0.19 for one cookie and 0.59 for one doughnut

x for how much one cookie costs and y for how much one doughnut costs
6x+4y=3.5
12x+5y=5.23

solve by substitution: (elimination would work too)
4y=3.5-6x
y=0.875-1.5x
12x+5(0.875-1.5x)=5.23
12x+4.375x-7.5x=5.23
4.5x=0.855
x=0.19
now use x to solve for y:
6(0.19)+4y=3.5
1.14+4y=3.5
2.36=4y
y=0.59

Check the work: 6(0.19)+4(0.59)=3.5

Triangle PQR where P(1,4), Q(-3,-4),R(7,k) is right-angled at Q. find the value of k
NikAS [45]

Answer:

k = -9.

Step-by-step explanation:

As the triangle is right-angled at Q, by Pythagoras:

PR^2 = PQ^2 + RQ^2

So, substituting the given data and using the distance formula between 2 points:

(7 - 1)^2 + (k - 4)^2 =  (-4-4)^2 + (-3-1)^2 + (7 - (-3))^2 + (k - (-4))^2

36 + (k - 4)^2 = 64 + 16 + 100 + ( k + 4)^2

(k - 4)^2 - (k + 4)^2 = 180 - 36

k^2 - 8k + 16 - (k^2 + 8k + 16) = 144

-16k = 144

k = -9.

Graph the six terms of a finite series where a1 = −3 and r = 1.5.
s344n2d4d5 [400]
We are given the first term and the common ratio, this means they belong to a geometric series.

For the given series:

a_{1}=-3 \\ &#10;r=1.5

Each term of the geometric series is obtained by multiplying the previous term by common ratio.

So the next terms will be:

-4.5, -6.75, -10.125, -15.1875, -22.78125

The general formula for the G.P would be:

a_{n}=-3(1.5)^{n-1}

On plotting the series, the result will be like this:

My question is
Eduardwww [97]
So 2 gallons every 5 minutes
2/5= .4
so .4 a minute
and you already have 5 gallons in so those need to be added
m=minutes
y=0.4m + 5 will be what you want to find out if you are looking to find out how much will be there in a certain time
for 50 minutes you will have
y=0.4(50) +5 
20+5
25 gallons
HOWEVER, the equation has to be changed if you want to tell how long you have to wait for it to fill.
m=2.5(g-5)
m=minutes
g= gallons
you subtract 5 because they are already there
you multiply by 2.5 because it fills at a rate of 1 gallon every 2.5 minutes.
m=2.5(1500-5)
for the sake of it being easier i will do the -5 separately
2.5(1500 = 3750
2.5(-5= -12.5
3750-12.5
3737.5 minutes to fill the pool.
3720/60 = 62
17.5/60 = .292
62.292 hours to fill the pool.
p.s. you have a really slow hose.
Its good you didn't wait for it to fill, you would have died from lack of water before then if you just sat and waited.
