Answer: I got -1, I honest don’t know if i was doing it right so here is my explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

I distributed 2(4x-5)

5x+3x=20x-10-2

Sub 3x for 20x

5x=17x-10-2

Sub -10-2

5x=17x-12

Sub 5x-17x

12x=-12

Divide

Equals -1

A bean plant grows at a constant rate for a month. After 10 days, the plant is 25 centimeters tall. After 20 days, the plant is
wariber [46]
Y = 2x + 5

If you take the height at 10 days, 25 centimeters, after 10 more days the height is 45 centimeters, meaning for those 10 extra days the been plant grown 20 centimeters. Since we're told the plant is growing at a constant rate, this shows the bean plant is growing 2 centimeters per day. We can represent this with y = 2x. (After 10 days, the bean plant will be 20 centimeters, after 20 days, the bean plant will be 40 centimeters, etc.)

However, this is not completely true yet. As you can see, after the first 10 days the plant is not 20 centimeter, it's 25 centimeters. We already know the rate in which the plant is changing, but now we need to find the height that the plant was originally, before it started growing.

After the first 10 days, the plant is 25 centimeters tall. Since we know that the plant is growing 2 centimeters per day, we can subtract 20 from 25 to find the original height of the bean plant.

25 - 20 = 5
The bean plant was originally 5 centimeters.

This makes our final equation y = 2x + 5.
2x is the slope, and 5 is the y intercept.

Vernon's work for finding the value of x is shown below. Lines A C and B D intersect at point E. Angle A E D is (16 x + 8) degre
Marta_Voda [28]

Answer:

<em>No, he should have set the sum of ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to 180°, rather then setting ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to each other</em>

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the diagram attached

If line AC and BD intersects, then m<AED + m<DEC = 180 (sum of angle on a straight line is 180 degrees)

Given

m<AED = 16x+8

m<DEC = 76 degrees

16x + 8 + 76 = 180

16x + 84 = 180

16x = 180-84

16x = 96

x = 96/16

x = 6

Hence the value of x is 6

Hence the correct option is <em>No, he should have set the sum of ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to 180°, rather then setting ∠AED and ∠DEC equal to each other</em>

A producer is said to have an absolute advantage over another producer when he required less amount of input to produce the same good compared to the other producer.

While a producer is said to have a comparative advantage over another producer when he produces his goods at a lesser opportunity cost compared to the other produer.

Here, time is one of the inputs used in production and Maria produces a scarf at a lesser time compared to Sofia. Thus, Maria has an absolute advantage over Maria in the production of scarves.

Therefore, the true statement is "<span>Maria has an absolute advantage over Sofia".</span>
