Answer:

one-quarter times the number of pears, plus four and one-half is forty-four and one-half

Step-by-step explanation:

The total weight (44.5 lb) will be the sum of the empty weight (4.5 lb) and the number of pears multiplied by the pear's weight. That can be expressed as ...

one-quarter times the number of pears, plus four and one-half is forty-four and one-half

Katie earned $1890 in 7 years on an investment at a 6% annual simple interest rate.

n200080 [17]

Her investment was $4500. To get this, you take 1890 and divide it by 7, giving you 270. This is 6% of 4500. To prove this, you would multiply 4500 by .06, giving the answer of 270, which can then be multiplied by 7 (years) to equal $1890.

Using the given information, give the vertex form equation of each parabola.

WITCHER [35]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you plot these points on a coordinate plane, you will see that they both lie on the same horiztonal line, y = -10, with the focus 1/4 to the right of the vertex. This information tells you a ton of stuff. First, it tells you that, since a parabola "hugs" the focus, this parabola opens to the right and is of the form x = y-squared. This equation is

$4p(x-h)=(y-k)^2$

The information also tells us that p (the distance between the vertex and the focus) is .25. h is the "x" coordinate of the vertex and k is the "y" coordinate of the vertex, so h = -1, and k = -10. Filling in our formula:

$4(.25)(x+1)=(y+10)^2$

Simplify the left to

$1(x+1)=(y+10)^2$ and solve for x:

$x=(y+10)^2-1$

Solve algebraically <br> 8x + 4y = 48<br> 12x + 5y = 21

Lorico [155]

Answer:

$x=-\frac{39}{2}\\ y=51$

Step-by-step explanation:

$8x+4y=48\\12x+5y=21$

Let's solve the first equation for x or y. I'll do it for y.

$8x+4y=48$

Subtract 8x

$4y=-8x+48$

Divide by 4.

$y=-\frac{8}{4}x+\frac{48}{4}\\$

Simplify.

$y=-2x+12$

Now replace the value of y in the second equation for this.

$12x+5y=21\\12x+5(-2x+12)=21$

Distribute 5

$12x-10x+60=21$

Subtract 60

$12x-10x=21-60$

Combine like terms;

$2x=-39$

Divide by 2.

$x=-\frac{39}{2}$

Now replace this in any of the equations to find the value of y.

$8x+4y=48\\8(-\frac{39}{2})+4y=48\\$

8 and 2 can be simplified.

8/2=4

2/2=1

$4(-39)+4y=48$

Distribute 4.

$-156+4y=48$

Add 156

$4y=48+156\\4y=204$

Divide by 4

$y=\frac{204}{4}$

$y=51$

Proof:

$8x+4y=48\\8(-\frac{39}{2} )+4(51)=48\\4(-39)+204=48\\-156+204=48\\48=48$
