Answer:

20

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that 414-360 = 54 and we divide it by 3, 54/3 = 18. So we know that every student paid 18 dollars. 360/18 = 20

Let total students be x
Students didn't came to lunch be y

ATQ

x+y=414---(1)
x-y=360--(2)

Substracting both

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 2y=54$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto y=27$

3 students paid 27

each paid

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{27}{3}=9$

Now

Total students went on trip

$\\ \sf\longmapsto \dfrac{360}{9}$

$\\ \sf\longmapsto 40$

The area of a square mirror is 256 in². A rectangular mirror has a width the same as the square mirrors width. Its length is two

timofeeve [1]

Area (square mirror)=side²
Therefore:
side²=256 in²
side=√(256 in²)=16 in

Rectangular mirror:
width= square mirror width=side=16 in
length=(width + 2 in)=16 in + 2 in=18 in.

Area(rectangular mirror)=length x width.
Area (rectangular mirror)=(18 in)(16 in)=288 in².

Answer: the area of a rectangular mirror is 288 in².

Which ordered pairs are solutions to the inequality y−2x≤−3?

My name is Ann [436]

we will proceed to resolve each case to determine the solution

we have

$y-2x \leq -3$

$y\leq2x-3$

we know that

If an ordered pair is the solution of the inequality, then it must satisfy the inequality.

<u>case a)</u> $(5,-3)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$-3\leq2*5-3$

$-3\leq7$ -------> is true

so

The ordered pair $(5,-3)$ is a solution

<u>case b)</u> $(0,-2)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$-2\leq2*0-3$

$-2\leq-3$ -------> is False

so

The ordered pair $(0,-2)$ is not a solution

<u>case c)</u> $(-6,-3)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$-3\leq2*-6-3$

$-3\leq-15$ -------> is False

so

The ordered pair $(-6,-3)$ is not a solution

<u>case d)</u> $(1,-1)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$-1\leq2*1-3$

$-1\leq-1$ -------> is True

so

The ordered pair $(1,-1)$ is a solution

<u>case e)</u> $(7,12)$

Substitute the value of x and y in the inequality

$12\leq2*7-3$

$12\leq11$ -------> is False

so

The ordered pair $(7,12)$ is not a solution

Verify

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure

the solution is the shaded area below the line

The points A and D lies on the shaded area, therefore the ordered pairs A and D are solution of the inequality

Kristie has taken five tests in science class. The average of all five of Kristie's test scores is 94. The average of her last t

Bingel [31]

Answer: The average of the first two test scores is 97.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that Kristie has taken five tests in science class. The average of all five of Kristie's test scores is 94 and the average of her last three test scores is 92.

We are to find the average score of her first two tests.

Let a1, a2, a3, a4 and a5 be teh scores of Kristle in first , second, third, fourth and fifth tests respectively.

Then, according to the given information, we have

$\dfrac{a1+a2+a3+a4+a5}{5}=94\\\\\Rightarrow a1+a2+a3+a4+a5=94\times5\\\\\Rightarrow a1+a2+a3+a4+a5=470~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(i)$

and

$\dfrac{a3+a4+a5}{3}=92\\\\\Rightarrow a3+a4+a5=92\times3\\\\\Rightarrow a3+a4+a5=276~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(ii)$

Subtracting equation (ii) from equation (i), we get

$(a1+a2+a3+a4+a5)-(a3+a4+a5)=470-276\\\\\Rightarrow a1+a2=194\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a1+a2}{2}=\dfrac{194}{2}\\\\\Rightarrow \dfrac{a1+a2}{2}=97.$

Thus, the average of the first two test scores is 97.
