After solving the equation for n and b we find out that Lin bought 1 necklace and 4 bracelets.

We can set up the following system of equations based on the given information: n = number of necklaces, b = number of bracelets

4n + b = 20 (Lin spends $20 on necklaces and bracelets)

where 4n represents the cost of n necklaces and b represents the cost of b bracelets. This system of equations can be used to solve for n and b. we can solve for n and b using the system of equations:

n + 1b = 5

4n + 1b = 20

We can use the first equation to solve for n in terms of b: n = 5 - b

Substitute this expression for n into the second equation: 4(5 - b) + b = 20

Simplifying this equation, we get: 20 - 4b + b = 20

Solving for b, we get: b = 4

Substituting this value of b back into n = 5 - b, we get: n = 1

Therefore, Lin bought 1 necklace and 4 bracelets

The Pythagorean Theorem states that for a right triangle, the length of the hypotenuse squared is equals to the sum of the squared lengths of the sides of the triangle.

For a right triangle with an angle of 45º, we have that:

This is because the angle of 45º has an equal value of the sine and of the cosine.

Hence the side length of the top triangle is given as follows:

s = 5.

For the bottom triangle, the side length is of x, while the hypotenuse is of 5, hence:

The ordered pair that represent the number of red beads and gold beads is A. D, and E.

Majority of the explanations for ratio and proportion use fractions. A ratio is a fraction that is expressed as a:b, but a proportion says that two ratios are equal. In this case, a and b can be any two integers. The foundation for understanding the numerous concepts in mathematics and science is provided by the two key notions of ratio and proportion.

From the table we observe that the number of red beads and the gold beads are in the proportion x : y = 4 : 3.

Using the proportion we see that:

A: (20, 15) = 20 : 15 = 4 : 3

D: (80,60) = 4: 3

E = (100, 25)= 4:3

Answer:

Plug your values into the equation A=1/2bh and do the math. First multiply the base (b) by 1/2, then divide the area (A) by the product. The resulting value will be the height of your triangle!

Step-by-step explanation:

a. The projectile will be at a height of 576 ft above the ground after 1.43 seconds and after 5.56 seconds.

b. The projectile will crash on the ground after 9.84 seconds.

The solution has been obtained by solving the equation.

What is an equation?

A mathematical equation is a formula that uses the equals symbol (=) to connect two expressions and express their equality.

We are given an equation as h = -16t² + v₀t + 448

Also v₀ is given as 112.

a. In order to find the time (t) the projectile will be at a height of 576 ft above the ground, we need to substitute h = 576 and v₀ = 112.

On substitution, we get

⇒h = -16t² + v₀t + 448

⇒576 = -16t² + 112t + 448

⇒36 = -t² + 7t + 28                (On dividing both sides by 16)

⇒0 = -t² + 7t - 8  

⇒t² - 7t + 8 = 0  

On solving the equation using the quadratic equation formula, we get

t = (7 ± √49 - 32)/2

t = 1.43 or 5.56

So, it will be at height 576 ft after 1.43 seconds and after 5.56 seconds.

b. Similarly, now we will put h = 0 and v₀ = 112.

Now, we get

⇒0 = -16t² + 112t + 448

⇒t² - 7t - 28 = 0                (On dividing both sides by 16)

On solving the equation using the quadratic equation formula, we get

t = (7 ± √49 + 112)/2

t = 9.84 or -2.84

Since, time cannot be negative, so it will crash after 9.84 seconds.

Hence, the projectile will be at 576 ft after 1.43 seconds and after 5.56 seconds and will crash on the ground after 9.84 seconds.

Answer: 4(9a-4) and x = 18

Step-by-step explanation:

36a - 16 a common factor in this is 4 so if we factor out 4 we would get

4(9a-4)

1/2x - 7 = 1/3(x-12) we would distribute out the 1/3 so 1/3x and 1/3 x - 12 which would simply into 4

1/2x - 7 = 1/3x - 4 get the x's into one side so subtract 1/3x and add 7 on both sides

1/2x - 1/3x = 3 --- multiply 1/2x with 3/3 and 1/3x with 2/2

3/6x - 2/6x = 3

1/6x = 3 --- isolate x by multiplying 6 on both sides

(a) The percentage of people that left the event in the afternoon is 8%

(b) The total number of people that were there at the start of the fund-raising event were 68.

Let x be the number of people at the start of the event. Then, 0.6x were males and 0.4x were females.

In the afternoon, 0.2 * 0.4x = 0.08x females left the event.

So, there were 0.4x - 0.08x = 0.32x females left at the event.

In the evening, 33 + 35 = 68 people left the event, and x - 68 people were left.

Out of the x - 68 people, 0.6(x - 68) were males.

So, we have 0.75 * (x - 68) = 0.6 * (x - 68).

We can now solve for x:

0.75 * (x - 68) = 0.6 * (x - 68)

0.15 * (x - 68) = 0

x - 68 = 0

x = 68

Thus, there were 68 people at the start of the fund-raising event.

(a) The percentage of people who left the event in the afternoon was 0.08x / x * 100% = 0.08 * 100% = 8%.

The area of the shaded region is 12.5 square inches.

First we can subtract the area of the smaller triangle from the area of the larger triangle.

The larger triangle has a base of 8 inches and a height of 5 inches, so its area is:

Let's call the number of hours of labor required to replace the water pump as "x".

The total cost of the water pump and labor was $668, so we can write an equation:

$490 + $89x = $668

Now we can solve for x by subtracting $490 from both sides:

$89x = $668 - $490

$89x = $178

And finally, dividing both sides by $89:

x = $178 / $89

x = 2 hours

So, 2 hours of labor were required to replace the water pump.

a)  the number of sides = 24 sides (b) interior angle= 158.75° (c) sum of interior angles = 4080° (d) lines of symmetry = 12 (e) rotational symmetry of order  = 24.

a) To find the number of sides of a regular polygon given the value of its exterior angle, we use the formula:

360°/exterior angle = number of sides

So, for an exterior angle of 15°, we have:

360°/15° = 24 sides

b) To find the value of one interior angle, we use the formula:

interior angle = (number of sides - 2) * 180°/number of sides

So, for a polygon with 24 sides, we have:

interior angle = (24 - 2) * 180°/24

interior angle= 158.75°

c) The sum of the interior angles of a polygon with n sides is given by the formula:

sum of interior angles = (n - 2) * 180°

So, for a polygon with 24 sides, we have:

sum of interior angles = (24 - 2) * 180° = 4080°

d) To find the number of lines of symmetry of a regular polygon, we find the highest number of rotations that will produce the same figure. A regular polygon has n lines of symmetry if it can be divided into n equal parts by rotations of 360°/n.

So, for a regular polygon with 24 sides, we have:

lines of symmetry = 360°/interior angle = 360°/158.75° = 24/2 = 12

e) To find the order of rotational symmetry of a regular polygon, we find the number of rotations that will produce the same figure.

A regular polygon has rotational symmetry of order n if it can be divided into n equal parts by rotations of 360°/n.

So, for a regular polygon with 24 sides, we have:

rotational symmetry of order = 360°/exterior angle = 360°/15° = 24.

the probability of having 4 months containing exactly 2 birthdays and 4 months containing exactly 3 birthdays among 20 people is approximately 0.000008, or about 0.0008%

The problem of calculating the probability of a certain pattern of birthdays among a group of people can be approached using the techniques of combinatorics and probability. To calculate the probability of having 4 months containing exactly 2 birthdays and 4 months containing exactly 3 birthdays among 20 people, we can use the following steps: First, we need to choose which 4 months will have exactly 2 birthdays and which 4 months will have exactly 3 birthdays. There are 12 months to choose from, so the number of ways to make these choices is given by the binomial coefficient: C(12, 4) × C(8, 4). This is the number of ways to choose 4 months out of 12 to have exactly 2 birthdays, multiplied by the number of ways to choose 4 months out of the remaining 8 to have exactly 3 birthdays. Next, we need to assign the people to the months. To do this, we can use the principle of inclusion-exclusion, which states that the number of ways to assign the people to the months so that each of the chosen months has the correct number of birthdays is: N = (20!/(2!²× 3!⁴)) × (4¹² - 6 × 3¹² + 4 × 2¹²). This expression counts the number of ways to distribute the 20 people among the 12 months so that the chosen months have the correct number of birthdays, and subtracts the cases where one or more of the chosen months have too many or too few birthdays. The factor (20!/(2!⁸ × 3!⁴)) accounts for the fact that we are counting distinguishable arrangements of people. Finally, we can calculate the probability of the desired pattern of birthdays by dividing the number of favorable outcomes (N) by the total number of possible outcomes, which is simply the total number of ways to assign the people to the months, given by: 12²⁰. Putting it all together, we get: P(4 months with 2 birthdays, 4 months with 3 birthdays) = N / 12²⁰. Evaluating this expression gives: P(4 months with 2 birthdays, 4 months with 3 birthdays) ≈ 0.000008. Therefore, the probability of having 4 months containing exactly 2 birthdays and 4 months containing exactly 3 birthdays among 20 people is approximately 0.000008, or about 0.0008%.

For the required linear function , the height of the candle when the amount of time for  burning a candle is 16 hours is equal to 18.8 centimeters.

Let 'h' be the height of the candle.

And 't' be the amount of time used for burning.

Required linear function is :

h = mt + c

When t = 8 hours  , h = 20.4centimeters

20.4 = 8m + c ___(1)

When t = 19 hours  , h = 18.2centimeters

18.2 = 19m + c ___(2)

Subtract (2) from (1) we get,

20.4 = 8m + c

18.2 = 19m + c

2.2 = -11m

⇒ m = -2.2 / 11

⇒ m = -0.2

Substitute in (1) we get,

20.4  = 8( -0.2 ) + c

⇒ c = 20.4 + 1.6

⇒ c = 22

Now , h = -0.2t + 22

When t = 16 hours

⇒ h = -0.2(16) + 22

⇒ h = -3.2 + 22

⇒ h = 18.8 centimeters

Therefore, the height of the candle when amount of time of burning is 16 hours is equal to 18.8 centimeters.

The above question is incomplete, the complete question is:

Suppose that the height (in centimeters) of a candle is a linear function of the amount of time (in hours) it has been burning. After 8 hours of burning, a candle has a height of 20.4 centimeters. After 19 hours of burning, its height is 18.2 centimeters. What is the height of the candle after 16
