The gross weight of a truck containing 30 pigs is 8 tons 1,123 pounds and 6 ounces. The average weight of one pig is 95 pounds 10 ounces. Find the following: a.The net weight of the pigs in the truck. b. The weight of the empty truck.

Answers

Answer:

a) 2868 lbs 12 ozb) 7 tons 254 lbs 10 oz

Step-by-step explanation:

a) There are 16 ounces in a pound, so 10 ounces is 10/16 = 5/8 lb. The total weight of the pigs is their number multiplied by their average weight:

... weight of pigs = 30 × 95 5/8 lb = ((30·95) + (30·5/8)) lb

... = (2850 + 150/8) lb = (2850 +18 3/4) lb = 2868 lb 12 oz

b) The truck tare weight is the gross weight less the weight of the pigs.

... truck tare = truck gross - truck load

... = (8×2000 lb) + (1123 lb) + (6/16 lb) - (2868 3/4 lb)

... = 17123 3/8 lb - 2868 3/4 lb = (17123 -2868) lb +(3/8 -3/4) lb

... = 14255 lb - 3/8 lb

... = 14254 5/8 lb

... = 14000 lb + 254 lb + 5/8 lb

... truck tare weight = 7 tons 254 lbs 10 oz

what is the equation of the line in standard form? please help me I am really having a hard time with this

Answers

Answer:

      -4 - 2

m= --------- (over)

      -1 - 2

Step-by-step explanation:


2x - y = 2

obtain the equation of the line in slope-intercept form

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 ) = (2, 2 ) and (x₂, y₂ ) = (- 1, - 4) ← 2 points on the line

m = [tex]\frac{-4-2}{-1-2}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{-6}{-3}[/tex] = 2

the line crosses the y-axis at (0, - 2 ) ⇒ c = - 2

y = 2x - 2 ← in point-slope form

the equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( A is a positive integer and B, C are integers )

rearrange y = 2x - 2 into this form

subtract y from both sides

0 = 2x - y - 2 ( add 2 to both sides )

2x - y = 2 ← in standard form


If i have a pay rate of $21.00 and marked up 78.7% and made a 10% profit. how did i get $41.28?

Answers

Solution-

The original or cost price of the good = $21.00

Then, it is marked up 78.7%, i.e the price is 78.7% more than the initial price, which in this case is $21.

The new price is,

[tex]21+(21\times \frac{78.7}{100})=\$37.527[/tex]

Then, 10% profit must be earned after selling the good. Hence, the list price must be 10% more of 37.527,

So, the selling or list price is

[tex]37.527+(37.527\times \frac{10}{100})=\$41.279 \approx \$41.28[/tex]

∴ $41.28 is the selling price of the good and this is how you got it.

Which number equals (3)-3?

Answers

Answer:

1/27

Step-by-step explanation:

Its 1/27 because you have to multiply (3)-3,

3 times 3 times 3

that will give you positive 27 so if your on usatestprep its positive  1/27

The number (3)⁻³ equals 1/27, which is the result of taking the reciprocal of 3 raised to the third power.

The question asks which number equals (3)⁻³. The notation (3)-3 indicates that we are dealing with an exponentiation operation, specifically raising the number 3 to the power of -3. To solve this, we'll use the rule that any number raised to a negative exponent is equal to 1 divided by that number raised to the positive exponent. Therefore, (3)⁻³ is equal to 1/(3³).

Now we'll calculate the exponent 3³, which is 3 multiplied by itself three times: 3 x 3 x 3 = 27. So, 1/(3³) is 1/27.

The final answer is therefore (3)⁻³ = 1/27.

What is the value of (a + b) in the system of equations below?

a + b + z = 2

Select one:
A. -5

C. -3
D. -2

Answers

C

given the 2 equations

8(a + b) + 3z = - 9 → (1)

(a + b) + z = 2 → (2)

multiply (2) by 3 so that the coefficients of z are equal

3(a + b) + 3z = 6 → (3)

subtract (1) - (3) to eliminate term in z

5(a + b) = - 15 ( divide both sides by 5 )

(a + b) = - 3 → C

David wants to install a fence around his garden. The garden is rectangular and has an area of 240 square feet. One side of the garden is along the street and is 12 feet long. For this side of the garden, David will use fencing that costs $18 per linear foot. For the other three sides of the garden, David will use fencing that costs $15 per linear foot. What is the total cost of fencing? $756 $996 $1,032

Answers

Answer:

$996

Step-by-step explanation:

The rectangular plot has an area that is the product of its length and width. We are given the width as 12 feet, and the area as 240 ft², so we can find the length from ...

... A = L×W

... 240 ft² = L×(12 ft)

... 240 ft²/(12 ft) = L = 20 ft

Opposite sides of the rectangle are the same length, so the cost of fence for a side of a given length will be the sum of the costs of the opposites sides.

The 12 ft side has one segment that is $18 per foot, and one that is $15 per foot. For the 20 ft sides, both are $15 per foot. Then the total cost can be figured from ...

... (12 ft)·($18/ft + $15/ft) + (20 ft)·($15/ft +$15/ft) = 12·$33 +20·$30 = $996

Factor the quadratic expression completely. 15xˆ2-4x-4

Answers

Answer:

(3x-2)(5x+2)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have to multiply 15 and 4.

then find the factors of this product.

we get,

15 x 4=60

Now, factors of 60 which make 4 are 6 and 10

because   6-10=-4

So,

[tex]15 x^{2}-4x-4\\ =15x^{2} -10x+6x-4\\[/tex]

Now, we have to take common factor pairwise.

Taking 5x as common factor from first pair and 2 from second pair,

we get

[tex]15x^{2} -10x+6x-4\\=5x(3x-2)+2(3x-2)\\=(3x-2)(5x+2)[/tex]

(3x - 2 )(5x + 2 )

consider the factors of the product 15 × - 4 = - 60

which sum to give the coefficient of the middle term ( - 4 )

the factors required are - 10 and + 6

split the x- term using these factors

15x² - 10x + 6x - 4 ( factor by grouping )

= 5x(3x - 2) + 2(3x - 2)

Take out the common factor (3x - 2)

= (3x - 2)(5x + 2)

The first four numbers of a pattern are shown below. What would be the 6th number in the pattern?

0.125, 0.5, 2, 8

Please explain how you got the answer.

Answers

answer:

128

step-by-step explanation:

1. recognize how we get to each number in the pattern

to get from 2 to 8 we can either add 6 or multiply by 4

2. lets see if either of those match up with the rest of the numbers in the pattern

0.125 + 6 = 6.125

our next value is .5 not 6.125

0.125 × 4 = .5

that works! so lets see if it works with the rest of our pattern -

0.5 × 4 = 2

it works! so our pattern is multiplying each value by 4

3. use our pattern on the value of 8

8 × 4 = 32

32 is our 5th value but we are looking for our 6th value

4. use on pattern on the 5th value (32)

32 × 4 = 128

Final answer:

The 6th number in the pattern is calculated by identifying the rule that each number is being multiplied by 4 to get the next one. By continuously applying this rule, we find that the 6th number is 128.

Explanation:

The subject of this question involves the identification and continuation of a numerical pattern. The given pattern is 0.125, 0.5, 2, 8. To recognize this pattern, observe the relationship between consecutive numbers. It seems like each number is being multiplied by 4 to obtain the next one. We can apply the same rule to find the 6th number in the sequence:

Multiply the 4th number (8) by 4 to get the 5th number = 8*4 = 32. Multiply the 5th number (32) by 4 to get the 6th number = 32*4 = 128.

Therefore, the 6th number in the given pattern should be 128.

Which number line represents the solutions to |x + 4| = 2?

Answers

given | x + 4 | = 2

x = 2 - 4 or x = - 2 - 4

x = - 2 and x = - 6 ← solutions

these are indicated on the number line by a solid circle at - 2, - 6


Answer:

The solution is represented by  the first number line, wich has the solutions x=-6 and x=-2.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have an absolute value function for the equation. This means that we should have two differents solution in the real number line. As the equation is

[tex]|x+4|=2[/tex]

when we clear out the absolute value, we will have two possible solutions:

[tex]x+4=2[/tex]

and

[tex]-(x+4)=2[/tex]

now we clear x from both equations

[tex]x+4=2 \Leftrightarrow x=2-4 \Leftrightarrow x=-2[/tex]

[tex]-(x+4)=2 \Leftrightarrow -x-4=2 \Leftrightarrow -2-4=x \Leftrightarrow x=-6[/tex]

Then, we have that x=-2 and x=-4 are the solutions for the equation, and therefore the number line that represents the solution is the first one, where the points -6 and -2 are highlighted.

A cell phone company sold 450 cell phones in three hours. This was 30% of the number of phones sold that day. How many cell phones did the cell phone company sell that day?

Answers

A cell phone company sold 450 cell phones in three hour

450 is 30% of the number of phones sold that day

30% of number of phones = 450

We need to find the number of phones for 100%

Let x be the number of cell phones sold that day

30% of x is 450

[tex]\frac{30}{100} * x= 450[/tex]

multiply by 100 on both sides

30 * x = 45000

Divide by 30

x = 1500

So 1500 cell phones are sold that day


To find the total number of cell phones sold by the company in a day, set up a proportion using the given information and solve for the total number of cell phones sold. In this case, the company sold 15,000 cell phones that day.

A cell phone company sold 450 cell phones in three hours, which was 30% of the phones sold that day. To find the total number of cell phones sold that day, we can set up a proportion:

Let x be the total number of cell phones sold that day.

450/3 = x/100

450 × 100 = 3x

45000 = 3x

x = 15000

Therefore, the cell phone company sold 15,000 cell phones that day.

To find the original price, we can apply the formula for the value of a part, which states that the whole is equal to the part divided by the ratio representing the part. In this case, this gives us the equation $245.97 / (3/5) = Original Price.

To make this easier, we can convert the fraction 3/5 to its decimal form, which is 0.6. So, we will then have $245.97 / 0.6 = Original Price, which should give us the original price of the laptop. Completing the math, we find that the original price of the laptop is $409.95.

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

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

thus y = 4x + 3 ← in slope-intercept form

the equation of a line in point- slope form is

y - b = m(x - a ) ( m is slope and (a, b ) a point on the line )

thus y - 3 = 4 ( x - 0 ) or y - 3 = 4x ← in point- slope form

the equation of a line in standard form is

Ax + By = C ( a is a positive integer and B, C are integers

rearrange y - 3 = 4x into this form

4x - y = - 3 ← in standard form

(12)

y = - 2x - 1 ← in slope-intercept form

y + 1 = - 2x ← in point- slope form

2x + y = - 1 ← in standard form




Last Saturday,the MoviePlex theater sold 1,456 tickets.The theater sold 6 times as many regular price tickets as it sold discount tickets.Earl says that the expression 1,456 divided by 6 gives the correct number of discounted tickets.Is Earl correct?show your work

Answers

Earl is incorrect

let x be the number of discount tickets sold

then the number of regular tickets sold is 6x

the total tickets sold is 1456, thus

x + 6x = 1456

7x = 1456 ( divide both sides by 7 )

x = 208

number of discount tickets sold = 208

[tex]\frac{1456}{6}[/tex] ≠ 208

but [tex]\frac{1456}{7}[/tex] = 208

Earl is incorrect , dividing by 7 gives the amount sold
