A catering business specializes in catering wedding receptions. They charge $400 for setting up the buffet and an additional $7.50 per guest. Mr. and Mrs. Smith want to spend no more than $1600 on the catering. Write and solve an inequality to determine the number of guests that can be invited to the reception.​

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x<=160

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

Charges= $400

Additional charges= $7.5 per guest

let the number of guests be x

let the total cost be y

the model for the situation is given as

y=mx+C

Step two:

given that y=1600

we can solve for x as

1600=7.5x+400

1600-400=7.5x

1200=7.5x

divide both sides by 7.5 we have

x=1200/7.5

x=160

Therefore the expected guest should not be more than 160

x<=160

If -2z+3=9 what is the value of 2/3z?

Please Explain the steps.

Answers

Answer:

-2

Step-by-step explanation:

1.Subtract 3 from both sides and the equation is -2z=6

2.Divide both sides by -2 and the equation is z=-3

3.Multiply -3 by 2/3 and you get -2

Answer:

2/3z = -2

Step-by-step explanation:

1. First you want to find out what z is, so you have to solve for z.

2. To solve for z, first subtract 3 from the 3 and the 9. 3 minus 3 is equal to 0, so it cancels out. 9 minus 3 is equal to 6.

3. The new equation is -2z = 6, so now you have to divide -2z by -2 and 6 by -2. -2z divided by -2 is equal to 1z or z, and 6 divided by -2 is equal to -3.

4. The simplified equation is z = -3.

5. Now that we solved for 1z, we have to solve for 1/3 by dividing 1 by 3 and -3 by 3. 1 divided by 3 is 1/3, and -3 divided by 3 is -1.

6. We have solved for 1/3z (1/3z = -1), but now we want to solve for 2/3z so we have to multiply 1/3z by 2, and -1 by 2. 1/3z times 2 is 2/3z, and -1 times 2 is equal to -2.

7. The simplified equation for the value of 2/3z in the equation -2z + 3 = 9 is 2/3z = -2

what is the slope of a line perpendicular to the line whose equation is 2x-y=-6

Answers

Answer:

m⊥ = –½

Step-by-step explanation:

First, put the given equation in slope-intercept form:

2x – y = –6

–y = –2x – 6

y = 2x + 6

The slope of the line perpendicular to the line given will be the negative reciprocal of the given line's slope, so:

If m = 2, then m⊥ = its negative reciprocal:

m · –1

2 · –1

–2  →  –½

So, the negative reciprocal of 2 is –½.

Brian, Chris, and Damien took a math test that had 20 questions. The number of questions Brian got right is 14 more than the number of questions Chris got right. Damien correctly answered 2 less than the number of questions Chris answered correctly. If Brian and Damien have the same score, which statement is true?

Answers

Answer:

C. Brian and Damien both answered 2 more questions correctly than Chris did.

Step-by-step explanation:

A. Brian and Damien both answered 2 fewer questions correctly than Chris did.

B. Brian and Damien both answered 4 more questions correctly than Chris did.

C. Brian and Damien both answered 2 more questions correctly than Chris did.

D. Brian and Damien both answered 4 fewer questions correctly than Chris did.

Let

B = number of questions Brian got right

C = number of questions Chris got right

D = number of questions Damien got right

The number of questions Brian got right is 14 more than 1/4 the number of questions Chris got right.

B = 14 + (1/4) * C

Damien correctly answered 2 less than 5/4 the number of questions Chris answered correctly.

D = (5/4) C - 2

If Brian and Damien have the same score,

14 + (1/4) * C = (5/4) C - 2

14 + 1/4C = 5/4C - 2

14 + 2 = 5/4C - 1/4C

16 = 5C-C/4

16 = 4/4C

C = 16

B = 14 + (1/4) * C

= 14 + 1/4*16

= 14 + 4

= 18

D = (5/4) C - 2

= 5/4*16 - 2

= 5*4 - 2

= 20 - 2

= 18

The sum of two numbers is x. If one of the numbers is 12, what is the other?

a. 12 x
b. 12 - x
c. 12 + x
d. x - 12

Answers

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

The question states that the sum of two numbers is x, and they give us one number which is 12. We know that 12 + 12x cannot equal x. We also know that 12 + 12 + x = x will cancel out the variable. Then, we can eliminate B, as the questions stated that the sum of two numbers is x, and they gave us one number of x. We know that the other number will be the unknown value minus 12, because 12 + x - 12 = x will simplify into x = x, which is true.

The wavelength of violet light is 4.0 x 10^−7 m. The wavelength of red light is 6.5 x 10^−7 m. How much longer is the wavelength of red than violet?
A 2.5 × 10^–7 m
B 1.05 × 10^–7 m
C 2.5 × 10^–6 m
D 1.05 × 10^–6 m

Answers

Answer:

A 2.5 × 10^–7 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

wavelength of violet light = 4.0 x 10^−7 m.

The wavelength of red light = 6.5 x 10^−7 m

To find the how much longer is wavelength of red light than violet light we have to find difference of wavelength of red and violet light

Difference in  wavelength of red light and violet light =

wavelength of red light -wavelength of violet light

                         = 6.5 x 10^−7 m - 4.0 x 10^−7 m

Difference in  wavelength of red light and violet light = (6.5 - 4.0)*10^−7 m

Difference in  wavelength of red light and violet light =2.5 x 10^−7 m

Thus,

wavelength of red light is 2.5 x 10^−7 m longer than wavelength of violet light

32 = 2⁵ (Base of 2 and power of 5)

For 81:

factors

81 = 3*3*3*3

81 = 3²*3²

81 = 3²⁺²

81 = 3⁴ (Base of 3 and power of 4)

If p varies directly as
the cube of q, and p =
26 when q = 2, find p
when q = 5

Answers

Answer:

The value of p at q = 5 is 406.25

Step-by-step explanation:

p varies directly as the cube of q

→ That means p ∝ q³

The equation of variation is p = kq³, where k is the constant of variation

∵ p = 26 when q = 2

→ Use them to find the value of k

∵ 26 = k(2)³

∴ 26 = k(8)

∴ 26 = 8k

→ Divide both sides by 8

∴ [tex]\frac{26}{8}=\frac{k}{8}[/tex]

3.25 = k

→ Substitute it in the equation of variation

p = 3.25 q³ ⇒ equation of variation

q = 5

→ Substitute it in the equation of variation to find p

∴ p = 3.25 (5)³

p = 406.25

The value of p at q = 5 is 406.25
