The sum of a number and twice another number is 17. The sum of twice the first number and the second number is 4. What are the two numbers?
a) define the variables

b) write a system of equations

c) solve by elimination

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

a + 2b = 17

Also,

2a + b = 4

By adding the above expressions we get,

a + 2b + 2a + b = 17 + 4

3a + 3b = 21.

3 (a + b) = 21

a + b = 21/3

a + b = 7 Let us take 'b' = 10

a + 10 = 7

a = 7 - 10

a = -3

Now let's check by verifying by putting a = -3 and b = 10 in the previous expressions

a + 2b = 17

-3 + (2 × 10) = 17

-3 + 20 = 17

17 = 17

2a + b = 4

(2 × -3) + 10 = 4

-6 + 10 = 4

4 = 4

Therefore, a = -3 and b = 10 [(-3,10)] is the solution.

Using the graph provided, find the y-intercept.

Answers

Answer:

y-intercept = 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The y-intercept of a graph is simply the point at which the value of y, when x = 0. It is the point at which the y-axis is intercepted by the line.

In the graph provided, the line cuts the y-axis at y = 2, when x = 0.

Therefore the y-intercept of the graph provided = 2.

If I’m tiling a floor of a 10’ x 10’ room and find that 100 tiles will be needed how many tiles will be needed to tile a floor of 20’ x 20’ room

Answers

Answer:

400 Tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

20 x 20 = 400

(Length x Width)

Answer:

400

Step-by-step explanation:

Enough that you will need a large piggy bank to take money out of.\

There are 4 squares of equal size that will fit the floor of a 20 by 20 foot room.

Therefore you will need 4 * 100 = 400 tiles.

You could do it by noting that the floor has 20 by 20 tiles which is 20^2 which is 400.

An object with initial temperature 120° F is submerged in large tank of water whose temperature is

k= 0.2

F(t)=

Answers

Answer:

[tex]F(t)=Ts+(T0-Ts)^{e-0.2t[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Newton's law of cooling states

"that the temperature of a body changes at a rate proportional to the difference in temperature between the body and its surroundings"

Newton's Law of Cooling is given by the formula

[tex]F(t)=Ts+(T0-Ts)^{e-kt[/tex]

Where

F( t )  is the temperature of the object at a given time  t

T s is the surrounding temperature

T 0  is the initial temperature of the object

k is the constant

Given k=0.2

Hence the expression is

What's the diameter of 76cm circle circumference

Answers

Answer:

The circumference of a circle is C = 2πr^2 (2nd power) Radius (r) is the distance from the center of the circle to the outside of it. To find radius divide the diameter (d) by 2. The diameter (d) of a circle is the radius (r) multiplied by 2. To find the diameter (d) you need to do C ÷ π.

For example):

Finding diameter - 76/3.14 = 24.19 (d)

Finding radius - 24.19/2 = 12.095 (r)

For her phone service, Kaitlin pays a monthly fee of $10, and she pays an additional $0.07 per minute of use. The least she has been charged in a month is $105.27. What are the possible numbers of minutes she has used her phone in a month? Use m for the number of minutes, and solve your inequality for m.

Answers

The equation of this problem is:

0.07m + 10 ≥ 105.27

Subtract 10 from both sides:

0.07m ≥ 95.27

Divide 0.07 on both sides:

m ≥ 1,361

Therefore, the number of minutes that Kaitlyn acquires each month is greater than or equal to 1,361 minutes.

Hope this helps!!

Kay

The possible number of minutes Kaitlin has used her phone in a month is 1361 minutes or more.

Let's set up an inequality to represent Kaitlin's monthly charges. We know that the total cost, C, for the month is the sum of the monthly fee ($10) and the additional charge based on the number of minutes used ($0.07 per minute, which can be written as 0.07m, where m represents the number of minutes used).

So, the inequality can be written as: C = 10 + 0.07m

Now, we are given that the least amount she has been charged in a month is $105.27. Therefore, we can write the inequality:

C ≥ 105.27

Substitute the expression for C from the first inequality: 10 + 0.07m ≥ 105.27

Now, solve for m:

Subtract 10 from both sides of the inequality:

0.07m ≥ 105.27 - 10

0.07m ≥ 95.27

Finally, divide both sides of the inequality by 0.07:

m ≥ 95.27 / 0.07

m ≥ 1361

C) RSP is congruent to TSU
D) RSP is congruent to OPS (my answer)

Answers

Answer:

1. A) OPS is congruent to RSU

2. C) RSP is congruent to TSU

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Since OQ and RT are parallel lines that are cut across by the transversal line, NU, therefore, angle OPS and angle RSU are corresponding angles formed. Corresponding angles are congruent.

✅Therefore: A) OPS is congruent to RSU. OPTION A IS TRUE.

❌OPS and RSP are consecutive interior angles. They are not congruent. They are supplementary. So, option B is NOT TRUE.

❌OPS and OPN are linear pair angles. Linear pair angles are not congruent. They are supplementary. Therefore, OPTION B IS NOT TRUE.

OPS and TSU are also not congruent.

2. Angle RSP and angle RSU are vertical angles. Vertical angles are congruent. Therefore, the statement that IS TRUE is:

C) RSP is congruent to TSU

Endpoint given the Midpoint: * The midpoint of RP is M(2, 4). If one of the end points is R(-1,7), find the coordinates of the other end point.​

Answers

Answer:

The coordinates of other point are: (5,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given coordinates are:

M(x,y) = (2,4)

R(x_1,x_2) = (-1,7)

We have to find the coordinates of other point (x2,y2)

The formula for mid-point is given by:

[tex]M(x,y) = (\frac{x_1+x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1+y_2}{2})[/tex]

Putting the values we get

[tex](2,4) = (\frac{-1+x_2}{2}, \frac{7+y_2}{2})[/tex]

Putting respective elements equal

[tex]\frac{-1+x_2}{2} = 2\\-1+x_2 = 2*2\\-1+x_2 = 4\\x_2 = 4+1\\x_2 = 5\\And\\\frac{7+y_2}{2} = 4\\7+y_2 = 4*2\\7+y_2 = 8\\y_2 = 8-7\\y_2 = 1[/tex]

Hence,

The coordinates of other point are: (5,1)
