The ratio of Ed's toy cars to Pete's toy cars was initially 5:2. After Ed gave 30 toy cars to Pete, they each had an equal number of cars. How many toy cars did they have altogether?

Answers

Answer:

140 toy cars

Step-by-step explanation:

The ratio of Ed's toy car to Pete's toy car is initially given as 5:2

Ed gave Pete a total number of 30 cars

Let x represent the greatest common factor that exists between both number

Number of Ed's car is represented as 5x

Number of Pete car is represented as 2x

Since they each have an equal number of cars which is 30 then we can solve for x as follows

5x-30=2x+30

Collect the like terms

5x-2x= 30+30

3x= 60

Divide both sides by the coefficient of x which is 3

3x/3=60/3

x=20

Ed's car is 5x, we substitute 20 for x

5(20)

= 100 cars

Pete car is 2x,we substitute 20 for x

2(20)

= 40 cars

Therefore, the total number of cars can be calculated as follows

= 100+40

= 140 toy cars

Hence they have 140 toy cars altogether

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

l = 14j + 3k

Solve for k

l = 14j + 3k

Subtract 14j from both sides

l - 14j =14j + 3k - 14j

l - 14j = 3k

Choose the equivalent system of linear equations that will produce the same solution as the one given below 4x-y=-11 2x+3y=5

Answers

Answer: x = -2 , y = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

4x-y=-11

2x+3y=5

Solve 4x-y=-11 for y

Add -4x to both sides

4x-y+-4x=-11+-4x

-y=-4x-11

Divide both sides by -1

-y/-1=-4x-11/-1

y=4x+11

Substitute 4x+11 for y in 2x +3y=5

2x+3y=5

2x+3(4x+11)=5

Simplify both sides of the equation

14x+33=5

Add -33 to both sides

14x+33+-33=5+-33

14x=-28

Divide both sides by 14

14x/14=-28/14

x=-2

Substitute -2 for x in y= 4x+11

y=4x+11

y=(4)(-2)+11

Simplify both sides of the equation

{Y=(x-2)^2+2
{Y+4=3x

Answers

Answer:

(5, 11) and (2, 2)

Step-by-step explanation:

y = (x-2)² + 2

y + 4 = 3x

(x-2)² + 2 + 4 = 3x

x² - 4x + 4 + 6 = 3x

x² - 7x + 10 = 0

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

x - 5 = 0, x = 5

x - 2 = 0, x = 2

y = (5-2)² + 2 = 11

(5, 11)

y = (2-2)² + 2 = 2

(2, 2)

Answer:

[tex]\large \boxed{\sf \bf \ \text{ The solutions are } x=2, y=2 \text{ and } x=5, y=11.} \ \ }[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello, please consider the following.

We want to solve this system of equations.

[tex]\begin{cases}&y=(x-2)^2+2\\&y+4=3x\end{cases}[/tex]

This is equivalent to (subtract 4 from the second equation).

[tex]\begin{cases}&y=(x-2)^2+2\\&y=3x-4\end{cases}[/tex]

Then, we can write y = y, meaning:

[tex](x-2)^2+2=3x-4\\\\\text{*** We develop the left side. ***}\\\\x^2-4x+4+2=3x-4 \\\\\text{*** We simplify. *** }\\\\x^2-4x+6=3x-4\\\\\text{*** We subtract 3x-4 from both sides. ***}\\\\x^2-4x+6-3x+4=0\\\\\text{*** We simplify. *** }\\\\x^2-7x+10=0[/tex]

[tex]\text{*** The sum of the zeroes is 7 and the product 10 = 5 x 2 ***}\\\\\text{*** We can factorise. ***}\\\\x^2-5x-2x+10=x(x-5)-2(x-5)=(x-2)(x-5)=0\\\\x-2 = 0 \ \ or \ \ x-5 = 0\\\\x= 2 \ \ or \ \ x=5[/tex]

For x = 2, y =0+2=2 (from the first equation) and for x = 5 y=3*5-4=15-4=11 (from the second equation)

So the solutions are (2,2) and (5,11)

if 12 1/2% of a sum of money is $40, what is the TOTAL sum of money?

Answers

Answer:

$320

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the total sum of money be $x.

Therefore,

12 1/2% of x = 40

25/2% * x = 40

0.125 * x= 40

x = 40/0.125

x = $320

Thus, total sum of money is $320.

The sum of ages Afful and Naomi is 34. In 5 years time , Afful will be 2 times the age on Naomi now. How old are they now.

Answers

Let [tex]A[/tex] represent the age of Afful and [tex]N[/tex] represent the age of Naomi.

The sum of their ages is 34. In other words:

[tex]A+N=34[/tex]

In 5 years time, Afful will be two times the age of Naomi now. In other words:

[tex]A+5=2N[/tex]

Solve for the system. Substitute.

[tex]A+N=34\\A=34-N\\34-N+5=2N\\39=3N\\N=13\\\\A=34-N\\A=34-(13)\\A=21[/tex]

Afful is currently 21 and Noami is currently 13.

Answer:

Naomi=x

Afful=2x

In 5 years time= +5

So Naomi=x+5

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is 141 feet, and the length is twice the width. What are the dimensions ?

Answers

Answer:

The width is 23.5 ft and the length is 47 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is given by

P = 2(l+w)

141 = 2(l+w)

The length is twice the width

l = 2w

141 = 2 ( 2w+w)

141 = 2( 3w)

141 = 6w

Divide each side by 6

141/6 = 6w/6

23.5 = w

l = 2w = 2(23.5) = 47

The width is 23.5 ft and the length is 47 ft

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{Width = 23.5 \ feet}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{Length = 47 \ feet}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Length be l and Width be w

Perimeter = 2(Length) + 2(Width)

Condition # 1:

2l+2w = P

=> 2 l + 2 w = 141

Condition # 2:

=> l = 2w

Putting the second equation in the first one

=> 2(2w)+2w = 141

=> 4w + 2w = 141

=> 6w = 141

Dividing both sides by 6

=> Width = 23.5 feet

Given that

=> l = 2w

=> l = 2(23.5)

=> Length = 47 feet

Write each of the following expressions without using absolute value.

|a−7|−|a−9|, if a<7
PLEASE HELP!!!! D:

Answers

Answer:  -2

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

If a < 7, then |a-7| = -(a-7) = -a+7 based on how absolute value functions are constructed. We're using the idea that

[tex]|x-k| = \begin{cases}x-k \ \text{ if } \ x \ge k\\ -(x-k) \ \text{ if } \ x < k\end{cases}[/tex]

Also, if a < 7, then |a-9| = -(a-9) = -a+9. This is true whenever 'a' is less than 9 for similar reasoning as above.

---------

So we have,

|a-7| - |a-9| = -a+7 - (-a+9) = -a+7+a-9 = -2

As long as a < 7, the result of |a-7| - |a-9| will always be -2.

---------

As an example, let's say a = 0

|a-7| - |a-9| = |0-7| - |0-9|

|a-7| - |a-9| = |-7| - |-9|

|a-7| - |a-9| = 7 - 9

|a-7| - |a-9| = -2

I recommend you try out other values of 'a' to see if you get -2 or not. Of course only pick values that are smaller than 7.

In a class Vidya ranks 7th from the top. Divya
is 7 ranks ahead of Medha and 3 ranks
behind Vidya. Sushma who is 4th from the
bottom is 32 ranks behind Medha. How many
students are there in the class?​

Answers

Answer:

52 students

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question above, we have the following information:

a) Vidya ranks 7th from the top.

Mathematically,

Vidya = 7th student

b) Divya 3 ranks behind Vidya.

Divya = Vidya + 3

Hence, Mathematically:

Divya = 7 + 3 = 10

Divya = 10th student

c) Also, Divya is 7 ranks ahead of Medha.

Mathematically,

Medha = 10 + 7= 17

Medha= 17th student

d)Sushma is 32 ranks behind Medha

Mathematically,

Sushma = Medha + 32

= 17 + 32 = 49

Sushma is the 49th student

Therefore, since, Sushma is 4th from the bottom, total number of students is:

49 + 3 = 52 students

On a coordinate plane, a graph shows Street on the x-axis and Avenue on the y-axis. A line is drawn from Tia to Lei. Tia is at (4, 8) and Lei is at (12, 20). Tia lives at the corner of 4th Street and 8th Avenue. Lei lives at the corner of 12th Street and 20th Avenue. The fruit market is Three-fourths the distance from Tia’s home to Lei's home.

Answers

Answer:

(10, 17)

Step-by-step explanation:

It might be easier to explain with a picture or drawing, but I am new to this, so I would try using words.

Assuming the fruit market is on that straight line from Tia's home to Lei's, So we look at both address (coordinates)

From Tia to Lei, x coordinate is from 4 to 12, that's increased by 8, divide by 4, one step is 2.

y coordinate is from 8 to 20, an increase of 12, divide by 4 again, one step is 3.

The fruit market is at 3/4 distance, so 3 steps, on both x and y coordinates.

x: 4+6 = 10

y: 8+9=17

The fruit market is at point (10,17)

What is graph?

A graph can be defined as a pictorial representation or a diagram that represents data or values.

The point (x,y) which divides the segment AB with endpoints at A(x₁,y₁) and B(x₂,y₂) in ratio m:n has cordinates

[tex]x= \dfrac{nx_1+nx_2}{m+n}[/tex]

[tex]y= \dfrac{ny_1+ny_2}{m+n}[/tex]

Tia is at P(4, 8) and Lei is at Q(12, 20).

The fruit market (F) is three-fourths the distance from Tia’s home to Lei's home, then PM : PQ = 3:4 or PM : MQ = 3:1

So,

[tex]x= \dfrac{1.4+3.12}{3+1} = \dfrac{4+36}{4} = \dfrac{40}{4} = 10 \\y= \dfrac{1.8+3.20}{3+1} = \dfrac{8+60}{4} = \dfrac{68}{4} = 17[/tex]

Hence, the fruit market is at point (10,17) which means it is placed at the corner of 10th Street and 17th Avenue.

According to campus policy, you have a right to live in an uncluttered apartment. Suppose she gets a $200 benefit from being messy but imposes a $100 cost on you. The Coase theorem would suggest that an efficient solution would be for your roommate to Most US adults have social ties with a large number of people, including friends, family, co-workers, and other acquaintances. It is nearly impossible for most people to reliably list all the people they know, but using a mathematical model, social analysts estimate that, on average, a US adult has social ties with people.1 A survey of randomly selected US adults who are cell phone users finds that the average number of social ties for the cell phone users in the sample was with a standard deviation of . Does the sample provide evidence that the average number of social ties for a cell phone user is significantly different from , the hypothesized number for all US adults?
