Answer:

84 books were taken to the market.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's turn the word problem into algebra.

We can rewrite 3:4 as 3x:4x since we don't know the actual individual numbers, solely that it is divisible by these numbers.

Next, since we know 3x = 36 because of the question, we can solve for x using the division property of equality and get x=12. Once we have x=12 we can find the number of books the other trader has - 4x - by simply multiplying 12 by 4 to get 48 books. Now all we need to do is find the total number of books that both traders have and to do this all we need to do is add 36 to 48 to get a final answer of 84 books.

Two boats depart from a port located at (–8, 1) in a coordinate system measured in kilometers and travel in a positive x-directi

miss Akunina [59]

Answer:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.$

Step-by-step explanation:

1st boat:

Parabola equation:

$y=ax^2 +bx+c$

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=1\\ \\b=-2a$

Equation:

$y=ax^2 -2ax+c$

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

$y_v=a\cdot 1^2-2a\cdot 1+c\Rightarrow a-2a+c=10\\ \\c-a=10$

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

$1=a\cdot (-8)^2-2a\cdot (-8)+c\\ \\80a+c=1$

Solve:

$c=10+a\\ \\80a+10+a=1\\ \\81a=-9\\ \\a=-\dfrac{1}{9}\\ \\b=-2a=\dfrac{2}{9}\\ \\c=10-\dfrac{1}{9}=\dfrac{89}{9}$

Parabola equation:

$y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}$

2nd boat:

Parabola equation:

$y=ax^2 +bx+c$

The x-coordinate of the vertex:

$x_v=-\dfrac{b}{2a}\Rightarrow -\dfrac{b}{2a}=0\\ \\b=0$

Equation:

$y=ax^2+c$

The y-coordinate of the vertex:

$y_v=a\cdot 0^2+c\Rightarrow c=-7$

Parabola passes through the point (-8,1), so

$1=a\cdot (-8)^2-7\\ \\64a-7=1$

Solve:

$a=-\dfrac{1}{8}\\ \\b=0\\ \\c=-7$

Parabola equation:

$y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7$

System of two equations:

$\left\{\begin{array}{l}y=-\dfrac{1}{9}x^2 +\dfrac{2}{9}x+\dfrac{89}{9}\\ \\y=\dfrac{1}{8}x^2 -7\end{array}\right.$

Answer:

-4n - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Convert words into an expression

11 less than the product of a number and -4

(n * -4) - 11

<em>-4n - 11</em>

<em />

Answer: -4n - 11

<u>If needed solve</u>

-4n - 11 + 11 = 0 + 11

-4n / -4 = 11 / -4

<em>n = -2.75</em>
