Answer:
1849 handles
Step-by-step explanation:
Break Even is the point when costs = profit
Since each handle takes $0.20 to make (cost) and they sell it for ($4.20), the profit from each handle is:
Profit = 4.20 - 0.20 = $4
The weekly costs are $7396. Break even would mean to gain this amount from selling handles (profit).
So, from each handle, we get $4 and to make $7396, we would need:
7396/4 = 1849 handles

The expressions that are equivalent to [tex]\( \log 2 - \log 6 \)[/tex] are options A and C.
The correct option is (A&C).
To solve [tex]\( \log 2 - \log 6 \)[/tex], we can use the property of logarithms that states:
[tex]\[ \log_b(a) - \log_b(c) = \log_b\left(\frac{a}{c}\right) \][/tex]
Given [tex]\( \log 2 - \log 6 \)[/tex], applying the above property:
[tex]\[ \log 2 - \log 6 = \log\left(\frac{2}{6}\right) = \log\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) \][/tex]
So, the expression \[tex]( \log 2 - \log 6 \)[/tex] is equivalent to [tex]\( \log\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) \)[/tex], which matches option C.
Now, let's check the other options:
A. [tex]\( \log(2) + \log\left(\frac{1}{6}\right) \)[/tex]
This expression can be simplified using the properties of logarithms to [tex]\( \log\left(2 \times \frac{1}{6}\right) = \log(1/3) \),[/tex] which is equivalent to the original expression. So, option A is also correct.
B. [tex]\( \log 2 \)[/tex]
This option is not equivalent to the original expression. It only represents [tex]\( \log 2 \),[/tex] not the difference of [tex]\( \log 2 \) and \( \log 6 \).[/tex]
D. [tex]\( \log 3 \)[/tex]
This option is not equivalent to the original expression. It only represents [tex]\( \log 3 \)[/tex], which is unrelated to the expression [tex]\( \log 2 - \log 6 \).[/tex]
So, the expressions that are equivalent to [tex]\( \log 2 - \log 6 \)[/tex] are options A and C.

When you isolate the variable, the goal is to get the variable
A
to equal 1.
B
on both sides of the equal sign to show they are equal.
C
by itself on one side of the equal sign and a value on the other.
D
by itself on one side of the equal sign and zero on the other side.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
For example
[tex]y = 77 \\[/tex]
The answer is C: by itself on one side of the equal sign and a value on the other.
Let's go through the detailed steps of isolating the variable with each option in mind.
Option: C - by itself on one side of the equal sign and a value on the other.
Given equation:[tex]\(3x + 7 = 16\)[/tex]
Step 1: Identify the Variable
The variable in the equation is [tex]\(x\).[/tex] We want to isolate [tex]\(x\)[/tex] to find its value.
Step 2: Isolate Terms with the Variable
Move terms containing the variable to one side of the equation. Here, we'll move [tex]\(3x\)[/tex] to the left side by subtracting [tex]\(7\)[/tex] from both sides:
[tex]\[3x + 7 - 7 = 16 - 7\][/tex]
This simplifies to:
[tex]\[3x = 9\][/tex]
Now, the term [tex]\(3x\)[/tex] is isolated on the left side of the equation.
Step 3: Perform Inverse Operations to Isolate the Variable
Since [tex]\(x\)[/tex] is being multiplied by [tex]\(3\),[/tex] to isolate [tex]\(x\),[/tex] we divide both sides by [tex]\(3\):[/tex]
[tex]\[\frac{3x}{3} = \frac{9}{3}\][/tex]
This simplifies to:
[tex]\[x = 3\][/tex]
Now, the variable [tex]\(x\)[/tex] is isolated on the left side of the equation, and its value is [tex]\(3\).[/tex]
By following these detailed steps, we have successfully isolated the variable [tex]\(x\)[/tex] on one side of the equal sign and a specific value (option C) on the other side, demonstrating equality between the two sides of the equation.

What is the sum of the solutions of x2 + 9x + 20 = 0?
What is the product (or multiplication) of the solutions of 6x2 + 7x = 3?
Answer:
Sum of the solutions of [tex]x^2+9x+20=0[/tex] is -9.
Product of the solutions of [tex]6x^2+7x=3[/tex] is [tex]-0.50[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
1. [tex]x^2+9x+20=0[/tex]
Given:
The expression whose sum of the solution is required is given as:
[tex]x^{2} +9x+20=0[/tex]
For a quadratic equation of the form [tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex] the sum of the solutions is given as:
Sum = [tex]\frac{-b}{a}[/tex]
Here, [tex]a=1,b=9,c=20[/tex]
Therefore, the sum of the solutions = [tex]-\frac{9}{1}=-9[/tex]
2. [tex]6x^2+7x=3[/tex]
Rewriting the above equation in a standard quadratic equation, we get:
[tex]6x^2+7x-3=0[/tex]
For a quadratic equation of the form [tex]ax^2+bx+c=0[/tex] the product of the solutions is given as:
Product = [tex]\frac{c}{a}[/tex]
Here, [tex]a=6,b=7,c=-3[/tex]
Therefore, the product of the solutions = [tex]\frac{-3}{6}=-0.50[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
Megan and molly have an age gap of 6 years. Megan is older. If molly is 8 years old, then how old is Megan?
Answer:
Megan is 14
Step-by-step explanation:
Megan is M
Molly is Mo
Mo = 8
M = x
6 + mo = x
6 + 8 = 14
If Molly is 8 years old and there is a 6-year age gap between her and Megan, then Megan must be 6 years older than Molly.
Therefore, Megan is 8 + 6 = 14 years old.
This age gap of 6 years means that Megan was born 6 years before Molly.
Age gaps are calculated by subtracting the younger person's age from the older person's age.
It's important to note that Megan is the older of the two, and the age difference remains constant as they both get older.
Understanding age differences is essential in various contexts, from family dynamics to social relationships and legal matters.
In this case, it's a straightforward calculation, but age gaps can have significant implications in more complex situations, such as legal age requirements, generational differences, and even compatibility in personal relationships.
In this instance, Megan is 6 years older than Molly, and that age gap will remain consistent as they both grow older.

One side of a triangle is 2 times the second side. The third side is 5 ft longer than the second side. The perimeter of a triangle is 81 ft. Find the length of each side.
Answer:
The length of each side of triangle are 19 ft, 24 ft and 38 ft.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the length of second side be x.
Now given:
Length of first side is 2 times length of second side.
Length of first side = 2x
Also, Length of third side is 5 ft longer than the second side.
Length of third side = 5+x
Perimeter of triangle = 81 ft.
We need to find the length of each side.
Now perimeter of triangle is sum of all three sides of triangle.
Therefore;
Perimeter of triangle = Length of first side + length of second side + Length of third side.
[tex]2x+x+5+x=81 ft\\4x+5=81ft\\4x= 81 -5 ft\\4x = 76ft\\x= \frac{76}{4} = 19 ft[/tex]
Length of Second Side = 19 ft.
Length of First side = [tex]2x= 2\times19 = 38 ft[/tex]
Length of Third side = [tex]5+x= 5+19=24ft[/tex]
Hence the Length of triangles are 19 ft,38 ft,24 ft.

A ball is thrown vertically upward from the ground with an initial velocity of 122 ft/sec. Use the quadratic function
h(t) = -16t2 + 122t +0 to find how long it will take for the ball to reach its maximum height, and then find the
maximum height. Round your answers to the nearest tenth.
Answer:
232.6 metres after 3.8 seconds.
Step-by-step explanation:
h(t) = -16t² + 122t
a = -16 b = 122 c = 0
Substitute into the quadratic formula
(Ignore the Â)
[tex]x = \frac{-b±\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac}}{2a} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{-122±\sqrt{122^{2}-4(-16)(0)}}{2(-16)} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{-122±122}{-32} [/tex]
Split the equation at the ±
[tex]x = \frac{-122+122}{-32}[/tex] [tex]x = \frac{-122-122}{-32} [/tex]
[tex]x = \frac{0}{-32}[/tex] [tex]x = \frac{-244}{-32} [/tex]
[tex]x = 0[/tex] [tex]x = \frac{61}{8}[/tex]
The two x-intercepts at 0 and 61/8. The midpoint of the x-intercepts is the axis of symmetry, which is the x-coordinate of the vertex.
Midpoint = [0 + (61/8)] / 2
Midpoint = 61/16 <= This is the time for maximum height
t = 61/16
t = 3.8125 => Round to t = 3.8
To find the maximum height, substitute t=61/16 into the equation
h(t) = -16t² + 122t
h(61/16) = -16(61/16)² + 122(61/16)
h(61/16) = 232.5625 => Round to h = 232.6
Therefore, the ball will reach the maximum height of 232.6 metres after 3.8 seconds.
$4,000 invested in Fund A returned 5% profit. Amount invested in Fund B returned a 2% profit. How much was invested in Fund B if both funds returned 4%?
as I read it, what I get is that

The resistance, R of a wire varies directly as the length, l, and inversely as the diameter, d, squared. If R is 1.50ohms when l=2.0 m and d=1.5 mm, what is the resistance of a wire made of the same material that is 8.0 m long and has a diameter of 3.0 mm?
Answer:
resistance is 1.5 ohms (1.5 Ω)
Step-by-step explanation:
R varies directly with l
R varies inversely with [tex]d^2[/tex]
We can set-up a proportionality statement as shown below:
[tex]R=k\frac{l}{d^2}[/tex]
Now, Given,
R = 1.50
l = 2
d = 1.5
We substitute and find k (the proportionality constant):
[tex]R=k\frac{l}{d^2}\\1.5=k\frac{2}{1.5^2}\\1.5=\frac{2k}{2.25}\\2k=1.5*2.25\\2k=3.375\\k=1.6875[/tex]
Now, we will use this value of k to solve the problem.
Given,
l = 8
d = 3
and
k = 1.6875
We find R:
[tex]R=k\frac{l}{d^2}\\R=1.6875\frac{8}{3^2}\\R=\frac{1.6875*8}{9}\\R=1.5[/tex]
The resistance is 1.5 ohms (1.5 Ω)

The solution of the system of equations is (6 , -7)
Step-by-step explanation:
There are two method to solve the system of equations
Elimination method: we make the coefficients of one variable in the two equations have same values and different signs, then we add the two equations to eliminate this variable and have an equation of other variable, we solve it to find the other variable, then substitute the value of this variable in one of the two equations to find the first variableSubstitution method: We use one of the two equations to find one variable in terms of the other, then substitute it in the second equation to have an equation of the other variable, we solve it to find the other variable, then substitute the value of this variable in the equation of the first variableLet us use the elimination method with your problem
∵ 3x + 2y = 4 ⇒ (1)
∵ 3x + 6y = -24 ⇒ (2)
- Multiply equation (1) by -1 to eliminate x ⇒ to make the coefficients of x in the two equations have same values and different signs
∵ -3x - 2y = -4 ⇒ (3)
- Add equations (2) and (3)
∴ 4y = -28
- Divide both sides by 4
∴ y = -7
Substitute value of y in equations (1) OR (2) to find x
∵ 3x + 2(-7) = 4
∴ 3x - 14 = 4
- Add 14 for both sides
∴ 3x = 18
- Divide both sides by 3
∴ x = 6
The solution of the system of equations is (6 , -7)

To write the equation in slope-intercept form, find the slope and y-intercept using the given points. The slope is 1/2, and the y-intercept is -5. The equation is y = (1/2)x - 5.
Explanation:To write an equation in slope-intercept form, we need to find the slope (m) and the y-intercept (b). The slope can be calculated using the formula (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1), where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the coordinates of two points on the line. In this case, the slope is (1 - (-2)) / (12 - 6) = 3/6 = 1/2.
Now, we can use the slope-intercept form of a line, which is y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Plugging in the values, we get y = (1/2)x + b.
To find the value of b, we can substitute the coordinates of one of the given points (6, -2) into the equation. -2 = (1/2)(6) + b. Solving for b, we get b = -2 - 3 = -5.
Therefore, the equation in slope-intercept form of the line that passes through (6, -2) and (12, 1) is y = (1/2)x - 5.

The perimeter of a semicircle is 35.98 meters. What is the semicircle's diameter?
To find the diameter of the semicircle, divide the circumference of the whole circle by 2. Given that the perimeter of the semicircle is 35.98 meters, the diameter would be approximately 22.87 meters.
Explanation:To find the diameter of the semicircle, we first need to find the circumference of the entire circle and then divide it by 2. The formula for the circumference of a circle is C = π * d, where C is the circumference and d is the diameter.
Given that the perimeter of the semicircle is 35.98 meters, the circumference of the whole circle will be twice that value. So, 2 * 35.98 = 71.96 meters.
Now we can use the formula C = π * d to solve for the diameter: 71.96 = π * d. Dividing both sides of the equation by π gives us d = 71.96 / π.
Using a calculator, we can approximate π to 3.14. So, d = 71.96 / 3.14 = 22.87 meters.

in a parallelogram wxyz, wxy= 72 degrees, zwy= 80 degrees.Calculate
a- wzy
b- xwz
c - wyz
Answer:
Part a) m∠WZY=72°
Part b) m∠XWZ=108°
Part c) m∠WYZ=28°
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
In a parallelogram opposite angles are congruent and consecutive angles are supplementary
see the attached figure to better understand the problem
Part a) Find the measure of angle WZY
we know that
m∠WZY≅m∠WXY ----> by opposite angles
we have
m∠WXY=72°
therefore
m∠WZY=72°
Part b) Find the measure of angle XWZ
we know that
m∠XWZ+m∠WXY=180° ----> by consecutive angles
we have
m∠WXY=72°
substitute
m∠XWZ+72°=180°
m∠XWZ=180°-72°
m∠XWZ=108°
Part c) Find the measure of angle WYZ
we know that
The sum of the interior angles of a triangle must be equal to 180 degrees
In the triangle WZY
m∠ZWY+m∠WZY+m∠WYZ=180°
we have
m∠ZWY=80°
m∠WZY=72°
substitute
80°+72°+m∠WYZ=180°
152°+m∠WYZ=180°
m∠WYZ=180°-152°
m∠WYZ=28°
In a parallelogram, finding angles involves rules like opposite angles being equal and adjacent angles being supplementary. wzy = 72 degrees, xwzc = 80 degrees, and wyz = 108 degrees.
Given:
wxy = 72 degrees
zwy = 80 degrees
To find:
wzy: Opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal, so wzy = wxy = 72 degrees
xwzc: Opposite angles in a parallelogram are equal, so xwzc = zwy = 80 degrees
wyz: Adjacent angles in a parallelogram are supplementary. Therefore, wyz = 180 - wxy = 180 - 72 = 108 degrees

each and four-topping pizzas that cost $10 each. They order c cheese pizzas and f four-topping pizzas.
Which expression represents the total cost of all the pizzas they order?
The total cost of all the pizzas that the softball team order can be calculated as 6c + 10f, where c represents the number of cheese pizzas ordered, and f represents the number of four-topping pizzas ordered.
Explanation:To determine how much the softball team is spending on pizzas, we need to multiply the cost of each type of pizza by the number of each type they are ordering. For the cheese pizzas, that cost $6 each, the cost will be:
6c (where 'c' is the number of cheese pizzas).
For the four-topping pizzas, that cost $10 each:
The cost will be 10f (where 'f' is the number of four-topping pizzas).
Now, to calculate the total cost, we add up the cost of the cheese pizzas and the four-topping pizzas:
Total cost = 6c + 10f

number from 251 to 349 can be rounded to 300 as 251 is more close to 300 than 200 and 349 is closer to 300 than 400.
But in our case at ones place we are having 2 , so possible numbers having 2 at ones place and in between 251 to 349 are 252 , 262 , 272 , 282 , 292 , 302 , 312 , 322 , 332 and 342.
but we are only concern numbers at hundred and tens place
so now we have 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 and 34.
Out of this set we want numbers whose sum is least . So if you carefull observer that number is 30 having least sum as 3 + 0 = 3 .
So missing numbers in 42,__2 is 30 and number is 42,302.
Hence we can conclude that least possible sum of missing digits is 3 that is 3 + 0 and missing numbers are 30.
21. A postal carrier can deliver to 130 houses in
2.5 hour period. At this rate, how many hours will
it take to deliver to 234 houses?
Answer:
4.5 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
A postal carrier can deliver to 130 houses in 2.5 hour
so
using proportion
Find out how many hours will it take to deliver to 234 houses
[tex]\frac{130}{2.5}\ \frac{houses}{hours} =\frac{234}{x}\ \frac{houses}{hours} \\\\x=234(2.5)/130\\\\x=4.5\ hours[/tex]
