Answer:

Let the dryer cost x.

Then, the washer costs (x+87)

Together, they cost (x) + (x+87) = 787

2x+87 = 787

2x = 700 [subtract 97 from both sides]

x = 350 [divide both sides by 2]

The dryer cost $350.

Check: The washer cost $437. Together, they cost $787 [good to check, right?]

Hope this helps...

What value correctly fills in the blank so that the expressions are equivalent?

Rasek [7]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Notice:

32 = (8 x 4)

72 = (8 x 9)

Hence,

32 + 72

= (8 x 4) + (8 x 9) (factorize out the 8)

= 8 x (4 + 9)

therefore the musing number is 8

the temper ire of chicken soup is 192.7 F as it cools the temperature of the soup decreases 2.3 what is the temperature of the s

ad-work [718]

The temperature of soup after 25 minutes is $135.2^{\circ}\ F$

Solution:

The temperature of chicken soup is 192.7°F

As it cools, the temperature of the soup decreases 2.3°F per minute

Let the initial temperature be $T_0$

Let "t" be the time for rate of decrease

Set up an equation

Temperature = Initial temperature - decrease in temperature

Decrease in temperature = rate of decrease x time

Therefore,

$T = T_0-2.3t$

To find the temperature of soup after 25 minutes, substitute t = 25

$T = 192.7 - 2.3 (25)\\\\T = 192.7 -57.5\\\\T = 135.2$

Thus the temperature of soup after 25 minutes is $135.2^{\circ}\ F$

Answer:

$x=13$

Step-by-step explanation:

By the definition of an angle bisector, we have that $8x-23=5x+16$ .

We can add $23$ to both sides to get $8x=5x+39$ .

We can then subtract $5x$ from both sides to get $3x=39$ .

We can finally divide both sides by $3$ to get $\boxed{x=13}$

Answer:

A. $y=-1.2x+59$

B. 42.2 million

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

Given:

Newspapers circulated in year 2004, $y_{1}=59\textrm{ million}$

Newspapers circulated in year 2014, $y_{2}=47\textrm{ million}$

Let the time $x$ start at the year 2004. So, $x_{1}=0$

For the year 2014, $x_{2}=2014-2004=10$

Therefore, linear relationship between newspapers circulated and time passed since 2004 is given as:

$y-y_{1}=\frac{y_{2}-y_{1}}{x_{2}-x_{1}}(x-x_{1})\\y-59=\frac{47-59}{10-0}(x-0)\\y-59=-\frac{12}{10}x\\y=-1.2x+59$

Therefore, the equation describing the relationship is: $y=-1.2x+59$

Part B:

For the year 2018, $x=2018-2004=14$

Plug in 14 for $x$ in the above equation and solve for $y$ . This gives,

$y=-1.2(14)+59\\y=-16.8+59\\y=42.2$

Therefore, in the year 2018, the newspaper circulation will be 42.2 million.
