Answer:

18 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Express the fraction of each type of marble as a function of the total number of marbles as shown;

Let;

total marbles=x

red marbles=3/(3+4)=3/7x

blue marbles=4/7 x

But x=42 marbles

The total number of marbles for each type can be expressed as;

total number of red marbles=fraction of red marbles×total number of marbles

where;

fraction of red marbles=3/7 x

total number of marbles=42

replacing;

total number of red marbles=(3/7)×42=18 marbles

total number of blue marbles=fraction of blue marbles×total number of marbles

where;

fraction of blue marbles=4/7 x

total number of marbles=42

replacing;

total number of blue marbles=(4/7)×42=24 marbles

How to solve y in -(y+9)=10

Allisa [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

- (y+9) = 10

Multiply through by -1 gives us

y+9 = -10

Subtract 9 from both sides

y = -19

That's your answer.

If you work it through it satisfies the equation.

That is:

- (-19 +9) = 10

-(-10) = 10

10 = 10

Boo ya!

The number of bacteria in a refrigerated food product is given by N ( T ) = 22 T 2 − 123 T + 40 , 6 < T < 36 , where T is

antoniya [11.8K]

Answer:

$N(T(t)) = 1408t^2 - 385.6t - 105.52$

Time for bacteria count reaching 8019: t = 2.543 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the composite function N(T(t)), we just need to use the value of T(t) for each T in the function N(T). So we have that:

$N(T(t)) = 22 * (8t + 1.7)^2 - 123 * (8t + 1.7) + 40$

$N(T(t)) = 22 * (64t^2 + 27.2t + 2.89) - 984t - 209.1 + 40$

$N(T(t)) = 1408t^2 + 598.4t + 63.58 - 984t - 169.1$

$N(T(t)) = 1408t^2 - 385.6t - 105.52$

Now, to find the time when the bacteria count reaches 8019, we just need to use N(T(t)) = 8019 and then find the value of t:

$8019 = 1408t^2 - 385.6t - 105.52$

$1408t^2 - 385.6t - 8124.52 = 0$

Solving this quadratic equation, we have that t = 2.543 hours, so that is the time needed to the bacteria count reaching 8019.

The point-slope form of the equation of the line that passes through (–4, –3) and (12, 1) is y – 1 = (x – 12). What is the stand

y-y1 = m (x-x1) y+3 = (1/4)(x+4) [using point (x1,y1)] or y–1 = (1/4)(x–12) [using point (x2,y2] [let's use this one since you did] To put this into Standard Form (Ax+By=C), y–1 = (1/4)(x–12) 4y - 4 = x - 12 -x + 4y - 4 = -12 [subtract x from both sides] -x + 4y = -8 [add 4 to both sides] x - 4y = 8 [multiply by (-1) to have x-coefficient positive
