52-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces so that the second piece is twice as long as the first piece, and the third piece is two inches more than seven times the length of the first piece. Find the lengths of the pieces. The lengths of the first, the second, and the third pieces are in, in, and in respectively.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

First piece = a = 5 inches

Second piece = b = 10 inches

Third piece = c = 37 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Let us represent:

First piece = a

Second piece = b

Third piece = c

52-inch piece of steel is cut into three pieces.

a + b + c = 52 inches

The second piece is twice as long as the first piece

= b = 2a

The third piece is two inches more than seven times the length of the first piece.

= c = 2 + 7(a)

Find the lengths of the pieces. The lengths of the first, the second, and the third pieces are in, in, and in respectively.

a + b + c = 52 inches

Substitute 2a for b

2 + 7a for c

a + 2a + 2 + 7a = 52

Collect like terms

10a = 52 - 2

10a = 50

a = 50/10

a = 5 inches.

b = 2a

b = (2 × 5)

b = 10 inches

c = 2 + 7a

= 2 + 7(5)

= 2 + 35

= 37 inches

This symbol is called a tilde. In symbolic logic (a field of math  

used a lot in computer sciences) it is used to denote "not." For  

example, ~A means "not A." In some other contexts, it means  

"approximately." For example, pi ~= 3.1416. (Note that sometimes it is  

written above the equal sign, and sometimes it is used without an  

equal sign - it depends on the situation and the publisher.)

Find the y-intercept of the equation y = -0.5x - 3

Answers

Answer: -3

Step-by-step explanation: When you graph this that’s what you get

Answer:

-3

Step-by-step explanation:

the y intercept is when x is 0 on the graph. Since you know x has to be zero, you can substitute x for 0 in the equation:

y = -0.5x0 -3

Now you can ignore that first part of the equation because it equates to 0, and so you get:

y= 0 - 3

which equals:

y=-3

There are 2 overlapping triangles here. If the vertical lines are parallel, then these triangles are similar, and corresponding sides occur in a fixed ratio. In particular, we have

Solve for x :

The lateral surface area of a cube is 400cm². Its total surface area is
_______
a)600cm² b) 2400cm² c) 500cm² d) 650cm²

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Lateral surface area of cube = 4a²

4a² = 400

   a² = 400÷4

  a² = 100

 a = √100 = √10*10

a = 10 cm

Total surface area = 6a²

                               = 6 * 10²

                               = 6* 100

                               = 600 cm²

a water turck is filling a swiming pool. the euqation that represents this relationship is y = 19.75x where y is the number of gallons of water in the pool and x is the number of minutes the truck has been filling the pool choose true or false for each statement

Answers

Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression

y = 19.75x

let us see the solution from this angle

we know that

speed=distance/time

distance=speed*time

i.e quantity=rate*time

y = 19.75x

y=the quantity =number of gallons

19.5= the rate of flow

therefore

x= the time in  minutes

You play basketball At your schools indoor stadium. You have two payment options. Option A is to buy a membership card for $20 and pay $2 each time you go to the gym, t. Option B is to pay $4 each time you go. After how many trips to the gym will the cost be the same?

Answers

Answer:

10 trips

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of trips to the gym be represented by t

Option A is to buy a membership card for $20 and pay $2 each time you go to the gym.

$20 + $2× t

20 + 2t

Option B is to pay $4 each time you go.

$4 × t

= 4t

After how many trips to the gym will the cost be the same?

Option A = Option B

20 + 2t = 4t

Collect like terms

20 = 4t - 2t

20 = 2t

t = 20/2

t = 10 trips.

After 10 trips, the gym cost will be the same.

A contractor purchases ceramic tile to remodel a kitchen floor. Each tile cost $4 and the adhesive/grouting material costs $17.82. If the contractor pays a total of $545.82 how many ceramic tiles did the contractor purchase

Answers

Answer:

132 tiles

Step-by-step explanation:

Each tile cost $4

The adhesive/grouting material costs $17.82.

If the contractor pays a total of $545.82

Let the number of tiles be represented as x

The equation is represented as:

$17.82 + $4 × x = $545.82

17.82 + 4x = 545.82

Collect like terms

4x = 545.82 - 17.82

4x = 528

Divide bother sides by 4

4x/4 = 528/4

x = 132

The number of ceramic tiles the contractor bought = 132 tiles
