please help I hope someone can:Brian and Chris went together to Target to find party favors for a birthday party they are throwing together.
Brian found 4 items that cost the same amount. Chris bought 3 items that each cost $2.50 more than Brian’s items each cost. Brian and Chris both 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 Brian's items.
(b) Solve the equation. Show your work.
(c) Check your solution. Show your work.
(d) State the solution in complete sentences.
Answer:

Answers

Answer 1

one Brian's item cost: x

one Chris' item cost: x+2.5

Set up equation:

Brians amount = Chris amount

4*x = 3*(x+2.5)

solve for x:

4x = 3x + 7.5

x = 7.5

Brian's items cost $7.5 each.

Check:

Brian paid 4*7.5 = $30

Chris paid 3*10 = $30

The individual cost of Brian's items was $7.50, and the indiv. cost of Chris' items was $10.

what is the vertex of the quadratic function f(x)=1/2x^2+3x+3/2?

Answers

the vertex of the quadratic function

[tex]f(x)= \frac{1}{2}x^2+3x+\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

To find vertex we use formula x= -b/2a

from the given equation , a= 1/2  and b = 3

Now we plug in the values in the formula

[tex]x = \frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]x= \frac{-3}{2\frac{1}{2}}=-3[/tex]

x coordinate of vertex is -3

Now plug in -3 for x  in f(x)

[tex]f(-3)= \frac{1}{2}(-3)^2+3(-3)+\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

f(-3) = -3

the y coordinate of vertex is -3

So vertex is (-3,-3)





Answer:

(-3, -3)

Step-by-step explanation:

The standard form of a quadratic equation is [tex]y = ax^2+bx+c[/tex] where the coordinates of the highest point (x, y) indicate the vertex.

Here, [tex]a= \frac{1}{2} , b = 3[/tex] and  [tex]c= \frac{3}{2}[/tex].

We know the formula to find the x coordinate = [tex]\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]x= \frac{-3}{2(\frac{1}{2}) }[/tex] = [tex]-3[/tex]

To find y, put this value of x in the function to get:

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2} x^2+3x+\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{1}{2} (-3)^2+3(-3)+\frac{3}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = -3[/tex]

Therefore, the vertex (x, y) = (-3, -3)


Which area is greatest?
a. b=4, h=3.5
b. b=0.8, h=20
c. b=6, h=2.25
d. b=10, h=1.4

Answers

the answer is b because to find the area of something you have to do Base(b) multiplied by the Height(h) and the area of B was 16

A: 14

B: 16

C: 13.5

D: 14

Final answer:

Answer Is Option(b.) :-To find the greatest area among the given rectangles, calculate the area of each rectangle by multiplying the base by height. The greatest area is of rectangle b.

Explanation:

The subject matter of this question involves finding the area of rectangles. In mathematics, the area of a rectangle is calculated by multiplying its base (b) by its height (h), represented as A = b x h. In this question, you are given four different rectangles (a, b, c, and d) with varying base and height values. You need to calculate the area for each and determine which one is the greatest:

For rectangle a, the area is b x h = 4 x 3.5 = 14 For rectangle b, the area is b x h = 0.8 x 20 = 16 For rectangle c, the area is b x h = 6 x 2.25 = 13.5 For rectangle d, the area is b x h = 10 x 1.4 = 14

After calculations, you can see that rectangle b has the greatest area.

2.  The probability of selecting a team of 5 girls and 5 boys is [tex]\frac{63}{143}[/tex] and the decimal is 0.4405...

Step-by-step explanation:

1.  Number of girls is 6 and number of boys is 7.

So, the total number of players = 6+7 = 13

A team of 10 players is to be selected from the class.

So, the total possible number of different combinations of players will be:  [tex]^1^3C_{10} = \frac{13!}{10! (13-10)!}=\frac{13*12*11*10!}{10!*3!}= \frac{13*12*11}{6}=286[/tex]


2.   Number of girls is 6 and number of boys is 7.

The possible number of teams by selecting 5 girls and 5 boys will be:  [tex]^6C_{5}\times ^7C_{5} =6\times 21= 126[/tex]

and the number of total possible teams of 10 players [tex]= ^1^3C_{10} =286[/tex]

Thus, the probability of selecting a team of 5 girls and 5 boys [tex]=\frac{126}{286}= \frac{63}{143}[/tex] or [tex]0.4405...[/tex]

Answers

Denise needs to buy 25/3 gallons of 85% ethanol and 35/3 gallons of 25% ethanol to have 20 gallons of 50% ethanol.

x | y | 20 gal

use x and y because you don't know how much she needs.


0.85x | 0.25y | 20(0.5)


85% is 85/100 or 0.85, and you need that much of x, same goes for the 25% and 50% mixtures


so now you can make up 2 equations

1) x + y = 20

2) 0.85x + 0.25y= 10 (you get 10 when you multiply 20 by 0.5)


now you can solve for x or y using substitution. first rewrite 1) in terms of x or y:

x+ y= 20 ----> y= 20 - x


now you can substitute 20- x for y in the second equation..

0.85x + 0.25y= 10

0.85x + 0.25(20-x)= 10 distribute here..(0.25 * 20 and 0.25 * (-x) )

0.85x + 5 - 0.25x = 10 combine like terms

0.6x +5 = 10 move the 5 over to the other side

0.6x= 10 -5

0.6x = 5 divide both sides by 0.6

x= 25/3 or 8.3 now you know the amount of x so you can substitue this back into the first equation to find y.


0.85x + 0.25y= 10

0.85(25/3) +0.25y= 10

85/12 + 0.25y= 10

0.25y = 10- 85/12

0.25y= 35/12

y= 35/3 or 11.6


you can check by putting these values into the euations:

1) x+ y= 20

25/3 + 35/3 =20

20= 20 good so far


2) 0.85x + 0.25y= 10

0.85(25/3) + 0.25(35/3)=10

10 = 10 so our values for x and y work

43/2 * 3/2

129/4 = 32 1/4

Answer:

Speed of Victoria, [tex]v=32\dfrac{1}{4}\ miles/hour[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that,

Distance covered by Victoria, [tex]d=21\dfrac{1}{2}\ miles=\dfrac{43}{2}\ miles[/tex]

Time taken, [tex]t=\dfrac{2}{3}\ hour[/tex]          

Speed (v) of Victoria is given by total distance divided by total time taken. It is given by :

[tex]v=\dfrac{d}{t}[/tex]

[tex]v=\dfrac{\dfrac{43}{2}\ miles}{\dfrac{2}{3}\ hour}[/tex]

[tex]v=\dfrac{129}{4}\ miles/hour[/tex]

[tex]v=32\dfrac{1}{4}\ miles/hour[/tex]

So, the speed of Victoria is [tex]32\dfrac{1}{4}\ miles/hour[/tex]. Hence, this is the required solution.

1. Suppose you invest $500 at 10% interest, compounded annually. After 5 years, how much money would you have in your account? Remember, the formula is A = P(1 + r)t.

Each episode of Podcast A is x minutes long, and each episode of Podcast B is y minutes long. Tell what the following expressions represent in the situation.
a. Ax + By
b. A + B

Answers

Solution 1:

The compound interest formula to be used here is given by:

[tex]A=P(1+r)^{t}[/tex]

Now we are given:

P=$500

r=10% or 0.1

t=5 years

Plugging them in the formula ,

[tex]A=500(1+0.1)^{5}[/tex]

A=$802.255

Answer : After 5 years I will have $802.255 in my account.

Solution 2:

The formula for compound interest here is given by:

[tex]A=P(1+\frac{r}{n})^{nt}[/tex]

Here interest is compounded after every two years, so n=2

r=2% or 0.02

t=6 years

P= $100

Plugging these into the formula:

[tex]A=100(1+\frac{0.02}{2})^{2*6}[/tex]

[tex]A=100(1+0.01)^{12}[/tex]

[tex]A=100(1.01)^{12}[/tex]

A=$112.683

Answer: The balance after 6 years would be $112.683.

Solution 4:

In this situation:

-4(1.5) Change both to improper fractions

-4/1(6/5) Multiply

-24/5  Simplify

-4 4/5   THE END

Final answer:

To find the product of -4(-1.5) on the number line, start from zero, move 4 units to the left due to the negative sign, and then move 6 units (4 x 1.5) to the right because of the negative multiplied by a negative rule. The result is 6.

Explanation:

To find the product of -4(-1.5) on the number line, you would follow a few steps. First, choose your starting point on the number line. In this case, the starting point would be zero.

Next, because the first number is negative, move 4 units to the left from zero. Since the second number is also negative, it changes the direction. So multiply by 1.5 in the opposite direction, which means moving to the right on the number line.

However, as it's a decimal multiplication you need to move 1.5 times or multiply the distance you moved when you moved 1 unit 4 times. It's like taking 1.5 steps to the right for each of the 4 steps we initially moved to the left. In the end, you will end up 6 units to the right of 0. Thus, the product of -4 and -1.5 is 6.

Find the equation of the line that is parallel to y=-x+9 and contains the point (7,-13).

Answers

y=-x-6 is the answer.

The equation of the line that is parallel to y = -x + 9 and passes through the point (7, -13) is y = -x - 6.

Now, we want to find the equation of a line that is parallel to this given line and passes through the point (7, -13). Since the new line is parallel, it will have the same slope of -1. Let's denote the equation of the new line as y = mx + b. We know the slope (m = -1), and we have a point (7, -13) that the line passes through. We can use this information to find the value of b.

To find b, we can plug in the coordinates of the point (7, -13) into the equation y = -x + b:

-13 = -1 * 7 + b

Now, solve for b:

b = -13 + 7

b = -6

Therefore, the value of b is -6.

What is 0.8 divided by 0.6 and what would it be if I round it to the nearest hundred

Answers

Final answer:

0.8 divided by 0.6 is 1.33333... which, when rounded to the nearest hundredth, is 1.33. The rounding should be done to the nearest hundredth as 'rounding to the nearest hundred' typically does not apply to decimals.

Explanation:

To calculate 0.8 divided by 0.6, we simply perform the division:

0.8 ÷ 0.6 = 1.33333...

When we round this to the nearest hundredth, we look at the third decimal place. Since it's 3, we do not round up the second decimal place. Thus, 1.33333... rounded to the nearest hundredth is 1.33.

Rounding numbers and understanding division are fundamental skills in mathematics. They are essential for various applications, such as converting fractions to percentages or when dealing with metrics and customary units.

However, the question asked to round to the nearest hundred, which seems to be a typographical mistake, because we usually round numbers to the nearest hundredth or to the nearest hundred as a whole number, but not to the nearest hundred as a decimal. Assuming it's a typo and meant the hundredth, the result is 1.33. Otherwise, 1.33 rounded to the nearest hundred as a whole number is simply 100 (since this is the closest hundred to 1.33).

A mattress store charges 7% sales tax and a 50 delivery fee

Answers

We are given function f(a) = 1.07a for total amount including sales tax.

g(b) = b+50 total cost including delivery.


We need to write function g(f(a)).

g(f(a)) = g of f(a).

We need to substitute function f(a) in g(b) function for b.

g(f(a)) = g(1.07a) = 1.07a +50.

Therefore,  g(f(a)) = 1.07a +50.

We are given mattress price a = $1125.

In order to find the total cost including delivery charges, we need to plug a= 1125 in the above function 1.07a +50.

Plugging a= $1125, we get

g(1125) = 1.07a +50 = 1.07*1125 +50 = 1203.75 +50 = 1253.75.

Therefore, total cost including delivery charges is $1253.75.
