Adam, Barry, and Charles visited a small farmers market last Saturday. Adam purchased 3 dozen eggs, 1 wheel of cheese, and 5 pounds of potatoes. Barry bought 1 dozen eggs and 10 pounds of potatoes, while Charles purchased 2 dozen eggs and 2 pounds of potatoes. If Adam's bill was $38.25, Barry's $36.50 and Charles' $17.20, how much did a dozen eggs, a wheel of cheese and a pound of potatoes cost?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A pound of potato costs $3.10

A dozen egg costs $5.5

A wheel of cheese costs $6.25

Step-by-step explanation:

Represent

- a dozen egg with D

- a wheel of cheese with W

- a pound of potato with P

For Adam:

[tex]3D + W + 5P = 38.25[/tex] ---- (1)

For Barry:

[tex]D + 10P = 36.50[/tex] ---- (2)

For Charles:

[tex]2D + 2P = 17.20[/tex] ---- (3)

Make D the subject in (2)

[tex]D = 36.50 - 10P[/tex]

Substitute 36.50 - 10P for D in (3)

[tex]2(36.50 - 10P) + 2P = 17.20[/tex]

[tex]73 - 20P + 2P = 17.20[/tex]

[tex]73 - 18P= 17.20[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]- 18P= 17.20 - 73[/tex]

[tex]- 18P= -55.8[/tex]

[tex]18P= 55.8[/tex]

Solve for P

[tex]P = 55.8/18[/tex]

[tex]P = 3.1[/tex]

Substitute 3.1 for P in [tex]D = 36.50 - 10P[/tex]

[tex]D=36.50 - 10 * 3.1[/tex]

[tex]D=36.50 - 31[/tex]

[tex]D=5.5[/tex]

Substitute 3.1 for P and 5.5 for D in [tex]3D + W + 5P = 38.25[/tex]

[tex]3(5.5) + W + 5(3.1) = 38.25[/tex]

[tex]16.5 + W + 15.5 = 38.25[/tex]

Solve for W

[tex]W = 38.25 - 16.5 - 15.5[/tex]

[tex]W = 6.25[/tex]

Through (-3,-2), perpendicular to y=-x-4

Answers

Answer:

your answer is not perpendicular

Step-by-step explanation:

so first you put the y which is -2 and the -x with -3

[tex]-2=(-3)-4[/tex]

when you subtract the -3 from 4 you will get 7

[tex]4-(-3)=7[/tex]

7 is not equal to -2 so it is not perpendicular

[tex]7\neq -2[/tex]

Two sides of a triangle are equal in length, and the third slide is 5 less than the length of the equal sides. If the perimeter of the triangle is 49, how long are it's sides?

Answers

Answer:

The sides are 14.6, 14.6, 9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given

Perimeter= 49

let the equal sides of the triangle be x

so the third side will be x-5

hence the first side is=x

the second side =x

and the third side=x-5

the perimeter of triangle is

P= A+B+C

where A B and C represents all the sides

49=x+x+(x-5)

solve for x

49=2x+x-5

49=3x-5

49-5=3x

44=3x

x=44/3

x=14.6

Hence the third side is

=x-5=14.6-5

=9.6

The sides are 14.6, 14.6, 9.6

B. 2,324 inches

D. 2,515 inches
(SHOW YOUR WORK FOR A BRAINLIEST)

Answers

Answer:

C

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

B. 2,324 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

You need to find the circumference of the bike wheels first so that you know how much she would travel if her wheels rotated 1 time. Circumference of circle = pi × d

1 time = 20pi

37 times = 20pi × 37

              = 740pi

              = 2324.778564...inches

The diameter of a cartwheel is 2.1 m. Find the distance travelled when it completes 100 revolutions.

You need to find the circumference of the cartwheels first so that you know how much it would travel if her wheels revoluted 1 time. Circumference of circle = pi × d

1 revolution = 2.1pi

100 revolutions = 2.1pi × 100

                          = 210pi

                          = 659.7344573...m

The diameter of a circular park is 98 m. Find the cost of fencing it at $4 per meter.

You need to find the circumference of the park first so that you know how much it would cost. Circumference of circle = pi × d

Circumference of park = 98pi

Cost of fencing = 4 × 98pi

                          = 392pi

                          = $1231.50

                          ≈ $1232.00

Given functions

r(x) = x + 4s(x) = 2x²

Finding (r-s)(x), (r+s)(x), (r*s)(-1)

(r - s)(x) = r(x) - s(x) = x + 4 - 2x² = - 2x² + x + 4(r + s)(x) = r(x) + s(x) = x + 4 + 2x² =  2x² + x + 4(r*s)(-1) = r(-1)*s(-1) = (-1 + 4)*(-1)² = 3*1 = 3

Answer:

1. - 2x² + x + 4

2. 2x² + x + 4

3. Answer = 3

Example functions we are given:

r(x) = x + 4

s(x) = 2x²

Now, we Find (r-s)(x), (r+s)(x), (r*s)(-1)

(r - s)(x) = r(x) - s(x) = x + 4 - 2x² = - 2x² + x + 4

(r + s)(x) = r(x) + s(x) = x + 4 + 2x² =  2x² + x + 4

(r*s)(-1) = r(-1)*s(-1) = (-1 + 4)*(-1)² = 3*1 = 3

Your buddy constructs an angle bisector BD−→− for ∠ABC. She says that m∡ABD and m∡DBC formed by the angle bisector are congruent. Do you think that is always, sometimes or never true for angle bisectors?

Answers

Answer:

Always true

Step-by-step explanation:

The definition of an interior or internal angle bisector is the the dividing line segment that splits the angle into two  equal angles (parts)

Therefore, given that the segment BD is the bisector of ∠ABC, then the formed angles m∡ABD and m∡DBC are, by definition of bisected ∠ABC, always congruent

Leslie and Surekha were standing on opposite sides of a road. Suddenly, they spotted a puppy stranded on the road and both rushed straight to where the puppy was, to pick it up. If Leslie ran at an angle of 35 degrees to the edge of the road and Surekha at an angle of 70 degrees, at what angle did their path meet?

Answers

Answer:

75°

Step-by-step explanation:

we can form a triangle to help us understand how to solve this problem:

                                                    puppy

∠ Leslie = 35°                                                   ∠ Surekha = 70°

If Leslie's angle is 35° and Surekha's angle is 70°, that gives us a total of 105°. Since the sum of the triangle's three angles is 180°, then the angle at which they will meet is 180° - 105° = 75°

In this exercise, we have to calculate the angle of the path that they met, so we will have:

75°

We know that the geometric figure in question is a triangle and that the sum of its internal angles must be equal to 180 degrees, thus:

[tex]180-105=X\\180-105=75\\[/tex]

Carlos bought 4 yards of packing tape. He used 1 3/5 yards on a package for his father and 2 1/3 for a package. How many yards of packing tape does Carlos have left (only write the fraction with no words as your answer)?

Answers

Answer:

1/15 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

Total yards of packing tape = 4 yards

Yards used for his father = 1 3/5 yards

Yards used for another package = 2 1/3 yards

Total yards used = 1 3/5 + 2 1/3

= 8/5 + 7/3

= 24+35/15

= 59/15 yards

How many yards of packing tape does Carlos have left

Total yards left = Total yards of packing tape - Total yards used

= 4 - 59/15

= 60-59/15

= 1/15

Total yards left = 1/15 yards
