Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

6 days210 pages

Step-by-step explanation:

1. The number of pages (y) Amir reads in x days is ...

  y = 35x

__

2. Jessie has been reading 1 more day than Amir, so an expression for the number of days Jessie has been reading is ...

  x +1

The number of pages Jessie has read is ...

  y = 30(x +1)

__

3. The system of equations is the two of these equations written together:

y = 35xy = 30(x +1)

__

4. Using substitution to solve this, we find it convenient to substitute for y. Either equation provides an expression for y that can be substituted into the other equation. After substitution, the equation looks like ...

  35x = 30(x +1)

__

5. We can subtract 30x from both sides and divide by 5 to solve.

  35x -30x = 30(x +1) -30x

  5x = 30x +30 -30x

  5x = 30 . . . . simplified form after subtracting 30

  x = 6 . . . . . . .result of dividing both sides by 5

  y = 35x = 35·6 = 210

  (x, y) = (6, 210)

__

6. It takes Amir 6 days to catch Jessie. At that time, both will have read 210 pages.

Classify ∠COB in the image below as either Acute, Obtuse, Right, or Straight.

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The measure of ∠COB is 140° which is greater than 90° but less than 180° so it's an obtuse angle.

Angle COB is 140 degrees, which is Obtuse

Obtuse means between 90 degrees and 180 degrees, exclusive.

Answers

Answer:

The sphere has a diameter of 32 in.

The radius’s length is one-half the length of the diameter.

Step-by-step explanation:

The diameter is the measurement of the line that starts at one end of a circle or a sphere and ends at the other end.

The radius is half the diameter. The radius goes from one end of the circle or sphere to the center.  

So, if a sphere has a radius of 16 inches, it would have a diameter of 32 inches.

16 * 2 = 32

Grady marks down some $2.49 pens to $1.99 for a week and then marks them back up to $2.49. Find the percent of increase and the percent of decrease to the nearest tenth. Are the percent of change the same for both price changes? If not, which is a greater change?

Please, need answer in 5 minutes

Answers

The percent decrease is found by using the formula (original price - new price)/(original price). The percent decrease is then (2.49 - 1.99)/2.49 = 0.20 = 20%. A percent increase is found by using the formula (new price - original price)/(original price). The percent increase is then (2.49 - 1.99)/1.99 = 0.25 = 25%. The percents of change are not the same. The percent increase is greater.

Answer:

2.49-1.99= 0.5

0.5 divided by2.49 times 100 is about 20% decrease

1.99-2.49+0.5 also so it is also a 25 percent increase

Find the surface area of the composite solid. PLZ HELP

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, so the surface area is found by adding up all the areas of each individual shape of the entire solid.

I attached a picture of some of the missing values. That should help a little with visualizing.

Since the three rectangles are all the same values, you can substitute adding them by just multiplying lw (their individual areas) by 3.

The three triangles at the top are all the same as well, so you can multiply their areas ([tex]\frac{1}{2} bh[/tex] ) by 3, too.

Then there's the triangle at the bottom that is by itself, that will just have a 1 in front of it.

Now you can make your surface area equation:

[tex]SA=3lw+3(\frac{1}{2} b_1h_1)+\frac{1}{2} b_2h_2[/tex]

The b1h1 are the three triangles at the top and the b2h2 is the triangle at the bottom.

[tex]SA=3(10)(16)+3(\frac{1}{2})( 10)(6)+\frac{1}{2} (10)(8.7)\\SA=480+90+43.5\\SA=613.5[/tex]

To the nearest square unit, what is the area of the regular heptagon shown below?

Answers

Answer:1572

Step-by-step explanation:

Am god

To the nearest square unit, Area of heptagon = 1572 square unit

The correct option is B.

What is heptagon?

A heptagon is a polygon with 7 sides and 7 angles. Sometimes the heptagon is also known as “septagon”. All the sides of a heptagon meet with each other end to end to form a shape.

Given,

Side length of heptagon = 20.8 unit

Radius of the incircle = 21.6 unit

Perimeter of heptagon = 7×side = 7×20.8 = 145.6 unit

Area of heptagon = (1/2)Perimeter × radius of incircle

                               = 0.5 × 145.6 × 21.6

                               = 72.8 × 21.6

                               = 1572.48 square units

Hence, 1572 square unit is the area of the heptagon rounded to nearest square unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

I am going to assume that the equivalent expression is fully simplified.

To simplify this expression, we use the distributive method.

Using this method we get:

4·(5x+3y) = 4·5x+4·3y

Now that we have the terms seperated, simplify each of them:

[tex]4x^2-16=0[/tex]

Factor:

Step-by-step explanation:

y=4x^2-16

Set equal to zero to find the x intercepts

0 =4x^2-16

Factor

0 = 4(x^2 -4)

Factor again, noticing the difference of squares ( a^2 - b^2) = (a-b)(a+b)

0 = 4(x-2) (x+2)

Using the zero product property

0 = x-2   0 = x+2
