the sum of two rational numbers is 17/18 If one of the numbers is 5/24 find the other number

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 17/18

x = 5/24

5/24 + y = 17/18

to bring both fractions to the same denominator (I see it is 72, but let's do it formally correct for you to learn), we look for the LCM, the lowest common multiple of both.

for this we split both numbers into their prime factors and then build the the combination of the longest chains per prime factor :

24 = 2×2×2×3

18 = 2×3×3

the LCM (and the new denominator) is then

2×2×2×3×3 = 8×9 = 72

so,

15/72 + y = 68/72

y = 53/72

53 is a prime number, so the fraction cannot be further refined.

Miss Johnson borrow $8,300 to buy a car. She agreed to a
4% interest rate and payments for 5 years.
How much will her interest be?
What is her total debt for buying the car?

Answers

Answer:

Interest: $402.20

Total Debt owed: $9,302.00

Step 1: Multiply the principal (the original amount borrowed) by the interest rate (%):  

$8,300 x 4% = 360.00 (interest for one year)

Step 2: Find out how many years she will be paying back the loan and add that number of years to the first payment year ($360). ($360 + 5years = 365 total payments) Then multiply the total number of payments by the interest rate ($365 x .04 = $14.60 interest per payment).

Step 3: Add up all the yearly interests ($14.60 per payment x 12 months = $181.20 yearly interest)

Step 4: Add the yearly interest to the total debt owed.  

$9,302 + $181.20 = $9,483.20 total debt

Total amount owing after 5 years = $8,300+($365 x .04 interest rate per payment for 60 months)=10,605.00 dollars owed in 5 years of payments. Interest owed is 10,605 x .04=$410.20 for a grand total of 10,915.20 dollars owed overall for this 4% loan which was paid back over a period of five years with twelve monthly payments per year at four percent interest rate per month ($410.20/12=$34.02).

What is the value for y from the first equation, that could be substituted into the second equation?

-9z + 3x
3z + 9x
9z - 3x
-3x - 9z

Answers

Answer:

x = 1.27

y = 5.18

Step-by-step explanation:

to solve this system of  equation by simultaneous equation we say that let

3x+y=9.............................. equation 1

-5x+2y=4 .......................... equation 2

from equation 1

3x+y=9.............................. equation 1

y = 9 -3x.............................. equation 3

substitute the value of y = 9 -3x into equation 2

-5x+2y=4 .......................... equation 2

-5x + 2( 9 -3x) = 4

-5x + 18 - 6x = 4

collect the like terms

18 - 4 = 6x + 5x

14 = 11x

divide both side by 11

14/11 = 11x/11

x = 14/11

x = 1.27

put the value of x = 1.27 into  equation 3

y = 9 -3x.............................. equation 3

y = 9 - 3( 1.27)

y = 9 - 3.82

y = 5.18

to check if you are correct put the value of x and y into either equation 1 or equation 2.

3x+y=9.............................. equation 1

3( 1.27) + 5.18 = 9

3.81 + 5.18 = 9

9 = 9

Answers:

x = 40 and y = 40

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

Explanation:

The three angles involving x add up to 180 since they form a straight line or straight angle.

3x+0.5x+x = 180

4.5x = 180

x = 180/(4.5)

x = 40

Then note how the 0.5x and 0.5y angles are vertical angle pairs. Vertical angles form when we have two lines cross to form an X shape, and vertical angles are always opposite one another. Also, vertical angles are always the same measure.

0.5x = 0.5y

x = y

40 = y

y = 40

In the second step, I multiplied both sides by 2. Then I plugged in x = 40 we found earlier.

in a class there are 48 students the number of the girls is 3 times how many boys and girls are in class​

Answers

Answer:

There are 12 boys and 36 girls.

Step-by-step explanation:

This equation should help explain it.

x + 3x = 48

Let's say that there are an x number of boys. Then there would be 3 times x of girls. So x (the boys) plus 3x (the girls) equal 48 (the total amount of students).

To solve this equation, first add x and 3x to get 4x. Then divide that by 48, and we get x = 2.

The amount of boys = x, so there are 12 boys.

The amount of girls = 3x, so there are 3 times 12, or 36 girls.

Write a recursive formula for the explicit formula

A(n) = -1 + (n-1)(-2)

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

A recursive formula allows a term in the sequence to be found by adding a common difference to the previous term

Given the explicit formula

A(n) = - 1 + (n - 1)(- 2)

This is an arithmetic sequence with explicit formula

A(n) = a₁ + (n - 1)d

where a₁ is the first term and d the common difference

For the given explicit formula, then

a₁ = - 1 and d = - 2

The recursive formula is then

[tex]a_{n+1}[/tex] = [tex]a_{n}[/tex] - 2 ; a₁ = - 1

Which equation matches the graph shown?

Answers

Answer:

Vertex form:  y = -2(x - 1)²

Standard form: y = -2x² + 4x - 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the x-intercept as the vertex, (1, 0), and the y-intercept, (0, -2) as the two points on the graph of a parabola:

We can determine the equation by substituting these given values into the vertex form of the quadratic equation:

y = a(x - h)² + k

where:

a = determines the direction of where the graph opens, and the wideness or narrowness of the parabola.

(h, k) = vertex

Solve for the value of a:

Use vertex: (1, 0) and y-intercept, (0, -2):

y = a(x - h)² + k

-2 = a(0 - 1)² + 0

-2 = a(-1)²

-2 = a(1)

-2 = a

Quadratic Equation:Vertex form:

The quadratic equation in vertex form that matches the graph is:

y = -2(x - 1)² + 0 or  y = -2(x - 1)² This is the quadratic equation in vertex form.

Standard form:

To transform the vertex form into the standard form, y = ax² + bx + c:

Simply expand the perfect square, (x - 1)², through FOIL method before distributing -2:

y = -2(x - 1)²

y = -2(x - 1)(x - 1)

y = -2(x² -2x + 1)

y = -2x² + 4x - 2 ⇒ This is the quadratic equation in standard form.

Answers

John's membership in the gym and Madison's party are illustrations of linear equations.

1. John's equation

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{Base = 75}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Monthly = 30}[/tex]

The monthly expression is:

[tex]\mathbf{f(m) = Base + Monthly \times m}[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{f(m) = 75+ 30 \times m}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{f(m) = 75+ 30m}[/tex]

For 6 months, we have:

[tex]\mathbf{f(6) = 75+ 30 \times 6}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{f(6) = 255}[/tex]

Hence, the expression that represents the situation is [tex]\mathbf{f(m) = 75+ 30m}[/tex], and the amount for 6 months of membership is $255

2. Madison's party

The given parameters are:

[tex]\mathbf{Cake = 18.50}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Balloon = 20}[/tex]

[tex]\mathbf{Total = 63.50}[/tex]

Let n represent the cost of each balloon.

So, the equation is:

[tex]\mathbf{Cake + Balloon \times n = Total}[/tex]

This gives:

[tex]\mathbf{18.50 + 20 \times n = 63.50}[/tex]

Subtract 18.50 from both sides

[tex]\mathbf{ 20 \times n = 45}[/tex]

Divide both sides by 20

[tex]\mathbf{ n = 2.25}[/tex]

Hence, the expression that represents the situation is [tex]\mathbf{18.50 + 20 \times n = 63.50}[/tex], and the cost of each balloon is $2.25
