Bobby Joe and Billy ray went fishing at the local watering hole and caught a total of 51 fish. Billy Rat caught 17 fewer fish than Bobby Joe. Write an expression you can use to find out how many fish, f, each boy caught. How many fish did each boy catch? Bobby Joe caught ___ fish Billy Ray caught___ fish

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Bobby Joe caught 34 fishes

Billy Ray caught 17 fishes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of fish Bobby Joe caught = y

Let the number of Billy Ray caught = x

Total number of fish caught = 51 fishes

x + y = 51......... Equation 1

Billy Ray caught 17 fewer fish than Bobby Joe.

y = x - 17

Write an expression you can use to find out how many fish, f, each boy caught.

Substitute x - 17 for y in Equation 1

x + y = 51......... Equation 1

x + (x - 17) = 51

x + x - 17 = 51

2x = 51 - 17

2x = 34

x = 34/2

x = 17

Hence, Bobby Joe caught 17 fishes

x + y = 51

17 + y = 51

y = 51 - 17

y = 34

Hence, Billy ray caught 34 fishes

A department store purchases screen-printed t-shirts at a cost of $5 per shirt. They mark up the price 150% (making the selling price 250% of the store's purchase price) and put them on the sales floor. Every month that a t-shirt doesn't sell, the store reduces the selling price by 25%.Which expression shows the selling price after one monthly price reduction?

Answers

Answer:

Kindly check explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Cost price = $5 per T - shirt

Markup = 150% or cost price

Every month which shirt doesn't sell, selling price drops by 25%

Selling price of Tshirt = (150% * $5) = $7.5

Price after 1 month = (100% - 25%) * $7.5 = $5.625

Hence, the equation could be expressed as :

Price after one month:

(1.5 * $5) - 0.75 * (1.5 * $5)

7.5 - 0.75(7.5)

Charlene Langhorst's gross weekly salary is $680. Her federal withholding is $101.62. Her employer takes out the standard rates for FICA (Social Security/Medicare). The state tax is 1.5% of gross pay. Each week she pays $32.40 for medical insurance. What are Charlene's total weekly deductions? *

Answers

Answer:

Total deductions =  $196.24

Step-by-step explanation:

Gross weekly salary = $680

federal holding = $101.62

FICA standard rate = 7.65% of gross earnings

= 7.65% of $680 = 0.0765 × 680 = $52.02

∴ FICA deductions = $52.02

state tax = 1.5% of gross pay = 1.5% of $680

state tax = 0.015 × 680 = $10.2

∴ state tax = $10.2

Medical insurance = $32.40

Total Deductions = 101.62 + 52.02 + 10.2 + 32.40 = $196.24

Step-by-step explanation:

If you go to desmos graphing calculator add put the equations in you can see they never interesct

Answer:

B) distinct parallel lines

Step-by-step explanation:

First, place both equations in slope-intercept form:

y + 6 = [tex]-\frac{1}{3}[/tex] (x - 15)

y + 6 = -1/3x + 5

y = -1/3x - 1

2x + 6y = 24

6y = -2x + 24

y = -2/6x + 4

y = -1/3x + 4

Because they have the same slope and different y-intercepts, they are parallel.

So, following the order of operations, you do the parentheses first so: 45+15(5)

Then, still following the order of operations, you'd multiply from left to right. So: 45+75

The number line is shaded from the circle to positive 5. A number line going from negative 5 to positive 5. An open circle appears between negative 1 and negative 2. The number line is shaded from the circle to positive 5.

Answers

Given:

The inequality is

[tex]5.25-b\geq 6.5[/tex]

To find:

The solution of the given inequality on the number line.

Solution:

We have,

[tex]5.25-b\geq 6.5[/tex]

Subtract 5.25 from both sides.

[tex]5.25-b-5.25\geq 6.5-5.25[/tex]

[tex]-b\geq 1.25[/tex]

Multiply both sides by -1 and change the sign of inequality.

[tex]b\leq -1.25[/tex]

The value of b always less than or equal to -1.25. Since -1.25 included in the solution set, therefore there is a solid circle on -1.25.

-1.25 lies between -2 and -1. It means the solid circle lies between -1 and -2.

[tex]b\leq -1.25[/tex], so the number line is shaded from the circle to negative 5.

A number line going from negative 5 to positive 5 is the required solution if a solid circle appears between negative 1 and negative 2. The number line is shaded from the circle to negative 5.

Therefore, the correct option is A.

y = bx(x - a)(x-a)(x + b)(x - b)
In the equation above, a and b are positive
constants and a ≠ b. How many distinct x-intercepts
does the graph of the equation in the xy-plane have?

Answers

The x-intercepts of an equation are simply the zeros of the equation

The equation [tex]\mathbf{y = bx(x - a)(x -a)(x + b)(x - b)}[/tex] has 4 distinct x-intercepts

The equation is given as:

[tex]\mathbf{y = bx(x - a)(x -a)(x + b)(x - b)}[/tex]

Set the equation to 0; i.e. calculate the zeros

[tex]\mathbf{bx(x - a)(x -a)(x + b)(x - b) = 0}[/tex]

Divide both sides by constant b

[tex]\mathbf{x(x - a)(x -a)(x + b)(x - b) = 0}[/tex]

Split the above equation, as follows

[tex]\mathbf{x= 0\ or\ x - a = 0\ or\ x -a = 0\ or\ x + b = 0\ or\ x - b = 0}[/tex]

Solve for x in each of the equation

[tex]\mathbf{x= 0\ or\ x = a\ or\ x = a\ or\ x= -b\ or\ x = b}[/tex]

Remove repeated solutions

[tex]\mathbf{x= 0\ or\ x = a\ or\ x= -b\ or\ x = b}[/tex]

The count of solutions above is 4

Hence, the equation has 4 distinct x-intercepts

find value of x and y

Answers

Given :

There is a quadrilateral.Two sides of the quadrilateral are parallel .Four angles are 96° , 2x° , 94° & ( 3y + 44 )°.

To Find :-

The value of x & y .

Solution :-

Here , 96° & 2x° are co - interior angles and we know that the sum of co - Interior angles is 180°.

⇒ 96° + 2x = 180° .

⇒ 2x = 180° - 96° .

⇒ 2x = 84° .

⇒ x = [tex]\red{\sf \dfrac{84^{\circ}}{2}}[/tex]

[tex]\bf\longmapsto x = 42^{\circ}[/tex]

Hence value of x is 42° .

Similarly , 94° & ( 3y + 44) ° are co- interior angles

⇒ 94° + ( 3y + 44)° = 180° .

⇒ ( 3y + 44 )° = 180° - 94° .

⇒ 3y + 44° = 86°.

⇒ 3y = 86° - 44° .

⇒ 3y = 42° .

⇒ y = [tex]\sf \red{\dfrac{42^{\circ}}{3}}[/tex]

[tex]\bf\longmapsto y = 14^{\circ}[/tex]

Hence the value of y is 14°.

I cannot figure out how to solve this, we did not cover it in class today and it is on tonights homework.

Answers

Answer:

x = 32.5

y = 65

Step-by-step explanation:

y = 65 degrees

65 and y are the base angles in an isosceles triangle ( single lines)  so they are equal

y+z = 180 since they form a straight line

65+z = 180

z = 180-65

z = 115

The second triangle is also an isosceles triangle so the base angles are the same as shown by x

180 = x+x+z

180 =2x+ 115

65 = 2x

Divide by 2

x = 32.5

From graph, points (2, 0) and (0, -2).

slope m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

              = (-2 - 0) / (0 - 2)

              = -2 / -2

              = 1

y-intercept using anyone of the above points and m:
