When Hugo puts a book and a candle on a scale, the scale reads 8.705 lbs. When he removes the book, the scale reads 4.93 lbs. How much does the book weigh?

Answer:

x + (4x-20) = 180

by linear pair

therefore x= 70

Applying the definition of linear pair, the value of x is: D. 40.

Therefore:

x + (4x - 20°) = 180°

5x - 20 = 180

5x = 180 + 20

5x = 200

x = 40

Therefore, applying the definition of linear pair, the value of x is: D. 40.

To solve this, we need to turn this word problem into a system of linear equations. To do this, let's use x to stand for Mr. Fontana's age, and y to stand for his son's age.

The first sentence states that eight years ago, Mr. Fontana was six times as old as his son.

eight years ago = x - 8

Fontana was six times as old as his son = 6(y - 8). Remember, we need subtract 8 from his son's age, which is why I wrote it as 6(y - 8), and his father was 6 times his son's age 8 years ago, which is why I multiplied 6 by y - 8.

Now, putting this all together gives us our first equation:

x - 8 = 6(y - 8)

We can now rewrite this equation in standard form:

x - 8 = 6y - 48 ----->

x - 6y = -48 + 8 ----->

x - 6y = -40 <----- this is our first linear equation

To find our second, we need to turn the second sentence into an equation. It says that in 12 years, Mr. Fontana will be twice as old as his son:

x + 12 = 2(y + 12)

Now, we need to rewrite this equation in standard form:

x + 12 = 2y + 24 ----->

x - 2y = 24 - 12 ----->

x - 2y = 12 <----- this is our second linear equation. We now have our system of equations:

x - 6y = -40

x - 2y = 12

Now we can find the father's age (x) and his son's age (y). First, multiply the second equation by -1, giving us:

x - 6y = -40

-x + 2y = -12

Now we can add both equations together:

x - x - 6y + 2y = -40 + -12 ----->

-4y = -52

Solve for y, by dividing both sides of the equation by -4, giving us:

y = 13

So, now we know the son's age: 13

To find the father's age, replace y in either the first equation or the second equation, with 13. Let's use the first equation:

x - 6(13) = -40 ----->

x - 78 = -40 ----->

x = 78 - 40 ----->

x = 38

Therefore, Mr. Fontana is 38 years old and his son is 13 years old.

Answer:

a. about 8.3%

b. 2.172 m

Step-by-step explanation:

a. 1.81 * x = 1.96

x = 1.083

Percent increase is approximately 8.3%

b. 1.81 * 1.2 = x

x = 2.172 m

Answer: 1600m^2

Its a square so all sides are equal. So...

400m * 400m

= 1600m^2

Answer:

She will go to 729 games in 162 days.

Step-by-step explanation:

27÷6 = 4.5

4.5 · 162 = 729

Answer:

729 games in 162 days

Step-by-step explanation:

If she goes to 6 games in 27 days, then you divide 27 by 6, to get the unit rate.

27/6=4.5

Now that you have the unit rate, you multiply 162 by the unite rate, or 4.5, in this case.

162x4.5=729

15, 0 -> 12, 3  

3 - 0 = 3  

-------

12 - 15 = -3

3/ -3 = -1

Step-by-step explanation:

We use the power rule a^(x+y) = a^x * a^y:

3^(2x+1) = 3^(2x) * 3

We can re-write 3^(2x) as (3^x)^2, and we know that 3^x = a, so:

3a^2 is the final answer. There is not exact value, it's all just about re-writing.

[tex]3a^2 [/tex] is a required answer.

Answer:

By using power rule, we can write

[tex]a^2*3=3a^2 [/tex]

The equation that represents the function is [tex]y = 2(\frac 12)^x[/tex]  

The graph is an exponential function, and it passes through the points:

[tex](x,y) = (1,1)\ (0,2)[/tex]

An exponential function is represented with:

[tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

At (0,2), we have:

[tex]ab^0 = 2[/tex]

This gives

[tex]a(1) = 2[/tex]

[tex]a = 2[/tex]

At (1,1), we have:

[tex]ab^1 = 1[/tex]

[tex]ab = 1[/tex]

Substitute 2 for (a)

[tex]2b = 1[/tex]

Divide both sides by 2

[tex]b = \frac 12[/tex]

Substitute values for a and b in [tex]y = ab^x[/tex]

[tex]y = 2(\frac 12)^x[/tex]

Hence, the equation that represents the function is [tex]y = 2(\frac 12)^x[/tex]

The car overtakes the cyclist at a distance of 72 miles from the starting point.

,Speed is the ratio of distance travelled to time taken. It is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Let the car overtake the cyclist at distance d and time t.

For the car:

48 = d / t

d = 48t

For the cyclist:

16 = d / (t + 3)

d = 16t + 48

48t = 16t + 48

32t = 48

t = 1.5 hours

d = 48(1.5) = 72 miles

The car overtakes the cyclist at a distance of 72 miles from the starting point.
