Answer:

75miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the location of Asheville, B be the location of Boulder and W be the location of wellspring.

If well spring is located exactly halfway between Asheville and Boulder, then;

AW + WB = AB

If Asheville and Boulder are 2.5 inches apart on a map, then AB = 2.5 inches

The actual distance from wellspring to Boulder is WB

Since W is the midpoint of A and B, then AW = WB. The equation becomes;

WB + WB = AB

2WB = AB

WB = AB.2

WB = 2.5/2

WB = 1.25 inches

Hence the distance from wellspring to Boulder is 1.25inches.

Since  0.5 inches = 15 miles on the map,

1.25inches = x

Cross multiply;

0.5x = 15 * 1.25

0.5x = 18.75

x = 18.75/1.25

x = 75miles

Hence the actual distance from wellspring to Boulder is 75miles

Can someone show me the workings out to both questions please
tresset_1 [31]
Solve the inequality , find the max possible value for the variable.

3t + 1 < t + 12

2t < 11

t < 5.5

t_max = 5.5 

For the second question just solve as two separate inequalities

4 +2 < x <= 7 + 2

6 <x <= 9

x in ]6, 9]

Deluxe River Cruises operates a fleet of river vessels. The fleet has two types of vessels: A type-A vessel has 60 deluxe cabins
bixtya [17]

Answer: It should be used 2 for type-A and 3 for type-B to minimize the cost.

Step-by-step explanation: As it is stipulated, <u>x</u> relates to type-A and y to type-B.

Type-A has 60 deluxe cabins and B has 80. It is needed a minimum of 360 deluxe cabins, so:

60x + 80y ≤ 360

For the standard cabin, there are in A 160 and in B 120. The need is for 680, so:

160x + 120y ≤ 680

To calculate how many of each type you need:

60x + 80y ≤ 360

160x + 120y ≤ 680

Isolating x from the first equation:

x = \frac{360 - 80y}{60}

Substituing x into the second equation:

160(\frac{360 - 80y}{60}) + 120y = 680

-3200y+1800y = 10200 - 14400

1400y = 4200

y = 3

With y, find x:

x = \frac{360 - 80y}{60}

x = \frac{360 - 80.3}{60}

x = 2

To determine the cost:

cost = 42,000x + 51,000y

cost = 42000.2 + 51000.3

cost = 161400

To keep it in a minimun cost, it is needed 2 vessels of Type-A and 3 vessels of Type-B, to a cost of $161400
