Eddie found a store that sells cell phone cases for $18.50 plus $0.15 per letter engraved on the case. A second store sells cases for $18.00 plus $0.25 per letter engraved on the case. How many letters would Eddie have to engrave on his case for it to cost the same at either store?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

5 letters

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = the number of letters engraved.

For the first store, the cost can be written as (18.50 + 0.15x).

For the second store, the cost can be written as (18 + 0.25x).

For the cost and value of x to be the same, let them equal eachother and evaluate x:

18.5 + 0.15x = 18 + 0.25

0.1x = 0.5

∴x=5

A rectangular lawn 4m by 10m has a garden of uniform width added to one end. Then, along the combined side length of the lawn and garden , another garden is added, whose width is twice that of garden . The total area of the lawn and both gardens is 72 m2

Answers

Answer and explanation:

A rectangle's width is longer than the length

And so given a rectangular lawn 4m by 10m,

the width of the lawn= 10m

the length of the lawn= 4m

If a garden of uniform width is added, then garden's width = 10m

The garden of uniform width is added to the width side of the rectangular lawn( since along the combined side length of the lawn and garden, another garden is added)

The garden added to the combined side length of the lawn and garden has width twice that of the garden = 2*10= 20m

Given that total area of the lawn and two gardens = 72m²

Total area of lawn and 2 gardens(Area of rectangle(lawn+2 garden's)) is length * width

= 4*10+ 10*x+ 20*y=72

Therefore equation for total area of lawn and both gardens is 40+10x+20y=72

Where x is length of second garden attached to the width side of the lawn and y is length of the garden attached to the combined length side of the lawn and first garden

x can be solved

40+10x+20y=72

10x+20y=72-40

10x+20y=32

10x=32-20y

x=32-20y/10

Y can be solved

40+10x+20y=72

10x+20y=72-40

10x+20y=32

20y=32-10x

y=32-10x/20

A train freight car weighs 25 tons when empty. A conveyor belt pours coal into the car at a constant rate of 1/3 ton per minute until it is full.

The dump truck (Refer to problem 8) weighs 55 tons when filled. At the same time the freight car is being filled, an identical freight car filled

to capacity is being emptied at a rate of 1/6 ton per minute.

How long, in minutes, until the freight cars are the same weight?

The tucks will weigh the same in

minutes.

How much coal will be in each truck when they weigh the same?

There will be

tons of coal in each truck.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

mass of Freight car=25tons

the rate of filling is 1/3 ton per minute

let the time taken to fill the freight car be x

and the total mass after x minute be y

Hence the mass as a function of time is expressed as

y=25+1/3x----------1

mas of dump truck=55tons

rate of being emptied= 1/6 tons per minute

let the time taken to empty the dump truck be x

and the total mass after x minute be y

Hence the mass as a function of time is expressed as

y=55-1/6x----------2

Step two:

equating equations 1 and 2,

1. The tucks will weigh the same in

55-1/6x=25+1/3x

collect like terms

55-25=1/3x+1/6x

30=(2+1/6)x

30=3/6x

30=1/2x

30=0.5x

x=30/0.5

x=60min

or

1 hour

The tucks will weigh the same in  60minutes(1 hour)

2. How much coal will be in each truck when they weigh the same?

For the  train freight car, the weight after 60 minutes is

y=25+1/3(60)

y=25+20

y=55tons

55-25=20tons

There will be 20tons

For the  dump truck, the weight after 60 minutes is

y=55-1/6(60)

y=55-10

y=45tons

55-45=10tons

There will be 10tons

PLEASE HELP!!!!! 2.) What is the perimeter of a polygon with vertices at (-3, 1), (5, 1), (-3, 4), (5, 4)? 30 points if you can help

Answers

Answer:

22 units.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find the perimeter of the polygon with vertices at: (-3, 1); (5, 1); (-3, 4); and (5, 4).

Let’s first plot the points and see what polygon we acquire. Please refer to the graph below.

As we can see, when plotting the points and connecting them, we get a rectangle.

So, we can use the perimeter formula for a rectangle, given by:

[tex]P=2(\ell+w)[/tex]

Where [tex]\ell[/tex] Is the length and [tex]w[/tex] is width.

Remember that the perimeter is simply the distance around the figure.

So, let’s find the length. We can do so by counting or by subtracting.

By counting, we can see that the length (longer side) is 8 units.

And by subtracting, we get the same length of |5-(-3)| or 8 units.

We use absolute value because distance is always positive.

Using the same process, we find the width to be 3 units.

Using subtract, we can see that this is indeed true as |1-4|=3.

So, we can now substitute the values into our formula:

[tex]P=2(8+3)[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]P=2(8+3)=2(11)=22\text{ units}[/tex]

So, the perimeter of the polygon is 22 units.
