600 elves

25% = 1/4
1/4 of the total = 150.
1/4 x 4 = 1 (total)
150 x 4 = 600
there are 600 elves

If you are adding (6a – 3) and (-3a + 6), which of the following choices shows like terms correctly grouped? (1 point) TE O (6a

Anna11 [10]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

(a) (6a - 3a) + (-3+6)

Step-by-step explanation:

Assuming "properly grouped" means that parentheses are placed around each group of terms, the appropriate choice is the one that groups 'a' terms and constant terms:

(6a - 3a) + (-3 + 6)

PLEASE HELP (30 POINTS) Solve the rational equation x/3 = x^2/x + 5 , and check for extraneous solutions.

anygoal [31]

Option C: $x=0$ and $x=\frac{5}{2}$ are the solutions.

Explanation:

The equation is $\frac{x}{3} =\frac{x^{2} }{x+5}$

We shall determine the value of x, by simplifying the equation.

$\begin{aligned} x(x+5) &=3 x^{2} \\ x^{2}+5 x &=3 x^{2} \\ 2 x^{2}-5 x &=0 \\ x(2 x-5) &=0 \end{aligned}$

Thus, $x=0$ and $x=\frac{5}{2}$ are the solutions.

Now, let us check whether the solutions are extraneous solutions.

Let us substitute $x=0$ in the original equation to check whether both sides of the equation are equal.

$\begin{aligned}&\frac{0}{3}=\frac{0^{2}}{0+5}\\&0=\frac{0}{5}\\&0=0\end{aligned}$

Thus, both sides of the equation are equal.

Hence $x=0$ is a true solution.

Now, Let us substitute $x=\frac{5}{2}$ in the original equation to check whether both sides of the equation are equal.

$\begin{aligned}\frac{\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)}{3} &=\frac{\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)^{2}}{\left(\frac{5}{2}\right)+5} \\\frac{5}{6} &=\frac{\left(\frac{25}{4}\right)}{\left(\frac{15}{2}\right)} \\\frac{5}{6} &=\frac{5}{6}\end{aligned}$

Thus, both sides of the equation are equal.

Hence, $x=\frac{5}{2}$ is a true solution.

Thus, solutions are not extraneous.

Hence, Option C is the correct answer.

Based on housing data below which equation can be used to calculate fair housing prices?

VMariaS [17]

Answer:

B. y = 0.097x + 11.142

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find the best equation to descibe the housing price, we have to calculate the slope of the line first.

The equation of the line can be written as

$y=mx+q$

where m is the slope and q the y-intercept.

In order to have the most accurate estimate for the slope, we use the first point and the last point, that are:

(1900, 196)

and

(2200, 225)

The slope of the line is calculated as:

$m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}=\frac{225-196}{2200-1900}=0.097$

So, the slope of the line is 0.097.

Therefore, the correct option is the only one having a slope of 0.097, which is:

B. y = 0.097x + 11.142
