Answer:

a) 580 - 16n

b) 9850 - 271.72n

Step-by-step explanation:

a) starting number of bales = 580

each day, the farmer feeds out 2 bales of hay to each yard. he has 8 yards, so he feeds out 2 bales 8 times for a total of 2 * 8 = 16 bales. Therefore, he loses 16 bales each day

After the first day, he has 580-16 = 564 bales. After the second, he has 564-16 = 548 bales, and so on. He loses 16 bales n times for n days, and as a result, his final amount of bales is

original amount - amount lost = 580 - 16n

First, we can calculate how much a bale weighs.

average = sum/count = 9850 kg / 580 ≈ 17 kg

Therefore, as he loses 16 bales of hay, he loses 17 kg 16 times, or approximately 271.72 kg of hay every day. For n days, he loses 271.72n kg. This brings his final amount to be

starting - amount lost = 9850 - 271.72n

What is the value of this expression when a = 2 and b = -3 ? a^3 - b^3 / 5

saveliy_v [14]

Answer:

13 2/5

Step-by-step explanation:

a = 2 and b = -3

so the question asks whats.... a^3 - b^3/5

First we plug in the values of a and b

(2)^3 - (-3)^3 /5

Now we solve the ones in paranthesis first

(2)^3 = 8 because 2×2×2 and

-(-3)^3 forget about the - outside the parenthesis so

(-3)^3 = (-27) because (-3)×(-3)×(-3)

now we put it back together

8 -(-27)/5

the two minus become plus so

8 + 27/5

Now we solve it like fractions

8 and 27/5

simplify

13 and 2/5

Hope that helps!

You open a drink stand where you sell coffee and hot chocolate. You sell coffee for $1.80 and hot chocolate for $3.15. At the en

Usimov [2.4K]

Answer:

c = 69 and h = 51

Step-by-step explanation:

You will need two different equations here

use variable c as coffee and variable h as hot chocolate

c + h = 120

1.80c + 3.15h = 284.40

By moving variables, you can alter the first equation

h = 120 - c

Now insert this into the second equation

1.80c + 3.15(120 - c) = 284.40

Multiply

1.80c + 378 - 3.15c = 284.40

Subtract the c

-1.35c + 378 = 284.40

Subtract 378 from both sides

-1.35c = -93.6

Divide both sides by -1.35

c = 69

Then plug into the first equation

69 + h = 120

Subtract 69

h = 51

Answer if you have a big brain 96 POINTS

nordsb [41]

Answer:

1) 2x+7

2) -3x+11

3) 0.75x-2

4) -2x+0

5) -1.5x+2

6) -4x+16

Step-by-step explanation:

1) y = mx + c

m = 2 when x=1 , y=9

9 = 2(1)+c

c = 7

y = 2x + 7

2) m = -3

When x=4, y= -1

-1 = -3(4) + c

c = -1+12 = 11

y = -3x + 11

3) m = 0.75

When x= -4, y= -5

-5 = 0.75(-4) + c

-5 = -3 + c

c = -2

y = 0.75x - 2

4) m = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m = (2-(-6))/(-1-3) = 8/-4 = -2

y = -2x + c

When x= -1, y= 2

2 = -2(-1) + c

2 = 2 + c

c = 0

y = -2x + 0

5) m = (-10-(-4))/(8-4)

m = (-10+4)/4 = -6/4 = -1.5

y = -1.5x + c

When x= 4, y= -4

-4 = -1.5(4) + c

-4 = -6 + c

c = 2

y = -1.5x + 2

6) m = (-4-4)/(5-3) = -8/2 = -4

When x= 3, y= 4

4 = -4(3) + c

4 = -12 + c

c = 16

y = -4x + 16
