Essie likes plants. She never misses a chance to go to the nursery section in Home Depot. Essie has a total of $65.50 to spend on her trips to the store over the next three days. On her second trip to the nursery she spent $15.50 dollars more than what she spent on the first trip to the store. On her third trip to the nursery she spent two times much as what she spent on her first trip to the nursery. How much did she spend on her first trip to the nursery? Create a linear equation to model a real-world situation and solve the equation to find the solution


Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let $ x = the amount spent on the first day

The amount spent on the second day = x + 15.50

The amount spent on the third say = 2*x = 2x

Total amount Essie spent on 3 days = $65.50

x + (x +15.50) + 2x = 65.50

x + x + 15.50 + 2x = 65.50

Add like terms

4x + 15.50 = 65.50

Subtract 15.50 from both sides

4x = 65.50 - 15.50

4x = 50

Divide both sides by 4

x = 50/4

x = $ 12.50

The amount spent on the first day = $ 12.50

The amount spent on the second day = 12.50 + 15.50 = $ 28

The amount spent on the third day= 12.50 * 2 = $ 25

if y is directly proportional to x and y=5 when x=2, find the value of y when x =7​

Answers

Answer:

y = 17.5

Step-by-step explanation:

y = kx

→ Substitute in the values

5 = 2k

→ Divide both sides by 2 to isolate k

k = 2.5

⇒ y = 2.5x

→ Substitute in x = 7

y = 2.5x ⇔ y = 2.5 × 7 ⇔ y = 17.5

Answers

Answer:

p = (7 - 6)/5

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the expression  5 p + 6 = 7, to know the value of variable p. we need to make p the subject of the formula as shown;

Given  5 p + 6 = 7

Step 1: Subtract 6 from both sides

5p+6-6 = 7-6

5p = 7-6

Step 2: We will then divide both sides by the coefficient of p i.e 5 to have;

5p/5 = (7 - 6)/5

p =  (7 - 6)/5

Hence, the correct expression of variable p is p = (7 - 6)/5

1.) you are looking at your power bill for the month, you pay 12 cent per kilowatt hour. Running a 60 watt lightbulb for one hour is .0 6 KWH, if you leave a light on all the time that has 3 lightbulbs in it how much would that cost a 30 day month

2.) you were looking at your power bill for the month you pay .11 per kilowatt. Your power bill came out to $80.48 how many KWH of energy were using your house this month

3.) you plan to cut the board into three pieces to repair part of a railing. You are going to cut the two ends of the board into two equal pieces that are 2.6 feet long if the remaining piece needs to be 0.86 times longer than each of the first two cats what length boards did you buy round to the nearest tenth

Answers

1. Electrical energy consumption is measured at kilowatt-hour (KWh). Thus the cost of energy consumed for the month is $31.104.

2. The amount of energy used in the house for the month is 731.634 KWh.

3. The length of the board equals the sum of each length of the pieces. The length of the board to buy is 8.70 feet.

1. The rate of consumption of energy is measured in kilowatt-hour.

In the given question,

12 cent is paid per kilowatt-hour.

60 watts of light for 1 hour = 0.06 KWh

3 light bulbs of 60 Watts each for 1 hour = 3 x  0.06

                                           = 0.18 KWh

But,

30 days = 30 x 24 hours

                        = 1440 hours

The total energy consumed for the month = 1440 x 0.18

                                      =  259.20 KWh

The total cost for the month = 0.12 x 259.20

                                               = $31.104

Thus, the total cost for the month is $31.104.

2. Charge per kilowatt-hour = $0.11

Total power bill = $80.48

So that,

Total cost on bill = amount charge per kilowatt x total energy consumed in KWh

Which implies;

$80.48 = $0.11 x total energy consumed in KWh

total energy consumed = [tex]\frac{80.48}{0.11}[/tex]

                               = 731.634 KWh

Therefore, the amount of energy used in the house for the month is 731.634 KWh.

3. Each length of the two end pieces = 2.6 feet each

Given that the remaining piece needs to be 0.86 times longer than each of the first two. Then;

the length of the remaining piece = 2.6 + 0.86

                                                         = 3.46

The length of the remaining piece = 3.46 feet

The length of the board to buy = 2.6 + 2.6 + 3.46

                                                   = 8.66

Thus, the length of the board to buy is 8.70 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

Jayden is driving on a long road trip. He currently has 11 gallons of gas in his car. Each hour that he drives, his car uses up 0.75 gallons of gas. How much gas would be in the tank after driving for 4 hours? How much gas would be left after t hours?

Answers

Answer:

a. 8 gallons

b. (11-0.75t) gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

a. Here in this question, we are told that the total amount of fuel in the fuel tank is 11 gallons and the car consumes 0.75 gallon per hour. We are interested in knowing the amount of fuel left in the tank after driving for four hours.

We proceed as follows;

Since 0.75 gallon is consumed in an hour, the amount of fuel consumed in 4 hours would be the amount consumed in an hour * 4 hours

Mathematically, that would be 0.75 * 4 = 3 gallon

Now, the amount of fuel left is simply the difference between the initial amount of fuel in the tank minus the amount of fuel present after 4 hours.

That would be; 11 - 3 = 8 gallons

b. Like above, we want to know the amount of fuel left after t hours.

Since 0.75 is used up per hour, the amount used up in t hours would be 0.75 * t = 0.75t

Now, the amount of fuel that would be left in the tank would be the difference between what we had initially and what was used up.

Mathematically, that would be 11- 0.75t

Measure of arc CD = 112°

Step-by-step explanation:

Since quadrilateral ABCD is a cyclic quadrilateral,

m∠A + m∠C = 180°

129° + m∠C = 180°

m∠C = 180° - 129°

m∠C = 51°

Since, m(arc BD) = 2(m∠C) [Since measure of the arc is double of its inscribed angle]

                           = 2(51°)

                           = 102°

Since, m(arc BD) + m(arc CD) + m(arc BC) = 360°

102° + m(arc CD) + 146° = 360°

m(arc CD) = 360° - (102° + 146°)

                = 112°

Therefore, measure of arc CD is 112°.

3 : 1

Step-by-step explanation:

volume = length * width * height

The volume of the solid as it is shown is:

volume = 10 m * 6 m * 10 m = 600 m^3

old volume = 600 m^3

Now we triple the length.

The length becomes 3 * 10 m = 30 m

The new volume is:

volume = length * width * height

volume = 30 m * 6 m * 10 m = 1800 m^3

new volume = 1800 m^3

ratio of new volume to old volume = 1800 m^3 : 600 m^3

Divide both sides of the ratio by 600 m^3.

Ratio = 3 : 1

a^2 + b^2 = c^2

a^2 + 6^2 = 12^2

a^2 = 36+144

a^2 = 108

Take the square root

sqrt(a^2) = sqrt( 108)

a =sqrt(36*3)

a = sqrt(36) sqrt(3)

a = 6sqrt(3)

Now x = 2 times the length of a

x = 2 * 6 sqrt(3)

x = 12 sqrt(3)

She added a 16% tip to the total before any tax or discounts were applied. Which expressions could represent the total amount Charlotte paid

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Cost of the dinner=$d

Coupon=10% after

Tax=8%

Tax=0.08d

Tax + cost of dinner= d + 0.08d

Coupon for 10% discount after tax

10% coupon discount means she will pay 100% - 10%( coupon)

=90%

Price=90%(d + 0.08d)

=0.9(1.08d)

She added 16% tip to the total cost before any price or discount was applied

16% of d

=0.16*d

=0.16d

New price= 0.09(1.08d) + 0.16d

=0.972d + 0.16d

My best guess would be that the independent variable is A. the amount of miles Larry drives.
An independent variable is one that isn't changed by the other variables you are trying to measure.
The amount of miles Larry drives doesn’t depend on anything in this situation.
The question only mentions gallons of gas and miles so I would think you disregard the type of roads Larry drives on and type of car Larry drives.
The amount of gasoline Larry uses is a dependent variable because it depends on the amount of miles Larry drives.

The company will be launching a firework from the ground, but you want to increase the time it stays in the air by 2 seconds to build up the suspense. How can the company make this happen without changing the length of the fuse? How will this affect the maximum height of the firework? g(t) = -16t2 + 224t + 120

Answers

Answer: find the answer in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

To increase the time the fireworks stays in the air by 2 seconds to build up the suspense, 2 should be added to the time t.

T + 2 = t

T = t - 2

Substitute T for t in the function g(t)

The company will make this happen without changing the length of the fuse by substituting T for t which will lead to

g(t) = -16(t - 2)^2 + 224(t - 2) + 120

How will this affect the maximum height of the firework?

Initially the function is:

g(t) = -16t2 + 224t + 120

Where the time at maximum height is found by using the formula

t = -b/2a

b = 224, a = -16

Substitutes both into the formula

t = -224/2(-16)

t = -224/-32

t = 7

Substitute 7 for t in the first equation

g(t) = -16(7)^2 + 224(7) + 120

g(t) = -16(49) + 224(7) + 120

g(t) = -784 + 1568 + 120

g(t) = 904 metres

But when the time is delayed by 2 seconds in the air, the maximum height will be

g(t) = -16( 7 - 2 )^2 + 224(7 - 2) + 120

g(t) = -16(5)^5 + 224(5) + 120

g(t) = -16(25) + 224(5) + 120

g(t) = -400 + 1120 + 120

g(t) = 840

The effect will surely reduce the maximum height of the fireworks.

given the function f(x)=-2c+cx-x-x<2 you would simply the function to fill out the graph

Here we have a quadratic function and we want to find the value of a constant with a given restriction.

We will find that c = 8.

So we have the function:

[tex]f(x) = -2c + cx - x^2[/tex]

We know that:

[tex]f(5)^{-1} = -1 = \frac{1}{-2c + c\cdot 5 - (5)^2}[/tex]

Notice that the above equation means that:

[tex]-2c + c\cdot5 - (5)^2 = -1[/tex]

Then we just need to solve the above equation for c:

[tex]-2c + 5c - (5)^2 = -1\\\\(-2 + 5)\cdot c - 25 = -1\\\\3\cdot c = -1 + 25\\\\3\cdot c = 24\\\\c = 24/3 = 8[/tex]

So we found that the value of c is 8.

This means that the function is:
