Answer:

20 gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

The living room is made up of white trim and blue surface area between the walls. Since the ratio of the blue surface area between the walls to the white trim is given by 1 : 10.

Also 2 gallons of blue paints are used for the walls, let x represent the number of white paint used in gallons. Hence:

number of white paint in gallons = [1 / (1 + 10)] * total number of paints = 1 / 11 * total number of paints

2 = 1/11  * total number of paints used

total number of paints  = 22 gallons

number of white paint (x) = [10 / (1 + 10)] * total number of paints = 1 / 11 * total number of paints

x = 10/11 * 22

x = 20 gallons

Therefore 20 gallons of white paint was used

Based on its degree, what kind of polynomial is this <br><br> h(x)= -6x^3+2x-5
Lelechka [254]

Answer:

cubic polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial is \[h(x)=-6x^{3}+2x-5\]

A polynomial of degree 1 is a linear polynomial.

A polynomial of degree 2 is a quadratic polynomial.

A polynomial of degree 3 is a cubic polynomial.

In this case the exponent with the maximum value in the polynomial is 3.

Hence the degree of the polynomial h(x) is 3.

Hence the given polynomial is a cubic polynomial.

Sylvie bought 13 bagels and a container of cream cheese.Each bagel cost the same price.The cream cheese cost $2.95.Sylvie spent
Taya2010 [7]
Ok, first set this up as an equation with your given variables. You know that Sylvie bought 1 container of cream cheese, which is $2.95, and you know that Sylvie spent $7.50 <u>(my best assumption is this is the subtotal)</u><u /> on the cream cheese and 13 bagels. As an equation, it would come out as:

7.50=2.95+13(b)

To start solving the algebraic equation, wou can subtract 2.95 on both sides, resulting as 

4.55=13 (b)

Now, to get "b" by itself, you must divide 13 on both sides, resulting as

.35=b

This will answer your question as the cost of 1 bagel would be $0.35 per bagel.

in a square garden plot (with an area of 400 sq ft)deer fencing priced at $1.50 per foot is to be installed around the plot. if
mina [271]

We have a square garden of 400 square foot.

The area of a square is:

A=x^2

where x: side length.

In this case:

\begin{gathered} A=400=x^2 \\ x=\sqrt[]{400}=20\text{ ft} \end{gathered}

The perimeter of the square is the sum of the lengths of the sides of the square. As they are all equal, we can write:

P=4x=4\cdot20=80\text{ ft}

The fencing is priced at $1.50 per foot. If we add the 7% sales tax to this price we get:

C=1.50\cdot(1+0.07)=1.50\cdot1.07=1.605\text{ \$/ft}

The fencing will be installed in all the perimeter (80 ft).

We can calculate the total cost by multiplying the sales price ($1.605 per foot) and the perimeter (80 ft):

F=C\cdot P=1.605\frac{\text{\$}}{\text{ft}}\cdot80\text{ ft}=\$128.40

Answer: the fencing will cost a total of $128.40
