Answer:

Explanation:

in each of the following substitute x with the variables in the bracket.

f(a) = 5x - 6

= 5a - 6

f(a+h) = 5 (a + h) - 6

= 5a + 5h - 6

f(a+h) - f(a) = (5a + 5h - 6) - (5a - 6)

= 5a + 5h - 6 - 5a + 6

= 5h

(as the 5a's and 6's cancel each other out.)

f(a+h) - f(a)/h = 5a + 5h - 6 - ((5a - 6)÷h)

take l.c.m

= (5ah + 5h^2 - 6h - 5a + 6)

Answer:

1) X stands for individual acts and y, group acts. 2) Each scenario describes a different period in minutes, but each one respecting their different amounts (individual and group acts). 3) $S=\left \{ 5,10 \right \}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Completing with what was found:

1) Here is a summary of the scenario your classmate presented for the talent show:Main show The main show will last two hours and will include twelve individual acts and six group acts.Final show The final show will last 30 minutes and will include the top four individual acts and the top group act.The equations he came up with are: 12x+ 6y= 120, 4x+ y= 30

1. What do x and y represent in this situation?

X stands for individual acts and y, group acts.

Besides that, In the system of equation, they represent the time for x, and the time for y.

2. Do you agree that your classmate set up the equations correctly? Explain why or why not.

Yes, that's right. Each scenario describes a different period in minutes, but each one respecting their different amounts (individual and group acts). Either for 120 minutes or 30 minutes length. And their sum totalizing the whole period.

3. Solving the system by Elimination

$\left\{\begin{matrix}12x+ 6y= 120\\ 4x+ y= 30\end{matrix}\right.\\\left\{\begin{matrix}12x+ 6y= 120\\ 4x+ y= 30\:*(-3)\end{matrix}\right.\\\left\{\begin{matrix}12x+ 6y= 120\\ -12x+ -3y= -90\end{matrix}\right.\\3y=30\Rightarrow y=10\\4x+(10)=30\Rightarrow 4x=20\Rightarrow x=5\\S=\left \{ 5,10 \right \}$

Which statement is true?

Bess [88]

In geometry, a parallelogram is defined as a simple quadrilateral with two pairs of parallel sides, with opposite sides are of equal length and the opposite angles of equal measure. From these descriptions alone, one statement is true-- All squares are parallelograms because they have 2 pairs of parallel sides.

Someone please help me please

Katyanochek1 [597]

For the first one. An equilateral triangle is one with three equal sides. An isosceles triangle is one with two equal sides. Therefore, every equilateral triangle is isosceles, but not every isosceles triangle is equilateral. So far, so book.

For the second one. Right triangles are defined as triangles that contain a right angle, where a right angle is an angle with a measure of 90°. Isosceles triangles are defined as triangles that have two sides of equal length.

1000 calls received 15% not answered

trapecia [35]

A really easy one, just divide the number of calls, 1000, by 15 to get the number of calls unanswered, which is 150. Also, if 150 is taken from 1000, you get the total answered calls via subtraction, which is 850.
