One box is placed on a scale. A second box that is known to weigh 10 pounds less than the first box is stacked on top of the first box.

Together, the boxes weigh 48 pounds.

If w represents the weight of the first box placed on the scale, write a problem ?

Answers

Answer 1

Let w represents the weight of the first box placed on the scale and y represent the weight of the second box.

The second box weigh 10 pounds less than the first box. Hence:

y = w - 10

-w + y = -10     (1)

The two boxes weigh 48 pounds. hence:

w + y = 48       (2)

Solving both equations gives:

w = 29, y = 19

The first box weighs 29 pounds while the second box weighs 19 pounds.

What is 3.468 rounded to the nearest tenth of an ounce?

Answers

Answer:

3.5

Step-by-step explanation:

The tenths place would be 0.1

So in 3.468 the 4 is in the tenths place

Look at the number to the right of it, if it is greater than 5 you round up and if it is 4 or lower you stay the same.

For 3.468 you would round up

So you would have 3.5

Solve the following quadratic function by utilizing the square root method. y = x2 - 64​

Answers

Answer:

[tex]x=\pm\sqrt{y+64}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

All you need to do is isolate the x.

First, add 64 to both sides:

[tex]y=x^2-64\\x^2-64+64=y+64\\x^2=y+64[/tex]

Then, take the square root of both sides:

[tex]\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{y+64}\\x=\sqrt{y+64[/tex]

Actually, that is:

[tex]x=\pm\sqrt{y+64}[/tex]

Here's the reason for that. An example would be:

[tex]x^2=4[/tex]

Here, you'd take the square root of both sides to solve for x.

[tex]\sqrt{x^2}=\sqrt{4}\\x=2[/tex]

Right? But X could also be a -2, because a negative times a negative is a positive.

[tex](-2)^2=4\\-2\times-2=4\\4=4[/tex]

Therefore, [tex]x=2, -2[/tex] or [tex]x=\pm2[/tex]

[tex]x^2=2\times2=4\\x^2=-2\times-2=4[/tex]

The ratio of students in Class X to Class Y is 2 : 5. There are 24 more students in Class Y than Class X. How many students must transfer from Class Y to Class X so that both classes have equal number of students?

Answers

Answer: 12 students

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X and Y stand for the number of students in each respective class.

We know:

X/Y = 2/5, and

Y = X+24

We want to find the number of students, x, that when transferred from Y to X, will make the classes equal in size. We can express this as:

(Y-x)/(X+x) = 1

---

We can rearrange X/Y = 2/5 to:

X = 2Y/5

The use this value of X in the second equation:

Y = X+24

Y =2Y/5+24

5Y = 2Y + 120

3Y = 120

Y = 40

Since Y = X+24

40 = X + 24

X = 16

--

Now we want x, the number of students transferring from Class Y to Class X, to be a value such that X = Y:

(Y-x)=(X+x)

(40-x)=(16+x)

24 = 2x

x = 12

12 students must transfer to the more difficult, very early morning, class.

it just means to convert these equations into function definitions.

and a function looks like

y = ... something with x, factors, other functions, constants

1)

x + y = z

y = -x + z or z - x

2)

x - y = z

x - z = y or y = x - z

3)

x × y = z

y = z/x

4)

x/y = z

x = z × y

x/z = y or y = x/z

work out the m and c for the line 3y+2x=-1

Answers

Answer:

m = -2/3 and b = -1/3

Step-by-step explanation:

Write the equation of this line in slope-intercept form.  Then m = slope and b = y-intercept and the basic equation is y = mx + b.

Solving 3y+2x=-1 for y, we get 3y = -2x - 1, or y = (-2/3)x - 1/3

Here we can easily see that m = -2/3 and b = -1/3.

[33] x = 140° & y = 118°

    The lines are parallel, sso we can tell that y will equal 118° degrees because of corresponding angles. Then for x, we can add the non-adjacent angles together, 118° + 22° = 140°

[35] x = 26° & y = 64°

    x will be 180° - 90° - 64° = 26° because a triangle's angles are equal to 180° and the box represents a 90° angle. y is equal to 64° because the lines are parallel, and if we "flip" one of the triangles around we can see that y and 64° are corresponding angles. (to check, we add 26° + 64° + 90°, and it does equal 180°!)
