Find the x and y intercepts. Write your answer as x = y = 2x + 5y = 10

1 answer:

6 0

The x-intercept is present where y = 0

2x + 5y - 10 = 0
2x - 10 = -5y
2x - 10 = -5(0)
2x = 10
x = 5

The y-intercept is present where x = 0

2x + 5y = 10
2x + 5y - 10 = 0
5y - 10 = -2(0)
5y = 10
y = 2

sarah can complete a project in 90 minutes and her sister betty can complete it in 120 minutes if they both work on the project

alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

It will take them approximately 51.43 minutes to complete the project together

Step-by-step explanation:

This is what is called a "shared job" problem.

The best way to work on them is to start by finding the "portion" of the job done by each of the people in the unit of time.

So, for example, Sarah completes the project in 90 minutes, so in the unit of time (that is 1 minute) she completed 1/90 of the total project

Betty completes the project in 120 minutes, so in the unit of time (1 minute) she completes 1/120 of the total project.

We don't know how long it would take for them to complete the project when working together, so we call that time "x" (our unknown).

Now, when they work together completing the entire job in x minutes, in the unit of time they would have done 1/x of the total project.

In the unite of time, the fraction of the job done together (1/x) should equal the fraction of the job done by Sarah (1/90) plus the fraction of the job done by Betty. This in mathematical form becomes:

$\frac{1}{x} =\frac{1}{90} +\frac{1}{120}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{4}{360} +\frac{3}{360}\\\frac{1}{x} =\frac{7}{360} \\x=\frac{360}{7} \\x=51.43\,\,min$

So it will take them approximately 51.43 minutes to complete the project together.

Alexxx [7]

Question is Incomplete, Complete question is given below,

Murphy loves pistachio nuts. Every Saturday morning, she walks to the market and buys some. Last week, she bought two pounds and paid $7.96, and this week she bought only one-half pound and paid $1.99. What the unit rate for pistachio nuts?

Answer:

The unit rate for pistachio nuts is $3.98.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given;

Price of 2 pounds of pistachio nuts = $7.96

We need to find the price of 1 pound of pistachio nuts.

To find the same we will use the unitary method,

Hence ,

Price of 1 pound of pistachio nuts = $\frac{\$7.96}{2} = \$3.98$

Also given:

Price of half pound of pistachio nuts = $1.99

We need to find the price of 1 pound of pistachio nuts.

To find the same we will use the unitary method,

Hence ,

Price of 1 pound of pistachio nuts = $\$1.99\times 2 = \$3.98$

Hence, The unit rate for pistachio nuts is $3.98

H/3+h/6=1 how many hours will it take them to mow their lawn a.6 b.3 c.2 d.1

Furkat [3]

Answer:

c 2

Step-by-step explanation:

h/3 + h/6 =1

Multiply both sides by 6 to eliminate the fractions

6(h/3+h/6) = 1*6

2h +h =6

Combine like terms

3h = 6

Divide by 3

3h/3 = 6/3

h =2

2 hours

Jordan throws a ball from a cliff 12 feet above the ground with an initial velocity of 32 feet per second. In the following func

lbvjy [14]

Answer:

Your answer will be the third function

Step-by-step explanation:

The base function you need to know is h(t)= 1/2at^2

Your acceleration in this problem is going to be gravity which they give to you, 32 feet per second squared. Since the ball is falling, it means it will have negative acceleration. Now you have the equation h(t)= -16t^2. The final step is to add the initial height from which the ball was dropped giving you: h(t)= -16t^2 +12
