Nicolas sold 86 newspapers on Monday 79 on Tuesday and 68 on Wednesday and 83 on Friday how many newspapers did Nicholas sell on Thursday if he sold a total of 391 in five days?

Define a variable, write an equation, then solve.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

75

Step-by-step explanation:

86+79+68+83=316

391-316=75

Answer 2

Answer:

75 newspapers

Step-by-step explanation:

391 is equal to the combination of all the newspapers Nicholas sold over those 5 days. This can be written as an equation:

391 = 86 + 79 + 68 + 83 + x

x represents the number of newspapers Nicholas sold on Thursday.

Now let's solve for x:

First, combine like terms:

391 = 316 + x

now subtract 316 from both sides to isolate x:

391 - 316 = 316 - 316 + x

75 = x

Nicholas sold 75 newspapers on Thursday.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define inequality

-2x + 1 < 7

Step 2: Solve for x

Subtract 1 on both sides:          -2x < 6Divide both sides by -2:            x > -3

Here we see that any value greater than -3 would work as a solution of x.

Answer:

x>-3

Step-by-step explanation:

First, isolate the variable. So, move the 1 onto the other side.

Because signs change when moved to the other side, + becomes - .

Then, subtracte. 7-1=6.

DIvide both sides by -2.

-2x/-2 is x, and 6/-2 is -3.

So, x>-3

Find all polar coordinates of point P where P = (9,pi divided by 5).

Answers

Answer:

(-9, π/5 + (2n + 1)π)

Step-by-step explanation:

Adding any integer multiple of 2π to the direction argument will result in full-circle rotations, which are identities, so this family is equivalent to the give coordinates:

(9, π/5 + 2nπ), for any integer n

Also, multiplying the radius by -1 is a point reflection, equivalent to a half-turn rotation. Then add π to the direction for another half turn, and the result is another identity. So this too is equivalent to the given coordinates:

(-9, π/5 + (2n + 1)π), for any integer n

Step-by-step explanation:

x x 2 + x - 30 = 0          use the commutative property to reorder the terms

2x + x - 30 = 0             collect like terms

3x - 30 = 0                move constant to the right hand side and change its sign

3x = 30                      divide both sides of the equation by 3

How do I solve this problem and check all the solutions?

Answers

Answer:

x-5=sqrt(2x+5)

then square both sides

x2-10x+25=2x+5

x2-8x+20=0

rest is trivial

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x - [tex]\sqrt{2x+5}[/tex] = 5 ( subtract x from both sides )

- [tex]\sqrt{2x+5}[/tex] = 5 - x ( divide all terms by - 1 )

[tex]\sqrt{2x+5}[/tex] = x - 5 ( square both sides )

2x + 5 = (x - 5)²

2x + 5 = x² - 10x + 25 ( subtract 2x + 5 from both sides )

0 = x² - 12x + 20 ← in standard form

0 = (x - 2)(x - 10) ← in factored form

Equate each factor to zero and solve for x

x - 2 = 0 ⇒ x = 2

x - 10 = 0 ⇒ x = 10

As a check

Substitute these values into the left side of the equation and if equal to the right side then they are the solutions

x = 2

2 - [tex]\sqrt{4+5}[/tex] = 2 - [tex]\sqrt{9}[/tex] = 2 - 3 = - 1 ≠ 5

Thus x = 2 is an extraneous solution

x = 10

10 - [tex]\sqrt{20+5}[/tex] = 10 - [tex]\sqrt{25}[/tex] = 10 - 5 = 5 = right side

Thus x = 10 is the solution

At a high school football game, admission is $5 for students and $10 for non-students. There were 500 people at the first game, and the school made $4,000 from admissions. In this activity, you will find the number of students and non-students at the game.

Please write the two equations algebraically and then solve :)

Answers

Answer:x = 200 students

y = 300 non-students

Step-by-step explanation:

5x + 10y = 4000

x + y = 500

Set y = 500-x

5x + 10(500-x) = 4000

5x + 5000-10x

-5x + 5000 = 4000

-5x = -1000

x = 200 students

y = 300 non-students

Let's double checks

5(200) + 10(300)

1000 + 3000 = 4000

ΔABC is dilated by a scale factor of 0.5 with the origin as the center of dilation, resulting in the image ΔA′B′C′. If A = (2, 2), B = (4, 3), and C = (6, 3), what is the length of ?

Answers

Answer:

Fourth option is correct. The length of B'C' is 1 unit.

Step-by-step explanation:

The vertices of triangle ABC are A = (2, 2), B = (4, 3), and C = (6, 3).

Distance formula:

The length of BC is 2 units.

It is given that ΔABC is dilated by a scale factor of 0.5 with the origin as the center of dilation, resulting in the image ΔA′B′C′.

It means the ΔABC and ΔA′B′C′ are similar and corresponding sides of ΔA′B′C′ and ΔABC are proportional.

The scale factor is 0.5.

Therefore the length of B'C' is 1 unit and fourth option is correct

Answers

Answer:

Mrs. Jones has the better deal

Step-by-step explanation:

Samantha has $300

Mrs. Jones charges $80 per lesson and she requires three so we do 80* 3 (the lessons) which equals 240  

Mrs. Beliz charges $62 per lesson and requires 4 lessons so we do 62*4 (the lessons) which equals 248

240<240 (so Mrs. Jones has the better deal, she wants less money)

A $ 4.00 sales tax is charged for a $ 50.00 purchase . At this rate, what is the sales tax for a 1200.00 purchase

Answers

Sales tax for the purchase of $50 is $4

Therefore, x% of 50 = 4

(x%) 50 = 4

x/100 x 50 = 4

x/2 = 4

x = 4 x 2

x = 8

Therfore, there is a 8% sales tax on the purchase.

Sales tax on the purchase of $1200 = 8% of 1200

= 8/100 x 1200

= 8 x 12

= 96

A $96.00 sales tax is charged on a purchase of $1200.00

A little girl counts using the fingers of her left hand as follows: She starts by calling her thumb 1, the first finger 2, middle finder 3, ring finger 4, and little finger 5. Then she reverses direction, calling the ring finger 6, middle finger 7, first finger 8 and thumb 9, after which she calls her first finger 10 and so on. If she continues to count in this manner, on which finger will she stop?
a) What if the girl counts from 1 to 10?
b) What if the girl counts from 1 to 100?
c) What if the girl counts from 1 to 1000?

Answers

Answer:

(a) Index finger

(b) Ring finger

(c) Index finger

Step-by-step explanation:

Taking thumb as standard for the question.

Thumb series 1 , 9 , 17 ,25, 33......

general term for this

a(n) = 1 + (n-1)8

      = 1 + 8n -8

       = 8n -7

(a) For 1 to 10

     8n -7 = 10

     8n = 16+1 (remainder)

so the thumb is for 9 and the next is index finger.

10th = index finger.

(b) for 1 to 100

    8n - 7 = 100

      8n= 107

     107 = 13x 8 + 3(remainder)

so the third finger from thumb is Ring finger

100th = Ring finger

(c) 8n - 7 = 1000

   8n = 1007      

 1007= 125x8 +7 (remainder)

so the 7th finger next to thumb is Index finger

1000th = index finger
