5. -8x + 9
6. -14x - 18
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Finding sum of -3x+9x
As both the terms have different signs, the terms will be subtracted and the sign in the answer will be of the larger terms (the term with greater coefficient)
So the answer of -3x+9x is 6x
2. Finding the sum of -7x and 4x + 2
For sum,
-7x + (4x+2)
= -7x + 4x + 2
= -3x + 2
3. Finding the difference when 6x is subtracted from 2x - 4
= 2x - 4 - (6x)
= 2x - 4 - 6x
= 2x - 6x - 4
= -4x - 4
4. Finding the difference when -3x - 7 is subtracted from x + 4
= (x+4) - (-3x-7)
= x + 4 + 3x + 7
= x + 3x + 4 + 7
= 4x + 11
5. Finding the result when 13x + 2 is subtracted from 11 + 5x
= (11 + 5x) - (13x + 2)
= 11 + 5x - 13x - 2
= 5x - 13x + 11 - 2
= -8x + 9
6. Finding the result when -18x - 4 is added to 4x - 14
= (4x - 14) + (-18x - 4)
= 4x - 14 - 18x -4

Mary is going on a 3-day weekend. She got a special weekend rental deal for $101.99, with 200 free miles and $0.32 per mile after. If she drives 155 miles, what will she pay for the rental?
Answer:
$101.99
Step-by-step explanation:
She doesn't go over her 200 free miles.
If she drives 155 miles, then the amount she need to pay for the rental is:
$ 101.99
Step-by-step explanation:She got a special weekend rental deal for $101.99, with 200 free miles.
and $0.32 per mile after.
This means that for any mile covered less than or equal to 200 she just need to pay $ 101.99.
If she drives 155 miles, which is less than 200 miles then the amount she need to pay as a rent is:
$ 101.99
What is the measure of each interior angle of a regular 14-gon
PLEASE HELP ME SOLVE FOR QUESTIONS 7-8!
The answers are:
Question 7:
154.29°
Question 8:
Yes, because the opposite sides are congruent.
Why?For question 7:
We know that the sum of all interior angles of any polygon is determined by the following formula:
[tex]Angles=180*(sides-2)[/tex]
Therefore the sum of all interior angles of a 14-gon is equal to 2160°, so, the measure of each interior angle is given by the following calculation:
[tex]14-gon=(14-2)*180\°=2160\°[/tex]
Each interior angle is equal to:
[tex]\frac{2160\°}{12}=154.29\°[/tex]
For question 8:
We know that a quadrilateral is a parallelogram when the opposite sides are parallel or congruent.
From the statement we know that:
BE≅ED
and
AE≅EC
So, we can assume that the triangles formed by the sides BE and AE, and the sides EC and ED, are also congruent, meaning that the opposite sides BA and CD are congruent, so, the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

Nandini needs more than 80 points to win a game. She has 64 points so far. which inequality represents p, the number of points she needs to win the game
Answer:
p = 80- 64 = 16
p = 16
Step-by-step explanation:
That's is the answer
Nandini needs to score at least 17 points to win.
To represent the number of points Nandini needs to win the game, we can use the inequality:
[tex]\( p > 80 - 64 \)[/tex]
Now, let's solve this:
[tex]\( p > 16 \)[/tex]
Therefore, Nandini needs more than 16 points to win the game.
Explanation:
1. Nandini needs more than 80 points to win the game, which means her total score should exceed 80 points.
2. She currently has 64 points, so to find out how many more points she needs, we subtract her current score from the total required points: \( 80 - 64 = 16 \).
3. Hence, the inequality representing the number of points she needs, denoted by \( p \), is \( p > 16 \), indicating that she needs more than 16 points to win the game.
This means Nandini needs to score at least 17 points to win.
Complete question:
Nandini needs more than 80 points to win a game. She has 64 points so far. which inequality represents p, the number of points she needs to win the game

a cylindrical barrel has a height of 8 feet and a diameter of 6 feet. What is the approximate volume of the barrel
The Volume is approximately 226
To find the volume of the cylindrical barrel with a height of 8 feet and a diameter of 6 feet, use the formula V = πr²h where r is the radius and h is the height. The approximate volume is approximately 226.08 cubic feet.
The approximate volume of the cylindrical barrel can be calculated using the formula V = πr²h.
Given that the diameter is 6 feet, the radius (r) would be half of the diameter, which is 3 feet. The height (h) is 8 feet.
Substitute the values into the formula to find the volume: V ≈ 3.14 × (3)² × 8 ≈ 226.08 cubic feet.

Which of these is an example of a continuous random variable?
A. Number of heads when you flip a coin 5 times
B. Number you roll on a die
C. Number of boys in a class
D. Height of 10-year-olds
A random variable can be either discrete or continuous. It is discrete it can assume only a finite number of values, or a countable infinity of values at most.
It is continuous if it can assume values in an interval, or in general, an uncountable infinity of values.
That being said, we have:
Option A is a discrete random variable, because the number of heads in 5 throws can be 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5. So, we have finitely many possible values.
Option B is a discrete random variable, because the number you roll on a die is either1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6. So, we have finitely many possible values.
Option C is a discrete random variable, because if there are n students in a class, the number of boys is an integer between 0 and n. So, we have finitely many possible values.
Option D is finally a continuous random variable, because the height of a 10-year-old can be any number (in a suitable range of course).
Final answer:
The example of a continuous random variable is D. Height of 10-year-olds, as height is a measured quantity that can have various values on a continuous scale.
Explanation:
When considering which of these is an example of a continuous random variable, it is important to understand the difference between discrete and continuous random variables. A discrete random variable consists of countable values, such as the number of heads when flipping a coin, whereas a continuous random variable includes values that are measured on a continuous scale, such as weight or height. Therefore, the correct answer to the student's question is D. Height of 10-year-olds because height is measured rather than counted, and it can take on a theoretically infinite number of values within a range.
pLEASE HELP!!! The stopping distance d of a car after the brakes are applied varies directly as the square of the speed r. If a car traveling 30 mph can stop in 50 ft, how many feet will it take the same car to stop when it is traveling 70 mph? (Round to the nearest integer as needed)
d ≅ 272ft. A car that is traveling at 70mph it will stop 272ft after the brakes are applied.
The key to solve this problem is using the equation d = k(r²), where d is the distance after the brakes are applied, k is the desaceleration constant and r is the speed of the car.
In order to maintain the consistency of the units, we have to convert mph to ft/s using the equation ft/s = mph x 1.467.
30mph x 1.467 ≅ 44ft/s
We know the speed of the car and the distance travelled after brakes are applied. The, clear k for the equation d = k(r²)
k = d/(r²)
Solving with d = 50ft and r = 44 ft/s
k = 50ft/(44ft/s)²= 0.0258 s²/ft
Then, is the same car now is traveling at 70mph, how many feet will it take to stop?
Convert 70mph to ft/s
70mph x 1.467 = 102.69ft/s
Using the equation d = k(r²), where k = 0.0258 s²/ft and r = 102.69ft/s
d = 0.0258s²/ft[(102.69ft/s)²] = 272.06ft
Which linear inequality is represented by the graph?
Answer:
the answer is b
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
The linear inequality is [tex]y > \cfrac 23 x+3[/tex], which is the third option.
Step-by-step explanation:
In order to determine the inequality, we need to first identify the line equation associated to it, to do that we can identify a couple of points and get the slope then the line equation.
Identifying points and finding slope.
From the segmented line we can tell that it crosses the points (0,3) and (3, 5), thus we can find the slope using
[tex]m = \cfrac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]
Replacing the points we get
[tex]m= \cfrac{5-3}{3-0}[/tex]
[tex]m = \cfrac 23[/tex]
Writing the line equation.
Now that we have the slope m, and a point (0,3) we can find the line equation using,
[tex]y-y_1 = m(x-x_1)[/tex]
Replacing the point and slope we get
[tex]y-3 = \cfrac 23 (x-0)[/tex]
Simplifying and solving for y we get
[tex]y = \cfrac 23 x+3[/tex]
Writing the inequality.
Notice that the associated line is a segmented line, so the linear inequality does not contain it that is why we only need to use greater than or less symbols.
Then we can tell that the shaded area is above the segmented line so we can conclude that the linear inequality is
[tex]y > \cfrac 23 x+3[/tex],
And that is the third option.

The lengths of two sides of a right triangle are given. Find the length of the third side. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
legs: 10 in. and 30 in.
34 in.
31.6 in.
37.2 in.
28.3 in.
Answer:
The third side is approximately 31.6 inches long.
Step-by-step explanation:
When given the lengths of two sides of a right triangle, you can easily use Pythagorean Theorem (a2+b2=c2; a or b being the legs, c being the hypotenuse) to find the length of the third side. Since the legs (10 in. and 30 in.) are already given to us, we can simply insert the numbers into Pythagorean Theorem and solve for the third side! It should look a little something like this: 102+302=c2, then solve for the squares to get 100+900=c2, then add the two side lengths to get to 1,000=c2, then find the square root of both sides (now, since the c is already being squared, they will cancel out to just c, but you will get the actual square root of 1,000). Should all go well, you should get an answer of 31.6227766017, which just so happens to round out to 31.6. And with that, we have our final no-longer-missing side length of 31.6 inches.

We want to know the probability that a student selected randomly from her class would have an “A” (90 or above) in her class. Find the probability. Explain HOW to find the probability
There are 91 students in the class and 35 students received a 90 or above.
Answer:
38.46%
Step-by-step explanation:
There are 91 students and 35 of them received a score of 90 or above.
So, there are 35/91 students with an A grade.
The probability to pick a random student that would be the same proportion that those who got the right score, so 35 / 91 = 0.3846 or 38.46%
38.46% of chances to pick someone who got an A (90 score or above), and, the opposite, 61.54% of chances to pick someone who didn't get an A. That's a strong class!
Answer:
38.46% of the class received an "A"
Step-by-step explanation:
The Class has a total student count of 91 students. Out of those 91 students 35 of them received an "A" (90 or above). Meaning the percentage of students in the whole class who received a 90 or above is calculated by dividing the amount of students who received an "A" by the total amount of students in the class, as shown below.
[tex]\frac{35}{91} = 0.3846[/tex]
0.3846 * 100 = 38.46% ...... we multiply the decimal by 100 to get the percent
So 38.46% of the class received an "A"

If `f(x)=x^2-81` and `g(x)=(x-9)^(-1)(x+9)`, find `g(x)xxf(x)`.
Answer:
[tex] g ( x ) * f ( x ) = ( x + 9 ) ^ 2 [/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following two functions and we are to find [tex]g(x) * f(x)[/tex]:
[tex]f(x)=x2-81[/tex]
[tex]g(x)=(x - 9)^{-1} ( x + 9)[/tex]
[tex]g(x)*f(x)=x^{-81} * \frac{x+9}{x-9}[/tex]
[tex]g ( x ) * f ( x ) =\frac{(x+9)(x-9)(x+9)}{x-9}[/tex]
[tex] g ( x ) * f ( x ) = ( x + 9 ) ( x + 9 ) [/tex]
[tex] g ( x ) * f ( x ) =( x + 9 ) ^ 2 [/tex]
For this case we have the following fusions:
[tex]f (x) = x ^ 2-81\\g (x) = (x-9) ^ {- 1} * (x + 9)[/tex]
We can rewrite g (x) as:
[tex]g (x) = \frac {(x + 9)} {(x-9)}[/tex]According to the following power property:
[tex]a ^ {- 1} = \frac {1} {a ^ 1} = \frac {1} {a}[/tex]
Also:
If we factor f (x) we have:
[tex]f (x) = (x + 9) (x-9)[/tex]
We must find:
[tex]f (x) * g (x) = (x + 9) (x-9) * \frac {(x + 9)} {(x-9)}[/tex]
We simplify common terms in numerator and denominator:
[tex]f (x) * g (x) = (x + 9) ^ 2[/tex]

The following table shows the number of police calls that were made last year in each of the cities in Hogdon County. If the mean of the data set is 273 calls, find the number of police calls in Thornbury.
Answer:
222 Calls
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given four values and the mean of the given data, so in order to find the fifth value, we will use the formula for mean. The formula for mean is:
Mean=(∑x)/n
Here n is the total number of values which is 5
Let x_5 be the number of calls for Thornbury
Putting the values of mean and the data given
273=(244+353+235+311+x_5)/5
273*5=1143+x_5
1365=1143+x_5
x_5=1365-1143
x_5=222 Calls
So the number of police calls in Thornbury is 222 ..

Given the function f(x)=x^4+3x^3-7x^2-27x-18 , factor completely
Answer:
(x - 3), (x + 2), (x + 1) and (x + 3)
Step-by-step explanation:
Using synthetic division, I'd begin by testing various factors of -18 to determine whether any of them will divide into f(x)=x^4+3x^3-7x^2-27x-18 with no remainder. Note that possible factors of -18 are ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6, ±18.
Let's arbitrarily start with -3. In synthetic division, will the divisor yield a zero remainder ( which would tell us that -3 is a root of f(x)=x^4+3x^3-7x^2-27x-18 and that (x + 3) is a factor)?
-3 ) 1 3 -7 -27 -18
-3 0 21 +18
------------------------------------
1 0 -7 -6 0
Since the remainder is zero, -3 is a root and (x + 3) is a factor. The coefficients of the quotient are shown above: 1 0 -7 -6. Possible factors of 6 include ±1, ±2, ±3, ±6. Arbitrarily choose 2. Is this a root or not?
2 ) 1 0 -7 -6
2 4 -6
--------------------------
1 2 -3 -12
Here the remainder is not zero, so +2 is not a root and (x - 2) is not a factor.
Continuing to use synthetic division, I find that -1 is a root and (x + 1) is a factor, because the remainder of synth. div. is zero. The coefficients of the quotient are 1, -1 and -6, which represents the quadratic y = x^2 - x - 6, whose factors are (x - 3)(x + 2).
Thus, the four factors of the original polynomial are (x - 3), (x + 2), (x + 1) and (x + 3).

Please find which quadratic equation matches the graph with work attached
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
Firstly, we know that the function must be negative due to its shape. This means that the answer cannot be B
Next we can use the equation [tex]x=\frac{-b}{2a}[/tex] that is used in order to find the vertex of the parabola.
A)
[tex]f(x)=-x^2+6x+7\\a=-1,b=6,c=7\\\\x=\frac{-6}{-2} \\x=3[/tex]
As the vertex is at x=3 on the graph, this one could be a contender.
C)
[tex]f(x)=-x^2+6x-7\\a=-1,b=6, c=-7\\\\x=\frac{-6}{-2} \\\\x=3[/tex]
This also could be the equation
D)
[tex]f(x)=-x^2-6x-7\\\\a=-1, b=-6, c=-7\\\\x=\frac{6}{-2} \\\\x=-3[/tex]
This rules option D out.
For this last step, we can look at where the zeroes would be for each equation. (These values are irrational, so we cannot look at specific number)
A)
[tex]f(x)=-(x^2-6x-7)[/tex]
As this equation has a negative value for c, this means that one zero must be positive and the other must be negative.
This means that option A can be ruled out
C)
[tex]f(x)=-(x^2-6x+7)[/tex]
As this equation has a positive value for c, this means that both of the zeroes must be positive. This means that it is the only one that fits all of the criteria.
