A student solved the equation 6s – 10 = 2 + 3s + s and got s = –4. His work shown below is his check for this problem. Which statement best applies to the work shown? A. His check does not work, thus s = –4. B. The work in his check is all correct, thus s = –34. C. The work in his check is all correct, thus s = –4. D. His check does not work, thus

Answers

Answer 1

The student's check does not work, thus s = -4. Therefore, the correct statement is A.

Let's evaluate the student's check for the equation 6s - 10 = 2 + 3s + s when s = -4.

Substitute s = -4 into the equation:

6(-4) - 10 = 2 + 3(-4) + (-4)

-24 - 10 = 2 - 12 - 4

-34 = -14

Since [tex]\(-34 \neq -14\)[/tex], the result obtained by the student's check is incorrect.

Therefore, the statement that best applies to the work shown is:

A. His check does not work, thus s = -4.

Ann had 75 fliers to post around town. Last week,
she posted 2/5 of them. This week, she posted 2/3 of the remaining fliers. How many fliers has she still not posted?

Answers

so, she had 75 fliers total, then she posted 2/5, how much is 2/5 of 75?  well, is just their product,

[tex]\bf 75\cdot \cfrac{2}{5}\implies \cfrac{150}{5}\implies 30 \\\\\\ \textit{how much is }\frac{2}{3}\textit{ of }\stackrel{remaining~75-30}{45}\textit{ fliers?}\qquad 45\cdot \cfrac{2}{3}\implies \cfrac{90}{3}\implies 30[/tex]

so, she had 75 total, she posted 30, then 30 again, so she hasn't posted 75 - 30 - 30.

collection of dimes and quarters has a total of $19.55. If there are three times as many quarters as dimes, find the number of each?

Answers

Use one equation for the number of coins and another equation for the value of the coins.

Let d = number of dimes.
Let q = number of quarters.

Number of coins:
q = 3d

Value of the coins:
A dime is worth $0.1
A quarter is worth $0.25

0.1d + 0.25q = 19.55

Now solve the two equations as a system of equations.

q = 3d
0.1d + 0.25q = 19.55

Since the first equation is already solved for q, replace q with 3d in the second equation.

0.1d + 0.25(3d) = 19.55

0.1d + 0.75d = 19.55

0.85d = 19.55

d = 23

q = 3d = 3(23) = 69

There are 23 dimes and 69 quarters.

Check:
23 dimes are worth 23 * $0.1 = $2.30
69 quarters are worth 69 * $0.25 = $17.25
The total value is $2.30 + $17.25 = $19.55
Also 69 is 3 times 23, so the number of quarters is indeed three times the number of dimes.
Our answer is correct.

A farmer harvested 35 acres of corn and 20 acres of beans. Animals ate 1/8 of the corn he originally planted. how many acres of corn did the farmer plant?

Answers

now..... we're assuming here, that the farmer planted "more than 35 acres" of corn, so, he planted some amount of corn, but he only harvested a fraction of it, which is 35 acres, and we're assuming he gave those 35 acres of harvested corn to the livestock, so the animals ate 1/8 of the corn he planted.

That means, if the animals ate 1/8 of the corn, and the farmer gave the animals the whole of the harvested corn, then we can say that the 35 acres is just 1/8 of what he planted.

now, if 35 is 1/8, what is the whole?  namely 8/8?

[tex]\bf \begin{array}{ccll} \stackrel{corn}{amount}&\stackrel{corn}{fraction}\\ \text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}&\text{\textemdash\textemdash\textemdash}\\ 35&\frac{1}{8}\\\\ c&\frac{8}{8} \end{array}\implies \cfrac{35}{c}=\cfrac{\quad \frac{1}{8}\quad }{\frac{8}{8}}\implies \cfrac{35}{c}=\cfrac{1}{8}\cdot \cfrac{8}{8} \\\\\\ \cfrac{35}{c}=\cfrac{1}{8}\implies 280=c[/tex]

Another order calls for 26 widgets. The widgets comes in boxes of 5. How many full boxes of 5 do you pull? How many single items do you still need?

Answers

divide 26 by 5

26 /5 = 5.2

 so 5 full boxes

5*5 = 25

26-25 = 1

 so 5 full boxes and 1 single widget

Final answer:

For an order of 26 widgets with each box containing 5 widgets, you would pull 5 full boxes and still need 1 more single widget.

Explanation:

To solve this problem, we need to find out how many full boxes of 5 widgets we can make from 26 widgets and how many single widgets we will have left. Whole number quantities, such as the number of widgets and boxes, are important here. First, we divide 26 by 5 to find out the number of full boxes. This gives us 5 full boxes with a remainder of 1, which means we have one widget left. So, we pull 5 full boxes and still need 1 more single widget.

Answers

=9 * 1000 / 3600
=9000 / 3600
=2.5m/s

I hope this helps you

Answer:

2.5 m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

we have given that Matty jogs 9 km/hr

we have to convert 9 km/hr to m/s

we know, 1 km= 1000 m

and 1 hr= 60 minutes and  1 minute= 60 seconds

which implies that 1 hr=60 x 60 = 3600 seconds

now, to convert km/hr into minute/second we have to multiply it by  1000/3600  or 5/18

i.e. 9×1000/3600= 5/2=2.5 m/s

A deep-sea diver is in search of coral reefs. He finds a beautiful one at an elevation of -120 4/7 feet. While taking pictures of the reef, he catches sight of a manta ray. He swims up 25 3/7 feet to check it out. What is the diver's new elevation?

Answers

To start, create an expression to represent the situation: -120 4/7 + 25 3/7
Since the diver goes up 25 3/7 from their current spot, you would add 25 3/7 to -120 4/7.
This expression would then simplify to -95 1/7 (first, you combine -120 and 25 since they have a fraction that share the same denominator, and then you combine -4/7 and 3/7). The diver's new elevation would be -95 1/7.

The position of the diver's new elevation will be negative 666 / 7.

What is Algebra?

Algebra is the study of abstract symbols, while logic is the manipulation of all those ideas.

The acronym PEMDAS stands for Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition, and Subtraction. This approach is used to answer the problem correctly and completely.

A remote ocean jumper is looking for coral reefs. He tracks down a wonderful one at a rise of - 120 ⁴/₇ feet. While taking photos of the reef, he sees a manta beam. He swims up 25 ³/₇ feet to look at it.

Convert the mixed fraction number into a fraction number. Then we have

- 120 ⁴/₇ = - 844 / 7

25 ³/₇ = 178 / 7

The position of the diver's new elevation will be given as,

⇒ - 844 / 7 + 178 / 7

⇒ (- 844 + 178) / 7

⇒ - 666/7

The position of the diver's new elevation will be negative 666 / 7.

A really bad carton of 18 eggs contains 9 spoiled eggs. an unsuspecting chef picks 6 eggs at random for his "mega-omelet surprise." find the probability that the number of unspoiled eggs among the 6 selected is

Answers

Final answer:

To find the probability that the number of unspoiled eggs among the 6 selected is X, we can use the hypergeometric probability formula. This formula is used when the sample drawn is without replacement from a finite population.

Explanation:

To find the probability that the number of unspoiled eggs among the 6 selected is X, we can use the hypergeometric probability formula. This formula is used when the sample drawn is without replacement from a finite population. In this case, we have 18 total eggs in the carton, with 9 spoiled eggs. So the probability that X unspoiled eggs are selected out of the 6 can be calculated as:

P(X) = (C(X,6) * C(9,6)) / C(18,6)

Where C(n,r) represents the combination of n things taken r at a time.

From 1980 to 1990, Lior’s weight increased by 25%. If his weight was k kilograms in 1990, what was it in 1980?

Answers

An increase of 25% is represented by the multiplier 1.00 + 0.25, or 1.25.
Then Lior's 1980 weight, mult. by 1.25, results in his 1990 weight, or k kg.

Let his 1980 weight be w.  Then 1.25w = k.  Divide both sides by 1.25 to obtain w, Lior's 1980 weight:

1.25 w = k
---------    ------- = (4/5)k, or 4k/5 (answer)
  1.25      1.25

Ththe weight of Lior in 1990 in terms of k is [tex]\frac{4}{5} k[/tex]

Let the weight of Lior in 1980 be "w"

If Lior's weight increased by 25%, his new weight was "k". This can be expressed as:

w + (25% of w) = k

w + (0.255w) = k

w + 0.15w = k

1.25w = k

Divide both sides by 1.25

[tex]\frac{1.25w}{1.25} =\frac{k}{1.25} \\w=\frac{k}{1.25} \\w=\frac{100k}{125} \\w=\frac{4}{5}k[/tex]

This shows that the weight of Lior in 1990 in terms of k is [tex]\frac{4}{5} k[/tex]

While going on a field trip, a busload of 54 students will have to be split up into three groups. two thirds will go to lunch first, and one third will go visit the exhibits. how many will go to lunch first?

Answers

*Given
Total number of students                                 - 54
Fraction of students going to lunch first           - 2/3
Fraction of students going to the exhibit first   - 1/3

*Solution
1. Since the students are grouped into 3, the total number of students must be divided into 3 to determine the number of students in each of the 3 groups.

                             54/3 = 18

Thus, there are 18 students per group. 

2. Two-thirds (2/3) of the total number of students will go to lunch first. Since the total number of students have already been divided into 3 groups, this simply means that 2 of the 3 groups will go to lunch first. Since each group has 18 students, 2 groups would have, 

                              18*2 = 36

Thus, 36 students will go to lunch first. 



During a certain week, a post office sold Rs.280 worth of 14-paisas stamps. How many of these stamps did they sell?

Answers

So basically ...

You convert the rupees in paisas. One rupee is equal to one hundred paisas, so ...

280 × 100 = 28,000

And then we divide,

28,000 ÷ 14 = 2000

The post office sold 2000 stamps!

Hope this helped! :)

The post office sold 2000.

To find out how many 14-paisa stamps the post office sold to make Rs.280, we need to follow a step-by-step solution.

Convert the total amount from rupees to paisas:Since the stamp's value is given in paisas.There are 100 paisas in 1 rupee.Rs.280 = 280 x 100 = 28000 paisas.The value of one stamp is 14 paisas.To find the number of stamps sold, we divide the total amount in paisas by the value of one stamp:

28000 paisas ÷ 14 paisas per stamp = 2000 stamps.

Answers

Final answer:

To solve the quadratic word problem, we set up the equation x - 8/x = 2 and simplify it to x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0. Using the quadratic formula, we find two possible values for x: -2 and 4.

Explanation:

To solve this quadratic word problem, we set up the equation: x - 8/x = 2. To simplify the equation, we multiply both sides by x to eliminate the denominator: x^2 - 8 = 2x. Rearranging the equation, we get x^2 - 2x - 8 = 0. To find the solutions, we can use the quadratic formula: x = (-b ± √(b^2 - 4ac)) / (2a). Substituting the values from our equation, we have x = (2 ± √(2^2 - 4(1)(-8))) / (2(1)). Solving the equation, we find two possible values for x: x = -2 or x = 4.
