Let n be old painters time. Then the new painters are 2n. So:
1/n+1/2n=1/6
2+1=2n/6
2n=18
n=9
The old painters take 9 hours; the new ones take 18

For the table below, determine the function rule, and find each of the missing y-values.
anygoal [31]
The answer is 8 and 13

<span>
y = ax + b
y = 4, x = 1        </span>⇒  4 = a + b
y = 6, x = 3       ⇒  6 = 3a + b

Solve the system of equation:
a + b = 4
3a + b = 6
______
b = 4 - a
3a + b = 6
______
3a + 4 - a = 6
2a + 4 = 6
2a = 6 - 4
2a = 2
a = 2/2 = 1
b = 4 - a = 4 - 1 = 3

So, the function rule is: y = x + 3

Thus, if x = 7, then y = 7 + 3 = 10
If x = 10, then y = 10 + 3 = 13

The ratio of Ed's toy cars to Pete's toy cars was initially 5:2. After Ed gave 30 toy cars to Pete, they each had an equal numbe
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

140 toy cars

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Ed's toy car to Pete's toy car is initially given as 5:2

Ed gave Pete a total number of 30 cars

Let x represent the greatest common factor that exists between both number

Number of Ed's car is represented as 5x

Number of Pete car is represented as 2x

Since they each have an equal number of cars which is 30 then we can solve for x as follows

5x-30=2x+30

Collect the like terms

5x-2x= 30+30

3x= 60

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3

3x/3=60/3

x=20

Ed's car is 5x, we substitute 20 for x

5(20)

= 100 cars

Pete car is 2x,we substitute 20 for x

2(20)

= 40 cars

Therefore, the total number of cars can be calculated as follows

= 100+40

= 140 toy cars

Hence they have 140 toy cars altogether

points a,b and c are collinear on AC, and AB:BC=3/4. A is located at (x,y), B is located at (4,1), and c is located at (12,5). w
olga_2 [115]
We have two unknowns: x and y. Now, we have to formulate 2 equations. The first would come from the use of the given ratio:

We use the distance formula to find the distance between coordinates:

3/4 = √[(x-4)²+(y-1)²] / √[(4-12)²+(1-5)²]
√[(x-4)²+(y-1)²]  = 3√5
(x-4)²+(y-1)² = 45
x² - 8x + 16 + y² - 2y + 1 = 45
x² - 8x + y² - 2y = 28  --> eqn 1

The second equation must come from the equation of a line:
y = mx +b
m = (5-1)/(12-4) = 1/2

Substitute y=5 and x=12 for point (12,5)
5 = (1/2)(12) + b
b = -1

So, the second equation is

y = 1/2x -1 or x = 2 + 2y --> eqn 2

Solving the equations simultaneously:
(2 + 2y)² - 8(2 + 2y) + y² - 2y = 28 
Solving for y, 
y = -2
x = 2+2(-2) = -2

Therefore, the coordinates of point A is (-2,-2).
