Jesse and Amir were assigned the same book to read. Jesse started reading on Saturday, and he is reading 30 pages a day. Amir didn't start until Sunday, but he is reading 35 pages a day.

1( Write an equation to represent the number of pages Amir has read.

Use x to represent the number of days Amir has been reading and y to represent the number of pages he has read.


2( Write an equation to represent the number of pages Jesse has read.


Using x, (the number of days Amir has been reading), write an expression to represent the number of days Jesse has been reading. Remember that Jesse started reading one day before Amir. Use this expression to write an equation for the number of pages Jesse has read. Let y represent the number of pages read.


3(Write the system of equations using your answers from questions 1 and 2.


4(You will use substitution to solve this system. Which variable will you substitute for and why? Show the equation that results from the substitution.


5(Solve the system of equations. Show your work.


6(Interpret your solution. How many days does it take Amir to catch Jesse? At that time, how many pages have they read?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: 6 days

210 pages

Step-by-step explanation: As stipulated by the question, let the number of days Amir has been reading be x and the number of pages he had read to be y.

Now since he reads 35 pages per day.

Then mathematically;

y = 35x

For Jesse, He started reading a day before, this means that the number of days he had read would be x + 1. Since he reads 30 per day, the total number of pages he would have read is 30(x+1)

To find the number of days which is x, we have to assume that at a point in time, the number of books they would have read would be the same meaning that

Also; y = 30(x + 1)

Equating the two situations

35x = 30(x + 1)

35x = 30x + 30

35x -30x = 30

5x = 30

x = 30/5

x = 6 days

This means that it will take Amir 6 days to catch Jese.

The number of books they would have read by then is y = 35x = 30(x + 1)

= 35 * 6 or 30(6+1)

= 210

Answer 2

Answer:

1. y = 35x

2. y = 30x + 1

3. 35x = 30x + 1

   35x = 30x + 30

   35x -30x = 30

   5x = 30

   x = 6      (30/5 = 6)

This is what I got so far, I dont really understand the rest.

Your middle school is having a fall festival. Admission into the carnival is $3 and each game inside the carnival costs $.25. Write an inequality that represents the possible number of games that can be played having $10. What is the maximum number of games that can be played?

A). 0.25x + 3 < 10; 28 games

B). 0.25x + 3 is greater than or equal to 10; 28 games

C). 0.25x - 3 < 10; 52 games

D). 0.25x- 3 is greater than or equal to 10; 52 games

Answers

Answer:  0.25x + 3 ≤ 10;  28 games

Note how we have a "less than or equal to" sign, instead of simply a "less than" sign.

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

Work Shown:

x = number of games

0.25x = amount spent on games only

0.25x+3 = total amount spent (games+admission)

total spent ≤ $10   since $10 is the most we have

0.25x + 3 ≤ 10 is the inequality we need to solve

0.25x ≤ 10-3  .... subtract 3 from both sides

0.25x ≤ 7

x ≤ 7/0.25   ............ divide both sides by 0.25

x ≤ 28

Since x is less than or equal to 28, this means the largest x can get is 28.

We can think of this as the ceiling value so to speak.

So the maximum number of games that can be played is 28.

Clare has a set of cubes with a volume of 1 cm³ each. She also has a box with a volume of 24 cm³. Exactly two layers of cubes can fit in this box. How many cubes must be in each layer? its a school problem I'm having trouble with

Answers

Answer:

12 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

If the total volume of the box is 24 cm³ and the volume of each cube is 1 cm³ then that means that 24 total cubes can fit perfectly inside the box. Since there can only be two layers of cubes then we simply need to divide the total amount of cubes that will fit in the box by 2 to find the number of cubes in each layer...

24 / 2 = 12 cubes

Finally, we can see that each layer within the box will contain 12 cubes

Step-by-step explanation:

First you have to find the slope

[tex]m = \frac{7 - 3}{-3 - 3} = \frac{4}{-6} = -\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

Now use the point-slope form by using one of the points and the slope.  Let's use the point (3, 3)

[tex]y - 3 = -\frac{2}{3} (x - 3)[/tex]

Multiply thru the equation by 3 to remove the fraction

3y - 9 = -2(x - 3) =

3y - 9 = -2x +6

3y = -2x + 15

[tex]y = -\frac{2}{3}x + 5[/tex] is the equation in slope-intercept form

How would you calculate the area of the quarter circle represented in the upper left hand corner of this figure?

(see pictures for answer options)

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the area of a quarter circle, find the area of the whole circle by using the formula A = pi * r^2 and then divide by 4. To find the perimeter of the quarter circle, find the circumference of the whole circle, divide by 4, and then add the radius twice.

Answer: [tex]\frac{\pi *r^{2} }{4}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:  We know that the formula for the area of a whole circle is πr². A quarter circle is one-fourth of a circle, so if we divide the area of the whole circle into four, we can find the area of the quarter circle: [tex]\frac{\pi *r^{2} }{4}[/tex]
