Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

equation: 1/2(s +8) = 20Mark began with 32 boxes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let s represent the number Mark started with. After buying 8 more, he then had s+8. After the fire, he had ...

  (1/2)(s +8) = 20

This equation can be solved by multiplying by 2, then subtracting 8.

  s +8 = 40

  s = 32

Mark began with 32 boxes.

The sum of the present ages of a son and his father is 60 years. Six years ago, father's

age was five times the age of the son. After 6 years, what will be son's age?​

Answers

Answer:

15 years old

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for their present ages is s+f=60. Six years ago would make it 54 and since the father's age six years ago was 5 times his son's the equation would be s+5s=54 (add the common terms) 6s=54. 54/6 is 9. So the son's age is 9, currently. In six years, the kid will be 15.

(1 point) Find the equation of the line that contains the point (8,6) and is perpendicular to the line 3x + 2y = 2. Write
the equation in the form y = mx + b and identify m and b.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Equation of given line:

3x+2y=2

2y=-3x+2

y=-3/2 x +2

slope =m1=-3/2

As lines are perpendicular:

m1×m2=-1

-3/2×m2=-1

required slope=m2=2/3

By using point slope form:

y-6=2/3(x-8)

3y-18=2x-16

3y=2x-16+18

3y=2x+2

y=2/3 x+2

m=2/3 ,b=2

Find the y-intercept and x-intercept of the line. 5x-8y=14

Answers

Answer:

x-intercept = 14/5

y-intercept = 7/4

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the value of an intercept (x/y) of an equation like this, simply set the other variable to 0 and divide both sides by the coefficient of the variable you're trying to find.

When x=0
5(0)-8y=14
-8y=14
Y=-2
So y intercept= -2

When y=0
5x-8(0)=14
5x=14
X=5/14 or 0.36
So x-intercept = 5/14

The side lengths 2, 3, 7 do not form any sort of triangle, much less a right triangle.

Side XY is of length 11b .
Side XZ is of length 2a+3b.
Side YZ is of length a The triangle is isosceles, with XY=XZ
The perimeter of the triangle is 91. Use algebra to find the values of a and b.

Answers

Answer:

a = 14, b = 3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

XZ = XY , then

2a + 3b = 11b ( subtract 3b from both sides )

2a = 8b ( divide both sides by 2 )

a = 4b

The perimeter is 91 , so

11b +2a + 3b + a = 91

14b + 3a = 91 ← substitute a = 4b

14b + 3(4b) = 91

14b + 12b = 91

26b = 91 ( divide both sides by 26 )

b = 3.5

and a = 4b = 4 × 3.5 = 14

This volume is approximate and occurs when you use pi = 3.14

==========================================================

Work Shown:

r = 2 ft = radius

h = 11 ft = height

V = volume of cylinder

V = pi*r^2*h

V = pi*2^2*11

V = pi*4*11

V = pi*44

V = 44pi .... exact volume in terms of pi

V = 44*3.14

V = 138.16 .... approximate volume and the final answer
