Two teachers, Mr. Meehan and Mrs. Chipps, decide to buy compasses and rulers for their classrooms. Mrs. Chipps buys 30 compasses and 50 rulers for $95. Mr. Meehan buys 40 of each for $116. What are the individual costs of the compasses and rulers that were purchased? Explanation Please

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

compass = $ 2.50 each ruler        = $ 0.40 each

Step-by-step explanation:

Mrs. Chipps buys 30 c + 50 r = $95

Mr. Meehan buys 40 c + 40 r = $116    x (-1.25) to eliminate r

                             30 c + 50 r = $ 95

                            -50 c - 50 r  = $-145

                            -20 c             =  -50

                                               c = 50 / 20

                                               c = $2.5

substitute c = 2.5 into eq. 1

30 c + 50 r = $95

30 (2.5) + 50 r = 95

75 + 50 r = 95

50 r = 95 - 75

r = 20 / 50

r = 0.40

therefore, the individual costs of the compasses and rulers are:

compass = $ 2.50 each

ruler        = $ 0.40 each

Answers

Answer:

The solution is too long. So, I included them in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

This question has missing details. However, I've corrected each question before solving them

Required: Determine the inverse

1:

[tex]f(x) = 25x - 18[/tex]

Replace f(x) with y

[tex]y = 25x - 18[/tex]

Swap y & x

[tex]x = 25y - 18[/tex]

[tex]x + 18 = 25y - 18 + 18[/tex]

[tex]x + 18 = 25y[/tex]

Divide through by 25

[tex]\frac{x + 18}{25} = y[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{x + 18}{25}[/tex]

Replace y with f'(x)

[tex]f'(x) = \frac{x + 18}{25}[/tex]

2. [tex]g(x) = \frac{12x - 1}{7}[/tex]

Replace g(x) with y

[tex]y = \frac{12x - 1}{7}[/tex]

Swap y & x

[tex]x = \frac{12y - 1}{7}[/tex]

[tex]7x = 12y - 1[/tex]

Add 1 to both sides

[tex]7x +1 = 12y - 1 + 1[/tex]

[tex]7x +1 = 12y[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]y = \frac{7x + 1}{12}[/tex]

[tex]g'(x) = \frac{7x + 1}{12}[/tex]

3: [tex]h(x) = -\frac{9x}{4} - \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Replace h(x) with y

[tex]y = -\frac{9x}{4} - \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Swap y & x

[tex]x = -\frac{9y}{4} - \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Add [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] to both sides

[tex]x + \frac{1}{3}= -\frac{9y}{4} - \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

[tex]x + \frac{1}{3}= -\frac{9y}{4}[/tex]

Multiply through by -4

[tex]-4(x + \frac{1}{3})= -4(-\frac{9y}{4})[/tex]

[tex]-4x - \frac{4}{3}= 9y[/tex]

Divide through by 9

[tex](-4x - \frac{4}{3})/9= y[/tex]

[tex]-4x * \frac{1}{9} - \frac{4}{3} * \frac{1}{9} = y[/tex]

[tex]\frac{-4x}{9} - \frac{4}{27}= y[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{-4x}{9} - \frac{4}{27}[/tex]

[tex]h'(x) = \frac{-4x}{9} - \frac{4}{27}[/tex]

4:

[tex]f(x) = x^9[/tex]

Replace f(x) with y

[tex]y = x^9[/tex]

Swap y with x

[tex]x = y^9[/tex]

Take 9th root

[tex]x^{\frac{1}{9}} = y[/tex]

[tex]y = x^{\frac{1}{9}}[/tex]

Replace y with f'(x)

[tex]f'(x) = x^{\frac{1}{9}}[/tex]

5:

[tex]f(a) = a^3 + 8[/tex]

Replace f(a) with y

[tex]y = a^3 + 8[/tex]

Swap a with y

[tex]a = y^3 + 8[/tex]

Subtract 8

[tex]a - 8 = y^3 + 8 - 8[/tex]

[tex]a - 8 = y^3[/tex]

Take cube root

[tex]\sqrt[3]{a-8} = y[/tex]

[tex]y = \sqrt[3]{a-8}[/tex]

Replace y with f'(a)

[tex]f'(a) = \sqrt[3]{a-8}[/tex]

6:

[tex]g(a) = a^2 + 8a- 7[/tex]

Replace g(a) with y

[tex]y = a^2 + 8a - 7[/tex]

Swap positions of y and a

[tex]a = y^2 + 8y - 7[/tex]

[tex]y^2 + 8y - 7 - a = 0[/tex]

Solve using quadratic formula:

[tex]y = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]a = 1[/tex] ; [tex]b = 8[/tex]; [tex]c = -7 - a[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex] becomes

[tex]y = \frac{-8 \±\sqrt{8^2 - 4 * 1 * (-7-a)}}{2 * 1}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{-8 \±\sqrt{64 + 28 + 4a}}{2 * 1}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{-8 \±\sqrt{92 + 4a}}{2 * 1}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{-8 \±\sqrt{92 + 4a}}{2 }[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]y = \frac{-8 \±\sqrt{4(23 + a)}}{2 }[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{-8 \±2\sqrt{(23 + a)}}{2 }[/tex]

[tex]y = -4 \±\sqrt{(23 + a)}[/tex]

[tex]g'(a) = -4 \±\sqrt{(23 + a)}[/tex]

7:

[tex]f(b) = (b + 6)(b - 2)[/tex]

Replace f(b) with y

[tex]y = (b + 6)(b - 2)[/tex]

Swap y and b

[tex]b = (y + 6)(y - 2)[/tex]

Open Brackets

[tex]b = y^2 + 6y - 2y - 12[/tex]

[tex]b = y^2 + 4y - 12[/tex]

[tex]y^2 + 4y - 12 - b = 0[/tex]

Solve using quadratic formula:

[tex]y = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

[tex]a = 1[/tex] ; [tex]b = 4[/tex]; [tex]c = -12 - b[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{-b\±\sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex] becomes

[tex]y = \frac{-4\±\sqrt{4^2 - 4 * 1 * (-12-b)}}{2*1}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{-4\±\sqrt{4^2 - 4 *(-12-b)}}{2}[/tex]

Factorize:

[tex]y = \frac{-4\±\sqrt{4(4 - (-12-b))}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{-4\±2\sqrt{(4 - (-12-b))}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{-4\±2\sqrt{(4 +12+b)}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{-4\±2\sqrt{16+b}}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = -2\±\sqrt{16+b}[/tex]

Replace y with f'(b)

[tex]f'(b) = -2\±\sqrt{16+b}[/tex]

8:

[tex]h(x) = \frac{2x+17}{3x+1}[/tex]

Replace h(x) with y

[tex]y = \frac{2x+17}{3x+1}[/tex]

Swap x and y

[tex]x = \frac{2y+17}{3y+1}[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex](3y + 1)x = 2y + 17[/tex]

[tex]3yx + x = 2y + 17[/tex]

Subtract x from both sides:

[tex]3yx + x -x= 2y + 17-x[/tex]

[tex]3yx = 2y + 17-x[/tex]

Subtract 2y from both sides

[tex]3yx-2y =17-x[/tex]

Factorize:

[tex]y(3x-2) =17-x[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]y = \frac{17 - x}{3x - 2}[/tex]

Replace y with h'(x)

[tex]h'(x) = \frac{17 - x}{3x - 2}[/tex]

9:

[tex]h(c) = \sqrt{2c + 2}[/tex]

Replace h(c) with y

[tex]y = \sqrt{2c + 2}[/tex]

Swap positions of y and c

[tex]c = \sqrt{2y + 2}[/tex]

Square both sides

[tex]c^2 = 2y + 2[/tex]

Subtract 2 from both sides

[tex]c^2 - 2= 2y[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]y = \frac{c^2 - 2}{2}[/tex]

[tex]h'(c) = \frac{c^2 - 2}{2}[/tex]

10:

[tex]f(x) = \frac{x + 10}{9x - 1}[/tex]

Replace f(x) with y

[tex]y = \frac{x + 10}{9x - 1}[/tex]

Swap positions of x and y

[tex]x = \frac{y + 10}{9y - 1}[/tex]

Cross Multiply

[tex]x(9y - 1) = y + 10[/tex]

[tex]9xy - x = y + 10[/tex]

Subtract y from both sides

[tex]9xy - y - x = y - y+ 10[/tex]

[tex]9xy - y - x = 10[/tex]

Add x to both sides

[tex]9xy - y - x + x= 10 + x[/tex]

[tex]9xy - y = 10 + x[/tex]

Factorize

[tex]y(9x - 1) = 10 + x[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]y = \frac{10 + x}{9x - 1}[/tex]

Replace y with f'(x)

[tex]f'(x) = \frac{10 + x}{9x -1}[/tex]

We can solve for the variable [tex]x[/tex] by isolating it on one side of the equals sign.

Start by adding [tex]4[/tex] to both sides to cancel out the [tex]-4[/tex] on the left side of the equation.

[tex]\begin{aligned}3x-4+4&=14+4\\3x&=18\end{aligned}[/tex]

Now divide both sides of the equation by [tex]3[/tex] since [tex]3x[/tex] is the same as [tex]3*x[/tex] and we want to isolate [tex]x[/tex], keeping in mind that anything multiplied by [tex]1[/tex] is itself.

[tex]\begin{aligned}3x&=18\\3*x&=18\\3*x\div3&=18\div3\\x*3\div3&=18\div3\\x*1&=6\\x&=\boxed{6}\end{aligned}[/tex]

How to obtain real measurements from the ratio of two measurements?

Suppose the real measurements were "a" and "b". Then their ratio will be formed as;

[tex]\dfrac{a}{b} = \dfrac{p \times x}{q \times x} = \dfrac{p}{q}[/tex]

where is a common factor (not 1)? This shows that to get the real measurements from the given ratio, we need to assume to have some factor possibly canceled from both the numerator and the denominator.

Thus, a = px, b = qx

We have given that farmer 30 boxes of eggs. and there are 6 eggs in each box.

Thus, we know that the total number of eggs is the same as the number of eggs given in 30 boxes.

Hence, the ratio will be;

2: 30,

then divide both sides by 2 ;

1: 15

Therefore, the ratio of the number of eggs in three boxes to the total number of eggs is 1: 15 in its simplest terms.

The volume of a right circular cone is 300 cubic inches. What is the volume, in cubic inches, of
a right cylinder that has the same base and height as the cone?

Answers

Answer:

900 cubic inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data

Volume of right circular cone = 300in³

We know that the volume of a right circular cone is given by the formula;

[tex] V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h[/tex]

Where;

V is the volume of right circular cone.r is the radius of the base of the right circular cone.h is the height of the right circular cone.

The volume of a right circular cylinder is given by the formula;

[tex] V = \pi r^{2}h[/tex]

Thus, multiplying the volume of the right circular cone by 3 would give us the volume of the right circular cylinder.

[tex] V = \frac{1}{3} \pi r^{2}h * 3[/tex]

Substituting into the equation, we have;

V = 300 * 3

V = 900in³

Therefore, the volume of a right cylinder that has the same base and height as the cone is 900 cubic inches.

Answers

Answer:

x = -1/9

Step-by-step explanation:

[tex]\frac{18}{x} = -2[/tex] multiply by 1/18 to cancel out

[tex]x = -2(\frac{1}{18} )\\x = -\frac{2}{18} \\x = -\frac{1}{9}[/tex]

Hey there!

18/x = -2

Multiply both sides by x

-2x = 18

Divide both of your sides by -2

-2x/-2 = 18/-2

Cancel out: -2x/-2 because it gives you 1

Keep: 18/-2 because it helps us solve for our answer

x = 18/-2

18/-2 = 18 divided by -2 ➡️ -9

Thus your answer is: x = -9 ✅
