At a graduation​ dinner, an equal number of guests was seated at each of 4 large​ tables, and 5 ​late-arriving guests were seate

d at a smaller table. There were 45 guests in all. If n represents the number of people seated at each of the large​ tables, what equation could you use to find the value of​ n?

Answer:

45 - 5 = 4n

Step-by-step explanation:

Because the 5 late guests are late and are seated at the small table, we subtract them from the equation from everyone at the large tables, 45 - 5 to get 40 left. As an equal number of guests are seated at the large tables, we divide 40 by 4, to get n = 10 people at every table.

A dairy needs 357 gallons of milk containing 5% butterfat. How many gallons each of milk containing 7% butterfat and milk contai
IrinaVladis [17]

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  • 238 gallons 7%
  • 119 gallons 1%

Step-by-step explanation:

Let h represent the number of gallons of high butterfat content milk. Then 357-h will be the number of gallons of 1% milk. The total amount of butterfat in the mix is ...

  0.07h +0.01(357 -h) = 0.05(357)

  0.06h = 14.28 . . . . . . . . . . subtract 3.57, collect terms

  h = 238 . . . . . . . . . .  divide by 0.06

  357-h = 357 -238 = 119

238 gallons of 7% and 119 gallons of 1% are needed.

ILL MARK BRAINLIEST ASAP IF CORRECT Write the equation of the quadratic function with roots -9 and and -3 and a vertex at (-6, -
Oduvanchick [21]

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a parabola in vertex form is

y = a(x - h)² + k

where (h. k) are the coordinates of the vertex and a is a multiplier

here (h, k) = (- 6, - 1), thus

y = a(x + 6)² - 1

To find a substitute one of the roots into the equation

Using (- 3, 0), then

0 = a(- 3 +6)² - 1

0 = 9a - 1 ( add 1 to both sides )

1 = 9a ( divide both sides by 9 )

a = \frac{1}{9}, thus

y = \frac{1}{9}(x + 6)² - 1 ← in vertex form

Expand factor and simplify

y = \frac{1}{9} (x² + 12x + 36) - 1 ← distribute

y = \frac{1}{9} x² + \frac{4}{3} x + 4 - 1

  = \frac{1}{9} x² + \frac{4}{3} x + 3 ← in standard form

The graph models the function y = −x2 − x + 6. Which attribute(s) of the graph tell you the root(s) of the function? Determine t
Alex73 [517]
In a graph the roots of the function are given by the cut points with the x axis.
 On the other hand, we have the following equation:
 y = -x2 - x + 6
 To find the roots, we equate to zero:
 -x2 - x + 6 = 0
 Rewriting we have:
 x2 + x - 6 = 0
 (x-2) (x + 3) = 0
 The roots are:
 x1 = 2
 x2 = -3
 Answer:
 
The roots are:
 
x1 = 2
 
x2 = -3

Question 2
S_A_V [24]

Answer: B -8/7x+11/7

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope using teh formule y_{2}-y_1\\x_2-x_1 which is teh formula for slope in this case the slope would be (-8/7) then pick a pair of points in this case we will use (4,-3) plug in the slope and the coordinate pair into the intercept formula (y=mx+b) so it would look like -3=-8/7(4)+b then solve for b so the answer be 8/7x+11/7
