Answer:

The time it will take Natalie to pick the forty bushels alone is 10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The time it takes Kali to pick forty bushels of apples alone = 15 hours

The time it takes Kali and Natalie to pick forty bushels = 6 hours

The rate at which Kali picks bushels = 40/15 bushels per hour  = 8/3 bushels per hour  

Let x represents the rate at which Natalie picks bushels, we have;

8/3 × 6 + x × 6 = 40

x × 6 = 40 - 8/3 × 6 = 24

x = 24/6 = 4

Therefore;

The rate at which Natalie picks the bushels of apples = 4 bushels/hour

The time it will take Natalie to pick the forty bushels alone = (40 bushels)/(4 bushels/hour) = 10 hours.

Answer:

h(8q²-2q) = 56q² -10q

k(2q²+3q) = 16q² +31q

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Replace x in the function definition with the function's argument, then simplify.

h(x) = 7x +4q

h(8q² -2q) = 7(8q² -2q) +4q = 56q² -14q +4q = 56q² -10q

__

2. Same as the first problem.

k(x) = 8x +7q

k(2q² +3q) = 8(2q² +3q) +7q = 16q² +24q +7q = 16q² +31q

_____

Comment on the problem

In each case, the function definition says the function is not a function of q; it is only a function of x. It is h(x), not h(x, q). Thus the "q" in the function definition should be considered to be a literal not to be affected by any value x may have. It could be considered another way to write z, for example. In that case, the function would evaluate to ...

h(8q² -2q) = 56q² -14q +4z

and replacing q with some value (say, 2) would give 196+4z, a value that still has z as a separate entity.

In short, I believe the offered answers are misleading with respect to how you would treat function definitions in the real world.

4x - 5y= 5

-4x. -4x

-5y = -4x + 5

divide all by -5

y= 4/5x -1

I need help and can you explain how you got the answer because I don’t understand how to do this..
Bond [772]

Answer:

9 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula to calculate the area of a triangle is: A = bXh square units.

Therefore simply divide the area given 54 cm over base 6 cm to get the height. 54÷ 6 = 9

Hope this suffices.

Which of the following systems has an infinite number of solutions?
VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer:

C. x+y = 1 and -x-y = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

Remember that if a system of equations has an infinite number of solutions, then the resulting equation from using the first step of the elimination method would have no variables and would be true.  

1) Let's try canceling out the equations in option C, x+y =-1 and -x-y =-1. Add the two equations together. (Work shown in attached picture.)

2) All of the terms cancel out with each other, leaving only a true statement of 0 = 0. Thus, option C is the answer.
