Lisa is selling candles and soaps or a fundraiser. She sells a total of 24 items for a total of $112. If the candles sold for $4

each and the soap sold for $5 each, how many of each did she sell?

8 candles and 16 bars of soap.

You can solve this by setting up a system of equations.

x + y = 24
4x + 5y = 112

What is the equation of the line that passes through the point 4, -6 and has a slope of -3

zheka24 [161]

Y = mx + b. Use this equation for most linear functions. Enter the information that is given to you.
$- 6 = - 3(4) + b$
Multiply the -3 and 4 to get 12.
$-6 = - 12 + b$
Now divide the -12 from both sides.
$\frac{ - 6}{ - 12} = \frac{ - 12}{ - 12} + b$
-12 cancels out on the right side and your left with
$- \frac {1}{2} = b$
Now re-enter the info back into the formula.
$y = - 3x - \frac{1}{2}$
Then you've got your formula

A baker is building a rectangular solid box from cardboard to be able to safely deliver a birthday cake. The baker wants the vol

k0ka [10]

The length of the rectangular delivery box must be equal to 4 inches.

Let the length of the box be L.

Let the width of the box be W.

Let the height of the box be H.

<u>Given the following data:</u>

Volume of box = 224 cubic inches.

Translating the word problem into an algebraic expression;

$W = 3 + L$ ......equation 1

$H = 4 + L$ ......equation 2.

Mathematically, the volume of a rectangular solid is given by the formula;

$Volume = length * width * height$ .....equation 3.

Substituting the values into equation, we have;

$224 = L * (3 + L) * (4 + L)\\\\224 = (3L + L^{2})* (4 + L)\\\\224 = 12L + 3L^{2} + 4L^{2} + L^{3} \\\\224 = 12L + 7L^{2} + L^{3}$

Rearranging the polynomial, we have;

$L^{3} + 7L^{2} + 12L - 224 = 0$

We would apply the remainder theorem to solve the polynomial.

According to the remainder theorem, if a polynomial P(x) is divided by (x - r) and there is a remainder R; then P(r) = R.

When x = 3

$(x - 3) = 0\\x = 3$

$P(3) = 3^{3} + 7(3^{2}) + 12(3) - 224\\\\P(3) = 27 + 7(9) + 36 - 224\\\\P(3) = 27 + 63 + 36 - 224 = -98 \neq 0$

We would try with 4;

$P(4) = 4^{3} + 7(4^{2}) + 12(4) - 224\\\\P(4) = 64 + 7(16) + 48 - 224\\\\P(4) = 64 + 112 + 48 - 224\\\\P(4) = 224 - 224 = 0$

Therefore, 4 is one of its roots.

Hence, the length of the rectangular delivery box must be equal to 4 inches.

Rectangle ABCD has vertices at (-7,-2); (1, -2); (1, -8); and (-7, -8) respectively. If GHJK is a similar rectangle where G(2, 5

Gennadij [26K]

Answer:

Points J and K could be located at:

J(2,2)

K(6,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Consider the vertices have a x and y coordinate:

A: x coordinate=-7 y coordinate=-2

B: x coordinate=1 y coordinate=-2

C: x coordinate=1 y coordinate=-8

D: x coordinate=-7 y coordinate=-8

G: x coordinate=2 y coordinate=5

H: x coordinate=6 y coordinate=5

Then it is possible to calculate the distance between the x and y coordinates:

x coordinate of Vertices AB:

x coordinate of B- x coordinate of A=1-(-7)=8

The distance between A and B is 8

y coordinate of Vertices AC:

y coordinate of A- y coordinate of C=-2-(-8)=6

The distance between A and C is 6

Then we know that the side AB of Rectangle ABCD measures 8 and the side AC, measures 6.

Repeat the analysis with Rectangle GHJK. In this case, is only possible to calculate the distance with x coordinate.

x coordinate of Vertices GH:

x coordinate of H- x coordinate of G=6-(2)=4

The distance between G and H is 4

We can see that the distance in x of the Rectangle ABCD is 8, and the distance in x of the Rectangle GHJK is 4, it means that <em>the measure of ABCD is twice GHJK.</em>

Then, if the distance in y coordinate of Vertices AC is 6, we could say that the distance in<em> y coordinate of Vertices GJ is 3.</em>

A newspaper editor starts a retirement savings plan in which $225 per month is deposited at the beginning of each month into an

qwelly [4]

Answer: the value of this investment after 20 years is $112295.2

Step-by-step explanation:

We would apply the formula for determining future value involving deposits at constant intervals. It is expressed as

S = R[{(1 + r)^n - 1)}/r][1 + r]

Where

S represents the future value of the investment.

R represents the regular payments made(could be weekly, monthly)

r = represents interest rate/number of interval payments.

n represents the total number of payments made.

From the information given,

Since there are 12 months in a year, then

r = 0.066/12 = 0.0055

n = 12 × 20 = 240

R = $225

Therefore,

S = 225[{(1 + 0.0055)^240 - 1)}/0.0055][1 + 0.0055]

S = 225[{(1.0055)^240 - 1)}/0.0055][1.0055]

S = 225[{(3.73 - 1)}/0.0055][1.0055]

S = 225[{(2.73)}/0.0055][1.0055]

S = 225[496.36][1.0055]

S = $112295.2

This diagram shows triangles ABC and PQR.

Stels [109]

Answer:

<h3>A reflection across the line x=3, a reflection across the x-axis and a dilation with a scale factor of 2, because each side is double.</h3><h3>Step-by-step explanation:</h3>

We know that the first transfomration is a rotation 90° clockwise.

Notice that vertex R is at the same horizontal coordinate than vertex C, which means the second transformation must include a reflection across the line x=3, a reflection across the x-axis and a dilation with a scale factor of 2, because each side is double.
