Answer:

width=x, length = y

(in ft)

3x + 2y = 6y>x

y = 1.5 , x= 1

1ft = 12 in 1.5ft = 18in

They are all pretty easy all you do is multiply the cost by the amount of things you buy. For example number 4 your variables are cost (c) and songs (s). Your equation is c•s so $0.99 • s. 50 songs would be .99 • 50 which is $49.50

Megan and Heidi are making cookies for an upcoming bake sale. Megan is making chocolate chip cookies and Heidi is making sugar c

koban [17]

Answer:

Heidi (260 cookies)

Step-by-step explanation:

Megan's equation is given as y=8x, where x is the number of bags, and y the number of cookies:

#First calculate Heidi's total number of bags, cookies and cookies:

$H_b=\sum{bags}\\\\=10+12+14+16\\\\=52 \ bags\\\\H_c=\sum{cookies}\\\\=50+60+70+80\\\\=260 \ cookies$

#Given that both Heidi and Megan make the same number of bags of cookies, Megan's cookies totals to:

$H_b=M_B=52 \ Bags\\\\M_c=y=8x, x=52\\\\y=8\times 52\\\\=416\\$

Hence, Megan makes 416 cookies.

#From our calculations:

$416>260\\\\M_c>H_c$

Hence, Heidi makes the least number of cookies(260 cookies) compared to Megan's 416 cookies.

Triangle G F E is cut by line segment H J. Line segment H J goes from side G E to F E. The length of G F is 4 x minus 4, the len

alexira [117]

Answer:

HJ = 8 JE = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

it is given that H is the midpoint of GE and J is the midpoint of FE. According to the midpoint theorem the line segment connecting the midpoint of two sides is parallel to the three side and its length is half of the third side. since JH is connecting the midpoints.

HJ= 1/2 (GF)

x + 3 = 1/2 (4x - 4)

x + 3 = 2x - 2

x = 5

^ Thus meaning the value of x is 5.

Now you just fill into your equations:

HJ = x + 3 = (5) + 3 = 8

JE = x - 1 = (5) - 1 = 4

Therefore, HJ = 8; JE = 4.
