The rule for the number of fish in a home aquarium is 1 gallon of water for each inch of fish length. Marta's aquarium holds 39

gallons of water and Hank's aquarium hold 51 gallons of water. The aquarium holds two types of fish, fish A and fish B. If Marta bought 3 of fish A and 2 of fish B, and Hank bought 3 of fish A and 4 of fish B, how long is fish A and how long is fish B?

Answer: Fish A: 9 inches ; Fish B: 6 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

This can be turned into a systems of equation, where x equals the length of fish A and y equals the length of fish B:

3x + 2y = 39 → -3x - 2y = -39

3x + 4y = 51 → 3x +4y = 51

Combine: 0 + 2y = 12 → y = 6 inches.

Plug back in: 3x + 2(6) = 39 → 3x = 27 → x = 9 inches.

Triangle ABC has vertices A(0,6) B(4,6) C(1,3). Sketch a graph of ABC and use it to find the orthocenter of ABC. Then list the s
Allisa [31]

For line B to AC:  y - 6 = (1/3)(x - 4);  y - 6 = (x/3) - (4/3); 3y - 18 = x - 4, so 3y - x = 14

For line A to BC:  y - 6 = (-1)(x - 0);  y - 6 = -x, so y + x = 6

Since these lines intersect at one point (the orthocenter), we can use simultaneous equations to solve for x and/or y:

(3y - x = 14) + (y + x = 6) =>  4y = 20, y = +5;  Substitute this into y + x = 6:  5 + x = 6, x = +1

<span>So the orthocenter is at coordinates (1,5), and the slopes of all three orthocenter lines are above.</span>

Need help with this, simple but I don't understand/remember how to do it.
Lorico [155]

By using definition of proportionality and Pythagorean theorem, the values of x and y associated with the geometrical system formed by two right triangles are 36 / 5 and 104 / 5, respectively.

<h3>How to analyze a geometrical system formed by two proportional right triangles</h3>

Herein we find a picture of a geometrical system formed by two proportional right triangles with two variables: {x, y} These variables can be found by using the definition of proportionality and the Pythagorean theorem:

5 / 8 = 12 / (12 + x) = 13 / y

Then, we proceed to solve the system formed by two equations:

(12 + x) / 12 = 8 / 5

12 + x = 96 / 5

x = 96 / 5 - 12

x = 36 / 5

y / 13 = 8 / 5

y = 104 / 5

By using definition of proportionality and Pythagorean theorem, the values of x and y associated with the geometrical system formed by two right triangles are 36 / 5 and 104 / 5, respectively.

A father is 32 years older than his son. In four years,
sergiy2304 [10]

Answer:

  • father: 36
  • son: 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the son's age now. Then s+32 is the father's age. In 4 years, we have ...

  5(s+4) = (s+32)+4

  5s +20 = s +36 . . . . . eliminate parentheses

  4s = 16 . . . . . . . . . . . . subtract s+20

  s = 4

The son is now 4 years old; the father, 36.

_____

<em>Alternate solution</em>

In 4 years, the ratio of ages is ...

  father : son = 5 : 1

The difference of their ages at that time is 5-1 = 4 "ratio units". Since the difference in ages is 32 years, each ratio unit must stand for 32/4 = 8 years. That is, the future age ratio is ...

  father : son = 40 : 8

So, now (4 years earlier), the ages must be ...

  father: 36; son: 4.

As used in line 53, "dominion" most nearly means
drek231 [11]

Choice B - Supremacy

As used in line 53, "dominion" most nearly means supremacy.

In the first paragraph of Passage 2, when discussing changing social relations, Mill writes that in her time there was "a just equality, instead of the supremacy of the strongest." In this context of a society where some once had much more power than others, the word "dominion" almost means superiority or greater power.

Choices A, C, and D are incorrect because, in the context of a paragraph discussing differences in the amount of power members of a society have, "dominion" means dominion or greater power, not omnipotence or the state of being all-powerful (choice A), possession ( choice C) or territory (choice D).
