A math student goes to an office supply store and purchases a total of 16 spirals and pencils. Each spiral costs $3. 50, and each pencil costs $1. 25. If the student spent a total of $29, how many pencils did the student purchase?.

Answers

Answer 1

The student purchase 12 pencils

Let the total number of pencils purchased be xLet the total number of spirals purchased be y

If a math student goes to an office supply store and purchases a total of 16 spirals and pencils, then;

x + y = 16 .................. 1

If each spiral costs $3. 50, and each pencil costs $1. 25 and the student spent a total of $29, hence;

1.25x + 3.5y = 29 ................. 2

Solve both equations simultaneously

x + y = 16 .................. 1 * 1.25

1.25x + 3.5y = 29 ................. 2 * 1

__________________________________

1.25x + 1.25y =  20.

1.25x + 3.5y = 29

Subtract both equations

1.25y - 3.5y = 20 - 29

-2.25y = -9

y = 9/2.25

y = 4

Substitute y = 4 into equation 1:

x + y = 16

x = 16 - 4

x = 12

This means that the student purchase 12 pencils

Answers

Answer:

  a) m = 60°, n = 30°

  b) m = 20°, n = 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

The top and bottom horizontal lines are parallel, so angle m is an alternate interior angle congruent to the interior angle(s) of the equilateral triangle. Those angles are all 60°.

Angle n is the complement of angle m, so is 90°-60° = 30°

  m = 60°, n = 30°

__

b)

The base angles of the isosceles right triangle are n = 45°. (This should be a memorized fact. It is computed as (180° -90°)/2 = 45°.)

The base angles of the isosceles acute triangle are (180°-50°)/2 = 65°. Angle m is the difference between one of these and angle n.

  m = 65° -45° = 20°

  m = 20°, n = 45°

_____

Additional comment

The sum of angles of a triangle is 180°. The "base" angles of an isosceles triangle (one with two equal sides) are equal. If 'a' is the third angle, and 'b' are the base angles, you have ...

  a + 2b = 180°

  2b = 180° -a

  b = (180° -a)/2 . . . . . . the relation used above

  B = (14, 12)

Step-by-step explanation:

As you know, the midpoint is the average of the end point coordinates:

  M = (A +B)/2

Solving for B gives ...

  2M = A + B

  B = 2M -A

what is the answer for this question 7(x+4)-7=48-2x

Answers

Answer:

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

7(x + 4) - 7 = 48 - 2x ← distribute parenthesis and simplify left side

7x + 28 - 7 = 48 - 2x

7x + 21 = 48 - 2x ( add 2x to both sides )

9x + 21 = 48 ( subtract 21 from both sides )

9x = 27 ( divide both sides by 9 )

x = 3

Answer: the answer is x=3

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1: distribute the 7 with the parenthesis we get 7x+28-7=48-2x

step 2: subtract 28-7 which gives us 21 now the equation is 7x+21=48-2x

step 3: for the other side which is the 48-2x put the x first so the equation will look something 7x+21=-2x+48

step 4: subtract 21 on both sides 48-21=27 and add 2x on both sides 7x+2x=9x

step 5: 9x=27 now divide both sides by 9 so 27/9= 3

Snefuru’s north pyramid at Dahshur, Egypt, is shown. It’s square base has a side length of 220 m. The height of the pyramid is 105 m. Determine it’s surface area.

The answer is 115,324 m^2, show how you got your answer please. :))

Answers

Answer: 115,324 m^2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the surface area, we need height of the triangle face of the pyramid. We are given the height of the pyramid itself (105 m). To find the height of the triangle face, we have to use the Pythagorean theorem (a^2 + b^2 = c^2).

In the diagram attached, the height of the triangle face is the hypotenuse of the blue triangle: 110^2 + 105^2 = c^2 where c = about 152 m (ROUNDED)

Now that we have the height of the triangle face, we can use the triangle area formula: 1/2(base)(height) to find the area of one of the triangle faces.

1/2 (220)(152) = 16,720 m^2

Since there are four triangle faces, we need to multiply this number by four.

16,720(4) = 66880 m^2.

Now we just have to add this to the area of the square base which is:

(220)(220) = 48400 m^2

66880 + 48400 = 115,200 m^2 (which is very close to the answer provided - if 152 wasn't rounded, 115,324 would be your answer)

Suppose that y varies directly with x
and y = 3 when x = 9. What is y
when x = 18?
y = [ ?
]


I really suck at these problems.

Answers

Answer:

y = 6 when x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

The appropriate formula for this direct proportion is y = kx, where k is the constant of proportionality.

We know y = 3 when x = 9:  3 = k(9)

This yields k = 3/9, or k = 1/3

Then the formula is y = (1/3)x

and when x = 18, y = (1/3)(18) = 6

y = 6 when x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

It is fairly easy to try the offered points in the equations to see which works.

  A. (x, y) = (-2, -1); -4(-2) +2(-1) = 8 -2 = 6; 9(-2) -3(-1) = -18+3 = -15 ≠ -3

__

  B. (x, y) = (-1, -2); -4(-1) +2(-2) = 4 -4 = 0 ≠ 6

__

  C. (x, y) = (2, 7); -4(2) +2(7) = -8 +14 = 6; 9(2) -3(7) = 18 -21 = -3

(2, 7) is a solution to the system of equations.
