Jose asks his friends to guess the higher of two grades he received on his math tests. He gives them two hints. The difference of the two grades is 16. The sum of one-eighth of the higher grade and one-half of the lower grade is 52. The system that represents his scores is below. x – y = 16 StartFraction 1 over 8 EndFraction x plus StartFraction one-half EndFraction y equals 52.x + StartFraction one-half EndFraction x plus StartFraction one-half EndFraction y equals 18.y = 52 What is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer : 96

x – y = 16 --------> equation 1

1/8 x + 1/2 y = 52

x is the higher grade and y is the lower grade

We solve the first equation for y

x - y = 16

-y = 16 -x ( divide each term by -1)

y = -16 + x

Now substitute y in second equation

1/8 x + 1/2 ( -16 + x ) = 52

1/8x - 8 + 1/2 x = 52

1/8x + 1/2x - 8 = 52

Take common denominator to combine fractions

1/8x + 4/8x -8 = 52

5/8x - 8 = 52

Add 8 on both sides

5/8x = 60

Multiply both sides by 8/5

x = 96

We know x is the higher grade

96 is the higher grade of Jose’s two tests.

Answer 2

The higher grade and lower grade of Jose’s two tests will be 96 and 80.

What is the solution of the equation?

The solution of the equation means the value of the unknown or variable.

Jose asks his friends to guess the higher of two grades he received on his math tests.

He gives them two hints.

Let x be the higher number and y be the lower number.

The difference of the two grades is 16.

x - y = 16      ...1

The sum of one-eighth of the higher grade and one-half of the lower grade is 52.

x/8 + y/2 = 52

x + 4y = 416     ...2

Subtract equation 1 from 2, we have

4y + y = 416 – 16

     5y = 400

       y = 80

Then the value of x will be

x – 80 = 16

        x = 80 + 16

        x = 96

The higher grade and lower grade of Jose’s two tests will be 96 and 80.

Answers

Answer:

4 : 1 or 4 times

Step-by-step explanation:

V of sphere is

V = 4/3 π r³

then we can compare both of them dirextly

Vs : Vhs

4/3 π r³ : ½ (4/3 π (2r)³)

4/3 π r³ : ½ * 4/3 π 8r³

1 : ½ * 8

1 : 4

Vhs : Vs = 4 : 1

so the volume of hemisphere is 4 times bigger than the sphere.

Find the volume of a prism that is 5 m long, 40 cm wide, and 2500 mm high.

Answers

Answer:

5.0 [tex]m^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a rectangular  prism is given as:

V = L * W * H

where L = length

W = width

H = height

Put all the dimensions in the same unit, metre (m).

Length = 5 m

Width = 40 cm = 40 / 100 = 0.4 m

Height = 2500 mm = 2500/1000 = 2.5 m

The volume of the prism is:

3. Nancy and Harry are sliding a stone statue and moving it to a new location in their garden. Nancy is pushing the statue with a force of 120N at a 60° angle to the horizontal and Harry is pulling the statue with a force of 180N at a 40° angle with the horizontal. What is the magnitude of the horizontal force exerted on the statue?

Answers

Answer:

197,8879 N.

Step-by-step explanation:

The magnitude of the horizontal force exerted on the statue can be calculated using trigonometric functions.

The question given says that Nancy is pushing the statue with a force of 120 N at a 60° angle to the horizontal and Harry is pulling the statue with a force of 180 N at a 40° angle with the horizontal.

With that information can be calculated the horizontal force exerted on the statue by Nancy, the horizontal force exerted on the statue by Harry and, adding that results, the total horizontal magnitude can be calculated.

The cosine function can be used to calculate the horizontal component of the forces exerted by Nancy and Harry, to determine the horizontal component of the force exerted on the statue.

F= (120 N cos 60°) + (180 N x cos 40°)

F= 197,8879 N

Answers

Answer:

so 2a+3b=±13

Step-by-step explanation:

4a²+9b²=97

ab=6

2a+3b=?

by using formula

(a+b)²=a²+b²+2ab

(2a+3b)²=(2a)²+(3b)²+2(2a)(3b)

(2a+3b)²=4a²+9b²+12ab

putting values

(2a+3b)²=97+12(6)

(2a+3b)²=97+72

(2a+3b)²=169

taking square root on both sides

√(2a+3b)²=√169

2a+3b=±13

i hope it will help you

Answer:

2a+3b = 13

Step-by-step explanation:

Using this formula

[tex](x+y)^2 = x^2+y^2+2xy[/tex]

Where,

x = 2a and y = 3b

Putting in the above formula

=> [tex](2a+3b)^2=4a^2+9b^2+12ab[/tex]

Putting  4a²+9b² = 97 and ab = 6

=> (2a+3b)² = 97+12(6)

=> (2a+3b)² = 97+72

=> (2a+3b)² = 169

Taking sqrt on both sides

=> 2a+3b = 13

Answers

Answer:

Point B is 4 units to the right and 2 units down

Step-by-step explanation:

Since our x is positive, we are going to the right of the x-axis (where positive values lay).

Since our y is negative, we are going down in the y-axis (where negative values lay).

Answer: point B matches (4,-2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Within parentheses, the first number is the x-coordinate. Positive numbers are given without the +sign and they go to the Right. Negative -numbers go to the left.

The second number is the y-coordinate. Positive numbers go up, -numbers that are negative go down.

In this example it will be 4 Right and 2 Down.

What is an expression equivalent to
8

11

Answers

Answer: 88/11.

Step-by-step explanation:

We want to find a expression, with a denominator of 11, that is equivalent to 8.

remember that if we have the expression A/B

the numerator is A, and the denominator is B.

Then we have:

A/11 = 8

we need to find the value of A.

To do this, we can multiply by 11 in both sides of the equation:

(A/11)*11 = 8*11

A = 88

Then the expression is:

Maria, Max, Molly, and Mitch are all picking apples at an orchard. The number of apples Max picks is the number of apples Maria picks squared.

Answer:

Given: Maria=3

Max=3 squared=9

Molly=Max+Maria=9+3=12

Mitch=Molly squared+Maria=144+3=147

Hope this helps!

Solution:

Since Max picks the number of apples that Maria does but squared, then Max picks 3^2=3 * 3=9 apples. Since Molly picks the number of apples that Maria picks plus the number that Max picks, Molly picks 3+9=12 apples. Finally, Mitch picks the number Molly picks squared plus the number Maria picks, so Mitch picks 12^2+3=12 * 12 +3=144+3=147 apples.
