At a bargain store.Tanya bought 5 items that each cost the same amount. Tony bought 6 items that each cost the same amount, but each was $1.75 less than the items that tanya bought. both tanya and Tony paid the same amount of money. what was the individual cost of each person's items?

(A) write an equation. let x represent the cost of one of tanya's items.
(B) solve the equation. show your work
(C) check your solution. show your work
(D) state the solution in complete sentences.

Answers

Answer 1

(A) For x representing the cost of one of Tanya's items, her total purchase cost 5x. The cost of one of Tony's items is then (x-1.75) and the total of Tony's purchase is 6(x-1.75). The problem statement tells us these are equal values. Your equation is ...

... 5x = 6(x -1.75)

(B) Subtract 5x, simplify and add the opposite of the constant.

... 5x -5x = 6x -6·1.75 -5x

... 0 = x -10.50

... 10.50 = x

(C) 5x = 5·10.50 = 52.50

... 6(x -1.75) = 6·8.75 = 52.50 . . . . . the two purchases are the same value

(D) The individual cost of Tanya's iterms was $10.50. The individual cost of Tony's items was $8.75.

Hey mate,

Answer is 1) y = 3/2x+3

Here is your Solution,

slope of line is,

m = {3 - ( -3 )} ÷ {0 - ( -4 )}
= (3+3)÷(0+4)
= 6/4

Therefore, m = 3/2

( Which is Satisfied by 1st Option )

Hope it Helped!

slope = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex] and equation of line is

y = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x + 3

calculate the slope m using the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = 2, 7 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, 3 )

m = [tex]\frac{3-7}{-1-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-4}{-3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]

the equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

calculate m using the gradient formula

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 4, - 3) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, 3 )

m = [tex]\frac{3+3}{0+4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6}{4}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

the line crosses the y-axis at (0, 3 ) hence c = 3

y = [tex]\frac{3}{2}[/tex] x + 3 ← equation of line

Answer:

A.

​Yes, the table shows a probability distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that a sociologist randomly selects single adults for different groups of​ three.  And the random variable x is the number in the group who say that the most fun way to flirt is in person.

Since sample size is only 3, x cannot be more than 3.

So x can take values as 0 1 2 3

Prob distribution is given as

x P(x)

0 0.092

1 0.338

2 0.418

3 0.152

We find that x values are from 0 to 3.  

Each probability is positive but less than 1.

Also total probability = 1

So this is a perfect probability distribution.

​Yes, the table shows a probability distribution.

b) Correct work: (see below)

Step-by-step explanation:

a) When the decimal point is moved to the left in the mantissa, its value is divided by 10 for each place the decimal point is moved. To keep the overall value of the number the same, the power of 10 must be increased to compensate. The increase in the exponent is the number of places the decimal point is moved left.

In this problem, the decimal point is moved 1 place left, so the exponent needs to be increased from 10 to 11.

1. y = 3 x
y = -8x


2. y = - 7x
y =-4x - 12

Answers

1. -8x = 3x

-11x = 0

x= 0

y= 3(0)= 0

(0, 0)

2. -7x = -4x - 12

-3x = -12

x = 4

y = -7(4)= -28

(4, -28)

(1)

both equations express y in term of x, hence equate the right sides

- 8x = 3x ( subtract 3x from both sides )

- 11x = 0 ( divide both sides by - 11 )

x = 0

substitute x = 0 into y = 3x → y = 0

solution is : (x, y ) → (0, 0)

(2)

both equations express y in terms of x, hence equate the right sides

- 4x - 12 = - 7x ( add 7x to both sides )

3x - 12 = 0 ( add 12 to both sides )

3x = 12 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x = 4

substitute x = 4 into y = - 7x → y = - 28

solution is : (x, y ) = (4, - 28 )


if the x-intercept (–68, 0), and the y-intercept (0, –34), what is the equation?

Answers

y = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x - 34

the equation of a line in slope-intercept form is

y = mx + c ( m is the slope and c the y-intercept )

to calculate m use the gradient formula

m = ( y₂ - y₁ ) / (x₂ - x₁ )

with (x₁, y₁ ) = (- 68, 0 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (0, - 34 )

m = [tex]\frac{-34-0}{0+68}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-34}{68}[/tex] = - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

the y-intercept = (0, - 34 ) ⇒ c = - 34

y= - [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] x - 34


Answer:

Y=-.5x-34

Step-by-step explanation:

this is because you can do y2-y1/x2-x1 to get slope


-34/68


Which equals one half so currently


Y=-1/2x


To get the y intercept we can look at the number when x=0 so it would be -34. So here is the equation


Y=-.5x-34

A kite is flying on 39 feet of string. How high is it above the ground if it’s height is 22 feet more than the horizons distance from the person flying it. Assume that the string is being held at ground level.

Answers

Answer:

about 36.3 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the height of the kite in feet. Then (x-22) is the horizontal distance to the kite. The Pythagorean theorem tells you the string length is related to these distances by ...

... 39² = x² + (x-22)²

... 2x² -44x -1037 = 0 . . . . rearrange to standard form

Using the quadratic formula, the positive solution is ...

... x = (-b+√(b²-4ac))/(2a) . . . . for a=2, b=-44, c=-1037

... x = (44 + √((-44)² -4(2)(-1037)))/(2·2)

... x = 11 + √639.5 ≈ 36.288

In other words, inequality is just the opposite of before example 2 =2 then it is equal but if I say 3 =6 then it is wrong the correct expression is 3 < 6.

Celine observed that 80% of patrons at the local library liked reading sci-fi novels. If 35 patrons did not like reading sci-fi novels, how many patrons did enjoy sci-fi novels?

Part A: Write an equation in one variable that can be used to find the total number of patrons at the library? Define the variable used in the equation.

Part B: How many patrons enjoy reading sci-fi novels? Show your work.

Answers

Part A. Let the total number of patrons be x. Then the number of patrons that liked reading sci-fi novels is x-35. Now

x-35 is 80%

35 is 100%-80%=20%.

Mathematically, you can write a proportion:

[tex]\dfrac{x-35}{80}=\dfrac{35}{20},\\ \\x-35=\dfrac{35\cdot 80}{20},\\\\x-35=140,\\\\x=175.[/tex]

Part B. The total nuber of patrons is 175, 35 did not like the sci-fi novels, then 140 liked.


Final answer:

To find the total number of library patrons, set up an equation using the given information. Then, solve the equation to determine the number of patrons who enjoy reading sci-fi novels.

Explanation:

Part A: Let's represent the total number of patrons at the library as 'x'. Since Celine observed that 80% of the patrons liked reading sci-fi novels, we can say that 80% of 'x' patrons enjoy reading sci-fi novels.

Therefore, the equation to find the total number of patrons can be written as: 0.8x = x - 35.

Part B: To find the number of patrons who enjoy reading sci-fi novels, we can solve the equation from Part A. First, let's simplify the equation: 0.8x = x - 35.

Then, we'll subtract 'x' from both sides of the equation: 0.8x - x = -35.

Combining like terms, we have: -0.2x = -35.

Finally, we'll divide both sides of the equation by -0.2 to solve for 'x': x = (-35)/(-0.2).

Plugging in the values, we get: x = 175. Therefore, there are 175 patrons who enjoy reading sci-fi novels.

(Match each number to a letter please!)1. a vascular plant that produces cones to house seeds2. a vascular plant that does not produce seeds3. a short, nonvascular plant that contain rhizoids4. a flowering vascular plant that produces fruit around seedsA. bryophyteB. pteridophyteC. gymnospermD. angiosperm 20 points for half of this page! Please help me out! M is the midpoint of segment AB. Find the coordinates of B given A(-1,3) and M(-3,5). I'd really appreciate it if anyone helped! :)Which statement best explains why y=46x is a function?It is a linear equation.The solutions to the equation can be written as ordered pairs.The slope is a factor of the y-intercept.Each x value has one and only one y value. Nine out of ten student prefer math class over lunch. How many students do not prefer math if 200 students were asked If the activation energy required for a chemical reaction were reduced, what would happen to the rate of the reaction? complete the ordered pairs so they satisfy the equation y=-2x+6 which rhetorical element is strongly evident in this excerpt? Which function passes through the points (2, 15) and (3, 26)? A. y = 11x + 7 B. y = 11x 7 C. y = 7x + 11 D. y = -11x 7 E. y = 7x 11
