9.80 / 20 = 0.49. Justin payed $0.49 per pound. :P
Answer:
The pentagon MNPQR has a perimeter of 22 units.
Step-by-step explanation:
Geometrically speaking, the perimeter of the pentagon is the sum of the lengths of each side, that is:
(1)
(1b)
If we know that
,
,
,
and
, then the perimeter of the pentagon MNPQR is:



The pentagon MNPQR has a perimeter of 22 units.
-4+x=9.5
x=13.5
The student might have subtracted 9.5-4, which results in the answer 5.5. The correct answer is 13.5.
Answer:
(x, y) = (-0.6, 0.8) or (1, 4)
Step-by-step explanation:
Use the second equation to substitute for y in the first.
(x -1)² +((2x +2) -2)² = 4
x -2x +1 + 4x² = 4 . . . . . . . eliminate parentheses
5x² -2x -3 = 0 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 4, collect terms
Now we can rearrange the middle term to ease factoring by grouping.
(5x² -5x) +(3x -3) = 0
5x(x -1) +3(x -1) = 0
(5x +3)(x -1) = 0
The values of x that make these factors zero are ...
x = -3/5, x = 1
The corresponding values of y are ...
y = 2(-3/5)+2 = 4/5 . . . . for x = -3/5
y = 2(1) +2 = 4 . . . . . . . . for x = 1
The solutions are: (x, y) = (-3/5, 4/5) or (1, 4).
