Answer:

6x+20=5x+25

5 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the days that they have the same amount of signatures

We know Anna has 20 currently and gets 6 per day, so we can use y=mx+b to describe her linear relationship.

We also know that Sam has 25 and gets 5 per day, so we can again use y=mx+b to describe his linear relationship.

Since both equations equal the variable y, we can say they equal each other and set up 6x+20=5x+25.

Then you subtract 20 from both sides and subtract 5x, so you are left with x =5, or 5 days until they have the same amount of signatures

Hope this made sense :D

Answer:

61.25 M

Step-by-step explanation:

the question is trying to mislead you with the blue amount, you are only looking for the amount of white needed.

this means you multiply 1.75 (1 3/4) times 35 sets, getting you 61.25 M

There are 53 regular pencils in the box and some colored pencils in the box. There are a total of 84 pencils. How many colored p

vodka [1.7K]

Let be "x" the number of colored pencils in the box.

According to the information given in the exercise, there are 84 pencils in the box and 53 of them are regular pencils.

Knowing this information, you can set up the following equation:

$x+53=84$

Finally, you have to solve for the variable "x" in order to find its value. In order to do this, you can apply the Subtraction property of equality by subtracting 53 from both sides of the equation:

$\begin{gathered} x+53-(53)=84-(53) \\ x=31 \end{gathered}$

The answer is: There are 31 colored pencils in the box.

Which choice is equivalent to the expression below when y2 0?<br> √y^2 + √16y^3 – 4y√y

DanielleElmas [232]

Answer:

Option C.

Step-by-step explanation:

We start with the expression:

$\sqrt{y^3} + \sqrt{16*y^3} - 4*y\sqrt{y}$

where y > 0. (this allow us to have y inside a square root, so we don't mess with complex numbers)

We want to find the equivalent expression to this one.

Here, we can do the next two simplifications:

$\sqrt{16*y^3} = \sqrt{16} \sqrt{y^3} = 4*\sqrt{y^3}$

And:

$y*\sqrt{y} = \sqrt{y^2} *\sqrt{y} = \sqrt{y^2*y} = \sqrt{y^3}$

If we apply these two to our initial expression, we can rewrite it as:

$\sqrt{y^3} + \sqrt{16*y^3} - 4*y\sqrt{y}$

$\sqrt{y^3} + 4*\sqrt{y^3} - 4\sqrt{y^3} = \sqrt{y^3}$

Here we can use the second simplification again, to rewrite:

$\sqrt{y^3} = y*\sqrt{y}$

So, concluding, we have:

$\sqrt{y^3} + \sqrt{16*y^3} - 4*y\sqrt{y} = y*\sqrt{y}$

Then the correct option is C.

The first three terms of a sequence are given. Round to the nearest thousandth (if

andrey2020 [161]

The 34th term of the sequence 158, 155, 152 ...... is 59

The sequence is as follows:

158, 155, 152 ......

let

a = first term = 158

d = common difference = 155 - 158 = -3

Using Arithmetic progression formula, let's find the 34th term as follows:

aₙ = a + (n - 1)d

a₃₄ = 158 + (34 - 1)-3

a₃₄ = 158 + (33)(-3)

a₃₄ = 158 - 99

a₃₄ = 59

Therefore, the 34th term of the sequence is 59.
