Pierre has more money than Alex.
If Pierre gave Alex £20, they would have the same amount.
If Alex gave Pierre £22, then Pierre would have twice as much as Alex.
How much does each one actually have?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Pierre has  £ 146 and

Alex has  £ 106

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the money with Pierre be = p

Let the money with Alex = a

If Pierre gave Alex £20, they would have the same amount.

So, we should subtract £ 20 from p and add £ 20 to a

p - 20 = a + 20

     p    = a + 20 + 20

 p    = a + 40 ----------------(I)

If Alex gave Pierre £22, then Pierre would have twice as much as Alex.

p + 22 = 2*(a -22)

 p + 22 = 2a - 44      

         p  = 2a - 44 - 22

         p = 2a - 66

p -2a    = - 66   -----------------(II)

Substitute p = a + 40 in equation (II)

a + 40 - 2a = -66

 a - 2a + 40 = -66

     -a            = - 66 - 40

              -a  = - 106

      Multiply both sides by (-1)

[tex]\boxed{a = \£ \ 106}[/tex]

Substitute a = 106 in equation (I)

p = 106 + 40

[tex]\boxed{p = \£ 146}[/tex]

What is the missing value in this calculation?
2/13+ ?/13=6/13

Answers

Answer:

? = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

2/13 + ?/13 = 6/13        (Given)

-2/13               -2/13      (Isolate the unknown through subtraction)

?/13 = 6/13 - 2/13        

?/13 = 4/13                    (Combine like terms)

? = 4

Because the demoninators are the same, the unknown value can be found using isolation techniques. To find the unknown, subtract 2/13 from both sides. This eliminates the 2/13 from the right side while obeying the rule that states that what is done to one side must to done to the other. This leaves the ?/13 by itself on the right and 4/13 on the left. Again, because the demoninators are identical, the unknown value must be 4.

The answer probably is 4

The yearbook committee polled 80 randomly selected students from a class of 320 ninth graders to see if they would be willing to pay more for a yearbook if their names were printed on the front. of the students who were surveyed, 26 of them said they would be willing to pay extra.

with a desired confidence interval of 90%, which has a z*-score of 1.645, what is the margin of error of this survey?

Answers

Using the z-distribution, as we are working with a proportion, it is found that the margin of error for the 90% confidence interval is of 0.0524 = 5.24%.

What is a confidence interval of proportions?

A confidence interval of proportions is given by:

[tex]\pi \pm z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In which:

[tex]\pi[/tex] is the sample proportion.z is the critical value.n is the sample size.

The margin of error is given by:

[tex]M = z\sqrt{\frac{\pi(1-\pi)}{n}}[/tex]

In this problem, the critical value is given as z = 1.645, and since 26 out of 80 students said they would be willing to pay extra:

[tex]n = 80, \pi = \frac{26}{80} = 0.325[/tex]

Then, the margin of error is of:

[tex]M = 1.645\sqrt{\frac{0.325(0.675)}{80}} = 0.0524[/tex]

The length of a rectangular fam is 15 inches, and the width of the frame is 8 inches. What
is the length of a diagonal of this frame in inches?
Record your answer below. Just the number.

Answers

Answer: 17 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the length of a diagonal in a rectangle is [tex]d=\sqrt{w^2+l^2}[/tex]

Where

d is the diagonal

w is the width (8 for this)

l is the length (15 for this)

Sub these values into the equation

[tex]d=\sqrt{w^2+l^2}\\d=\sqrt{(8)^2+(15)^2}[/tex]

Solve

[tex]d=\sqrt{(8)^2+(15)^2}\\d=\sqrt{64+225}\\d=\sqrt{289}\\d=17[/tex]

Nadia walks at an average speed of (x + 2) km/h for (x – 3) hours and cycles at an average speed of (3x + 5) km/h for x hours. She covers a total distance of 74 km. (i) Form an equation in x and show that it reduces to 4x2 + 4x - 80 = 0. (ii) Solve the equation 4x2 + 4x – 80 = 0. (iii) Find the time taken for her entire journey.​

Answers

The time taken by Nadia for her entire journey is 5 hours

Speed and distance

Speed is the rate at which an object is moving, and it is defined as the distance traveled per unit of time. The formula for speed is:

           Speed = Distance/Time

Where distance is the distance traveled by an object and time is the time taken to travel that distance.

From the fomrula, we can write as

          Distance = Speed × Time

Here we have

Nadia walks at an average speed of (x + 2) km/h for (x – 3) hours and cycles at an average speed of (3x + 5) km/h for x hours.

As we know, Distance = Speed x Time  

Distance walked = (x + 2)(x - 3)

Distance cycled = (3x + 5)(x)

The total distance covered is given as 74 km,

=> (x + 2)(x - 3) + (3x + 5)(x) = 74

=> x² - 3x + 2x - 6 + 3x² + 5x = 74

=> 4x² + 4x - 80 = 0

Hence, the final equation is 4x² + 4x - 80 = 0

(ii) The quadratic equation, can be solved as follows

=> x² + x - 20 = 0  

=> x² + 5x - 4x - 20 = 0

=> x(x + 5) -4(x + 5) = 0

=> (x + 5) (x - 4) = 0

=> x = - 5 and x = 4

Here we cant take time as negative so take x = 4 hours

(iii) To find the time taken for her entire journey, we need to add up the time taken for walking and cycling:

Total time = (x - 3) + x

Total time = 2x - 3

Substituting the value of x  

Total time = 2(4) - 3 = 8 - 3 = 5

Therefore,

The time taken by Nadia for her entire journey is 5 hours

Find the values of a, b and c for the equation Hannah is solving.

Answers

A quadratic equation is represented by the form ax^2+ bx + c = 0

The values of a, b and c are 1, -3 and -5, respectively

How to determine the values of a, b and c?

The solution is given as:

[tex]x = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{29}}2[/tex]

The solution to a quadratic equation is represented as:

[tex]x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex]

By comparing [tex]x = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}[/tex] and [tex]x = \frac{3 \pm \sqrt{29}}2[/tex], we have:

-b = 3

So, b = -3

Also, we have:

2a = 2

So, a = 1

Also, we have:

b² - 4ac = 29

Substitute values for a and b

(-3)² - 4 * 1 * c = 29

This gives

9 - 4c = 29

Subtract 9 from both sides

-4c = 20

Divide by -4

c = -5

Hence, the values of a, b and c are 1, -3 and -5, respectively
