There are 15 plates in the kitchen cabinet. The diameter of each plate is either 9 inches or 12 inches. The diameter of all 15 plates combined is 150 inches.



Which system of equations can be used to find the number of 9-inch plates, x, and the number of 12-inch plates, y, that are in the cabinet?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The important thing to remember here is that the number of plates is a different equation from the one that uses the diameter of the plates. The number of plates will make up one equation; the diameter of the plates will make up the other equation. As far as the number of plates go, we have 15 total. Let's call the 9" plates x and the 12" plates y according to the instruction given. If we have a mixture of 9 and 12 inch plates and we have a total of 15 plates, the first equation regarding the number of plates is

x + y = 15

Now on to the diameters. The 9" plates are x's and the 12" plates are y's and the inches refer to the diameter, of which the total is 150". Therefore, the second equation regarding the diameter of the plates is

9x + 12y = 150

Those 2 equations make up the system. It doesn't say you have to solve it, but if you did, you would find that there are 10 9" plates and 5 12" plates in the cabinet.

find all the possible of x for which of the below is true:

[tex] \frac{2x}{x + 3} + \frac{3}{x - 3} = \frac{8}{x^{2} - 9 } [/tex]

Answers

Answer:

x = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] , x = 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]\frac{2x}{x+3}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{3}{x-3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{x^2-9}[/tex] ← denominator is a difference of squares

[tex]\frac{2x}{x+3}[/tex] + [tex]\frac{3}{x-3}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{8}{(x+3)(x-3)}[/tex]

Multiply through by (x + 3)(x - 3) to clear the fractions

2x(x - 3) + 3(x + 3) = 8 ← distribute left side and simplify

2x² - 6x + 3x + 9 = 8

2x² - 3x + 9 = 8 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

2x² - 3x + 1 = 0 ← in standard form

(2x - 1)(x - 1) = 0 ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

2x - 1 = 0 ⇒ 2x = 1 ⇒ x = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

x - 1 = 0 ⇒ x = 1

Jensen goes to the store with $4. He buys 3 pencils for $0.70 each and
some erasers. Each eraser costs $0.50. Enter the maximum number of
erasers he can buy.

Answers

Answer:

3 erasers.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let p = pencils and e = erasers. Since we know that Jensen has $4, we can set up the following inequality and solve for e.

0.70p + 0.50e ≤ 4

0.70(3) + 0.50e ≤ 4

2.10 + 0.50e ≤ 4

0.50e ≤ 1.90

e ≤ 3.8

Since erasers are usually bought as whole items, the maximum amount of erasers Jensen can buy is 3.

Answer:

C = 12 pi

Step-by-step explanation:

The radius is 6

The circumference is given by

C = 2 * pi *r

C = 2 * pi *6

C = 12 pi

Answer:

12π

Step-by-step explanation:

the circumference of the circle can be found using the formula: 2πr.

RW is the radius, and we know that RW=6, so we can plug this into the formula:

C=2πr

C=2π(6)

C=12π

so, the circumference of the circle is 12π.

a cylindrical pipe made of metal 3 m long is 3 cm if the internal radius of the pipe is 10 cm what is the volume of metal used in making the pipe​

Answers

Answer:

857.766cm^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data

Lenght = 3m

Internal radius r = 3m

External radius R= 10m

Volume of pipe= πr^2h

Volume of metal= External - Internal

Volume= πR^2h-πr^2h

Volume= πh(R^2-r^2)

Volume= 3.142*3(10^2-3^2)

Volume= 3.142*3(100-9)

Volume= 9.426*(91)

Volume= 857.766cm^3

Hence the volume of the metal is 857.766cm^3

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

its about 263.08!

Answer: about 263.08 sq meters (choice C)

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

Explanation:

We'll use this formula

S = (x/360)*A

where,

S = area of pie slice, aka sectorx = central angle in degreesA = area of full circle

We'll plug in S = 85.5 and x = 117 to find solve for A.

S = (x/360)*A

85.5 = (117/360)*A

85.5*(360/117) = A

A = 85.5*(360/117)

A = 263.076923076923 which is approximate

A = 263.08 square meters (choice C)

------------

Side note: As the formula suggests, the x/360 portion is the fractional portion of the full area A. For example, if x = 180 degrees, then x/360 = 180/360 = 1/2, meaning we'll take half of the full circle area to get S.

Solve the triangle for all missing sides and angles

Answers

Answer:

a=9

c= 17.5

angles: a =31, b =59, c =90

Step-by-step explanation:

a:

tan (31) = a/15 *cross multiply*

a = 15 (tan (31))

a = 9

c:

*use pythagorean theorum*

9^2 + 15^2 = c^2

81 + 225 = c^2

306 = c^2

17.5 = c

Answer:

B = 59

a = 9.01

c = 17.49

Step-by-step explanation:

Angle B

180 - 90 - 31 = 59

c

The sine of an angle is equal to the ratio of the opposite side to the hypotenuse.

sin(B)=opp/hyp

sin(B)=15/c

sin(59)=15/c

c=15/sin(59)

c=17.49

Find the last side of the triangle using the Pythagorean theorem.

[tex]a^{2} +b^{2} =c^{2} \\a^{2} +15^{2} =17.49^{2} \\\\a^{2} =17.49^{2} -15^{2}\\a=9.01[/tex]

During one month, the mean high temperature in Boise, Idaho, was 52.1°F with a standard deviation of 6.5° F. During the same month, the mean high temperature in Death Valley, California, was 81.9° F with a standard deviation of 6.4° F. Select all the statements that are true. ​

Answers

Answer:

B. The average high temperature in Death Valley was greater than the average in Boise

C. The variation of high temperature in Death valley was about the same as the variation in Boise

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: In a normal distribution, about 95% of the values are ±2 standard deviations from the mean. ±2 standard deviation from the mean high temperature of Boise is 39.1 to 65.1. Therefore, option A is wrong

Step 2: The average temperature high temperature of each of the places isngiven by their mean high temperatures.

The mean high temperature in Boise, Idaho, was 52.1°F while the mean high temperature in Death Valley, California, was 81.9°F.

Difference between the mean high temperatures is (81.9 - 52.1) = 29.8°F

Therefore, the average high temperature in Death Valley was greater than the average in Boise. Option B is correct.

Step 3: Standard deviation measures how spread out data is. It is a measure of variation of data.

The standard deviation of the high temperature in Boise, Idaho was 6.5° F, while the standard deviation of the high temperature in Death Valley, California was 6.4° F. This two values are about the same. Therefore, option C is correct.

Step 4: In a normal distribution, about 68% of the values are ±1 standard deviations from the mean. ±1 standard deviation from the mean high temperature of Death Valley is 75.5 to 88.3. Therefore, option D is wrong

Step 5: In a normal distribution, about 99.7% of the values are ±3 standard deviations from the mean. ±3 standard deviation from the mean high temperature of Boise is 32.6 to 71.6. Therefore, option E is wrong
