 2.

You can put information into these equations of:

passenger- = (800-2x)

ticket price= p = $2 + 0.1x

Income is calculated by multiplying the number of the passenger with the ticket price. The answer will be expressed in terms of the ticket price, so we need to remove x from the passenger equation.

p= $2 +0.1x

p-$2 = 0.1x

x= 10p- $20

If p= ticket price, the function for the number of passengers it will be:

passenger = (800-2x)

passenger = 800- 2(10p- $20)

passenger =800- 20p+40

passenger =840- 20p

The function of I will be:

I= passenger x ticket price

I= 840- 20p * p

I= -20p^2 + 840p

The perimeter of a square shaped garden is (16x+20) feet. Write an expression to represent the length of one side of the garden.

expeople1 [14]

4x+5 feet

A square has 4 sides, and all of them are the same size. Because of this, you divide the whole expression by 4, and you’re left with 4x+5.

16x/4=4x
20/4=5
