Answer:

54 foot long pieces

Step-by-step explanation:

Jack has 18 yards of fabric that he wants to cut into pieces that are each 1 foot long. How many one-foot long pieces can Jack create? Come up with two different strategies for solving. (1 yd = 3 ft)

Step 1

Convert yards to foot

1 yd = 3 ft

18 yards = x

Cross Multiply

x = 18 × 3 ft

= 54 ft

Step 2

He wants to cut into pieces that are each 1 foot long. How many one-foot long pieces can Jack create?

This is calculated as:

1 foot = 1 piece.

54 feet = x

x = 54 × 1 piece

x = 54 pieces

Find the value of z in the figure below.<br>.​
zzz [600]

answer

z = 100

opposite angles

when inscribed in a circle, the opposite angles of a quadrilateral add up to 180

so z + 80 = 180 and y + 120 = 180

solve for z

z + 80 = 180

z = 180 - 80

z = 100

10x + 4y = 24 6x +12y = 48 What is the value of y? * <br>A. 7 <br>B. 7/2 <br>C. 1 <br>D. -7/2​
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

B

Step-by-step explanation:

1) lets use elimination to solve this:

multiply 10x+4y=24 with 3 in order to get "4y" into "12y"

3(10x+4y=24)

30x+12y=72

now subtract both equations to eliminate 'y"

30x+12y=72

-

6x+12y=48

---------------------

24x=24

x=1

now substitute 1 in the above equation:

6(1)+12y=48

6+12y=48

12y=42

y=7/2

Two friends Vicky and Micky start a business together. They decided to share their capitals depending up on the variable expendi
elixir [45]

Answer:

a- x = 5/3, or x = -7/2

b- 675

c - 5·x + 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomial representing the capital of the two partners = 6·x² + 11·x - 35

a. The total share is the capital of the two partners together = 6·x² + 11·x - 35

∴ When their total share is equal to 0, we have;

6·x² + 11·x - 35 = 0

Factorizing the above equation with a graphing calculator gives;

(3·x - 5)·(2·x + 7)

Therefore;

x = 5/3, or x = -7/2

b- The total expenditure, when x = 10 is given by substituting the value of <em>x </em>in the polynomial 6·x² + 11·x - 35, as follows;

When x = 10

6·x² + 11·x - 35 = 6 × 10² + 11 × 10 - 35 = 675

The total expenditure of Vicky and Micky when x = 10 is 675

c - The sum of their expenditure is (3·x - 5) + (2·x + 7) = 5·x + 2
