A contractor needs to buy nails to build a house. The nails come in small boxes and
large boxes. Each small box has 200 nails and each large box has 400 nails. The
contractor bought twice as many small boxes as large boxes, which altogether had
3200 nails. Graphically solve a system of equations in order to determine the number
of small boxes purchased, x, and the number of large boxes purchased, y.

Answers

Answer 1

Here is your system of equations:

200x + 400y = 3200

y = 2x

Now plug into your calculator to see the graph.

Where the lines cross each other is the point that shows the solution.

Hey i need help finding the orthocenter for the following points, please show the steps you used. thanks

(-3, 0.5)

(2,-1)

Answers

9514 1404 393

Answer:

  (81/43, -31/43) ≈ (1.884, -0.7209)

Step-by-step explanation:

The orthocenter is the intersection point of the altitudes of the triangle. Since this is not a right triangle, you need to find the equations of the altitude lines, then find where those intersect.

If we call the points A, B, C in the order given, the attached figure shows the altitude lines from B perpendicular to AC, and from C perpendicular to AB.

We can find the equation of the perpendicular line using the form ...

  ∆x·x +∆y·y = c

where ∆x and ∆y are the differences in coordinates between the points on the "side" and the value of constant 'c' is determined by evaluating the expression using x and y as the coordinates of the opposite vertex.

__

For line AC, we have ...

  (∆x, ∆y) = C - A = (2, -1) -(-3, 0.5) = (2+3, -1-0.5) = (5, -1.5)

Then the equation of the first altitude line is ...

  5x -1.5y = 6(3) -1.5(3) = 10.5

Multiplying by 2 puts this in standard form:

  10x -3y = 21

__

For line AB, we have ...

  (∆x, ∆y) = B - A = (3, 3) -(-3, 0.5) = (3+3, 3-0.5) = (6, 2.5)

Then the equation of the second altitude line is ...

  6x +2.5y = 6(2) +2.5(-1) = 9.5

Multiplying by 2 puts this in standard form:

  12x +5y = 19

__

Then the orthocenter is the solution to the system of equations ...

  10x -3y -21 = 0

  12x +5y -19 = 0

This set of equations can be solved a number of ways. One is the "cross-multiplication" method.

  1/(10·5 -12·(-3)) = x/(-3·(-19) -5·(-21)) = y/(-21(12) -(-19)(10))

  x = 162/86 = 81/43

  y = -62/86 = -31/43

The orthocenter is (81/43, -31/43) ≈ (1.884, -0.7209).

Additional comment

The "cross multiply method" is based on cross products when the equations  are written in standard form:

  ax +by +c = 0

  dx +ey +g = 0

Usually, the coefficients are written in two rows of four, with the first column repeated at the end:

  a  b  c  a

  d  e  g  d

Then cross products are formed, where diagonal down is positive and diagonal up is subtracted from that:

  p1 = (ae -db), p2 = (bg -ec), p3 = (cd -ga)

These give the solution to the equations when put in the form ...

  1/p1 = x/p2 = y/p3   ⇒   x = p2/p1   and   y = p3/p1

If you look at videos of this "cross multiply method," they will put the 1/p1 at the end of the string of equalities, and they will use the coefficients in the order starting with b instead of a. I find the arrangement here easier to remember, so less likely to get confused.

Further comment

You can, of course, find the slopes of the lines, and their opposite reciprocals, then use a point-slope form or some other method for writing the equations of the altitude lines. The solution to the equations can proceed by substitution or elimination. No doubt these methods are somewhat familiar. The method used here tries to get to the answer much more quickly with a lot less writing. (Unfortunately, it takes a bit of writing to explain it all.)

What is the equation, in slope-intercept form, of the line that passes through the points (−24, 5) and (16, −20)?

A. Y = -8/5x + 10
B. Y = -8/5x - 10
C. Y = -5/8x - 10
D. Y = -5/8x + 10​

Answers

Answer:

C (Y = -5/8x - 10)

Step-by-step explanation:

first find the slope (y₂ - y₁) ÷ (x₂ - x₁)

(5 - (-20)) ÷ (-24 - 16)

-5/8 = slope (m)

now that we know the slope is -5/8 we can rule out A and B

now to find the y intercept just substitute a point in for x and y

5 = (-5/8)(-24) + b

multiply

5 = 15 + b

subtract 15 from both sides tp isolate b

-10 = b

Answers

Answer:

54 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that the angles are supplementary, we can set them to be equal to 180 degrees when combined.

(7x+14) + (5x-26)=180

Drop the parentheses.

7x+14+5x-26=180

Combine like terms.

12x-12=180

Add 12 to both sides.

12x=192

Divide both sides by 12.

x=16

Since the question asks for the measure of angle B, we need to plug x back into that expression to find its measure.

5(16)-26

80-26

54

Angle B has a measure of 54 degrees.

An item is originally priced 68.89 dollars. It was on sale for 42 percent of the original price. Which is an estimate of the sale price? A. 2.00 dollars B.3.50 dollars C. 20 dollars or D. 28 dollars.

Answers

Answer:

D. 28 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

42% = .42

"of" means to multiply

68.89 × .42= 28.9

28 is the closest answer.

Answer:

The answer would be D.28 dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Its 28 dollars because,

Discount = Original Price x Discount %/100

Discount = 68.99 × 42/100

Discount = 68.99 x 0.42

You save = $28.98

Final Price = Original Price - Discount

Final Price = 68.99 - 28.9758

Final Price = $40.01

Steve has 8 biscuits in a tin. There are 5 digestive and 3 chocolate biscuits. Steve takes two biscuits at random from the tin. Work out the probability that he chooses two different types of biscuits.

Answers

Probability that he chooses two different types of biscuits is 53.65 %.

What is probability?

Probability is a measure of the likelihood of an event to occur. Many events cannot be predicted with total certainty. We can predict only the chance of an event to occur i.e. how likely they are to happen, using it.

Given

Total biscuits, n = 8

Digestive biscuits = 5

Chocolate biscuits = 3

There are two patterns to chose two different biscuits; a digestive then a chocolate or a chocolate and then a digestive.

∴ The probability of choosing a digestive then a chocolate

= [tex]\frac{5}{8}\times\frac{3}{7}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{15}{56}[/tex]

= 0.267

The probability of choosing chocolate and then a digestive.

= [tex]\frac{3}{8} \times\frac{5}{7}[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{15}{56}[/tex]

= 0.267

Hence, The combined probability

= [tex]\frac{15}{56}+ \frac{15}{56}[/tex]

= [tex]0.536[/tex]

= 53.6 5 %

Probability that he chooses two different types of biscuits is 53.65 %.

I have a two digit number the sum of the digits is 12 the first digit is 4 Less Than 3 times the second what is my number​

Answers

Answer:

84

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the first digit = x

Let the second digit =y

x + y = 12

x + 4 = 3*y

===========

From the second equation, we learn that x = 3y - 4

Put that into the first equation.

3y - 4 + y = 12          Combine the left side

4y - 4 = 12                Add 4 to both sides

4y = 16                     Divide by 4

4y/4 = 16/4        

y = 4  

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

x + 4 = 12

x + 4 - 4 = 12-4

x = 8

So the number is 84

A person has ​$28,000 invested in stock A and stock B. Stock A currently sells for ​$50 a share and stock B sells for ​$60 a share. If stock B triples in value and stock A goes up​ 50%, his stock will be worth ​$69,000. How many shares of each stock does he​ own?

Answers

Answer:

Number of stock A = 200

Number of stock B = 300

Step-by-step explanation:

Let :

Number of stock A shares = a

Number of stock B shares = b

Worth of stock A = 50 * a = 50a

Worth of stock B = 60 * b = 60b

50a + 60b = 28000 - - - (1)

Triple the value of stock B:

3 * 60 = 180

Value of stock A goes up by 50%

(100 + 50)% * 50 = 1.5 * 50 = 75

75a + 180b = 69000 - - - (2)

50a + 60b = 28000

75a + 180b = 69000

Multiply equation 1 by 3 and subtract

150a + 180b = 84000

75a + 180b = 69000

75a = 15000

a = 15000/75

a = 200

75(200) + 180b = 69000

15000 + 180b = 69000

180b = 69000 - 15000

180b = 54000

b = 300

We know that,

Pythagoras theoram is given by : p² + b² = h²

In a Pythagoras triplet, the longest side represents the hypotenuse of the triangle.

Then,

We should check that, whether the sum of squares of the smaller sides will be equal to the square of the third side or not. Then, we can determine the above easily.

Sum of squares of smaller sides:

= 6² + 8²

= 36 + 64

= 100

Square of longer side:

= 10²

= 100

Sum of squares of smaller sides = Square of longer side. Hence, 6,8,10 are Pythagorean triplets.
