Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Below.

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Divide both sides by 2.

2. After dividing both sides by we would have:

x + 14 = 20

The next step would be

Subtract 14 from both sides.

3. 2(x + 14) = 40

x + 14 = 20

x = 20 - 14

x = 6.

2x + 28 = 40

2x = 40 - 28

2x = 12

x = 6.

Jacob wants to buy a new bike that costs $369. He currently has $150 saved for the bike, and he can add $3 each day to the bike fund. Write an equation and solve to determine how many days it will take Jacob to save enough money for the new bike.

Answers

Answer:

150 + 3x = 369 X= 73

Step-by-step explanation:

X is the amount of days

So 150 minus 369 would be 219

Then take 219/3 and that would mean X equals 73

One person can mow a lawn in 30 minutes. A second person requires 45 minutes to mow that lawn. How long will it take the two people, working together, to mow the lawn?

Answers

Answer:  16 1/4 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let A be the mowing rate for the first person, and B the rate for the second. X will be the time spent mowing.

We are told that A = 30 min/lawn.  B = 45 min/lawn.  These are conversion factors, so we can invert them to:

A =  1 lawn/30 min.  B = 1 lawn/45 min

If both work together, the amount of lawn that is mowed working togehterwould be the time, X (in minutes), spent times their individual rates:

X*(A + B) = Lawn Mowed

We want to know the time, X, it would take to mow the same 1 lawn together.  [Lawn Mowed = 1].  Use the equation:

X*(A + B) = Lawn Mowed

X*((1 lawn/30 min) + (1 lawn/45 min)) = 1

X/(30 min) + X/(45 min) = 1

X/30 + X/45= 1

X + X(30/35) = 30  {Multiply both sides by 30]

(1 + 30/35)X = 30

(65/35)X = 30

X = 30*(35/65)

X = 30/(7/13)

X = 30*(7/13)

X = 210/13

X =  16 1/4 minutes

Write the equation of the line passes through the point (10, 2) and is perpendicular to the line: y=-5x+7

Please show work

Answers

Answer:

Perpendicular line: y = ⅕x + 0 or y = ⅕x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the point, (10, 2), and the linear equation, y = -5x + 7:

In order to find the equation of the perpendicular line that passes through (10, 2), we must first determine the definition of perpendicular lines.

Definition:

Perpendicular lines have negative reciprocal slopes ⇒ this means that when you take and multiply the slopes of both lines, it results in a product of -1.

In other words, since the slope of the given line, y = -5x + 7 is m = -5, then it means that the slope of the other line must be m₂ = ⅕ because:

                    m₁ × m₂  = -1

                     -5 ×  ⅕  = -1

Solution:

Now that we have the slope of the other line, m₂ = ⅕, and the given point, (10, 2), substitute these values into the slope-intercept form to solve for the y-intercept, b :

y = mx + b

2 = ⅕(10) + b

2 = 2 + b

Subtract 2 from both sides:

2 -2 = 2 -2 + b

0 = b

Hence, the y-intercept is b = 0.

Equation:

The linear equation of the perpendicular line that passes through point (10, 2) is: y = ⅕x + 0 or   y = ⅕x

The square of the sum of two numbers is 144 and the sum of their squares is 80. Find the numbers.(Use completing the square method)
Please help me

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(x + y)^2 = 144

x^2 + y^2 = 80

----

x + y = 12 ---> y = 12 - x

x^2 + y^2 = 80

x^2 + (12-x)^2 = 80

2x^2 - 24x + 64 = 0

x^2 - 12x + 32 = 0

x = 4, x = 8

y = 8, y = 4

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

x + y = -12 ---> y = -12 - x

x^2 + y^2 = 80

x^2 + (-12-x)^2 = 80

2x^2 + 24x + 64 = 0

x^2 + 12x + 32 = 0

x = -4, x = -8

y = -8, y = -4

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

One number is + or -4, the other is + or -8,

and the absolute value of the sum is 12.

Answer:

(4,8);(8,4);(-4,-8);(-8,-4)

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, let's start writing down the two conditions:

[tex]\left \{ {(x+y)^2 = 144} \atop {x^2+y^2=80}} \right.[/tex]

Mumble.  The second almost look like a square, if only there was the [tex]2xy[/tex] term. Let's add (and subtract, so we aren't creating something new) term to the second:

[tex](x+y)^2-2xy = 80[/tex] But we know what the first term is, it's 144. Let's replace and do some number tricks to get:[tex]144-2xy=80 \rightarrow 72-xy=40\\72-40=xy \rightarrow xy=32[/tex]

At this point, let' stare at it for a while. You can tell that the system is simmetrical (if you replace x with y you still get a solution). Moreover, x and y have the same sign: it means that if (a,b) is a solution, then also (b,a), (-a,-b) and (-b, -a) are solutions, and since it's a 4th degree system (the degree of a system is the product of the degrees of the single equations, and they're both quadratic) there are no other solution.

Let's find one pair then. We're tasked to find two numbers that sum to [tex]\sqrt{144} = 12[/tex] and whose product is 32. that is, the root of the polynomial

[tex]z^2+12z+32= (z+4)(z+8)[/tex] (or if you can't see the factors right away, bruteforce it with quadratic formula, it's always good practice). That tells us that one of the two is -4, and the other is -8. From what we said above, the solutions are by combining them with plus or minus.

[tex](4,8);(8,4);(-4,-8);(-8,-4)[/tex]
