The Lone Star Shipping Company charges $14 plus $2 per pound to ship an overnight package. Discount Shipping Company charges $20 plus $1.50 per pound to ship an overnight package. What is the point where these two companies will be the same amount and what does it mean?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

each company will earn $38 when they ship a 12-pound package

Step-by-step explanation:

you can solve this algebraically by setting up two equations:

let 'c' = charges per pound

Lone Star:  y = 2c + 14

Discount:  y = 1.5c + 20

now set each equation equal to the other to solve for 'c':

2c + 14 = 1.5c + 20

subtract 14 from each side to get:

2c = 1.5c + 6

subtract 1.5c from each side to get:

0.5c = 6

c = 6/0.5

c = 12

if you plug 12 in for 'c' in each equation you will get y = 38

(12,38) is the point where these two companies would each earn $38 for shipping a 12-pound package

How would you convert 12.5% to a fraction?

Answers

Answer:

12.5% as a fraction is written as 25/2

Step-by-step explanation:

step 1; write the given number as the numerator and place 1 in the denominator right below the decimal point followed by the numbers of zeros vital or require according.

step in this case 12.5 has one number after the decimal number so we place 10 in the denominator and remove the decimal point. this will make it 125/10.

step 2: then , this fraction can be simplified. 125/10=(125÷5)/(10÷5) =25/2

Needs to be answered quickly​

Answers

Answer:

only D as the correct answer

Step-by-step explanation:

The correct quadratic could not be B or C, because the negative sign in each indicates that the parabola opens down, which is not what we see here.

A is not appropriate either, because of the (x + 2)^2; that + sign tells us that the vertex lies 2 units to the left of the y-axis.

This leaves only D as the correct answer.

Answer:

7/8

you need a common denominator so multiply 3/4 by 2 to get 6/8 so now to have a common denominator then just add 1/8+6/8

Answer:

The answer is 7/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

First convert the 3/4 into eighths to get a common denominator. This will add everything together easier. Since 3/4 = 6/8, that means 1/8 + 6/8 = 1/8 + 3/4. The answer is 7/8. You can't simplify the answer any further.

Second box, fourth box, first box, and third box

Step-by-step explanation:

1st answer box because (13 - 3 / 2 * r) - (1 - r) = 13 - 3 / 2 * r - 1 + 2 / 2 * r thus being the first answer because of the "-" in the front so distribute the "-" with the 1 and - r

2nd answer box because (7r - 3 / 2) - (2 / 3 + 6r) = 7r - (9 / 6) - (4 / 6) - 6r same principle here.

3rd answer box because (6r + 7) + (13 + 7r) = 6r + 7 + 20 + 7r

4rd answer box because (- 8 - r) + (2r - 4) = - 8 - r + 2r - 4

Answer:

1. (6r+7)+(13+7r)=13r+20

2. (13 3/2)-(1-r)= 12-r

3. (-8-r)+(2r-4)= -12+r

4. (7r-3/2)-(2/3*6r)=r-13/6

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Move 7r next to 6r then you get 13r then just add 7+13 and you get 20 answer is 13r+20

2. Subtract 1 from 13 and you get 12 then you do the 3/2r and and the other r to it and you get 1/2r answer should be 12- 1/2r

3. Move then 4 next to the -8 and subtract you should get -12 then you solve -r+2r should get r and the answer is -12+r

4. Subtract 7r from 6r and you get r(1r) then you should subtract 3/2 and 2/3 and you get 13/6 and the answer is r-13/6

a+1, 2a-1 ,a+7 and 3a+4 are in ascending order. if the median is 27. find the value of a.​

Answers

Answer:

a = 16

Step-by-step explanation:

The median is the middle value of the data arranged in ascending order.

If there is no exact middle then the median is the average of the 2 values either side of the middle

a + 1 , 2a - 1 ,  a + 7 ,  3a + 4

                   ↑ middle

Then

[tex]\frac{2a-1+a+7}{2}[/tex] = 27 ( multiply both sides by 2 to clear the fraction )

3a + 6 = 54 ( subtract 6 from both sides )

3a = 48 ( divide both sides by 3 )

a = 16

for the equation y=ax^2 how does the sign of coefficient affect the graph of the curve

Answers

Answer:

The sign of the coefficient determines the direction of where the graph opens.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the quadratic equation, y = ax²:

The sign of the coefficient, a, affects the graph of the curve as it determines the direction of where the graph opens.

If the value of a is negative (a < 0), then the graph of the parabola opens downward. If the value of a is positive (a > 1), then the graph of the parabola opens upward.  

 

Please see the attached screenshots of the graphed equations (y = -x², and y = x²), to show the effects of changing the sign of a quadratic equation's coefficient.
