the average length of string a and string d is 10x cm. the average length of string b and string c is 8x cm . the average length of strings b , c , d is 6x cm . find the length of string a in terms of x

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

[tex]a = 18x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(a + d) = 10x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(b + c) = 8x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{3}(b + c+d) = 6x[/tex]

Required

The value of (a)

We have:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(a + d) = 10x[/tex] --- multiply by 2

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(b + c) = 8x[/tex] --- multiply by 2

[tex]\frac{1}{3}(b + c+d) = 6x[/tex] --- multiply by 3

So, we have:

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(a + d) = 10x[/tex]

[tex]a + d = 20x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2}(b + c) = 8x[/tex]

[tex]b + c = 16x[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{3}(b + c+d) = 6x[/tex]

[tex]b + c + d= 18x[/tex]

Substitute [tex]b + c = 16x[/tex] in [tex]b + c + d= 18x[/tex]

[tex]16x + d = 18x[/tex]

Solve for d

[tex]d = 18x - 16x[/tex]

[tex]d = 2x[/tex]

Substitute [tex]d = 2x[/tex] in [tex]a + d = 20x[/tex]

[tex]a + 2x = 20x[/tex]

Solve for (a)

[tex]a = 20x - 2x[/tex]

[tex]a = 18x[/tex]

Write an equation that PASSES THROUGH (3, -1) and is PARALELL to y = 6x - 4
show work

Answers

Answer:

y = 6x - 19

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation of a line in slope- intercept form is

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

y = 6x - 4 ← is in slope- intercept form

with slope m = 6

Parallel lines have equal slopes , then

y = 6x + c ← is the partial equation

To find c substitute (3, - 1) into the partial equation

- 1 = 18 + c ⇒ c = - 1 - 18 = - 19

y = 6x - 19 ← equation of parallel line

At the grocery store last week, small boxes of facial tissue were on sale at 4 boxes for $5. This week they mark a new price at 5 boxes for $4. What is the percent decrease in the price per box this week?

Answers

Answer: 36%

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the price last week, was 4 boxes for $5. Therefore, the price per box will be:

= $5/4

= $1.25 per box

This week they mark a new price at 5 boxes for $4. The price per box will be:

= $4/5

= $0.8 per box

The percent decrease in the price per box this week will be:

= (1.25 - 0.80)/1.25 × 100

= 0.45/1.25 × 100

= 36%

The Percentage decrease is 36%

i think 88

Step-by-step explanation:

(it's been a while since I've done this so I'm not too sure it's correct)

The formula we need to use is

2πr(angle/360)

we need the radius (r)

To get r we need angle AES

180-80= 100

using the equation from before

88=2πr*(100/360)

raidus: 50.42

Then to get the length CD we need angle DEC

180-80=100

2π*50.42*(100/360)=88

there probably was some kind of shortcut we could've used to figure this out faster but whatever

Joseph has 16 metres of rope. He wants to cut pieces of rope that are 0.2 metres long.

How many pieces can he cut?


Ignore the answer I put

Answers

Answer:

80

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Length of rope = 16 m

Length per Piece of rope to cut = 0.2 m

The number of pieces of rope that can be cut :

Length of rope / length per piece of rope

16 / 0.2

= 80

Hence, 80 pieces of 0.2 m rope will be cut

Volume = [ ? ] m3

PLEASE HELP IM OVERDUE

Answers

Answer:

98 m³

Step-by-step explanation:

For similar shapes

The ratio of the cube of the corresponding length of similar shapes is equal to the ratio of their volume.

Applying,

L³/L'³ = V/V'............... Equation 1

Where, L = Length of the smaller prism, L' = Length of the larger prism, V = Volume of the smaller prism, V' = Volume of the larger prism

From the question,

Given: L = 5 m, L' = 7 m, V = 50 m³

Substitute these values into equation 1

5²/7² = 50/V'

25/49 = 50/V'

V' = (50×49)/25

V' = 98 m³

If 50 kg of rice cost Rs 375,how much can be purchased for Rs.525?​

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the quantity of rice that can be bought with Rs 525 be = x

           Rice ( kg)                Cost (Rs)

              50                          375

                x                           525

  [tex]\frac{50}{x} = \frac{375}{525} \\\\x \times 375 = 50 \times 525\\\\375x = 26250\\\\x = \frac{26250}{375} = 70 \ kg[/tex]

Therefore 70kg rice can be purchased for Rs. 525

In each part, a and b represent the length of a leg of a right triangle, and c represents the length of its hypotenuse. Find the missing length, given the other two lengths.

Answers

Answer:

c=13 and a=20

Step-by-step explanation:

Here you need to use the Pythagoras theorem :

c²=a² + b²

c = √a² + b²

c = √(12)²+(5)²

c= √144+25

c = √169

c = 13

2) c²=a²+b²

    b= √c²-b²

    b= √(29)²-(21)²

    b = √400

    b = 20

In 2 you change your formula just so that it can be easier and just calculate your length straight forward but you can also just do it in the original equation

Simplify by factorising first

Answers

Answer:

x+8

Step-by-step explanation:

Simplify the numerator

list the factors of 16

16: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16

look for two factors that add up to the b value

in this case it is 18

by looking at the factors 2 and 8 add up 10

so you can rewrite the numerator as [tex]x^{2}+2x+8x+16[/tex]

Split the trinomial into two separate binomials each having one of the factors that add up to 10

So it should be [tex]x^{2} +2x and 8x+16[/tex]

Factor both binomials

you can factor an x from the first one

Then it is x(x+2)

Factor an 8 from the second one

8(x+2)

So it should be [tex]x(x+2) 8(x+2)[/tex]

This can rewritten as (x+8)(x+2)

So now you have [tex]\frac{(x+2)(x+8)}{x+2)}[/tex]

simplify it by canceling out the two (x+2)'s

this is because (x+2)/(x+2) is 1

Finally you get x+8

how many eggs are 5 dozen​

Answers

Answer:

A dozen is 12.

12*5 = 60 eggs

5 dozen eggs are equal to 60 eggs.

A dozen is a unit of measurement equal to 12 items. So, 5 dozen is equivalent to 5 times 12, which gives us a total of 60 items.

When referring to eggs, the term "dozen" is commonly used to represent a quantity of eggs. In this case, if we have 5 dozen eggs, it means we have 5 sets of 12 eggs each.

To calculate the total number of eggs, we multiply the number of dozens (5) by the number of eggs in a dozen (12):

5 dozen x 12 eggs/dozen = 60 eggs

Therefore, 5 dozen eggs are equal to 60 eggs. This means that if you have 5 sets of 12 eggs, you would have a total of 60 eggs.

8) Choices E, F and G9) r = -0.9510)  0.9 (choice C)11) Choice C. y1 = mx1+b12) Choice B. Slope13) Choice C. y intercept

========================================================

Explanations:

8) Positive r values always go with positive regression slopes. The r value will likely not equal the slope, but they share the same sign.

------------------------------

9) The data set isn't given so I'm not sure. But it seems like your teacher just wants to know a hypothetical situation in which r value will produce the best fit. That would be r = -0.95 since we're the furthest from zero. The closer you are to r = 1 or r = -1, the better the fit.

------------------------------

10) The blue regression line, aka line of best fit, is fairly close to all of the data points. Also, the blue line has a positive slope. This means r is fairly close to 1. So that's why we go with r = 0.9

------------------------------

11) The general equation is y = mx+b. We simply replace x,y with x1,y1.

------------------------------

12) When considering y = mx+b, the m is the slope. I'm not entirely sure where the m comes from, but I've read some sources that say 'm' somehow represents 'mountain' which involves slopes. This could have simply been a memorization tool and not the actual reason why m was chosen to be the slope.

As an example, y = 2x+5 has slope 2.

------------------------------

13) The b in y = mx+b is the y intercept. It's the initial value.

It always occurs when x = 0 since

y = mx+b

y = m*0+b

y = b

Meaning the point (0,b) is the location of the y intercept.

For example, y = 2x+5 has y intercept 5 located at the point (0,5).
