Answer:

Pumkins $7 and Watermelons $5

Step-by-step explanation:

let pumkins be P and watermelons be W s0

5P+20W=135 and 10P+16W=150

express first equation in terms of P

5P+20W=135

5P=135-20W (divide equation by 5)

P=27-4W

now express the second equation using the new P value

10P+16W=150

10(27-4W)+16W=150

270-40W+16W=150

120=24W

W=5

now plug in w value and solve for p

5P+20(5)=135

P=7

What is the sign of the product (−4)(2)(−3)(6)?

lana [24]

Answer:

The sign would be positive.

The answer would be 144.

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that there are two negative numbers and two positive numbers:

positive x positive = positive answer.

negative x negative = positive answer.

Solve:

(-4) * (-3) = 12

2 * 6 = 12

12 * 12 = 144

144 would be your answer.

a wire of length 200 cm is cut into two parts and each part is bent to form a square.If the area of the larger square is 9 times

diamong [38]

Answer:

The perimeter of the larger square is $150cm.$

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all, let one part of it be " $x$ "

and the other part of it " $200-x$ "

Now to solve this :

The area of the square = $L^2$

The area of one part of the square = $x^2$

The area of the other part of the square = $(200-x)^2$

$9x^2= (200-x)^2\\9x^2=40000-400x+x^2$

Now, add, $-4x^2$ to both the sides :

$9x^2-9x^2=40000-400x+x^2-9x^2\\-1(8x^2+400x-40000)=0$

Now, take out the "8" which is common :

$-8(x^2+50x-5000)=0$

Now, divide it by $-8$ :

$x^2+100x-50x-5000=0\\x(x+100)-50(x+100)=0\\(x+100)(x-50)=0\\$

$x=-100$ or $50$

So, now we know that :

One of the part is = $50cm$

And the other part is = $150cm$

Thus the perimeter of the larger square is = $150cm$

What is the value of e^infinity and e^-infinity

valentinak56 [21]

E^(∞): This is defined as 'e' being raised to a huge value. Hence the result will definitely be a large number which is also infinity (∞), i.e. e^(∞) = ∞. e^(- ∞) = 1/e^(∞) = 1/∞ = 0.

HELP ASAP PLEASE!!!!

Ugo [173]

Only problem is with the simplifying.

We all know that 5/5 = 1, it is natural to assume (x+a)/(x+a) is also 1, but in some cases where x+a=0, it is undefined. In this equation, where they simplify (x-2) and (x-6), you must say that x is not 2 nor 6 or, you just delete 0/0 which is undefined.

Therefore the only solution would be x=-1
