A park ranger spent $208 to buy 12 trees.
Redwood trees cost $24 each and
spruce trees cost $16 each. How many of
each tree did the park ranger buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Let x represent number of redwood trees and y represent number of spruce trees.

We have been given that a park ranger bought 12 trees. We can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]x+y=12...(1)[/tex]

[tex]y=12-x...(1)[/tex]

We are also told that redwood trees cost $24 each, so cost of x redwood trees would be [tex]24x[/tex].

Each spruce tree costs $16, so cost of y spruce trees would be [tex]16y[/tex].

Since the park ranger spent $208 on trees, so we can represent this information in an equation as:

[tex]24x+16y=208...(2)[/tex]

Upon substituting equation (1) in equation (2), we will get:

[tex]24x+16(12-x)=208[/tex]

[tex]24x+192-16x=208[/tex]

[tex]8x+192=208[/tex]

[tex]8x+192-192=208-192[/tex]

[tex]8x=16[/tex]

[tex]\frac{8x}{8}=\frac{16}{8}[/tex]

[tex]x=2[/tex]

Therefore, the park ranger bought 2 redwood trees.

Upon substituting [tex]x=2[/tex] in equation (1), we will get:

[tex]y=12-x\Rightarrow 12-2=10[/tex]

Therefore, the park ranger bought 10 spruce trees.

Answer 2

The park ranger bought 2 redwood trees and 10 spruce trees.

To solve this problem, we can set up a system of equations based on the given information:

Let x represent the number of redwood trees.Let y represent the number of spruce trees.

We have two pieces of key information:

The total cost of the trees is $208.The total number of trees is 12.

This gives us two equations:

24x + 16y = 208 (total cost equation)x + y = 12 (total number of trees equation)

We can solve this system using substitution or elimination. Let's use substitution:

From the second equation, solve for y: y = 12 - x.Substitute y in the first equation: 24x + 16(12 - x) = 208.Simplify and solve for x: 24x + 192 - 16x = 208 → 8x = 16 → x = 2.Substitute x back into the equation for y: y = 12 - 2 → y = 10.

Therefore, the park ranger bought 2 redwood trees and 10 spruce trees.

Answers

Answer:

Which plant was taller when Nara got the plants? C. They were equally tall

Which plant grew faster?  B. The second plant

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope of the first plant :

m = (y2 - y1)/(x2- x1)

m = (36 - 34)/(15 - 10) = 0.4

y-intercept of the first plant :

y = m*x + b

b = y1 - m*x1

b = 34 - 0.4*10 = 30

From the picture we can see that the y-intercept of the second plant is 30 cm

Y-intercept represents plant heights when Nara got the plants; then they were equally tall

From the picture we can see that second plant grew 2 cm in 2 days; then its slope is 2/2 = 1

Slope measures how fast each plant grew; then the second plant grew faster

What is the residual value when x = 5?

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

(-0.86)

The residual value when x = 5 is -0.86.

What is meant by Residual Value?

Residual value is defined as the difference of the value that we predicts with that of the observed value.

It is given that,

Line of best fit is,

y = –0.7x + 2.36

Predicted value at x = 5 is,

y = -0.7 × 5 + 2.36 = -1.14

Observed value at x = 5 is y = -2

Residual value = Observed value - Predicted value

                         = -2 - -1.14

                         = -0.86

Hence the residual value is -0.86.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that, Steve is making a circular shield with a radius of 11 inches for a school play. We need to find the length of cardboard he need to make the outer border of the shield. It means that we need to find the circumference of the circular shield of radius 11 inches.

So,

[tex]C=2\pi r\\\\C=2\times 3.14\times 11\\\\C=69.08\ \text{inches}[/tex]

So, he will need 69.08 inches of cardboard to make the outer border of the shield.

prove that 7 + 3 root 2 is not a rational number​

Answers

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

let 7 + 3√2 be an rational number where

7+3√2 = a/b [ a and b are coprime and b is not equal to zero]

3√2= a/b-7

3√2 =( a-7b) /b

√2 = (a-7b) /3b .....(i)

Now ,from equation (i) ,we get that √2 is rational but we know that √2 is irrational. so actually 7 + 3√2 is irrational not rational. thus our assumption is wrong. The number is irrational.

Answer:

Prove by contradiction.

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

Assume it is rational, then:

Let x = 7 + 3√2 = p/q      where p and q are integers and p/q is in simplest form.

x^2 = 49 + 42√2  + 18 = p^2/q^2

67q^2 = p^2  - 42√2q^2

67q^2 - p^2 = -42√2 q^2

67q^2 - p^2 is rational and q^2 is rational so that makes -42√2  rational.

but we know that -42√2  is irrational, so our original assumption is not true.

Find the value of x in the triangle above

Answers

Answer: x =  8

Step-by-step explanation: So you have 3 sides and 3 numbers. Identify the side that has a number without a variable. (This goes for both triangles) Then you divide the 1st number by the 2nd. In this case it would be 20 or side "B" divided by 5 or side "E", which equals 4. You then take 4 and multiply it by 4 or side "D" (Because it's the only other side that does not have a variable) and you take your answer (16) and 2x or side "A", and make an equation. The equation would be : 2 * x = 16. Now solve the equation. Your answer is : x = 8.

Find the equation of the line that has slope of 7 and passes through the point (-9,2).

Answers

Answer:

y=7x+65

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to find the equation for a line that passes through the point (-9,2) and has a slope of 7.

First of all, remember what the equation of a line is:

y = mx+b

Where:

m is the slope, and

b is the y-intercept

To start, you know what m is; it's just the slope, which you said was 7. So you can right away fill in the equation for a line somewhat to read:

y=7x+b.

Now, what about b, the y-intercept?

To find b, think about what your (x,y) point means:

(-9,2). When x of the line is -9, y of the line must be 2.

Because you said the line passes through this point, right?

Now, look at our line's equation so far: . b is what we want, the 7 is already set and x and y are just two "free variables" sitting there. We can plug anything we want in for x and y here, but we want the equation for the line that specfically passes through the the point (-9,2).

So, why not plug in for x the number -9 and for y the number 2? This will allow us to solve for b for the particular line that passes through the point you gave!.

(-9,2). y=mx+b or 2=7 × -9+b, or solving for b: b=2-(7)(-9). b=65.

The equation of the line that passes through the point (-9,2) with a slope of 7

is

y=7x+65

Matt has $900 in a checking account, has $15,000 in investments, owns an
$8000 car, and owns a $30,000 house. What is the total value of his large
assets

Answers

Final answer:

The total value of Matt's large assets, which include his investments, car, and house, adds up to $53,000.

Explanation:

The student is asking about calculating the total value of large assets that Matt owns. To find this, we add up the value of the investment, car, and house as these are considered large assets. The checking account is generally not included in large assets, as it is considered liquid cash rather than an asset of substantial value like property or investments.

Investments: $15,000Car: $8,000House: $30,000

We calculate the sum of these amounts to get the total value of Matt's large assets:

$15,000 + $8,000 + $30,000 = $53,000

Therefore, the total value of Matt's large assets is $53,000.
