the price of a barrel oil currently cost $120. Next month if the price increases by 1/12 of the current cost, then what would be the new cost of a barrel of oil?

Answer: The numbers are 2 and 2.5

Explanation:

Let one number be "x" and another "y", Note: 9/2 = 4.5 [in decimal form]

[tex]\rule{185}{2}[/tex]

Their product :

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf x \ \cdot \ y = 5[/tex]    

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf x = \dfrac{5}{y} \quad \ \ \leftarrow \quad equation _1[/tex]

Their sum :

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf x + y = 4.5[/tex]

[tex]\hookrightarrow \sf x = 4.5-y \quad \ \ \leftarrow \ equation_2[/tex]

Solve them simultaneously:

[tex]\rightarrow \sf 4.5 - y = \dfrac{5}{y}[/tex]

cross multiply

[tex]\rightarrow \sf y(4.5 - y) = 5[/tex]

distribute inside parenthesis

[tex]\rightarrow \sf -y^2 +4.5y - 5 = 0[/tex]

multiply by -1

[tex]\rightarrow \sf y^2 -4.5y + 5 = 0[/tex]

factor them out

[tex]\rightarrow \sf ( y - 2.5)(y - 2)= 0[/tex]

set to 0

[tex]\rightarrow \sf y = 2.5, \ 2[/tex]

Another number:

When one number is 2.5, then another: 4.5 - 2.5 = 2

When one number is 2, then another: 4.5 - 2 = 2.5

Check:

The numbers obtained by the given condition that the product of two numbers is 5 if their sum is 9/2 will be x =( 2 or 5/2) and y = ( 2 or 5/2).

Determine the known quantities and designate the unknown quantity as a variable while trying to set up or construct a linear equation to fit a real-world application.

In other words, an equation is a set of variables that are constrained through a situation or case.

Let's say the first number is x and the second is y then

Product xy =  5

Sum x + y = 9/2

substitute y = 9/2 - x into first

x( 9/2 - x) = 5

2x² - 9x + 10 = 0

2x² -5x -4x + 10 = 0

x( 2x - 5 ) -2( 2x -5 ) = 0

(x -2)(2x -5) = 0

x =2 and x = 5/2

Corresponding to x y will be y = 2 and y = 5/2.

Answer:

7 1/5 cups of flour

Step-by-step explanation:

divide 3/5 which is 0.6 then multiply that by 12, which is 7.2

then convert that into a fraction which is 7 1/5

The functions will be defined as y = x² if 0 ≤ x < 3, y = -x + 10 if 3 < x ≤ 6, and y = x + 2 if 6 ≤ x ≤ 10.

A statement, principle, or policy that creates the link between two variables is known as a function. Functions are found all across mathematics and are required for the creation of complex relationships.

The graph is given below.

The function can be defined as

The parabolic equation will be

f(x) = x²

The equation of the absolute function will be

f(x) = |x - 6| + 4

Then we have

[tex]f(x) = \left\{\begin{matrix}y=x^2 & 0\leq x < 3 \\\\y=-x+10 & 3 < x\leq 6 \\\\y=x+2 & 6\leq x \leq 10 \\\end{matrix}\right.[/tex]

Answer:

It should be -1.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Hope this helps :)

The correct interpretation of the probability P(X < 5) is; 0.8

We are given the probability of the spin values are;

Probability of Spin Value of 0 = 0.4

Probability of Spin Value of 1 = 0.2

Probability of Spin Value of 2 = 0.2

Probability of Spin Value of 5 = 0.1

Probability of Spin Value of 10 = 0.1

P(X < 5) simply means the probability of getting a spin value less than 5. Thus;

P(X < 5) = P(0) + P(1) + P(2)

P(X < 5) = 0.4 + 0.2 + 0.2

P(X < 5) = 0.8

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

41.67 ounce of pure water should be added to 25 ounces of the 8% salt solution to dilute it to a 3% solution

An equation is an expression that shows the relationship between two or more numbers and variables.

Let x represent the amount of pure water needed to dilute the solution. Hence:

8% * 25 = 3% * (x + 25)

2 = 0.03x + 0.75

x = 41.67 ounce

41.67 ounce of pure water should be added to 25 ounces of the 8% salt solution to dilute it to a 3% solution

Answer:

140

Step-by-step explanation:

Angles in a triangle add up 180 :

180 = 107 + 33 + y

y = 180 - (107+33)

y = 180 - 140

y = 40

Angles on a straight line add up to 180 so :

180 = x + y

180 = x + 40

x= 180 - 40

x = 140

Hope this helped and have a good day

Answer:

x = 140°

Step-by-step explanation:

Concepts

The Exterior Angle Theorem states that the two remote angles in a triangle is equal to the exterior angle.

Application

In this case, the two remotes angles are 107 and 33°, and the exterior angle is x. Now, all we have to do is just add 107 and 33 to get our answer.

Solution

Answer:

  (a)  1024 ways

  (b)  243 ways

Step-by-step explanation:

When answers are independent, the total number of ways all questions can be answered is the product of the number of ways each question can be answered.

__

The first question can have one answer 4 ways. The second question can be answered 4 ways for each of the ways the first question was answered. That is, the two questions can be answered 4×4 = 16 ways. Similarly, each additional question multiplies the number of ways the questions can be answered by 4.

The 5 questions can be answered 4×4×4×4×4 = 4^5 = 1024 ways.

__

There are 3 ways to answer the first question incorrectly. Each additional question can be answered incorrectly 3 ways for each of the ways previous questions were answered. The total number of ways all questions can be answered incorrectly is ...

  3^5 = 243

A student can answer all questions wrong in 243 different ways.

By using the given ratio, we will conclude that she made 24 baskets.

We know that the ratio of the number of baskets she missed to the number of baskets she made is 3:8.

This means, for each 3 missed baskets, she made 8.

Here we know that she missed 9. If we divide that by 3, we get:

9/3 = 3.

This means that she missed 3 baskets 3 times. And for each one of these 3 times she makes 8 baskets (for the given ratio).

Then we conclude that she makes 8*3 = 24 baskets.

Fraction refers to a part of a whole; e.g when cup is not completely filled, it covers only a part of the cup

The term fraction refers to a part of a whole. To design an instructional activity that  could help learners recognize that decimal fractions can be applied across environmental situations, we could look at certain things in the house.

For instance, when cup is not completely filled, it contains water that covers only an fraction of the cup. Also, we could boil a part and not a whole cup of rice. These are all examples of fractions.

Total surface area:

⇒ four rectangles + two squares

⇒ 4(Length × Width) + 2(side × side)

⇒ 4(6 × 1.5) + 2(1.5 × 1.5)

⇒ 36 + 4.5

Answer:

The correct answer is x = 51.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of two intersecting lines. We are asked to find the value of x.

We can see that both angles are supplementary (adding up to 180 degrees), so we can set an equation as:

x + 23 + 2x + 4 = 180

x + 2x + 4 + 23 = 180

3x + 27 = 180

3x + 27 - 27 + 180 - 27

3x = 153

3x/3 = 153/3

x = 51

Therefore, the value of x is 51.

Hope this helps:) Goodluck!

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

2x + 4 + x + 23 = 180

3x + 27 = 180
