Answers

Answer 1
....................
Adam, Bethany And Charles Played A Game.Adam Scored 8 More Points Than Charles.Bethany Scored 5 More
Answer 2

Points scored by Adam, Bethany and Charles are 25, 17 and 30 respectively.

What is algebra?

Algebra is a study of mathematical expressions, in which numbers and quantities are represented in formulas and equations by letters and other universal symbols.

Given that,

Adam scored 8 more points than Charles,

And Bethany scored 5 more points than Adam.

Also, total score is 72.

Let points scored by Adam is x,

Then point scored by Charles = x-8,

And point scored by Bethany = x+5.

Since, total score = 72

x + x-8 + x+5 = 72

3x - 3 = 72

3x = 75

x = 25

Points scored by Adam is x = 25,

Point scored by Charles = x-8 = 17,

And point scored by Bethany = x+5 = 30.

the ratio the ratio of two numbers is 5:6 . find the sum of two numbers is 55. find the number​

Answers

Answer:

25 and 30

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the ratio of 2 numbers is 5 : 6 = 5x : 6x ( x is a multiplier ), then

5x + 6x = 55, that is

11x = 55 ( divide both sides by 11 )

x = 5

Thus

5x = 5 × 5 = 25

6x = 6 × 5 = 30

Then the 2 numbers are 25 and 30

1) subtract the final value minus the starting value

279 - 180= 99

2) Divide that amount by the absolute value of the starting value

99 divided by 180 equals .55

3) Multiply by 100 to get percent increase

changes to 55.00 (final answer 55%)

4) If the percentage is negative, it means there was a decrease and not an increase.

Xavier can paint the average house in 4 hours, while Mohamad can do it in 12 hours. Find the number of hours, $$, that it would take to paint a house if they both worked together.

Answers

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Xavier can paint the average house in 4 hours

This means that in 1 hour, Xavier paints 1/4 of the house

Mohamad can do it in 12 hours

That means in 1 hour, Mohamad paints 1/12 of the house

Hence,

Together the amount of the house they can paint in 1 hour is

1/4 + 1/12

The Least common denominator is 12

(3 × 1 + 1 × 1)/1#

= 3 + 1/12

= 4/12

= 1/3

Together they can paint 1/3 of the house

The number of hours, that it would take to paint a house if they both worked together is

= 1/3 = 1

Cross Multiply

= 3 × 1

= 3 hours

A rectangle has a perimeter of 100 inches, and

one side has length x. Express the area of the

rectangle as a function of x.


Use the function in part a to find the dimensions of the rectangle with permitter 100 inches and the largest possible area

Answers

Answer:

a. A = 50x - x² b. length = 25 inches and width = 25 inches and the maximum area is 625 in²

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The perimeter of a rectangle P = 2(L + W) where L = length and W = width. Now, given that P = 100 inches and W = x, substituting these into the equation, we have

P = 2(L + W)

100 = 2(L + x)

dividing both sides by 2, we have

100/2 = L + x

50 = L + x

making L subject of the formula, we have

L = 50 - x

Now, the are of a rectangle A = LW. Substituting the values of L and W, we have

A = LW

A = (50 - x)x

A = 50x - x²

b. To find the largest possible area of rectangle with perimeter 100 inches, we differentiate A and equate it to zero to find the value of x that maximizes A.

So, dA/dx = d(50x - x²)/dx

dA/dx = d50x/dx - dx²/dx

dA/dx = 50 - 2x

dA/dx = 0 ⇒ 50 - 2x = 0

50 = 2x

dividing both sides by 2, we have

x = 50/2

x = 25

To find it this gives maximum value for A, we differentiate A twice.

d²A/dx² = d(50 - 2x)/dx

d²A/dx² = d50/dx - d2x/dx

d²A/dx² = -2

Since d²A/dx² = -2 < 0, so x = 25 gives maximum value for the area, A.

Since W = x = 25 in and L = 50 - x. So, L = 50 - 25 = 25 in

So, the maximum area A = LW = Lx = 25 in × 25 in = 625 in²

The dimension with perimeter 100 inches that give maximum area are length = 25 inches and width = 25 inches and the maximum area is 625 in²

the area of rectangle is x^2-3x+2. Find a possible length and width of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer:

x - 2 and x - 1 can be possible length and width of the rectangle.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = x² - 3x + 2

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

To find possible length and width we can factorize the above expression.

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

x² - 3x + 2 ( 2 = -1 × -2 )

x² - x - 2x + 2 ( 3 = -1 + -2 )

x(x - 1) + -2(x - 1)

(x - 2) (x - 1)

◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇◇

x - 2 and x - 1 can be possible length and width of the rectangle.

Answers

Answer: y=-2x-9

Step-by-step explanation:

If ANGL is a square, then NG and LG are adjacent sides.

Adjacent sides are perpendicular.  [Each angle is 90°]

The equation of line NG is [tex]Y=\dfrac12 X-6[/tex].

By comparing it to equation in slope intercept form y=mx+c ( where , m= slope , c=y-interecpt)

slope =[tex]\dfrac12[/tex]

Let slope of LG be n, then

Find the slope of the line that goes through the points (9,-13) and (7,3).

Answers

hi

You have two points     A ( X;Y)  and B ( X ; Y)

 slope is   :    ( Yb -Ya)   / (Xb -Xa )

(3 - (-13) ) / ( 7 - 9)  =    (3 +13)  /  -2 =   16/-2  =  - 16/2 = -8  

slope is  -8

Answer:

-8

Step-by-step explanation:

The slope formula is as follows:

m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x2

You would first plug in the points into the formula, and this is what you would get:

m = 3 - (-13) / 7 - 9

From there, because of additive inverse, the negative signs would become + signs.

m = 3 + 13 / 7 - 9

You would now add/subtract.

m = 16 / -2

And lastly, you would simplify.

m = 8/-1

8/-1 is the same thing as a slope of -8.
