From April to the hot season again, it is blossoming, radiant, and a seductress." His months were only approximate, later or earlier the rain-laden wind may drive up the water gate of the Colorado River from the Gulf and bring to us our heat, chill, or radiance. In the desert, we see the land set its seasons by the rain.

The function that represents their household income if they work the same number of hours is 52x + 25.

Therefore the answer is B. (r + s)(x) = 52x + 25

Rhonda's paycheck is modeled by the function r(x) = 22x + 50, where x is the number of hours worked.

Shalene's paycheck is modeled by the function s(x) = 30x – 25, where x is the number of hours worked.

The function that represents their household income if they work the same number of hours can be determined by adding their individual income

(r + s)(x) = 22x + 50 + 30x - 25

(r + s)(x) = 52x + 25

Answer: To express 40 1/4% as a fraction, we can convert the percentage to a fraction with a denominator of 100: 40 1/4% = 40.25/100.

To simplify this fraction we can divide both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor (GCF) which is 25.

So, (40.25/100) = (4025/10000) = (161/400)

To express 65 5/8% as a fraction, we can convert the percentage to a fraction with a denominator of 100: 65 5/8% = 65.625/100.

To simplify this fraction we can divide both the numerator and denominator by the greatest common factor (GCF) which is 625.

So, (65.625/100) = (65625/10000) = (261/400)

Therefore, the simplest form of 40 1/4% as a fraction is 161/400, and 65 5/8% as a fraction is 261/400

Answer:

Given that RS bisects MO at N, we know that:

RN = RO (by definition of a bisector)

MN + NO = MO (by the angle bisector theorem)

Given that MN = 5x + 8 and NO = 10 + 3x, we can substitute these values into the second equation to find the value of x.

MN + NO = MO

(5x + 8) + (10 + 3x) = MO

8x + 18 = MO

Now we can use the first equation to find the value of x.

RN = RO

5x + 8 = 10 + 3x

3x = 2

x = 2/3

Therefore, the value of x is 2/3.

Answer:

To solve a system of equations by substitution, we can use one equation to solve for one variable in terms of the other variable, and then substitute that expression into the other equation.

Given the system of equations:

10x + 2y = 4

.-9x + 3y = 18

We can start by isolating y in one of the equations. For example, we can use the first equation:

10x + 2y = 4

To solve for y, we can divide both sides by 2:

y = -5x + 2

Now we can substitute this expression for y into the second equation:

-9x + 3(-5x + 2) = 18

-9x - 15x + 6 = 18

-24x + 6 = 18

-24x = 12

x = -0.5

Now that we know x = -0.5, we can substitute this value back into the original expression we found for y:

y = -5(-0.5) + 2

y = 2.5

So the solution of the system of equations is (x, y) = (-0.5, 2.5).

The shortest side cannot be any shorter than the difference of the two known sides:

  18.1 -16.6 = 1.5

The simplified form of the expression is option C. (3)^5/12 * (4)^2/3.

An exponential expression is one which has the value of the power of one of its terms to be greater than 1 or in a fraction form. Thus some laws are required to simplify a given exponential expression. These laws are sometimes referred to as the law of indices.

Considering the given question;

(3^2/3 * 3^3/2)^5/12  x (4^2/3)

Simplifying this expression requires applying required laws, so that;

(3^2/3 * 3^3/2)^5/12 = (3^6/6)^5/12

                                 = (3^1)^5/12

                                 = 3^5/12

(3^2/3 * 3^3/2)^5/12 = 3^5/12

Therefore, we have;

(3^2/3 * 3^3/2)^5/12  x (4^2/3) = (3)^5/12 x (4)^2/3

The addition of two or more fractions with the same denominator is straightforward.

Simply add the numerators and keep the same denominator. For example:

(1/5) + (2/5) = (1 + 2) / 5 = 3/5

If the fractions have different denominators, you will need to find a common denominator before adding the numerators. The common denominator is the least common multiple of the denominators. Once you have found the common denominator, convert each fraction to an equivalent fraction with the common denominator and then add the numerators.

For example:

(1/5) + (2/3) = (3/15) + (10/15) = (3 + 10) / 15 = 13/15

So, Amy used 30 stamps of 41-cent stamps and 17 stamps of 7-cent stamps.

This is a system of equations problem. We can call the number of 41-cent stamps x and the number of 7-cent stamps y.

The two equations are:

x + y = total number of stamps used

0.41x + 0.07y = 1.79 (the total cost of the postage in dollars)

We can use the first equation to solve for one of the variables in terms of the other. For example, we can solve for y in terms of x:

y = total number of stamps used - x

Then we can substitute this into the second equation:

0.41x + 0.07(total number of stamps used - x) = 1.79

Solving for x,

x = (1.79 - 0.07*total number of stamps used) / 0.41

We can substitute this into the first equation to solve for total number of stamps used.

x + y = total number of stamps used

x + (total number of stamps used - x) = total number of stamps used

2x = 1.79/0.41 + 0.07/0.41

x = (1.79/0.41 + 0.07/0.41)/2

x = (1.79 + 0.07)/(0.41*2)

So, x = 30 stamps of 41-cent stamps

and y = (total number of stamps used - x) = (total number of stamps used - 30) = (1.79/0.48 - 30) = 17 stamps of 7-cent stamps

So, Amy used 30 stamps of 41-cent stamps and 17 stamps of 7-cent stamps.

Considering the 12-face diagonals of a rectangular block, 30 pairs of these diagonals are skew lines.

In a rectangular block, there are a total of 12 face diagonals. These diagonals are formed by connecting the opposite vertices of each face of the block. To determine the number of pairs of skew lines among these diagonals, we can consider the following:

There are 6 faces in a rectangular block, each with 2 diagonals.

Every diagonal on one face is unique and does not intersect with any other diagonal on the same face.

However, diagonals on opposite faces are parallel to each other and therefore, do not form skew lines.

So, we will be selecting one diagonal from one face, so we have 6 options, then we select another diagonal from another face, which would be 5 options, and we repeat this process until we exhaust all the diagonals. This will give us 6*5 = 30 pairs of skew lines.

a40 = a +39d = x + 105,

now subtract a20 by a40,
