First, convert 3/5 to a percent by multiplying it by 20/20, getting 60/100, or 60%. Then, find 60% of 40 by multiplying 60 by 40 to get 2,400 and divide it by 100 to get 24, meaning Mark spend $24 on both books. Each of the books cost $12, as 24/2 is 12.

Use substitution and substitute y into the other equation. One of the equations already gives you y in terms of x, so use that and substitute it into the other equation. y = 3x - 4

Plug into the other equation: -3y = -9x + 12
-3(3x-4) = -9x + 12
-9x + 12 = -9x + 12
This is an identity. So that means that any value of x makes this equation true. So B.

Which is the vertex of x2 + 10x = -17 (-5,-8) (5,8) (-5,8) (5,-8)

ad-work [718]

Answer:

vertex = (- 5, - 8)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given a quadratic in standard form : ax² + bx + c = 0 : a ≠ 0

Then the x- coordinate of the vertex is

$x_{vertex}$ = - $\frac{b}{2a}$

Given x² + 10x = - 17 ( add 17 to both sides )

x² + 10x + 17 = 0 ← in standard form

with a = 1, b = 10, c = 17, then

$x_{vertex}$ = - $\frac{10}{2}$ = - 5

Substitute x = - 5 into the quadratic for the corresponding value of y

y = (- 5)² + 10(- 5) + 17 = 25 - 50 + 17 = - 8

Hence vertex = (- 5, - 8)

Find the missing dimension of the prism. Round your answer to the nearest hundredth.

Nitella [24]

Answer:

$x = 6.99in$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

$l =2in$

$Volume = 72.66in^3$

See attachment for prism

Required

Find x

The prism has a regular hexagon base

The base area is calculated as:

$Base\ Area= \frac{3\sqrt 3}{2}l^2$

This gives:

$Base\ Area= \frac{3\sqrt 3}{2} * 2^2$

$Base\ Area= \frac{3\sqrt 3}{2} * 4$

$Base\ Area= 3\sqrt 3 * 2$

$Base\ Area= 6\sqrt 3$

Side x represents the height.

So, we have:

$Volume = Base\ Area*x$

Make x the subject

$x = \frac{Volume }{ Base\ Area}$

$x = \frac{72.66in^3}{6\sqrt 3 in^2}$

$x = \frac{72.66}{6\sqrt 3}in$

$x = \frac{12.11}{\sqrt 3}in$

$x = 6.99in$ --- approximated

Mark plans on taking 3 trips this summer. He'll drive 143 miles,138 miles , and 141 miles. Estimate the total miles he'll drive.

Deffense [45]

Lets round each distance to the nearest tens place, and then add them up to get an estimate. 143 rounds down to 140, 138 rounds up to 140, and 141 rounds down to 140. So: 140 + 140 + 140 = 420 miles
