At Pontotoc Middle School there are only
7th and 8th graders. There are 15x + 13xy + 10y
students. There are 8x + 8xy + 8y 8th graders.
How many 7th graders are there?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

So what we need to do is find out how many are left after taking away the 8th graders.

15x - 8x =  7x

so we have part of that

7x

Then 13xy - 8xy

5xy

10y - 8y

2y

this means that for 7th graders its

7x + 5xy + 2y

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Answer:

7x + 5xy + 2y is the number of 7th graders in the school.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are told that the total number of students is 15x + 13xy + 10y for both, 7th and 8th grade. We are also told that there are 8x + 8xy + 8y 8th graders. Incase you weren't able to figure out by this detail, we need to subtract to find the answer. We need to subtract the total students, 15x + 13xy + 10y, from the 8th graders, 8x + 8xy + 8y.

The steps would look like this:

   15x + 13xy + 10y

— 8x + 8xy + 8y

---------------------------

  7x + 5xy + 2y

15 - 8 = 7

13 - 8 = 5

10 - 8 = 2

Answers

Answer:

  see the attached

Step-by-step explanation:

In the attachment, we will refer to the circles, bottom-to-top, as circles 1, 2 and 3. The black points of intersection, bottom-to-top, will be referred to by the letters A, B, C, D. The transversal line through the white point (W) and pink point (P) will be line q.

Step 1. Draw line q through point P so it intersects line m at some convenient point. Label that point W.

Step 2. Choose an arbitrary radius for your compass. Here, we have chosen it to be the length WB. It happens to be less than half the length of WP, but that is not a requirement.

Step 3. Draw an arc of the chosen radius centered at W and intersecting line q and line m. Label the intersection points A (on line m) and B (on line q). These intersection points are on circle 1.

Step 4. Draw an arc of the same radius centered at P. It should be a long enough arc that it would intersect the proposed line parallel to m. Label the intersection point on line q with label C. This intersection point is on circle 3.

Step 5. Adjust the compass width (radius) to the distance from A to B. This is the radius of circle 2.

Step 6. Draw an arc centered at C so that it intersects the arc of Step 4. This is circle 2, and you want it to intersect circle 3. Label that point of intersection D.

Step 7. Draw line PD parallel to m.

_____

The point of the construction is to create congruent alternate interior angles AWB and CPD, so that lines AW and PD are parallel.

Please Help! Select the correct systems of equations. Which systems of equations intersect at point A in this graph?

Answers

Answer:

The systems of equation satisfying the problem are

Y= 4x+9

Y= -3x-5

Y= 2x+5.

Y= 5x+11

Y= 3x+7

Y= -x-1

Step-by-step explanation:

From the graph in the figure

The point A ; x= -2,y=1

So the equations that will interest at point A are the equations that both pass through the point A.

To know the equations that pass through the point A we solve them simultaneously.

For

Y = 10x-1

Y= -3x-5

0= 13x +4

X= -4/13..... definitely not this one

For

Y= 4x+9

Y= -3x-5

0= 7x +14

-14= 7x

-2= x

Substituting the value of x into Y= 4x+9

Y= 4x+9

Y= 4(-2)+9

Y = -8+9

Y= 1

So it's definitely this one

Let's check to know if there is any more

Y = 2x+5

Y= x-1

0= x +6

Definitely not this one

For

Y= 2x+5.

Y= 5x+11

0 = 3x+6

-6= 3x

-2= x

Y= 2x+5.

Y=2(-2)+5

Y= 1

Definitely this one

For

Y= 3x+7

Y= -x-1

0 = 4x +8

-8= 4x

-2= x

Y= -x-1

Y= -(-2)-1

Y= +2-1

Y= 1

Definitely this one too

The correct options are system of equations shown by options (B)[tex]Y= 4x+9 \ and \ y = -3x-5[/tex]

(D) [tex]y= 2x+5 and \ y= 5x+11[/tex]

and (E) [tex]y= 3x+7 \ and\ y= -x-1[/tex].

Given, Coordinates of point A is (-2,1).

We have to find which systems of equations intersect at point A in this graph.

The system of equation which satisfy the point A(-2,1) will intersect at point A.

On putting the value of x=-2 and y= 1, in 1st pair

the equation doesn't satisfy.

similarly checking all the options, we find that the below system equations intersect at point A.

[tex]Y= 4x+9 \ and y = -3x-5 \\y= 2x+5 and \ y= 5x+11\\y= 3x+7 \ and y= -x-1[/tex]

Hence the correct options are system of equations shown by options (B), (D) and (E).

Elena drank 3 liters of water yesterday. Jada drank 3/4 times as much water as much water as Elena. Lin drank twice as much water as Jada. Did jada drink more or less water than Elena?

Answers

Answer:

Jada drank less water than Elina.

Step-by-step explanation:

Water drunk by Elina = 3 liters

Jada drank the water [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] times as much as water as Elina.

Therefore, water drunk by Jada = [tex]\frac{3}{4}\times 3[/tex]

                                                     = [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex]

                                                     = 2.25 liters

Lin drank water twice as much as Jada.

Therefore, Lin drank the amount of water = 2 × 2.25

                                                                   = 4.5 liters

Since Jada drank 2.25 liters of water and Elina drank 3 liters

Therefore, Jada drank less water than Elina.

what is the cost of paving a driveway that is 18m long and 4 m wide, if the paving costs $35 per square metre?​

Answers

Answer:

$2520

Step-by-step explanation:

→ Work out the area of the drive way

18 m × 4 m= 72 m²

→ Multiply the area by the cost per square metre

72 m² × $35 = $2520

The cost of paving a driveway that is 18m long and 4 m wide, if the paving costs $35 per square metre is $2520.

To calculate the cost of paving the driveway, you need to find the total area of the driveway and then multiply it by the cost per square meter.

The total area of the driveway can be calculated using the formula:

Area = length × width.

Given that the driveway is 18 meters long and 4 meters wide, the area would be:

Area = 18m × 4m

Area = 72 square meters.

Now,  find the cost of paving the driveway by multiplying the area by the cost per square meter:

Cost = Area × Cost per square meter

Cost = 72 square meters × $35/square meter

Cost = $2520.

So, the cost of paying the driveway would be $2520.

Answers

Answer:

Micheal sent 40 messages, Christine sent 20, and Dave sent 11.

Step-by-step explanation:

Christine, Dale, and Michael sent a total of 71 messages

C + D + M = 71

Dale sent 9 fewer messages than Christine

D = C - 9

Michael sent 2 times as many messages as Christine

M = 2C

Plug-in the numbers.

C + C - 9 + 2C = 71

4C - 9 = 71

4C = 80

C = 20

Now, plug in to other equations for other results.

D = (20) - 9

D = 11

M = 2(20)

M = 40

Micheal sent 40 messages, Christine sent 20, and Dave sent 11.

Verify?

40 + 20 + 11 = 71.

A. (-3, -6)
B. (0, 8)
C. (1, 8.9)
D. (1, -8.9)

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey, there!!!

Let me simply explain you about it.

We generally use the distance formula to get the points.

let the point R be (x,y)

As it an equilateral triangle it must have equal distance.

now,

let's find the distance of PQ,

we have, distance formulae is;

[tex]pq = \sqrt{( {x2 - x1)}^{2} + ( {y2 - y1)}^{2} } [/tex]

[tex]or \: \sqrt{( {5 + 3)}^{2} + ( {2 - 2)}^{2} } [/tex]

By simplifying it we get,

[tex] 8[/tex]

Now,

again finding the distance between PR,

[tex] pr = \sqrt{( {x2 - x1}^{2} + ( {y2 - y1)}^{2} } [/tex]

or,

[tex] \sqrt{( {x + 3)}^{2} + ( {y - 2)}^{2} } [/tex]

By simplifying it we get,

[tex] = \sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 6x - 4y + 13 } [/tex]

now, finding the distance of QR,

[tex]qr = \sqrt{( {x - 5)}^{2} + ( {y - 2)}^{2} } [/tex]

or, by simplification we get,

[tex] \sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 10x - 4y + 29 } [/tex]

now, equating PR and QR,

[tex] \sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 6x - 4y + 13} = \sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} - 10x - 4y + 29 } [/tex]

we cancelled the root ,

[tex] {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 6x - 4y + 13 = {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} -10x - 4y + 29[/tex]

or, cancelling all like terms, we get,

6x+13= -10x+29

16x=16

x=16/16

Therefore, x= 1.

now,

equating, PR and PQ,

[tex] \sqrt{ {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 6x - 4y + 13 } = 8} [/tex]

cancel the roots,

[tex] {x}^{2} + {y}^{2} + 6x - 4y + 13 = 8[/tex]

now,

(1)^2+ y^2+6×1-4y+13=8

or, 1+y^2+6-4y+13=8

y^2-4y+13+6+1=8

or, y(y-4)+20=8

or, y(y-4)= -12

either, or,

y= -12 y=8

Therefore, y= (8,-12)

by rounding off both values, we get,

x= 1

y=(8,-12)

So, i think it's (1,8) is your answer..

Which is one part of the immune system that helps protect the body from diseases? mucus skeleton esophagus fingernails Since the onset of the recent financial crisis, millions of Americans have looked for ways to earn additional income. For some, multi-level marketing companies like Avon and Herbalife presented a good avenue for making extra cash. In these types of operations, individuals pay the company for a bulk amount of goods that they then sell to other people. According to multi-level marketing firms and their trade groups, the system allows consumers to purchase their favorite products at a cut rate while also earning money. For many dissatisfied distributors, however, the unregulated nature of multi-level marketing creates a natural breeding ground for pyramid schemes.Multi-level marketing companies try to drive their distributors into a frenzy of excitement about their products. This causes them to buy more and more stock, often accumulating debt in the process. As people go deeper into the multi-level marketing rabbit hole, the venture can end up consuming their lives. Thats what happened to Santa Fe hairstylist Enrique Martinez and his wife Michelle when they started to purchase shipments of probiotic chocolate from a company called MXI Corp. The couple had experience with multi-level marketing before and thought they could handle the pressure, even though their past forays hadnt earned them any cash. Within five years, the couple had amassed more than $100,000 in debt and was spending $2,000 a month on healthy chocolate that did little more than take up space in their house.Defenders of the industry point out that many multi-level marketing firms offer full refunds to their distributors for any unsold stock. In fact, all 171 members of the Direct Selling Association are required to grant refunds. Unfortunately for the Martinez family, MXI Corp is not part of that trade group. But even if the couple could have been refunded for their unsold stock, theres a good chance they wouldnt have taken the opportunity to do so. According to consumer advocates, thats because the intense, emotional nature of multi-level marketing leads many distributors to simply throw away unwanted stock rather than return it. These companies have some sort of magical hold on people, said Brent Wilkes, who studies the effects of these firms on Latin Americans. All told, 16 million Americans will become involved with multi-level marketing sometime this year. While a few people may earn money, many others will be in danger of facing the same fate that met the Martinez family.[1]Answer the questions : 1.
