Using a system of equations, it is found that initially Ada has $0.385.

For the system, we have that the variables are:

  • x is Ada's amount.
  • y is Betty's amount.
  • z is Chris's amount.
  • w is David's amount.

$45 total, hence:

x + y + z + w = 45

Ada <u>gets 2 from Betty</u>, hence:

x + 2 = y - 2

x = y - 4

y = x + 4

<u>Chris triples</u> his money and <u>David's</u> money is <u>cut by half</u> four of them have the same amount, hence:

x + 4 = y = 3z = \frac{w}{2}

Then:

3z = x + 4

z = \frac{x + 4}{3}

x + 4 = \frac{w}{2}

w = 2x + 8

Solving for w, we find Ada's initial amount.

x + y + z + w = 45

x + x + 4 + \frac{x + 4}{3} + 2x + 8 = 45

4x + 12 + \frac{x + 4}{3} = 45

12x + 36 + x + 4 = 45

13x = 5

x = \frac{5}{13}

x = 0.385

Initially, Ada has $0.385.

What is the slope of the line through (2,5) and (-1,2)?
Luden [163]

Answer:

The slope of the line is m = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope is essentially change in height over change in horizontal distance, and is often referred to as "rise over run." It has applications in gradients in geography as well as civil engineering, such as the building of roads. In the case of a road the "rise" is the change in altitude, while the "run" is the difference in distance between two fixed points, as long as the distance for the measurement is not large enough that the earth's curvature should be considered as a factor. The slope is represented mathematically as:

m = y2-y1 / x2-x1

m = 2 - 5 / -1 - 2

m = -3 / -3

m = 1

X1 is 2

Y1 is 5

X2 is -1

Y2 is 2

<h3>Answer:  9.4 feet</h3>

Work Shown:

sin(angle) = opposite/hypotenuse

sin(22) = x/25

x = 25*sin(22)

x = 9.3651648353978

x = 9.4

Your calculator needs to be in degree mode. One way to check is to compute sin(30) and you should get 0.5 or 1/2.
