Pierre found a new store where he hopes to save
money on his supplies. He bought 4 brushes and 7
tubes of paint for $32. He has another order for 6
brushes and 8 tubes of paint that will cost $43.
What is the cost of one brush? What is the cost of
one tube of paint?

Answers

Answer 1
Your first equation is 4x + 7y= 32, the x’s representing the brushes and the y’s the tubes of paint. Our second equation is 6x+8y=43. What I did is I multiplied the first equation by 1.5 so that it turns into 6x+10.5y=48. Then I subtracted the second equation from the first, canceling out the x’s and leaving us with 2.5y=5. Then divided and got y=2. We then go back to any of the original equations and plug it in to get the x’s.
6x+8(2)=43. We get 6x+16=43. We subtract and are left with 6x=27 and then x=4.5. Then plug both of them in to a different equation to double check. You could also use substitution by isolating one of the variables in one equation and then plugging it in to the other one.

If the sum of two numbers is 10 and the diffference is 6, find the numbers​

Answers

8 and 2
8+2 = 10
8-2 = 6

X + y = 10

Rewrite as y = 10-x

Y - x = 6

Replace y

10-x -x = 6

Simplify:

10-2x = 6

Subtract 10 from both sides:

-2x = -4

Divide both sides by -2:

X = 2

Now replace x in the first equation:

2 + y = 10

Subtract 2 from both sides:

Y = 8

The two numbers are 8 and 2

Please someone explain how to solve this piecewise function!!!! Im super confused

Answers

Answer:

From top to bottom:

[tex]0, 1, 2, -8, -8[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the piecewise function:

[tex]g(x) = \left\{ \begin{array}{ll} 0.5x+1 & \text{if } x \leq 2 \\ -8 & \text{if } x > 2 \end{array} \right.[/tex]

Row 1:

We want to find g(-2).

Since -2 is less than (or equal to) 2, we will use the first equation. Thus:

[tex]g(-2)=0.5(-2)+1=-1+1=0[/tex]

Row 2:

Likewise, 0 is less than or equal to 2. We will continue to use the first equation:

[tex]g(0)=0.5(0)+1=1[/tex]

Row 3:

2 is not less than 2 but it is equal to 2. So we will continue to use the first equation:

[tex]g(2)=0.5(2)+1=1+1=2[/tex]

Row 4 and 5:

Both 4 and 6 are greater than 2. Thus, we will use the second equation. Therefore:

[tex]g(4)=-8\text{ and } g(6)=-8[/tex]

(a) Mary and Cynthia were building a cone-shaped sand castle. After some time, the diameter of
the sand shaped cone was 14 in. and the height was 15 in. What is the appoximate volume of the
sand cone rounded to the nearest tenth? (Show work!!) PLEASE HELP!

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle V\approx 769.7\text{ in}^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the diameter of the sand-shaped cone is 14 inches, and the height is 15 inches.

The volume for a cone is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle V=\frac{1}{3}\pi r^2h[/tex]

Where r is the radius and h is the height.

Since the diameter is 14, the radius is 7.

And we are given that the height is 15.

Therefore, the volume will be:

[tex]\displaystyle V=\frac{1}{3}\pi (7)^2(15)[/tex]

Use a calculator:

[tex]\displaystyle V\approx 769.7\text{ in}^3[/tex]

The volume of the cone is approximately 769.7 cubic inches.

A ball is tossed at a hole in a board. The ball goes into the hole 15 times and misses the hole 52 times.

Based on this experiment, what is the probability that the ball will go into the hole when tossed?

Enter your answer in the box as a percent rounded to the nearest whole number.

Answers

Probability (Ball goes into hole) = 0.22388 or 22.388%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Ball goes into hole = 15 times

Ball miss the hole = 52 times

Find:

Probability (Ball goes into hole)

Computation:

Total number of tries = 15 + 52

Total number of tries = 67

Probability (Ball goes into hole) = 15 / 67

Probability (Ball goes into hole) = 0.22388 or 22.388%

It depends on which definition of 'whole numbers' you use.

Some definitions say the whole numbers are the set of positive integers including zero; or the set of all non-negative integers. In this case, the answer would be 'false', since the set of integers includes negatives.

However, if you are using a definition of whole numbers which includes positive integers, including zero, and their negatives, the answer would be 'true'. Figure out how the term 'whole numbers' is being defined, then you can get your answer.

In a certain town there were 348 robberies last year. This year the number of robberies has gone down 40%. How many robberies were there this year, to the nearest whole number?

Answers

Answer:

209 robberies

Step-by-step explanation:

Robberies last year =348

Robberies has reduced by 40% which means there are (100-40)% = 60% robberies this year.

Number of robberies this year= 60% of 348 = 60/100 × 348 = 208.8

To the nearest whole number = 209

There are 209 robberies this year.

A square pyramid has a base with a side length of 6 inches and lateral faces with heights of 11 inches. What is the surface area of the pyramid?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf 168\ in.\²}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Surface area of the base:

= Length * Length

= 6 * 6

= 36 in.²

Surface Area of 1 Lateral Face:

= [tex]\sf \frac{1}{2} (Base * Height)[/tex]

Base = 6 inches

Height = 11 inches

= 1/2 (6*11)

= 3 * 11

= 33 in.²

Surface Area of 4 lateral faces:

= 33 * 4

= 132 in.²

Surface Area of the whole pyramid:

= 132 + 36

[tex]\rule[225]{225}{2}[/tex]

Hope this helped!

~AH1807

Answer:

SA = 168 in.²

Step-by-step explanation:

The surface area is the sum of the area of the base and the areas of the 4 congruent triangular sides.

s = side of the base

h = height of each side

SA = s² + 4(sh/2)

SA = (6 in.)² + 4(6 in.)(11 in.)/2

SA = 36 in.² + 132 in.²

SA = 168 in.²


Find the equation of the line through (-5,4) which is parallel to the line y=-x+6.
Give your answer in the form y=mx+b

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y = -x -1[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Passed through (-5,4)

Parallel to: y=-x + 6

Required

Determine the line equation

If it is parallel to: y=-x + 6, then it means that they have the same slope.

A linear equation y = mx + b has the slope m.

So, by comparison of y = mx + b  to y = -x + 6

[tex]m = -1[/tex]

The line equation is then calculated as:

[tex]y=m(x - x_1) + y_1[/tex]

Where

[tex]m = -1[/tex]

[tex](x_1,y_1) = (-5,4)[/tex]

So:

[tex]y = -1(x - (-5)) + 4[/tex]

[tex]y = -1(x +5) + 4[/tex]

[tex]y = -x -5 + 4[/tex]

[tex]y = -x -1[/tex]

or, x + x - 2 + x + 2 = 132

or, 3x = 132

or, x = 132 ÷ 3

or, x = 44

Find the equation of the line parallel to y=6 that contains the point (-1,1). Write the equation in slope intercept form

Answers

Given:

The equation of parallel line is [tex]y=6[/tex].

The line contains the point (-1,1).

To find:

The equation of the line.

Solution:

The slope intercept form of a line is:

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

Where, m is the slope and b is the y-intercept.

The equation of parallel line is

[tex]y=6[/tex]

It can be written as

[tex]y=(0)x+6[/tex]

The slope of this line is 0.

The slopes of two parallel lines are always equal. So, the slope of the required line is also 0. It passes through the point (-1,1) so the equation of the line is:

[tex]y-y_1=m(x-x_1)[/tex]

[tex]y-1=0(x-(-1))[/tex]

[tex]y-1=0[/tex]

[tex]y=1[/tex]

Therefore, the equation of the required line is 1.
