Answer: $30

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the amount paid to water the yard be represented by x.

Since her mother pays her twice as much to mow the yard as she does to water the yard. Therefore, the amount to mow the yard would be 2x.

Therefore,

2x + x = $45

3x = $45

x = $15

The amount to mow the front yard would be:

= $15 × 2

= $30

Which of the following reveals the minimum value for the equation 2x^2 − 4x − 2 = 0?
12345 [234]

Answer:

2(x-1)^{2}=4

Step-by-step explanation:

<u><em>The options of the question are</em></u>

2(x − 1)2 = 4

2(x − 1)2 = −4

2(x − 2)2 = 4

2(x − 2)2 = −4

we have

2x^{2} -4x-2=0

This is a vertical parabola open upward

The vertex represent the minimum value

The quadratic equation in vertex form is

y=a(x-h)^2+k

where

a is a coefficient

(h,k) is the vertex

so

Convert the quadratic equation in vertex form

Factor 2 leading coefficient

2(x^{2} -2x)-2=0

Complete the squares

2(x^{2} -2x+1)-2-2=0

2(x^{2} -2x+1)-4=0

Rewrite as perfect squares

2(x-1)^{2}-4=0

The vertex is the point (1,-4)

Move the constant to the right side

2(x-1)^{2}=4

A bag contains 31 checkers—13 red and 18 black. Determine whether the events "a red checker is selected, not replaced and then a
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

dependent, 39/155

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the checkers are not replaced, the events are dependent since the number of checkers in the bag  when you pick the second time depends on the first pick.

31 checkers—13 red and 18 black.

P(red) = red/ total

          = 13/31

Keep the checker

Then 30 checkers—12 red and 18 black.

P(black) = black/ total

          = 18/30 = 3/5

P ( red, keep,black) = 13/31 *3/5

                                   39/155

What are the solution(s) to the quadratic equation 40 − x2 = 0?
Anni [7]
X = 20
First, you move the 40 to the other side.
-2x=-40
Then, you divided -40 by -2.
x= -40/-2
x= 20
x is 20 because the negatives cancel out making it positive.
