Mrs.Watt traveled between two cities that were 750 km apart. On the return trip, she increased her average rate of travel by 20 km/hr and made the trip in 10 hours less time. Find her rate of travel in each direction.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Let s = his speed on the outbound trip

Then s + 20 = his speed on the return trip

Let t = his travel time on the outbound trip

Then t - 10 = his travel time for the return trip

Given: d = 750

Since distance = speed x time, for the two trips we have

750 = s*t

750 = (s+20)(t-10)

Solve for t in the 1st equation, substitute in the 2nd:

750 = (s+20)(750/s-10)

Solve for s:

750 = 750 - 10s + 15000/s - 200

Simplify:

s^2 + 20s - 1500 = 0

Factor:

(s+50)(s-30) = 0

Take the positive solution, s = 30

So the rates are 30 kph and 50 kph

3) 6 times ?= 36x
?= 6x so we get: 6(6x___)

4) 6 times?= -60

the sum of the digits of a two - digit number is 14 . if the digits are reversed, the number increases by 36 . find the number .​

Answers

༆ Answer :- 59༆ Solution :-

Let the tens digit of the number be x .

ones digit = ( 14 - x ) ( since the sum of the 2 digits is 14 )

Two - Digit number = 10 ( tens digit ) + ones digit

Required number ,

10x + ( 14 - x ) 10x - x + 14 9x + 14

Reversed number ,

10 ( 14 - x ) + x 140 - 10x + x 140 - 9x

Given ,

Reversed number - Required number = 36

✯ 140 - 9x - ( 9x + 14 ) = 36

✯ 140 - 9x - 9x - 14 = 36

✯ 126 - 18x = 36

✯ 126 - 36 = 18x

✯ 18x = 90

✯ x = 5

Ten digits , x = 5 Ones digits = ( 14 - x ) = 14 - 5 = 9

Thus , Required number is 10 × 5 + 9 = 59

Given -

the sum of the digits of a two - digit number is 14.

i.e, if two numbers are x and y then, x + y = 14

if the digits are reversed, the number increases by 36

i.e, if 10y + x then 10y + x = 10x + y + 36.

To find -

the number

Concept -

If a, b and c are real number (and if a and b both are not equal to 0) then ax+by=c is called a linear equation in two variables (The two variables are x and y)

The numbers a and b are called the coefficient of the equation ax+by=c. The number r is called the constant of the equation ax+by = c

PS - first we will construct two linear equations and then we'll find the number.

Solution -

Let, x + y = 14

➜ y = 14 - x ----(i)

and we'll solve 10y + x = 10x + y + 36 further,

➜ 10y + x = 10x + y + 36

➜ 10y - y = 10x - x + 36

➜ 9y = 9x + 36

➜ 9x - 9y = -36

➜ 9(x - y) = -36

➜ x - y = -4 ----(ii)

Substituting the value of y (in equation (i)) in equation (ii),

➜ x - (14 - x) = -4

➜ x - 14 + x = -4

➜ 2x = -4 + 14

➜ 2x = 10

➜ x = 10/2

x = 5

Now to find the value of y we will substitute the value of x in equation (i),

➜ y = 14 - 5

y = 9

Therefore, the number is {10(5)+9,i.e,} 59.

A total of 590 tickets were sold for the school play. They were either adult tickets or student tickets. There were 60 fewer student tickets sold than adult tickets. How many adult tickets were sold?

Answers

Answer:

  325 adult tickets

Step-by-step explanation:

This "sum and difference" problem can be solved by assigning a single variable to the quantity you want to know. Let 'a' represent the number of adult tickets sold. Then (a-60) is the number of student tickets sold, and the total number sold is ...

  a +(a -60) = 590

  2a = 590 +60

  a = 650/2 = 325

There were 325 adult tickets sold.

__

Check

325-60 = 265 student tickets were sold, for a total of 325+265 = 590.

_____

Additional comment

You may have noticed that the larger number of tickets (number of adult tickets) was found to be the average of the two numbers given in the problem statement. That will generally be the case for a "sum and difference" problem.

y=x2 - 4x + 7 is shown by graph A.

y=X+5 is shown by graph C.

y=-3x - 6 is shown by graph B.

Step-by-step explanation:

In y=-x2 - 8x – 18, the coefficient of x2 is less than 0.So the graph only has a maximum value.Thefore , the graph is point upward.

In y=x2 - 4x + 7, coefficient of x2 is greater than 0.

So the graph has a minimum point and is pointed downward.

for y =x + 5, the gradient is positive.so it is graph C.There is another way to find out too but this is quicker for now.

for y = -3x - 6, the gradient is negative ,-3.So it is the graph B.

In the sample, there are 4 more students with brown hair and blue eyes than blond hair and blue eyes.
How many total students have black hair?

Answers

Answer:   20

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

Explanation:

x = total number of students surveyed

According to the table, 0.075 of the students (aka 7.5%) have blond hair and blue eyes. This means 0.075x is the number of blond hair blue eye people.

Also, 0.125x is the number of brown hair blue eye people for similar reasoning as the previous paragraph.

We're told that "There are 4 more students with brown hair and blue eyes than blond hair and blue eyes"

So,

(BrownHair_BlueEyes) = (BlondHair_BlueEyes) + 4

0.125x = (0.075x) + 4

0.125x-0.075x = 4

0.05x = 4

x = 4/0.05

x = 80

There are 80 students surveyed.

Of those eighty students,  0.075x = 0.075*80 = 6 have blond hair and blue eyes; while 0.125x = 0.125*80 = 10 have brown hair and blue eyes. Notice how this is four more than the blond person count with blue eyes. This confirms we have the correct sample size.

The last step is to calculate how many of the students have black hair based on the sample size we just found.

The table shows 25% = 0.250 of the students have black hair, so 0.25x = 0.25*80 = 20 students have black hair

Find the values of x and y. Write your answers in the simplest form.

Answers

Answer: [tex]x=18[/tex] ; [tex]y=6\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

You can write two expressions that are in terms of 'x' and 'y'. This is a right triangle, so Pythagorean's theorem can be used. We can also use the angle to find the sine of 30 degrees.

Pythagorean's Theorem:

The values 'a' and 'b' are the two shorter sides of the triangle, while the value 'c' is the longest side of the triangle; the hypotenuse.

[tex]a^2+b^2=c^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2+y^2=(12\sqrt{3} )^2[/tex]

[tex]x^2+y^2=12^2*\sqrt{3} ^2=432[/tex]

Sine of the Angle:

Sine is defined to be the opposite side divided by the hypotenuse. Let's take the sine of 30 degrees:

[tex]sin(\alpha )=opposite/hypotenuse[/tex]

[tex]sin(30)=y/12\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]\frac{1}{2} =y/12\sqrt{3}[/tex]

[tex]y=6\sqrt{3}[/tex]

Plug this value of 'y' into the first expression derived from Pythagorean's theorem:

[tex]x^2+y^2=432[/tex]

[tex]x^2+(6\sqrt{3} )^2=432[/tex]

[tex]x^2+108=432[/tex]

[tex]x^2=432-108=324[/tex]

[tex]x=\sqrt{324}[/tex]

[tex]x=18[/tex]

Use this value of 'x' to solve for 'y' in the expression from Pythagorean's theorem:

[tex](\sqrt{324})^2+y^2=432[/tex]

[tex]324+y^2=432[/tex]

[tex]y^2=432-324=108[/tex]

You only need to look at the left triangle

Which of the options follows Pythagoras's rule?

Let's try the options until we get the right one (in no particular order)

If we try: 3) x = 4 y = [tex]29\sqrt{2}[/tex]...

[tex]\sqrt{116^2 - 16^2} = 20\sqrt{3} \neq 10[/tex]

If we try: 2) x = 16 y = 29...

Answer:

1. 83 square inches

2. 7.065 square centimeters

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!

In order to find the area of the shaded region of the rectangle, you need to first find the area of the whole shape

The dimensions are 10 and 16 and if you multiply them together, you get 160

This means that the area of the whole shape is 160

Now they are asking for the area of the shaded shape, so we need to find the area of the white rectangle, and then subtract that area from 160

The dimensions for the white rectangle is 11 and 7

This means that the area of the white rectangle is 77

Now what we need to do is subtract 77 from 160

160-77=83

So the area of the shaded region is 83 square inches

Now to get to the second question

We need to find the area of the quarter circle

In order to find this, we need to first find the area of the whole circle, then divide that by 2

They gave us the radius already which makes it a lot easier (the radiues is 3)

All we need to do is input 3 into the formula for the area of a circle

[tex]\pi r^2[/tex]

In this case, since they are telling us to use 3.14 as pi, the equation would look like this:

[tex]3.14*3^2[/tex]

This can be simplified to [tex]3.14*9[/tex] which is equal to 28.26

So this is the area of the whole circle

But the question is asking for the area of a quarter of that circle

So what we need to do is divide 28.26 by 4 which is 7.065

So the area of the quarter circle is 7.065 square centimeters

So, after concluding the first week she'll get $ (x+145).

likewise, after completing the second week she'll get $ (x + 145) + $ 145.
