Ally and Beck went fishing and caught a total of 75 fish. At home,
Ally told Jair she caught twice as many fish as she actually caught.
Beck told Jair he caught three times as many fish as he actually
caught. If what they told Jair had been true, then Ally would have
caught 75 fewer fish than Beck. How many fish did Beck actually
catch?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Beck actually caught 45 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

System of Equations

We call the following variables:

x = number of fish Ally caught

y = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, thus:

x + y = 75      [1]

If Ally had caught twice as much fish as she actually did, and Beck had caught three times as many fish as he actually did, then Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck, thus:

3y = 2x + 75      [2]

From [1]:

x = 75 - y      [3]

Substituting in [2]:

3y = 2(75 - y) + 75

Operating:

3y = 150 - 2y + 75

Simplifying:

5y = 225

Dividing by 5:

y = 45

Beck actually caught 45 fish

Answer 2

Answer:

Beck caught 45 fish

Step-by-step explanation:

a = number of fish Ally caught

b = number of fish Beck caught

They caught a total of 75 fish, so we have:

b + a = 75  

From the facts in our question we know Ally would have caught 75 fewer fish than Beck.

3b = 2a + 75  

a = 75 - b

3b = 2(75 - b) + 75

3b = 150 - 2b + 75

5b = 225

5b ÷ 5 = 225 ÷ 5

b = 45

Beck caught 45 fish.

Answers

Answer:

C. x = 4√70

Step-by-step explanation:

To find x, we would apply the leg rule.

Leg rule is:

Hypotenuse/leg = leg/part

Hypotenuse = 36 + 20 = 56

Leg = x

Part = 20

Plug in the values into the equation

Thus, we would have:

56/x = x/20

Cross multiply

x*x = 56*20

x² = 1,120

x = √1,120

x = √(16*70)

x = 4√70

Area of polygon = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

the given points are :

Point A (2.5)

Point B (8,5)

Point C (8,9)

Point D (5,7)

Point E (2,9)

Firstly , create the array

A     2       5

B     8       5

C     8       9

D     5       7

E      2      9

A      2      5

Now,

Multiply the x coordinates of each vertex by the y coordinate of the next vertex . and then add the result.

⇒ 10 + 72 + 56 + 45 + 10 = 193 .......(1)

Now,

Multiply the y coordinate of each vertex by the x coordinate of next vertex. then add the result

⇒ 40 + 40 + 45 + 14 + 18 = 157   ........(2)

Now, Subtract equation (2) from equation (1), we get

193 - 157 = 36

Now, Divide by 2 to get the area of polygon

∴ we get

Area of polygon = 18

According to the Centers for Disease Control, about 18% of adolescents age 12-19 are obese. Suppose we take a random sample of 30 adolescents and find the proportion in our sample who are obese. We record this value. Now, repeat this many more times so that we have a great many sample proportions drawn from this population. Suppose we make a dotplot of the sample proportions. Would the dotplot be a visualization of the population distribution, the distribution of a sample, or the sampling distribution of proportions?

Answers

Answer:

the sampling distribution of proportions

Step-by-step explanation:

A sample is a small group of observations which is a subset of a larger population containing the entire set of observations. The proportion of success or measure of a certain statistic from the sample, (in the scenario above, the proportion of obese observations on our sample) gives us the sample proportion. Repeated measurement of the sample proportion of this sample whose size is large enough (usually greater Than 30) in other to obtain a range of different proportions for the sample is called the sampling distribution of proportion. Hence, creating a visual plot such as a dot plot of these repeated measurement of the proportion of obese observations gives the sampling distribution of proportions

Write the equations of these circles.

Answers

I attached an image cause it’s easier to explain the answers. I just want to add that if the centre of a circle is the origin it means that it has the coordinates (0,0).
Hope this helps

The equation for the circle is x² + y² = 9/4 if the Centre origin, radius 3/2, and for the Centre origin, radius 0.5 is x² + y² = 0.25.

What is a circle?

It is described as a set of points, where each point is at the same distance from a fixed point (called the center of a circle).

It is given that:

The center of the circle is (0, 0) or the origin.

The radius of the circles is given.

As we know, the standard equation for the circle is:

(x - h)² + (y - k)² = r²

Here (h, k) is the center and r is the radius of the circle.

a) Centre origin, radius 3/2

Plug h = 0, k = 0, and r = 3/2

x² + y² = (3/2)²

x² + y² = 9/4

Similarly,

b) Centre origin, radius 0.5

x² + y² = 0.25

c) Centre origin, radius √3

x² + y² = 3

Thus, the equation for the circle is x² + y² = 9/4 if the Centre origin, radius 3/2, and for the Centre origin, radius 0.5 is x² + y² = 0.25.
