John and Erica each have a marble collection. • The number of marbles in John's collection can be represented by x. • The number

of marbles in Erica's collection is 10 more than 4 times the number of marbles in John's collection. • The total number of marbles in both collections is 270. Find the number of marbles in John's collections.

Answer: John has 52 marbles in his collection

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

LET The number of marbles in John's collection can be represented by x.  The and the number of marbles in Erica  collection can be represented as =4x+ 10

The total number of marbles in both collections is 270 such that the expression to solve the equation will be

JOHN + ERICA = 270marbles

X + 4X+ 10= 270

Step 2--- solving

X + 4X+ 10= 270

5X+ 10= 270

5X= 270-10

5X= 260

X= 260/5

=52

John has 52 marbles in his collection

Erica has 4x + 10 = 4x 52 + 10=218 marbles

Graph x^3-x^2-2x=0 what are the solutions of the equation
Aleks [24]
X^3 - x^2 - 2x = 0
x ( x^2 - x - 2 ) = 0
x (x-2) (x+1) = 0
x = 0
x-2 = 0 --> x = 2
x+1 = 0 --> x = -1

x = 0, x = 2, x = -1

Is the number prime 5 and cmppsite or just one?
Serga [27]

If I understand what you are asking, the number 5 is prime. The definition for a prime number is a number that has no factors other than itself and one. The prime factorization of 5 is 5 * 1. Since 5's factors are only itself and 1, that means that it is prime. The definition of a composite number is a number that has at least one divisor other than one and itself. This means that a number cannot be both prime and composite.

Answer:

  • The sequence of transformations that maps triangle XYZ onto triangle X"Y"Z" is <u>translation 5 units to the left, followed by translation 1 unit down, and relfection accross the x-axis</u>.

Explanation:

By inspection (watching the figure), you can tell that to transform the triangle XY onto triangle X"Y"Z", you must slide the former 5 units to the left, 1 unit down, and, finally, reflect it across the x-axys.

You can check that analitically

Departing from the triangle: XYZ

  • <u>Translation 5 units to the left</u>: (x,y) → (x - 5, y)

  • Vertex X: (-6,2) → (-6 - 5, 2) = (-11,2)
  • Vertex Y: (-4, 7) → (-4 - 5, 7) = (-9,7)
  • Vertex Z: (-2, 2) → (-2 -5, 2) = (-7, 2)

  • <u>Translation 1 unit down</u>: (x,y) → (x, y-1)

  • (-11,2) → (-11, 2 - 1) = (-11, 1)
  • (-9,7) → (-9, 7 - 1) = (-9, 6)
  • (-7, 2) → (-7, 2 - 1) = (-7, 1)

  • <u>Reflextion accross the x-axis</u>: (x,y) → (x, -y)

  • (-11, 1) → (-11, -1), which are the coordinates of vertex X"
  • (-9, 6) → (-9, -6), which are the coordinates of vertex Y""
  • (-7, 1) → (-7, -1), which are the coordinates of vertex Z"

Thus, in conclusion, it is proved that the sequence of transformations that maps triangle XYZ onto triangle X"Y"Z" is translation 5 units to the left, followed by translation 1 unit down, and relfection accross the x-axis.
