6. If X is the midpoint of WY, WX = 3x - 1 and
WY = 10x - 26, find XY.
XY = 17
Step-by-step explanation:
It is given that x is the mid-point of WY, so it divides WY in two equal parts
WX and XY so the sum of both lengths will constitute the length of WY
[tex]WY = WX+XY\\XY = WY - WX[/tex]
putting values
[tex]XY = 10x-26 -(3x-1)\\= 10x-26-3x+1\\= 7x-25[/tex]
As X is the mid-point,
[tex]WX = XY\\3x-1 = 7x-25\\3x-1-3x = 7x-25-3x\\-1 = 4x-25\\-1+25 = 4x-25+25\\24 = 4x[/tex]
Dividing both sides by 4
[tex]\frac{4x}{4} = \frac{24}{4}\\x = 6[/tex]
XY = 7x-25
[tex]=7(6) -25\\= 42-25\\=17[/tex]
So,
XY = 17
Verification:
WX = XY
[tex]3x-1 = 7x-25\\3(6)-1 = 7(6)-25\\18-1 = 42-25\\17 = 17[/tex]

Sayuri's Asian Café makes the best pot stickers in town. The kitchen's production is usually between 20 and 22 pot stickers per hour. Sayuri buys a new machine to help the team make pot stickers faster. She tracks production over the course of seven days. On which day does the machine make a positive impact on production?
The question is not complete without a picture depicting the pot stickers production. I found a similar question with a table for the production of pot stickers which is attached to this answer. If the actual table is different from the table in this answer, you can still answer your question accordingly using my working and reasoning.
Answer:
Day 6
Step-by-step explanation:
It was given that the usual production of the kitchen is between 20 to 22 pot stickers per hour. Day 1 to 3, the production is within the range given.
However on day 4 and 5, the production is dropped to 10 and 15 - probably due to the workers unfamiliar with the machine.
On day 6 and 7, the production increases to 50 and 55. Therefore the day the machine makes positive impact is on day 6 where the production starts to make a significant increase.
We cannot determine the exact day when the new machine makes a positive impact on production at Sayuri's Asian Café.
Explanation:The question asks on which day the new machine makes a positive impact on production at Sayuri's Asian Café. To determine this, we need to compare the production before and after the machine was introduced. Unfortunately, the statement provided does not mention the production levels before the machine. Therefore, we cannot determine the exact day when the machine makes a positive impact.

Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
Remember how absolute values turn everything inside of it into a positive number? Like |-4|=4 and |4|=4 as well.
Well, it works the same for equations.
When you have an absolute value equation like this, you have to split it into two parts.
The positive version
| d-3.5 | ≤ 1.5
and the negative version
|-(d-3.5)| ≤ 1.5
solve for the value of d in both equation.
Remember that you have to flip the inequality sign when dividing or multiplying by a negative number
I assume you know how to graph the inequality once you get the value for d.
d≤5 and d≥2
so
2 ≤ d ≤ 5
meaning d is between 2 and 5.

Only questions 8 and 9 help please!!!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Perpendicular slopes are the opposite reciprocals of the slopes given. Our slope in 8 is -2. That means that the perpendicular slope is 1/2. If the line goes through (2, -1), then
[tex]y-(-1)=\frac{1}{2}(x-2)[/tex] and
[tex]y+1=\frac{1}{2}x-1[/tex] and
[tex]y=\frac{1}{2}x-2[/tex]
9 is a tiny bit trickier because we don't have the slope, the x term, on the opposite side of the equals sign from the y. Let's do that and then we can determine the slope of that given line. Moving over the 3x and isolating the y:
y = -3x + 5
So the slope is -3. That means that the perpendicular slope is 1/3. If the line goes through (-9, 3), then
[tex]y-3=\frac{1}{3}(x-(-9))[/tex] and
[tex]y-3=\frac{1}{3}(x+9)[/tex] and
[tex]y-3=\frac{1}{3}x+3[/tex] so
[tex]y=\frac{1}{3}x+6[/tex]
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
8) y = -2x + 1 and the line passes through (2, - 1)
The equation of a straight line can be represented in the slope intercept form as
y = mx + c
Where
m = slope = (change in the value of y in the y axis) / (change in the value of x in the x axis)
The equation of the given line is
y= -2x + 1
Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 2
If two line passing through the given point is perpendicular to the given line, it means its slope is the negative reciprocal of that of the given line. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (2,-1) is 1/2
To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 1/2, x = 2 and y = -1 into y = mx + c. It becomes
- 1 = 1/2 × 2 + c = 1 + c
c = - 1 - 1 = - 2
The equation becomes
y = x/2 - 2
9) 3x + y = 5 and the line passes through (-9, 3)
The equation of the given line is
3x + y = 5
y = -3x + 5
Comparing with the slope intercept form, slope = - 3
If two line passing through the given point is perpendicular to the given line, it means its slope is the negative reciprocal of that of the given line. Therefore, the slope of the line passing through (- 9, 3) is 1/3
To determine the intercept, we would substitute m = 1/3, x = -9 and y = 3 into y = mx + c. It becomes
3 = 1/3 × -9 + c = - 3 + c
c = 3 + 3 = 6
The equation becomes
y = x/3 + 6

Which two types of decisions should remain centralized even in a decentralized decision-making environment?
Answer: Infrequent decisions and long lasting decisions
Step-by-step explanation:
Infrequent: decisions made infrequently, they are not urgent, and deeper consideration is appropriate (ex., product strategy, international expansion).
Long-lasting: Once made, these decisions are unlikely to change not immediately but at least in the short term (e.g., commitment to a standard technology platform, commitment to organizational realignment around Value Streams)
Only questions 10-12!! Help please!!
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
10) The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal. It means that
a + 15 = 3a + 11
3a - a = 15 - 11
2a = 4
a = 4/2 = 2
Also,
3b + 5 = b + 11
3b - b = 11 - 5
2b = 4
b = 4/2 = 2
11) The opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent and the adjacent angles are supplementary. This means that
2x + 11 + x - 5 = 180
3x + 6 = 180
3x = 180 - 6 = 174
x = 174/3 = 58
Therefore,
2x + 11 = 2×58 + 11 = 127 degrees
The opposite angles of a parallelogram are congruent, therefore,
2y = 127
y = 127/2 = 63.5
12) The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other. This means that each diagonal is divided equally at the midpoint. Therefore
3y - 5 = y + 5
3y - y = 5 + 5
2y = 10
y = 10/2 = 5
Also,
z + 9 = 2z + 7
2z - z = 9 - 7
z = 2

Answer:the perimeter of the regular pentagon is 5x + 20
Step-by-step explanation:
The perimeter of a plane figure is the distance around the plane figure. The pentagon is a plane figure. It has 5 sides. Since it is a regular Pentagon, it means that all the sides are equal.
From the information given, the length of each side of the regular Pentagon is x + 4
The perimeter of the regular Pentagon would be 5 times the length of each side. It becomes
5(x + 4) = 5x + 20
A ribbon 56 cm long is cut into two pieces. One of the pieces is three times longer than the other. Find the length, in centimeters, of both pieces of ribbons
Answer:one piece is 42 centimeters and the other piece is 14 centimeters
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the length, in centimeters, of one piece of the ribbon.
Let y represent the length, in centimeters, of the other piece of the ribbon.
The ribbon, 56 cm long is cut into two pieces. This means that
x + y = 56 - - - - -- - - - -1
One of the pieces is three times longer than the other. This means that
x = 3y
Substituting x = 3y into equation 1, it becomes
3y + y = 56
4y = 56
y = 56/4 = 14 centimeters
x = 3y = 2×14 = 42 centimeters

Using homeowners insurance of $1012 per year, property taxes 1.1% per year, and the annual 1% of the home's purchase price for maintenance, what is the true cost of a $96,000 home with a 30 year mortgage payment of $545.08 per month?
A. $301,012.43
B. $225,907.80
C. $287,068.80
D. $299,007.45
When considering mortgage payments, homeowners insurance, property tax and maintenance costs over 30 years, the true cost of the $96,000 home is $287,068.80.
Explanation:The true cost of a home not only includes the original purchase price but also takes into account annual homeowners insurance, property taxes, and maintenance costs. In this case, the purchase price is $96,000, homeowners insurance costs $1012 per year, property taxes are 1.1% of the home price each year, and annual home maintenance is 1% of the home price.
First, calculate the total mortgage payments made over 30 years. The monthly payment is $545.08, so the total mortgage payments are:
30 years * 12 months/year * $545.08/month = $196,228.80
Next, calculate the total cost of homeowners insurance over 30 years:
30 years * $1012/year = $30,360
Then, calculate the total property taxes over 30 years:
30 years * 1.1% of $96,000/year = $31,680
Lastly, calculate the total home maintenance over 30 years:
30 years * 1% of $96,000/year = $28,800
Adding all of these costs together gives the total cost of the home:
$196,228.80 + $30,360 + $31,680 + $28,800 = $287,068.80
So, the correct answer is option C: $287,068.80.

Suppose the time required for an auto shop to do a tune-up is normally distributed, with a mean of 102 minutes and a standard deviation of 18 minutes. What is the probability that a tune-up will take more than 2hrs? Under 66 minutes?
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Suppose the time required for an auto shop to do a tune-up is normally distributed, we would apply the formula for normal distribution which is expressed as
z = (x - u)/s
Where
x = points scored by students
u = mean time
s = standard deviation
From the information given,
u = 102 minutes
s = 18 minutes
1) We want to find the probability that a tune-up will take more than 2hrs. It is expressed as
P(x > 120 minutes) = 1 - P(x ≤ 120)
For x = 120
z = (120 - 102)/18 = 1
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.8413
P(x > 120) = 1 - 0.8413 = 0.1587
2) We want to find the probability that a tune-up will take lesser than 66 minutes. It is expressed as
P(x < 66 minutes)
For x = 66
z = (66 - 102)/18 = - 2
Looking at the normal distribution table, the probability corresponding to the z score is 0.02275
P(x < 66 minutes) = 0.02275
One end point of a line segment is(-3,-6). The length of the line segment is 7 units. Find four points that could serve as the other end point of the given line segment.
Answer:
(-10, -6), (4, -6), (-3, -13), (-3, 1)
Step-by-step explanation:
The easiest points to find that have rational coordinates are the ones 7 units up or down, left or right from the given point. Those are listed above.
We used the distance formula to find four points that could serve as the other end of a line segment with one end at (-3, -6) and length of 7 units. The four points are (0, -6 + √40), (0, -6 - √40), (-3 + √13, 0), and (-3 - √13, 0).
Finding the Other End Point of a Line Segment
To find four points that can serve as the other end point of a line segment with one end point at (-3, -6) and a length of 7 units, we use the distance formula. The distance formula is:
Distance = √((x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²)
Given, (x₁, y₁) is (-3, -6) and the distance is 7, we need to find (x₂, y₂) such that:
√((x₂ + 3)² + (y₂ + 6)²) = 7
Squaring both sides: (x₂ + 3)² + (y₂ + 6)² = 49
Case 1: Let x₂ = 0(0 + 3)² + (y₂ + 6)² = 49
9 + (y₂ + 6)² = 49
(y₂ + 6)² = 40
y₂ + 6 = ±√40
y₂ = -6 ± √40
(x₂ + 3)² + (0 + 6)² = 49
(x₂ + 3)² + 36 = 49
(x₂ + 3)² = 13
x₂ + 3 = ±√13
x₂ = -3 ± √13
Thus, the four possible points for the other end point of the line segment are (0, -6 + √40), (0, -6 - √40), (-3 + √13, 0), and (-3 - √13, 0).

The sum of the circumference of two circles is 38π cm and the sum of their areas is 193π cm². Calculate the radii of the circles.
Answer:
The radii of the circles are 12 cm and 7cm.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the radii of the circles be [tex]r_{1}\ and\ r_{2}[/tex]
Given:
Sum of circumference of two circles= 38π cm
Formula for circumference of a circle with radius r = 2πr
[tex]2\pi r_{1}+2\pi r_{2}=38\pi \\r_{1}+r_{2}=19[/tex]------------1
Sum of areas of two circles= 193π cm²
Area of circle with radius r = πr²
[tex]\pi r_{1}^{2}+\pi r_{2}^{2}=193\pi \\r_{1}^{2}+r_{2}^{2}=193[/tex]-------2
Substituting r2 = 19 - r1 in equation 2 we get:
[tex]r_{1}^{2}+(19-r_{1})^{2}=193\\2r_{1}^{2}-38r_{1}+168=0\\r_{1}^{2}-19r_{1}+84=0\\(r_{1}-12)(r_{1}-7)=0\\r_{1}=12\ or\ 7[/tex]
Then r2 = 19 - r1
[tex]r_{2}=12\ or\ 7[/tex]
How many triangles and quadrilaterals altogether can be formed using the vertices of a 7-sided regular polygon?
A. 35
B. 40
C. 50
D. 65
E. 70
Answer: The correct option is
(E) 70.
Step-by-step explanation: We are given to find the number of triangles and quadrilaterals altogether that can be formed using the vertices of a 7-sided regular polygon.
To form a triangle, we need any 3 vertices of the 7-sided regular polygon. So, the number of triangles that can be formed is
[tex]n_t=^7C_3=\dfrac{7!}{3!(7-3)!}=\dfrac{7\times6\times5\times4!}{3\times2\times1\times4!}=35.[/tex]
Also, to form a quadrilateral, we need any 4 vertices of the 7-sided regular polygon. So, the number of quadrilateral that can be formed is
[tex]n_q=^7C_4=\dfrac{7!}{4!(7-4)!}=\dfrac{7\times6\times5\times4!}{4!\times3\times2\times1}=35.[/tex]
Therefore, the total number of triangles and quadrilaterals is
[tex]n=n_t+n_q=35+35=70.[/tex]
Thus, option (E) is CORRECT.
Lucy works at an electronics store as a salesperson. Lucy earns a 6% commission on the total dollar amount of all phone sales she makes, and earns a 2% commission on all computer sales. How much money would Lucy earn in commission on a day that she sold $1100 worth of phones and $1900 worth of computers? How much money would Lucy earn in commission on a day that she sold $xx worth of phones and $yy worth of computers?
Lacy would earn a commission of $104.
Lacy would earn 0.06x dollars on phones sale and 0.02y dollars on computer sales.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given,
Commission earned on phones sales = 6% = [tex]\frac{6}{100}=0.06[/tex]
Commission earned on computer sales = 2% = [tex]\frac{2}{100}=0.02[/tex]
Worth of phones sold = $1100
Commission amount = 0.06*1100 = $66
Worth of computers sold = $1900
Commission amount = 0.02*1900 = $38
Total commission amount = 66+38 = $104
Lacy would earn a commission of $104.
For $x of phones, we will multiply the given amount with commission rate;
Commission amount of $x phones = 0.06*x = 0.06x
For $y computers;
Commission amount of $y computers = 0.02*y = 0.02y
Lacy would earn 0.06x dollars on phones sale and 0.02y dollars on computer sales.

The length of a string is L inches. Samantha cuts it into two unequal pieces such that the length of the small piece is 35% of L.
If the length of the big piece is 24 inches longer than the length of the small piece, what is the ratio of the length of the small piece to the length of the big piece as a fraction in its lowest terms?
Answer:
The shorter piece x = 8.4 in
The longer one y = 15.6 in
Step-by-step explanation:
If we cut a string length L in to unequal pieces we get two pieces
first one with length x and the other one with length y
Let call x the smaller piece, then y = L - x will be the longer one
If x = 35 % then
x = 0,35* L and
y = L - x = L - 0,35*L ⇒ y = 0,65 L ⇒ y = 0.65*24
Now if L = 24 in
x = 0,35*24 ⇒ x = 8.4 in
and
L - x = 0.65*L ⇒ L - x = 0.65*24 y = L - x = 15.6 in
as way of verification you can add the length of the two pieces and find:
8.4 + 15.6 = 24 in
Final answer:
The ratio of the length of the small piece to the big piece is found to be 7/13 after calculating the lengths of each piece, with the small piece being 28 inches and the big piece being 52 inches.
Explanation:
Given that the length of the small piece is 35% of the total length L, we can denote the length of the small piece as 0.35L. The big piece is 24 inches longer than the small piece, so the length of the big piece is 0.35L + 24 inches. Since the string is cut into only two pieces, the total length L is the sum of the lengths of the two pieces, which means L = 0.35L + (0.35L + 24).
Simplifying, we have L = 0.7L + 24. Subtracting 0.7L from both sides gives 0.3L = 24 inches. Therefore, the total length of the string is L = 24 / 0.3 = 80 inches. So the small piece is 0.35L = 0.35 * 80 = 28 inches, and the big piece is 28 + 24 = 52 inches.
To find the ratio of the lengths of the small piece to the big piece, we divide the length of the small piece by the length of the big piece: 28/52. Simplifying this ratio by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 4 gives us 7/13. Therefore, the ratio of the length of the small piece to the big piece in its lowest terms is 7/13.
Patrician saves $ 1.20 everyday while her sister Nicole saves $ 2.80 daily. The two girls saved $ 150.00 together. How much of this amount was saved by Nicole?
Amount saved by Nicole is $ 105
Solution:
Given that Patrician saves $ 1.20 everyday and Nicole saves $ 2.80 daily
The two girls saved $ 150.00 together
To find: Amount saved by Nicole
Let "x" be the number of days for which Patrician and Nicole saved money
Given that they both saved $ 150.00 together
So we can frame a equation as:
[tex]\text{(amount saved by patrician + amount saved by nicole) } \times x = 150.00[/tex]
[tex](1.20 + 2.80) \times x = 150\\\\4x = 150\\\\x = 37.5[/tex]
Therefore amount saved by nicole:
Nicole has saved $ 2.80 daily for "x" days
[tex]\text{ Amount saved by Nicole } = x \times 2.80\\\\\text{ Amount saved by Nicole } = 37.5 \times 2.80 = 105[/tex]
Thus amount saved by Nicole is $ 105
Nicole's job pays her salary plus commission. She earns a daily salary of $60 plus 15% commission of her total sales. On Monday, she earned a total of $63.75. What were her total sales?
Answer:her total sales is 25
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent her total sales.
Nicole's job pays her salary plus commission. She earns a daily salary of $60 plus 15% commission of her total sales. This means that the amount that she receives for x total sales would be
60 + 15/100× x
= 60 + 0.15x
On Monday, she earned a total of $63.75. This means that
63.75 = 60 + 0.15x
63.75 - 60 = 0.15x
0.15x = 3.75
x = 3.75/0.15 = 25
x, y, a, and b are positive integers. When x is divided by y, the remainder is 6. When a is divided by b, the remainder is 9. Which of the following is NOT a possible value for y + b?
Answer:
y + b > 15
Step-by-step explanation:
given data
positive integers = x, y, a, b
x divided by y then remainder = 6
a divided by b then remainder = 9
to find out
possible value for y + b
solution
we know that here when x divided by y then remainder is 6
its mean y is greater than 6 and when a divided by b then remainder is 9
so its mean b is greater than 9
and we know remainder is less than divisor
so here y + b must be greater than = 6 + 9
y + b > 15
A container is 1/10 full of grain. If 21 additional gallons of grain are added, the container is 4/5 full. What is the volume of the container, in gallons?
Answer:
30 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
let x represent the full container, then
[tex]\frac{1}{10}[/tex] x + 21 = [tex]\frac{4}{5}[/tex] x
Multiply through by 10 to clear the fractions
x + 210 = 8x ( subtract x from both sides )
210 = 7x ( divide both sides by 7 )
30 = x
The volume of the container is 30 gallons
Answer: the volume of the container is 30 gallons
Step-by-step explanation:
Let V represent the volume of the container, in gallons.
The initial volume of grains in the container is 1/0 × V = V/10
If 21 additional gallons of grain are added, the container is 4/5 full. This means that 21 gallons of grain + V/10 will occupy 4/5 of the volume of the container. Therefore
4/5 × V = 21 + V/10
4V/5 = 21 + V/10
4V/5 - V/10 = 21
7V/10 = 21
Multiplying the left hand side and right hand side of the equation by 10, it becomes
7V/10 × 5 = 21 × 10 = 210
7V = 210
V = 210/7 = 30
Chrissie likes to tip a server in a restaurant a minimum of 25%. She and her friend have a lunch bill that is $13.78. Chrissie says the tip will be $3.00. Her friend says that is not a minimum of 25%. Tell who is correct, then complete the explanation.
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Chrissie likes to tip a server in a restaurant a minimum of 25% of her lunch bill. She and her friend have a lunch bill that is $13.78. This means that the amount of tip that she would give to the server would be
25/100 × 13.78 = 0.25 × 13.78 = $3.445
If Chrissie says the tip will be $3.00, he is incorrect because the tip is $3.445 which is higher than $3
If her friend says that the amount is not a minimum of 25% he is correct because a minimum if 25% is $3.445 which is higher than $3
Charlotte pays $24 for 3 yards of landscaping fabric and 6 yards of chicken wire. Kami pays $30 for 6 yards of landscaping fabric and 3 yards of chicken wire. What is the price of 1 yard of chicken wire?
Answer: the price of 1 yard of chicken wire is $2
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the cost of one yard of landscaping fabric.
Let y represent the cost of one yard of chicken wire.
Charlotte pays $24 for 3 yards of landscaping fabric and 6 yards of chicken wire. This means that
3x + 6y = 24 - - - - - - - - - - 1
Kami pays $30 for 6 yards of landscaping fabric and 3 yards of chicken wire. This means that
6x + 3y = 30 - - - - - - - - -2
Multiplying equation 1 by 6 and equation 2 by 3, it becomes
18x + 36y = 144
18x + 9y = 90
Subtracting
27y = 54
y = 54/27 = 2
Substituting y = 2 into equation 1, it becomes
3x + 6×2 = 24
3x = 24 - 12 = 12
x = 12/3 = 4
Answer:
$2 per yard.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let the price per yard of landscaping fabric be f and the price of chicken wire per yard be c.
3f + 6c = 24 Multiply this equation by - 2:
-6f - 12c = -48 Also:
6f + 3c = 30
Adding the last 2 equations:
-9c = -18
c = 2.
