Alex has some marbles.
Billie has three times as many marbles are Alex.
Chris has 9 fewer marbles than Billie.
In total they have 68 marbles.
How many marbles does Alex have?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

11 marbles

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = no. of marbles-Alex

3x = no. of marbles-Billie

3x - 9 = no. of marbles-Chris

x + 3x + 3x - 9 = 68

7x - 9 = 68

7x = 77

x = 11

Answer 2

Alex will have 11 marbles out of a total of 68 marbles.

What is an expression?

The mathematical expression combines numerical variables and operations denoted by addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division signs.

Mathematical symbols can be used to represent numbers (constants), variables, operations, functions, brackets, punctuation, and grouping. They can also denote the logical syntax's operation order and other properties.

Alex has some marbles. Billie has three times as many marbles are Alex.

Chris has 9 fewer marbles than Billie.

In total, they have 68 marbles.

Let x = no. of marbles-Alex

3x = no. of marbles-Billie

3x - 9 = no. of marbles-Chris

The number of marbles will be calculated as,

x + 3x + 3x - 9 = 68

7x - 9 = 68

7x = 77

Answers

The simplified value of x is 44 / 15 or 7 / 5 and value of y is -2

What is simplification?

Simply or simplification is reducing the expression/fraction/problem in a simpler form. It makes the problem easy with calculations and solving.

Given that, simply the following

a) 2(y-1)/3-3(y-2)/4=1

b) 3x=44/5=2x+6

1) 2(y-1) / 3 - 3(y-2) / 4 = 1

Multiplying by 12 to both sides,

8(y-1) - 9(y-2) = 12

8y-8 - 9y+18 = 12

-y + 10 = 12

y = -2

2) 3x = 44 / 5 = 2x+6

3x = 44 / 5

Multiplying by 5 to both sides,

15x = 44

x = 44 / 15

or,

44 / 5 = 2x + 6

Multiplying by 5 to both sides,

44 = 10x + 30

14 = 10x

x = 7 / 5

Hence, the simplified value of x is 44 / 15 or 7 / 5 and value of y is -2

At the beginning of the year, a blogger has 150 subscribers. Since then, the number of subscribers to her blog has been doubling every 6 months, thanks to some successful appearances on television.

1) by what factor is the number of subscribers increasing every month?

2) write an equation that represents the number of subscribers (s) in terms of m months since the beginning of the year( when she had 150 subscribers)

Answers

The number of subscriber is increasing by factor 1,12 every month. The number of subscribers m months since the beginning of the year can expressed by the growth model equation S(m) = 150 . e^(0.12m)

The problem can be solved using exponential growth model.

1) The relation between growth rate and doubling time is given by:

doubling time = 70 / growth rate

In this case, doubling time = 6 months.

Hence,

growth rate = 70/6 = 11.67% = 0.1167 ≈ 0.12

Growth factor is defined as:

Growth factor = 1 + growth rate

                       = 1 + 0.12 = 1,12

2) The growth model of the number of subscribers is given by:

S(m) = So . e^(r.m)

Where:

S(m) = number of subscriber after m months

So= initial number of subscriber

r = growth rate

t = time period

Substitute So = 150 and r = 0.12

S(m) = 150 . e^(0.12m)

A lawn sprinkler can spray up to 20 feet. If it sprays in a circular pattern, what is the approximate area in square feet watered by the sprinkler?

Answers

Answer:

1256.64 square feet

Step-by-step explanation:

In this situation, 20 feet is the radius of the circle that is sprayed.

Use the area formula, A = [tex]\pi[/tex]

Plug in 20 as the radius and solve:

A = [tex]\pi[/tex]r²

A = [tex]\pi[/tex](20)²

A = 400[tex]\pi[/tex]

This is approximately equivalent to 1256.64

So, the approximate area watered by the sprinkler is 1256.64 square feet

A line intersects the points (0,-4) and (1,2) what is the slope intercept equation for this line?

Answers

Answer:

[tex]y=6x-4[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

First we have to know how to write a equation in Slope-Intercept Form!

Slope-Intercept Form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

where y = y axis, m = slope, x = x intercept and b = y-intercept

Now start by solving the slope

To find the Slope, you must find two points

Two points will be: [tex](0,-4)[/tex] and [tex](1,2)[/tex]

Then use the Slope-Formula to identify the slope

[tex]m=slope[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{2--4}{1-0}[/tex]

[tex]m=\frac{6}{1}[/tex]

[tex]m=6[/tex]

The Slope is 6

The y-intercept is already given by the point (0, -4)

Note: (this goes to this situation because the point has a 0 of x intercept)

How to prove triangle congruency postulate?

We are given the coordinates of Triangles ABC and DEF as;

A(5, 3), B(7, 7), C(9, 4)

D(-8, 6), E(-12, 8), F(-9, 10)

The formula for distance between two coordinates is;

Distance = √[(y₂ - y₁)² + (x₂ - x₁)²]

Thus;

AB = √[(7 - 3)² + (7 - 5)²]

AB = √20

AB = 2√5

Similarly;

BC = √[(4 - 7)² + (9 - 7)²]

BC = √13

AC = √[(4 - 3)² + (9 - 5)²]

AC = √17

Likewise;

DE = √[(8 - 6)² + (-12 + 8)²]

DE = √20

DE = 2√5

Similarly;

EF = √[(10 - 8)² + (-9 + 12)²]

EF = √13

DF = √[(10 - 6)² + (-9 + 8)²]

DF = √17

Since the corresponding sides of the two triangles are equal and as such they can be said to congruent by SSS Congruency.

Priscilla has 4.3*10^8 strands of hair on her head. Diego has 8.7*10^5 strands of hair on his head. How many more strands of hair does Priscilla have than Diego? Express your answer in scientific notation.

Answers

Answer:  4.2913 * 10^8

====================================================

Work Shown:

4.3*10^8 = 4.3 * 10^(3+5)

4.3*10^8 = 4.3 * 10^3*10^5

4.3*10^8 = 4.3*1000*10^5

4.3*10^8 = 4300*10^5

Priscilla has 4300*10^5 strands of hair while Diego has 8.7 * 10^5 strands. Subtract the values out front: 4300-8.7 = 4291.3

Then tack on the "*10^5" portion to get 4291.3*10^5

The difference in the number of strands is 4291.3*10^5

Convert this to scientific notation to get the final answer.

4291.3*10^5 = (4291.3)*10^5

4291.3*10^5 = (4.2913 * 1000)*10^5

4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 1000*10^5

4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 10^3*10^5

4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 10^(3+5)

4291.3*10^5 = 4.2913 * 10^8

Note: The number 4.2913 * 10^8 expands out to 429,130,000 which is a little over 429 million.

Mr. Gutierrez had $100 to purchase candy for his students that completed their work. He

ranchers cost $3.25, and each bag of assorted chocolate cost $2.10. How much money
did Mr. Gutierrez have left over after these purchases?

Answers

Answer:

$21.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Mr. Gutierrez had $100 to purchase candy for his students that completed their work.

He bought 8 bags of jolly ranchers

Each bag of jolly ranchers cost $3.25.

Hence, the cost of 8 bags of jolly ranchers = 8 × $3.25

= $26

He also bought 25 bags of assorted chocolate and each bag of assorted chocolate cost $2.10.

Hence, the cost of 25 bags of assorted chocolates = 25 × $2.10

= $52.5

Therefore, the amount of money Mr. Gutierrez has left over after these purchases is calculated as:

Total amount - Sum of ( Cost of 8 bags of jolly ranchers + 25 bags of assorted chocolates)

= $100 - ( $26 + $52.5)

= $100 - $78.50

= $21.50

O The variance of the error term is the same for all values of x.
O The values of the error term are independent.
O All are required assumptions about the error term.

Answers

All are required assumptions about the error term.

In regression analysis, there are several assumptions that need to be met regarding the error term :

The expected value of the error term is zero: It is the assumption that the mean of the error term is zero, which means that on average, the predicted values of the dependent variable will be equal to the true values of the dependent variable.The variance of the error term is the same for all values of x: It is the assumption that the spread of the error term is constant across all levels of the independent variable.The values of the error term are independent: It is the assumption that there is no relationship between the error term at different levels of the independent variable.All three assumptions are required for valid regression analysis, and any violation of these assumptions can lead to biased or inefficient estimates of the model parameters.
