Answer:

$450

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First, let's make a system of equations:

  • y+59=x,x+y=959 (y = dryer, x = washer)

2. (Solving)

Solve y + 59 = x for y:

  • y + 59 = x
  • y + 59-59=x-59 (Subtract 59 from both sides)
  • y = x-59

Substitute x - 59 for y in x + y = 959

  • x + y = 959
  • x+x-59=959
  • 2x - 59 = 959
  • 2x - 59 + 59 = 959 + 59 (Add 59 to both sides)
  • 2x = 1018
  • \frac{2x}{2} = \frac{1018}{2} (divide both sides by 2)
  • x = 509

Substitute 509 for x in y = x - 59

  • y = x - 59
  • y = 509-59
  • y = 450

Therefore, the dryer costs $450. (The washer costs $509).

Answer:

A dryer costs $450.

A washer costs $509.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let:

"washer" = x

"dryer" = y

Set the equations:

x + y = 959

x = y + 59

First, plug in y + 59 for x in the first equation for x:

x + y = 959

(y + 59) + y = 959

Simplify, combine like terms:

y + y + 59 = 959

2y + 59 = 959

Next, isolate the variable, y. Note the equal sign, what you do to one side, you do to the other. Do the opposite of PEMDAS. PEMDAS is the order of operations, and stands for:

Parenthesis, Exponents (& Roots), Multiplications, Divisions, Additions, Subtractions.

First, subtract 59 from both sides of the equation:

2y + 59 (-59) = 959 (-59)

2y = 959 - 59

2y = 900

Next, divide 2 from both sides of the equation:

(2y)/2 = (900)/2

y = 900/2

y = 450

Next, plug in 450 for y in one of the equations:

x = y + 59

x = (450) + 59

x = 509

Check:

x + y = 959

450 + 509 = 959

959 = 959 (True).

What is the inverse of the function??
Firlakuza [10]
\(\begin{matrix}
y=ln(x+3)\\
e^y=x+3\\
e^y-3=x\\
swap ~x~and~y\\
 \huge\underline{y=e^x-3}}
 \end{matrix}\)


To get the inverse of any function f(x) [ just make sure that it passes the horizontal line test] follow the steps:

- Solve for x, i.e separate x in one side and the other terms in the other side, included f(x).

- Swap x and f(x).

- The result is the inverse of the original function f^{-1}(x).

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

Apply that on your function
\(\begin{matrix}
y=ln(x+3)\\
e^y=x+3\\
e^y-3=x\\
swap ~x~and~y\\
 \huge\underline{y=e^x-3}}
 \end{matrix}\)

This famous clock tower has a clock face with a diameter of 23 feet. What is the approximate area of this clock face
pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Therefore the approximate area of this clock face is 415.3 feet².

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Clock is of Circular Shape,

Diameter = 23 feet

Radius =r =\dfrac{diameter}{2}=\dfrac{23}{2}=11.5\ feet

To Find :

Area of Clock Face = ?

Solution:

Area of Circle having Radius 'r' is given as,

\textrm{Area of Circle}=\pi r^{2}

Substituting the values we get

\textrm{Area of Clock Face}=3.14\times (11.5)^{2}=415.265=415.3\ feet^{2}

Therefore the approximate area of this clock face is 415.3 feet².

How do i convert 2.3 y/min to ft/s
Mama L [17]

2.3 meters per second = 7.546 feet per second

Formula: multiply the value in meters per second by the conversion factor '3.2808398950087'.

So, 2.3 meters per second = 2.3 × 3.2808398950087 = 7.54593175852 feet per second.
