Answer: <em>ok so if 60% is under 25 then we can assume 40% is over 25, and then do 40% of 450,000, which is 180,000 .</em>

<em>so we can say that 180,000 people in the town are over 25 years old</em>

To serve 1 person at a local restaurant, it takes 10 minutes. To serve 5 people, it takes 18 minutes. Write and solve an equatio

Answer:

The number of minutes it take to serve 8 person in party is 24 min

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

To serve 1 person at a local restaurant it take 10 minutes

To serve 5 person at a local restaurant it take 18 minutes

So, From given information . it is clear that ,

For ( 1 + n ) person to serve , the time required is ( 10 + 2 n) minutes

Take n = 1 , For ( 1 + 1 ) person to serve , the time required is ( 10 + 2×1) min

I.e for 2 person to serve , time required is 12 min

Take n = 2 , For ( 1 + 2 ) person to serve , the time required is ( 10 + 2×2)min

I.e for 2 person to serve , time required is 14 min

Similarly for n = 7

For ( 1 + 7 ) person to serve , the time required is ( 10 + 2×7) min

I.e For 8 person to serve , the time required is 24 min

Hence The number of minutes it take to serve 8 person in party is 24 min Answer

The line y=15x Intersex the quadratic function y=15x^2 at two points. what are the coordinates of the two points of intersection

REY [17]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

we can set up the equation as 15x = 15x^2

factoring we get

15x(x-1) = 0

So the solutions are when x are 0 and 1

this gives the coordinates

(0,0) and (1,15)

If 3 3/4 lb. of candy cost $20.25, how much would 1 lb. of candy cost.

Jet001 [13]

3 3/4 lb of candy costs $ 20.25

we have been given a mixed fraction with both whole number and fraction

so lets convert it an improper fraction

3 3/4

3 wholes are equivalent to $3*\frac{4}{4} = \frac{12}{4}$

then 3 3/4 is - $\frac{12}{4} + \frac{3}{4} = \frac{15}{4}$

so 15/4 lbs -- $ 20.25

then 1 lb is -- $\frac{20.25}{15/4} = \frac{20.25*4}{15} = \frac{81}{15} = 5.4$

therefore 1 lb is equal to $ 5.40

The slope of a line is -4 and it’s y-intercept is (0,4) what is the equation of the line that is perpendicular to the first line

Rasek [7]

Original line equation: y=-4x+4

Perpendicular lines have opposite reciprocals, so the slope of the perpendicular line would be 1/4x.

Perpendicular line equation: y=1/4x+b

Plug in the coordinates that the line passes through to solve for b. Plug -8 in for x and 2 in for y.

2=1/4(-8)+b

Multiply.

2=-2+b

Add 2 to both sides.

4=b

Equation of the perpendicular line: y=1/4x+4

Hope this helps! :)

What equation represents the line that passes through the points (-3 7 and (3 3?

dexar [7]

<span>Hello : let A(-3,7) B(3,3)
the slope is : (YB - YA)/(XB -XA)
(3-7)/(3+3) = -2/3
an equation is : y=ax+b a is a slope</span>

y = (-2/3)x +b

the line through point B (3,3) : 3 = (-2/3)(3)+b<span>
<span>b =5
the equation is : y =(-2/3)x+5</span></span>
