A balanced scale has 3 marbles, 2 pennies, and 4 quarters on one side and 4 marbles, 2
quarters, and 1 penny on the other side. If pennies weigh one gram and quarters weigh
3 grams, find the weight of a marble. Explain or show your reasoning.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

See image

Step-by-step explanation:

An equation is really like a scale with two equal things on both sides. You could use the idea of a scale and lift off the same amount from both sides to keep it balanced. But I will show you the algebra version. When we subtract the same thing from both sides that's how we work back to our answer while keeping the scale balanced.

Let m = weight of a marble

p = weight of a penny = 1 gram

q = weight of a quarter= 3 grams

The problem says how many of each marble, penny, quarter, then set them equal to each other. See image

drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs. Solve the inequalities for x, and match each solution to its number graph.

Answers

Inequalities are used to represent unequal expressions.

The inequalities are given as:

[tex]x - 99 \le -104[/tex]

[tex]x - 51 \le -43[/tex]

[tex]150 + x \le 144[/tex]

[tex]75 < 69 - x[/tex]

Start by solving for x in all the inequalities

[tex]x - 99 \le -104[/tex]

Make x the subject: Add 99 to both sides

[tex]x \le 99 - 104[/tex]

[tex]x \le -5[/tex]

[tex]x - 51 \le -43[/tex]

Make x the subject: Add 51 to both sides

[tex]x \le 51 - 43[/tex]

[tex]x \le 8[/tex]

[tex]150 + x \le 144[/tex]

Make x the subject: Subtract 150 from both sides

[tex]x \le 144 - 150[/tex]

[tex]x \le -6[/tex]

[tex]75 < 69 - x[/tex]

Make x the subject: Add x to both sides, and subtract 75 from both sides

[tex]x < 69 - 75[/tex]

[tex]x < -6[/tex]

Hence, the solutions to the inequalities are: [tex]x \le -5[/tex], [tex]x \le 8[/tex], [tex]x \le -6[/tex] and [tex]x < -6[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=\frac{275}{62}[/tex] , [tex]y=\frac{127}{31}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

I will use the elimination method.

We want to make the X's the same:

[tex]24x-15y=45[/tex]

[tex]24x+16y=172[/tex]

Because the signs of the X's are the same we subtract the 2 equations to make:

(I put the second one on top of the 1st)

[tex]31y=127[/tex]

So:

[tex]y=\frac{127}{31}[/tex]

Substitute y into either equation 1 or 2:

(I chose equation 1)

[tex]8x-5(\frac{127}{31})=15[/tex]

[tex]8x=5(\frac{127}{31}) + 15[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{5(\frac{127}{31})}{8}[/tex]

So:

Answers

The approximate percentage error on the weight of the beaker is 5%

What is percentage error?

Percent error is the difference between estimated value and the actual value in comparison to the actual value and is expressed as a percentage. In other words, the percent error is the relative error multiplied by 100.

Error = Actual value - estimated value =

Actual value = 82g, Estimated value = 78g

Error = 82 - 78 which is 4

percent error = error/estimated x 100%

percent error = 4/78 x 100 which is 5%

Solve for y 8x - 7y = 23​

Answers

[tex]8x - 7y = 23 \\ 8x - 23 = 7y \\y = \frac{8}{7} x - \frac{23}{7} [/tex]

The solution of the equation, when it is solved for y, has one variable term x with coefficient 8/7 and one constant term 23/7, 8/7x-23/7.

How to solve an equation for its variable?

The solution of an equation is the value of the variable of the equation, for which the equation is satisfied.

To solve an equation for its variable, isolate the variable on one side of the equation using the mathematical operations.

The given expression is,

[tex]8x - 7y = 23[/tex]

The expression has two variables, x and y. To solve it for y, subtract 8x from both sides,

[tex]8x - 7y -8x= 23-8x\\-7y=23-8x[/tex]

Divide with number 7 both sides and change the sign of the equation,

[tex]y=-\left(\dfrac{23-8x}{7}\right)\\y=\dfrac{8x-23}{7}\\y=\dfrac{8}{7}x-\dfrac{23}{7}[/tex]

Thus, the solution of the equation, when it is solved for y, has one variable term x with coefficient 8/7 and one constant term 23/7, 8/7x-23/7.

James is 5 ft. tall and casts a 6.5 ft. shadow. At the same time, a palm tree casts a 26 ft. shadow. How tall is the palm tree?

Answers

Answer:  20 feet

=====================================================

Work Shown:

(height)/(shadow length) = (height)/(shadow length)

(5 ft)/(6.5 ft) = (x ft)/(26 ft)

5/(6.5) = x/26

5*26 = 6.5*x

130 = 6.5x

6.5x = 130

x = 130/(6.5)

x = 20

The palm tree is 20 feet tall, which is the same height as a 2 story building (assuming each floor is 10 ft).

Find values for a and b for which x = 4 is a solution of the equation shown.

To find the values of a and b in the equation at x = 4, substitute x = 4 into the equation

4a  +  4  =  5(4)  +  b

4a  +  4   =  20  +  b

Collect like terms

4a  -  b  =  20  -  4

sarah got a 80% on her pre algebra final exam. if there were 75 questions total how many did sarah get correc? How many did she get wrong? what percent did she get wrong?


HELP PLS

Answers

She got 60 correct and 15 wrong. She got 11.25% wrong

Answer: Sarah got 60 questions correct, 15 questions wrong, and she got 20% of the questions wrong.

Step-by-step explanation:

First, let's solve for how many questions Sarah got correct.

80% as a fraction can be simplified as [tex]\frac{8}{10}[/tex]. To find how many questions Sarah answered correctly, we can set up a proprtional relationship as follows:

[tex]\frac{8}{10}=\frac{?}{75}[/tex]

Next, after we cross multiply, 8 X 75 = 600, and 600 ÷ 10 = 60

So, Sarah got 60 out of 75 questions correct.

To find how many she missed, we can simply subtract 60 from 75 to get 15.

So, Sarah got 15 out of 75 questions wrong.

Finally, to find the percentage of the questions that Sarah got wrong, we can use the 15 out of 75 incorrect questions that we found earlier to create a percentage.

15 ÷ 75 = 0.2

0.2 X 100 = 20

So, Sarah got 20% of the questions wrong.

given the function f(x)=-2x^4-16x^3-36x^2, determine all intervals on which f is both decreasing and concave down

Answers

Answer:

  (0, ∞)

Step-by-step explanation:

The only maximum, local or otherwise, is at x=0. Since the leading coefficient is negative, the function is decreasing and concave down for x-values greater than 0.

  0 < x < ∞ . . . . . decreasing and concave down

__

Since the leading coefficient of this even-degree function is negative, it will have a generally ∩ shape. It will be decreasing to the right of any local maximum.

The first derivative is negative only for x > 0, so that is the only region where the function is decreasing. Since that x=0 is a local maximum, the function must be concave downward in that neighborhood.

__

The attached graph shows the function and its first and second derivatives. The function is concave down where the second derivative is negative, to the right of the right-most point of inflection.

_____

Additional comment

A graphing calculator provides a quick answer to a question like this. You can find the same answer algebraically.

The first derivative is ...

  f'(x) = -8x^3 -48x^2 -72x = -8x(x^2 +6x +9) = -8x(x+3)^2

This has a zero at x=-3 where the graph of it touches the x-axis, but does not change sign. That means f(x) has a flat spot at x=-3, but is not decreasing except to the right of x=0.

The second derivative is ...

  f''(x) = -24x^2 -96x -72 = -24(x^2 +4x +3) = -24(x +1)(x +3)

The second derivative will be negative for x < -3 and x > -1, to the left and right of the points of inflection. This means f(x) is concave upward only for -3 < x < -1, and concave downward everywhere else.

The function is concave downward and decreasing for x > 0.
