Answer:
l = (P -2w)/2
Step-by-step explanation:
When you're working any "solve for ..." problem, first you look to see where the variable of interest is and what is done to it.
If it is only found on one side of the equation, as here, then you're in luck. If it is only found in one term, as here, you have even better luck.
Identify all the terms on the side of the equation where the variable is located that do not contain the variable. Add their opposite to both sides of the equation. The result will be a term containing the variable, equated to a bunch of other stuff.
... P -2w = 2l . . . . . we added -2w to both sides of the equation
Now, we divide the equation by the coefficient of the variable.
... (P -2w)/2 = (2l)/2
... (P -2w)/2 = l . . . . . . simplify. This is the solution you're looking for
If you like, you can distribute the multiplication by (1/2) to get
... l = P/2 - w
Which of the following statements is true?
All the answers are correct.
If a function has an inverse function, then the original function will pass the horizontal line test.
A function will always pass the vertical line test.
If the function has an inverse function, then the inverse function will pass the vertical line test.
Answer:
All the answers are correct
Step-by-step explanation:
Any relation that is a function will pass the vertical line test, regardless of any other characteristic it may have (such as being the inverse of some other function).
The inverse of a function is that function reflected across the line y=x. If the inverse passes the vertical line test (is a function), then the original must pass the horizontal line test. The reflection of a vertical line is a horizontal line and vice versa.
Emily wants to make a rectangular model with a height of one cube
She wants to make the model in exactly 2 different ways. How many connecting cubes could emily use to make the model in only two ways.
Answer:
Three cubes
Step-by-step explanation:
The cubes have to be indistinguishable and all orientations of one cube are also have to be indistinguishable.
All ways of connecting two cubes result in the same shape. So answer is larger than two.
After connecting two cubes, there are ten faces where the third cube can be attached, and two faces which are connected, accounting for all 12 faces of two cubes.
Of the 10 exposed faces, exactly two are on opposite ends, both leading to the same straight line figure. The other 8 faces all lead to an L shape, and all L shapes can be rotated to be identical.
Hence, three cubes can only make a straight shape or an angled shape.
Four cubes can make a straight shape, a L shape, a Γ shape (but flipping it over through 3 dimensions makes L and Γ identical), a T shape, and a square shape. That is either four or five different objects depending on if they can be lifted from the table. Anyway, it is more than two.
the sales tax in your city is 4.4 and an item costs $3 before tax how much do u pay on the item
Answer:
$3.13
Step-by-step explanation:
We assume you mean the tax rate is 4.4%. Then the tax on $3 is ...
... tax = (tax rate) × (item cost)
... = 4.4/100 × 3.00 = 4.4 × .03 = 0.132 ≈ 0.13
The amount paid is ...
... amount paid = tax + item cost = $0.13 +3.00
... amount paid = $3.13
the table shows the relationship between two variables which selection describes the relationship
Answer:
C. Decreasing; Linear.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given a table that shows the relationship between two variables.
Let us find slope of our given values using slope formula.
[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Let us find rate of change for points (1,5) and (2,-1)
[tex]m=\frac{-1-5}{2-1}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{-6}{1}=-6[/tex]
Let us find slope for points (3,-7) and (4,-13).
[tex]m=\frac{-13--7}{4-3}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{-13+7}{1}[/tex]
[tex]m=\frac{-6}{1}=-6[/tex]
We can see that rate of change is constant (-6), therefore, our function is a linear function. Since slope is negative (-6) and with each increase in x, our y is decreasing, therefore, our function is decreasing.

Step-by-step explanation:3e^(2x) +5 = 26
3e^(2x) = 21 . . . . . subtract 5
e^(2x) = 7 . . . . . . . divide by 3
2x = ln(7) . . . . . . . .take the natural log
x = ln(7)/2 ≈ 0.973 . . . . divide by 2 and evaluate
Answer:
x= .973
Step-by-step explanation:
3e^2x +5=26
Subtract 5 from each side
3e^2x +5-5=26-5
3e^2x =21
Divide by 3 on each side
3/3e^2x =21/3
e^2x =7
Take the natural log on both sides
ln (e^2x) =ln (7)
2x = ln (7)

x^3-8/x^2+2x+4 divided by (x^2-4)
The simplified expression is [tex]\( \frac{x - 2}{x + 2} \)[/tex].
To divide the expression [tex]\(\frac{x^3 - 8}{x^2 + 2x + 4}\) by \((x^2 - 4)\)[/tex], you first factor both the numerator and denominator.
Factor the numerator:
[tex]\[ x^3 - 8 \][/tex]
[tex]\[= (x - 2)(x^2 + 2x + 4) \][/tex]
This is based on the difference of cubes: [tex]\(a^3 - b^3 = (a - b)(a^2 + ab + b^2)\), where \(a = x\) and \(b = 2\).[/tex]
Now, factor the denominator:
[tex]\[ x^2 + 2x + 4 \][/tex]
[tex]\[= (x + 2)^2 \][/tex]
The expression becomes:
[tex]\[ \frac{(x - 2)(x^2 + 2x + 4)}{(x + 2)^2} \][/tex]
Now, divide by [tex]\((x^2 - 4)\)[/tex]:
[tex]\[ \frac{(x - 2)(x^2 + 2x + 4)}{(x + 2)^2} \div (x^2 - 4) \][/tex]
Factor [tex]\(x^2 - 4\)[/tex] further:
[tex]\[ x^2 - 4 = (x + 2)(x - 2) \][/tex]
Now, cancel out common factors:
[tex]\[ \frac{(x - 2)(x^2 + 2x + 4)}{(x + 2)^2} \div (x^2 - 4) = \frac{x - 2}{x + 2} \][/tex]
Therefore, the simplified expression is [tex]\( \frac{x - 2}{x + 2} \)[/tex].

The heights of two cylinders are in the ratio 3:1 if the volumes of two are same find the ratio of their respective radii
Answer:
[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] :1
Step-by-step explanation:
Ratio of height of two cylinders are 3:1
Let C2 has the height x
then height of C1 is 3x
Let r1 is the radius of C1
and r2 is the radius of C2
As given that volume of both are equal
Also we know that formula for the volume of the cylinder is
V= π r²h
for C1
V= π (r1)²h
for C2
V=π (r2)²h
As volume of both are same so equating them
π (r1)²h1 = π (r2)²h2
as h1 =3x and h2=x
putting values
π (r1)²(3x) = π (r2)²(x)
cancelling out π and x from both side of the equation
3(r1)²= (r2)²
Taking square root of both sides give
[tex]\sqrt{3(r1)^{2} }=\sqrt{(r2)^{2} }[/tex]
r1 ( [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex]) = r2
or
r1 : r2 = [tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] :1

Chloe charged for admission to her play on three different nights. Each night, a different number of people were in attendance, but remarkably, Chloe collected $541 each night. If the admission charges for each child and each adult were $9 and $17, respectively, how many people in total came to the three showings?
To find the total number of people who came to the three showings, divide the total amount collected by the average admission price. Set up equations using the given information for each night and solve simultaneously to find the values of x, y, a, b, p, and q. Add those values to find the total number of people.
Explanation:To find the total number of people who came to the three showings, we need to divide the total amount collected by the average admission price. Let's calculate:
On the first night, let's assume there were x children and y adults. So, we can set up the equation.
9x + 17y = 541.
Similarly, for the second and third nights, we can set up two more equations:
9a + 17b = 541 and 9p + 17q = 541.
Solving these three equations simultaneously will give us the values of x, y, a, b, p, and q, which represent the number of children and adults present on each night. Adding those numbers together will give us the total number of people who came to the three showings.

you work for 40 hours a week at $8.75 an hour and pay 12% in taxes. What is your net pay?
Answer:
Net pay =$ 308
Step-by-step explanation:
Net pay is the gross pay minus taxes
Net pay = gross pay - gross pay * tax rate
Simplifying this equation by factoring out gross pay
Net pay = gross pay (1- tax rate)
Gross pay = hours worked * hourly rate
Substituting this in
Net pay = hours worked * hourly rate (1- tax rate)
We know the
hours worked = 40
Hourly rate = 8.75
tax rate = .12
Net pay = 40 * 8.75 (1- .12)
Net pay = 350(.88)
Net pay =$ 308

The three finalists in the talent show are Emily, Miguel, and Valerie. Their combined score is 24. Emily and Miguel's combined score is twice that of Valerie, and Valerie scored only one more point than Miguel. How many points did Emily score? Which equation is needed to represent the situation? A) e = m + 1 B) m = e + 1 C) m = v + 1 D) v = m + 1
Answer:
(i)
Emily's score was 9
(ii)
e = m + 2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let's assume
Emily's score is e
Miguel's score is m
Valerie's score is v
Their combined score is 24
so, we get
[tex]e+m+v=24[/tex]
Emily and Miguel's combined score is twice that of Valerie
we get
[tex]e+m=2v[/tex]
Valerie scored only one more point than Miguel
we get
[tex]v=m+1[/tex]
(i)
we got system of equations as
[tex]e+m+v=24[/tex].............(1)
[tex]e+m=2v[/tex]..................(2)
[tex]v=m+1[/tex]......................(3)
we can plug second equation into first one
[tex]2v+v=24[/tex]
[tex]3v=24[/tex]
[tex]v=8[/tex]
now, we can plug this into second and third equation
[tex]v=m+1[/tex]
we can plug it and find m
[tex]8=m+1[/tex]
[tex]m=7[/tex]
now, we can find e
[tex]e+7=2\times 8[/tex]
[tex]e=9[/tex]
So, Emily's score was 9
(ii)
we got
e=9
m=7
9=7+2
e=m+2
Answer: Emily's score is 9; Equation (D) v = m+1
Step-by-step explanation: To find Emily's score, let's represent each score with their own initials, i.e.: Emily's score is E; Miguel's score is M and Valerie's score is V.
Their combined score is 24, which means:
E + M + V = 24 (1)
Emily and Miguel's combined score is twice of Valerie, in other words:
E + M = 2V (2)
Valerie scored only one point more than Miguel:
V = M + 1 (3)
Substitute (3) into (2):
E + M = 2(M + 1)
E = 2M - M + 2
E = M + 2 (4)
With (3) and (4), use it to substitute into equation (1):
E + M + V = 24
M + 2 + M + M + 1 =24
3M = 21
M = 7
Using M=7 to find E:
E = M + 2
E = 7 + 2
E = 9
Emily's score is 9.
To represent the situation, the correct equation is V = M + 1, which means Valerie's score is 1 more than Miguel, which is exactly what's written in the question.

a candle burned at a steady rate. after 32 minutes, the candle was 11.2 inches tall. Eighteen minutes later, it was 10.75 inches tall. use an equation in point-slope form to determine the height of the candle after 2 hours.
ANSWER:
The candle was 12 inches tall to begin with.
After 2 hours (120 minutes), the height of the candle is approximately 9.9625 inches.
To start, let's define our variables:
t represents time in minutes.
h represents the height of the candle in inches.
First, we find the rate at which the candle is burning. The change in height over time is [tex]\( \frac{{11.2 - 10.75}}{{32}} \)[/tex] inches per minute.
Using point-slope form [tex]\( y - y_1 = m(x - x_1) \)[/tex], where [tex]\( (x_1, y_1) \)[/tex] is a point on the line and m is the slope, we can use the point [tex]\((32, 11.2)\)[/tex] and the calculated slope to find the equation of the line.
[tex]\( h - 11.2 = \frac{{11.2 - 10.75}}{{32}}(t - 32) \)[/tex]
Simplify to: [tex]\( h - 11.2 = -\frac{{0.45}}{{32}}(t - 32) \)[/tex]
Next, we want to find the height after 2 hours (which is 120 minutes). Substituting t = 120 into the equation:
[tex]\( h - 11.2 = -\frac{{0.45}}{{32}}(120 - 32) \)[/tex]
[tex]\( h - 11.2 = -\frac{{0.45}}{{32}}(88) \)[/tex]
[tex]\( h - 11.2 = -1.2375 \)[/tex]
Now, solving for h :
[tex]\( h = 11.2 - 1.2375 \)[/tex]
[tex]\( h = 9.9625 \)[/tex]
So, after 2 hours (120 minutes), the height of the candle is approximately 9.9625 inches.

The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degree.
In triangle FGH;
[tex]\angle F + \angle G + \angle H = 180^{\circ}[/tex]
or
[tex]\angle H = 180^{\circ} -{\angle F + \angle G}[/tex]
Substitute the given values from the given figure we have;
[tex]\angle H = 180^{\circ} -{33^{\circ} + 90^{\circ}}[/tex]
[tex]\angle H = 180^{\circ} -{123^{\circ}}[/tex]
Simplify:
[tex]\angle H = 57^{\circ}[/tex]
Given that:
[tex]\cos H = \frac{x}{y}[/tex]
Using Cosine ratio:
[tex]\cos \theta = \frac{\text{Base}}{\text{Hypotenuse}}[/tex]
In a given figure:
Base = GH = x and Hypotenuse = FH = y = 80 cm
Then;
[tex]\cos 57^{\circ}= \frac{x}{80}[/tex]
or
[tex]x = \cos 57^{\circ} \cdot 80[/tex]
[tex]x = 0.54463903501 \cdot 80 \approx 43.57[/tex] cm
Therefore, the value of :
[tex]H = 57^{\circ}[/tex]
x = 43.57 cm
y = 80 cm
The value of H is 57 degrees, x is 43.57, and y is 80 cm.
The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degrees.
What is cosine function?The cosine is defined as the ratio of the base of the triangle and the hypotenuse of the triangle.
[tex]\rm Cosh= \dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}[/tex]
Where the value of base x is and Hypotenuse = FH = y = 80 cm.
The sum of the measures of the angles in a triangle is equal to 180 degrees.
Then,
In triangle FGH;
[tex]= \rm \angle F+\angle G + \angle H =180\\\\=90+33+\angle H =180\\\\\angle H = 180-90-33\\\\\angle H =180-123\\\\\angle H =57[/tex]
Substitute all the values in the formula;
[tex]\rm Cosh= \dfrac{Base}{Hypotenuse}\\\\Cos57=\dfrac{x}{80}\\\\x = Cos57 \times 80\\\\x=43.57 \ cm[/tex]
Hence, the value of H is 57 degrees, x is 43.57, and y is 80 cm.

For factoring problems, it helps immensely if you know your times tables and some of the rules for divisibility. (Even numbers are divisible by 2, numbers ending in 0 or 5 are divisible by 5, numbers whose sum of digits is divisible by 3 are divisible by 3, for example.)
Angle MNO is formed by segments MN and NO on the following coordinate grid:
A coordinate grid is shown from positive 6 to negative 6 on the x axis and from positive 6 to negative 6 on the y axis. A line segment MN is shown with M as ordered pair negative 1, 1 and N as ordered pair negative 5, 4. Another line segment NO is shown with O as ordered pair negative 1, 4.
Angle MNO is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin to form angle M′N′O′. Which statement shows the measure of angle M′N′O′?
m∠ M′N′O′ = 90 degrees
m∠ M′N′O′ = 180 degrees
m∠ M′N′O′ = 2 ⋅ m∠MNO
m∠ M′N′O′ = m∠MNO
Answer:
I am 90% sure that the answer is M'N'O' is 90*
Step-by-step explanation:
A line segment MN is shown as M = -1,1 and N= -5,4 this makes a diagonal line across the grid. Another line segment NO is shown with O as ordered pair negative 1, 4. Angle MNO is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin to form angle M′N′O′. this is where the angles meet, Rotating the shape (or the angles) does not change the degree of the angle of the shape. I am 99% sure that an 90* angle would be formed. but im just in middle school so what do i know?
Answer with explanation:
It is given that ,∠M NO is formed by segments MN and NO on the following coordinate grid.
Coordinate of Point M = (-1,1)
Coordinate of Point N= (-5,4)
Coordinate of Point O= (-1,4)
[tex]MN=\sqrt{(-1+5)^2+(1-4)^2}\\\\MN=\sqrt{16+9}\\\\MN=5\\\\NO=\sqrt{(-1+5)^2+(4-4)^2}\\\\NO=4\\\\MO=\sqrt{(-1+1)^2+(4-1)^2}\\\\MO=3[/tex]
MO²+NO²=MN²
So,By Pythagorean Theorem, ΔM NO is right Angled Triangle having ∠ O=90°.
Now, it is given that, ∠MNO is rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise about the origin to form ∠ M′N′O′.
⇒When we rotate a Triangle either Anticlockwise or Clockwise the triangle before Rotation and Triangle after rotation will be congruent to each other.

5x = 75*8
5x = 600
Divide each side by 5
5x/5 = 600/5
x = 120
Answer:
if 5 bags of peanuts = 75peanuts
Then 1 bag will be 15 peanuts beacause 75 divided by 5 is 15
8 bags of peanuts will then be 15 multiply by 8 which is 120 peanuts
Step-by-step explanation:
what are the coefficients in the following expression 8x + 5 + 6y
Answer:
8 5 and 6 are the coefficients
Step-by-step explanation:
For this case we have that by definition, a coefficient is the term that accompanies a variable. If we have the expression given by:
[tex]8x + 5 + 6y[/tex]
The number "5" is a constant.
Thus, two variables, "x" and "y", are observed.
Thus according to the definition, the coefficients are given by "8" and "6" respectively.
Answer:
8 and 6 are the coefficients
A textbook store sold a combined total of 266 math and biology textbooks in a week. The number of math textbooks sold was 54 more than the number of biology textbooks sold. How many textbooks of each type were sold?
Let m and b represent the numbers of math and biology books sold, respectively. The problem statement tells you ...
... m + b = 266
... m - b = 54 . . . . . . . 54 more math books were sold
Adding these two equations gives you ...
... 2m = 320
... m = 160 . . . . . divide by 2
... b = 160 -54 = 106 . . . . 54 fewer biology books were sold.
160 math textbooks and 106 biology textbooks were sold in a week.
