A carpenter has several boards of equal length. He cuts 3/5 of each board. After cutting the boards, the carpenter notices that he has enough pieces left over to make up the same length as 4 of the original boards. How many boards did the carpenter start with?

Answers

Answer 1
To answer his question you will consider that you have 4 whole pieces. If the remaining part is 2/5 (1 - 3/5 = 2/5), that you will need to figure out how many groups of 2/5 it takes to make 4. You get this answer by dividing 4 by 2/5. The answer is 10. You started with 10 pieces.

find the discriminant, describe the types of roots, and find the solution for 3x^2-24x+12

Answers

The discriminant of a polynomial is given by:
 b ^ 2-4ac
 Substituting the values we have:
 (-24) ^ 2-4 * (3) * (12) = 432
 Since the discriminator is greater than zero, then the roots are real.
 x = (- b +/- root (b ^ 2-4ac)) / (2a)
 Substituting the values:
 x = (- (- 24) +/- root (432) / (2 * (3))
 x = (- (- 24) +/- root (432) / (2 * (3))
 x = (- (- 24) +/- root (144 * 3) / (2 * (3))
 x = (24 +/- 12raiz (3) / (6)
 x = 4 +/- 2raiz (3)
 The roots are:
 x1 = 4 + 2raiz (3)
 x2 = 4 - 2raiz (3)
 Answer: 
 432
 the roots are real.
 
x1 = 4 + 2raiz (3)
 
x2 = 4 - 2raiz (3)

Find the PERIMETER of this triangle

Answers

First we need to find the missing side, use

[tex]a = \sqrt{ {c}^{2} - {b}^{2} } [/tex]
So the missing leg = the sqrt of the hypotenuse squared minus the other leg squared.

Let's substitute the numbers,

[tex]a = \sqrt{ {10}^{2} - {6}^{2} } [/tex]
Solve for the squares,

[tex]a = \sqrt{100 - 36} [/tex]
Subtract,

[tex]a = \sqrt{64} [/tex]
Solve for the root,

[tex]a = 8[/tex]
~~

So our missing length is 8.

To find the perimeter of the triangle, simply add all the sides....

Answer:  The perimeter of the triangle given is:  " 24 units " . 
______________________________________________________
Explanation:
______________________________________________________
        To find the perimeter of the triangle, we add up the lengths of
  all 3 (THREE) sides of the triangle; and we have the answer!
______________________________________________________
The triangle given is a "right triangle.

We are given the length of 2 (TWO) of the sides:  "6 units" ; and "10 units (the length of the hypotenuse). 
___________________________________________________________
We can find the "unknown side length" by using the "Pythagorean theorem" (since this is a "right trangle"):

       →   a²  +  b²  = c²  ;  

                          in which : "c" is the hypotenuse; which is:  "10" (given); 

Let "b" represent the known side length, which is "6" (given). 

Solve for "a" (the "unknown" side length).

         →  a²  +  6²  =  10²  ;   Solve for "a" ;

         →  a²  =  10²  –  6²  = 100 – 36 = 64 .

         ↔  a² = 64 . 

Now, take the positive square root of each side of the equation; 
      to isolate "a" on one side of the equation; & to solve for "a" ; 

         →   ⁺√(a²) = √64 ; 

         → a = 8 .
__________________________________________________
Now, to find the "perimeter" of the triangle, we add up all of the side lengths:

   6 + 8 + 10 =  14 + 10 = 24
__________________________________________________
Answer:  The perimeter of the triangle given is:  " 24 units " .

X^2 -9X = 0. Factor and use the Zero property to solve

Answers

The first step of factoring is to try to factor out a common factor.
The terms x^2 and -9x have the factor x in common.
Factor out x from both terms.

x^2 - 9x = 0

x(x - 9) = 0

Now you have a product of fully factored terms equaling zero, so you can apply the zero product property to solve.

x = 0   or   x - 9 = 0

x = 0   or   x = 9

Answer: x = 0 or x = 9

In which set do all of the values make the inequality 2x-1<10 true ? A)10-15-20. B)5-7-9 C)4-6-8. D)2-3-4

Answers

D is true
[tex]2x - 1 < 10 \\ 2 \times (2) - 1 = 3 \\ 2 \times (3) - 1 = 5 \\ 2 \times (4) - 1 = 7[/tex]

Answer:

Hence, the set of values that holds true is:

2-3-4

Hence, option: D is true.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are asked to find which set of the values make the following inequality:

2x-1<10 true.

i..e we will put the given set of value s in place of xx and check whether the value of 2x-1 is less than 10 or not.

If it is then the set of values hold true.

A)

10-15-20

put x=10

2x-1=2×10-1

      =20-1

        =19 which is not less than 10.

Hence, option: A is incorrect.

B)

5-7-9

when x=9

2x-1=2×9-1

     =18-1

     =17 which is not less than 10.

Hence, option: B is incorrect.

C)

4-6-8

when x=8

2x-1=2×8-1

     =16-1

     =15 which is again not less than 10

Hence, option: C is incorrect.

D)

2-3-4

when x=2

2x-1=2×2-1

     =4-1

    =3<10

when x=3

2x-1=2×3-1

     =6-1

     =5 < 10

when x=4

2x-1=2×4-1

     =8-1

     =7<10

Hence, option: D is true.

Hence, the set of values that holds true is:

2-3-4

The sales commission is 10% at an electronics store. How much does Saul have to sell in 22 hours to earn $12.50 per hour from commission? Explain.

Answers

125 dollars worth of tech
because since it is 10 a ten percent commision you can just move the decimal or 
because 12.5 multiplied by ten would equal 125 (you would multiply by ten in order to regain what you had before they gave you the amount of commission


Final answer:

Saul needs to sell $2,750 worth of electronics in 22 hours to earn $12.50 per hour from a 10% sales commission.

Explanation:

To calculate how much Saul has to sell in 22 hours to earn $12.50 per hour from commission at a rate of 10%, we first determine his total earnings from commission over the 22 hours. So we multiply $12.50 by 22 hours, which gives us $275. Now, because the commission is 10%, we can write a simple equation where the total sales (which we'll call S) multiplied by 10% (or 0.10) equals $275.

The equation looks like this: S × 0.10 = $275. To solve for S, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.10: S = $275 / 0.10, which results in S = $2,750. Therefore, Saul has to sell $2,750 worth of electronics in 22 hours to earn an hourly wage of $12.50 from commission.

Solve for x and y using elimination.
5x+2y=17
x-2y=8


Answers

On both equations, you have a similar term, but with opposite sign: 2y

Applying elimination means to add the two equations:
(5x + x) + (2y - 2y) = (17 + 8)

Making calculations, you get:
6x = 25
Therefore: x = 25/6

You can now substitute this value in either one of the original equations, after solving for y:
x - 2y = 8 
-2y = 8 - x
2y = x - 8
y = (x - 8) / 2

y = ((25/6) - 8) / 2 = ( - 23/6) / 2 = -23/12

Therefore:
x = 25/6
y = -23/12

The value of an autographed baseball card increased from $39 to $65. What is the percent increase in value of the baseball card? Round to the nearest hundredth of a percent

Answers

The percent increase is found by finding the difference between the two prices and then dividing that different by the beginning price.

For this example it would be 65-39= $26. So $26/$39(the starting price) is 0.666... This is equivalent to about 66.67%. So, the price of the card increased by about 66.67%

Answer:

The percent increase in value of the baseball card is 66.667%

Step-by-step explanation:

You must first determine the amount of money increased by the value of an autographed baseball card.  For this you must subtract the price with the applied increase and the original price of the card: $65-$39=$26

This will be the amount of increase. Then, one way to calculate the percentage increase in the value of the baseball card is through a direct rule of three.

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three. Remember that proportionality is a constant relationship or ratio between different magnitudes.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, that is, when one magnitude increases, so does the other  (Or when one magnitude decreases, so does the other), the direct rule of three must be applied. To solve a direct rule of three, the following formula must be followed:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

Then

[tex]x=\frac{c*b}{a}[/tex]

In this case, the rule of three applies as follows: If the original price ($ 39) represents 100%, what is the value of the percentage in the value of the baseball card when its value increases $ 26?

[tex]percentage=\frac{26*100}{39}[/tex]

percentage=66.667%

Another way of thinking about it is considering that:

change from the original price = percentage of change*original price

In this case: $26=percentage of change*$39

So, isolating the percentage of change you get:

[tex]percentage of change=\frac{26}{39} =0.66667[/tex]

This value is expressed in decimal, and for it to be expressed in fraction you must multiply it by 100 (100%). Then you get:

percentage of change=0.66667*100%

percentage of change=66.667%

Note that the value obtained is the same as in the previous case, so both ways of thinking the solution to this problem is correct

Finally, the percent increase in value of the baseball card is 66.667%

A triangle undergoes a sequence of transformations. First, the triangle is dilated by a scale factor of 1/2 about the origin. Then the triangle is reflected over the x-axis. Finally, the triangle is translated left 2 units and up 4 units. How does the newly formed triangle compare to the original triangle?

What is Dilation?

Dilation is a process for creating similar figures by changing the size.

What is graph?

A graph can be defined as a pictorial representation or a diagram that represents data or values.

What is scale image?

Scale image is defined as a ratio that represents the relationship between the shape and size of a figure and the corresponding dimensions on the actual figure or object.

Transformation is the movement of a point from its initial location to a new location. Types of transformation include translation, reflection, rotation and dilation.

If a point A(x, y) is dilated by a factor p, the new point is at A'(px, py).

If a point A(x, y) is reflected over the x-axis, the new point is at A'(x, -y).

If a point A(x, y) is translated a units left and b units up, the new point is at A'(x - a, y + b).
