A series of maths books consists of four volumes. The first has x pages and the second has 54 more. The third and fourth volumes

have 32 more pages than the second volume. The number of pages of all volumes is 866. Calculate the number of pages in each volume.

Answer:

1st volume = 160

2nd volume = 160 + 54 = 214

3rd volume = 160 + 54 + 32 = 246

4th volume = x + 54 + 32 = 246

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Number of volumes = 4

1st volume = x pages

2nd volume = 54 more = x + 54

3rd volume = 32 more = x + 54 + 32

4th volume = 32 more = x + 54 + 32

Total number of pages = 866

Hence,

1st + 2nd + 3rd + 4th = 866

x + x + 54 + x + 54 + 32 + x + 54 + 32 = 866

4x + 226 = 866

4x = 640

x = 160

1st volume = 160

2nd volume = 160 + 54 = 214

3rd volume = 160 + 54 + 32 = 246

4th volume = x + 54 + 32 = 246

Factor each trinomial.<br>1. x2 + 7x + 10

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

I dont know about you, but my teacher taught me to use MAN

M= 10 (the c value)

A= 7 (the b value)

N= +5, +2 (two numbers that multiply and add to give you 10 and 7. For example, 5 times 2= 10 and 5 plus 2 = 7)

ANSWER: (x+5)(x+2)

if you have any questions let me know.

What is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line and passes through the point (3, 0)?

olga2289 [7]

Step $1$

<u>Find the slope of the given line</u>

Let

$A(-3,2)\ B(2,-1)$

slope mAB is equal to

$mAB=\frac{(y2-y1)}{(x2-x1)} \\ \\ mAB=\frac{(-1-2)}{(2+3)} \\ \\ mAB=-\frac{3}{5}$

Step $2$

<u>Find the slope of the line that is perpendicular to the given line</u>

Let

CD ------> the line that is perpendicular to the given line

we know that

If two lines are perpendicular, then the product of their slopes is equal to $-1$

so

$mAB*mCD=-1\\ mAB=-\frac{3}{5} \\ mCD=-\frac{1}{mAB} \\ mCD=\frac{5}{3}$

Step $3$

<u>Find the equation of the line with mCD and the point (3,0)</u>

we know that

the equation of the line in the form point-slope is equal to

$y-y1=m(x-x1)\\\\ y-0=\frac{5}{3} *(x-3)\\\\ y=\frac{5}{3} x-5$

Multiply by $3$ both sides

$3y=5x-15$

$5x-3y=15$

therefore

the answer is

the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the given line is the equation $5x-3y=15$

For the first option, since when x is going down (to the left) the function is going up, it's not approaching 0. For the second option, since when x is going up (to the right) it's going up, it's not approaching negative infinity (negative infinity is all the way down). For the third one, since when x is going down the y values are climbing, we can assume that the function's values go to positive infinity. For the last one, since when x=0 y=0, when x=0 the function does not go to infinity

Find the amount of sap the maple syrup producer collected from each tree if the total amount (5 gallons) was redistributed equal

Afina-wow [57]

The picture in the attached figure

we know that
total amount of sap =[3*(1/4)+2*(3/8)+4*(5/8)+1*(1)]
total amount of sap =[(3/4)+(6/8)+(20/8)+(1)]
total amount of sap =[(3/4)+(3/4)+(10/4)+(4/4)]
total amount of sap =[20/4]
total amount of sap =5 gallons
total of trees=10

<span>[amount of sap collected from each tree]=total amount of sap/total of trees
</span>
[amount of sap collected from each tree]=5/10----> 0.5 gallons per tree

the answer is
0.5 gallons
