Answer:

Maddie got 810 votes

Step-by-step explanation:

We'll call Maddie's votes x, and her opponent's votes y.

x + y = 1485

x = y + 0.20y (because she got the same number of votes as her opponent, PLUS another 20% of that number. Divide 20% by 100 to get the decimal equivalent) This can also be written as x = 1.2y

So our system is

x + y = 1485 and

x = 1.2y

Substitute the second equation's value for x into the first equation:

1.2y + y = 1485 then solve for y

2.2y = 1485

divide both sides by 2.2

y = 675

substitute that in and solve for x

x + y =1485

x + 675 = 1485

subtract 675 from both sides

x = 810

Please let me know if you have questions on this answer. Hope it helps.

Jill And Jamahl are comparing their favorite number.Jill number has a prime factorization of 6 number. Jamahl has a prime factor

tatiyna

To prove that jill is wrong we just need an example of this;

2*3*5*7*11*13 = 30030 (this is the smallest number with 6 different prime numbers)

5953*5981*5987 = 2.13x10^11 (which is obviously a much bigger number)

this is enough to prove that jill is wrong

1) The x-axis represents the energy ( $E$ ), in joules. The y-axis represents the amplitude ( $x$ ), in milimeters.

2) The curve depicts an monotonous decrecent rate of change.

3) The amplitude is directly proportional to the root square of the energy.

<h3>How to analyze a graph relationship between two variables</h3>

In this question we have a relationship between two variables, in which we must apply principles of functional analysis to respond three questions presented in the statement.

Now we proceed to answer the three questions below:

What is on the x-axis? The y-axis? R/ The x-axis represents the energy ( $E$ ), in joules. The y-axis represents the amplitude ( $x$ ), in milimeters.
How would you describe the rate of change of the line? R/ The curve depicts an monotonous decrecent rate of change, that is, the slope converges to zero when the energy tends to infinite.
What does this tell you about the relationship between amplitude and energy? R/ The curve show a strong similarity with a function of the form $x = A\cdot \sqrt{E}$ . Hence, the amplitude is directly proportional to the root square of the energy.

M - 37 = 56 jack has 56 marbles Kyle has 37 fewer than jack

Goshia [24]

Do we have to solve for M if so, the answer is

m-37 = 56

m =56 + 37

m = 93
