Answer 1

Using proportions, it is found that:

a. The equations are:

1. 24x+28(5-x)=132.4. 24(5-x)+28x=132.

b. You would have saved $8 by switching the colors of the dining room and living room.

What is a proportion?

A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct(when both increase or both decrease) or inverse proportional(when one increases and the other decreases, or vice versa), can be built to find the desired measures in the problem, or equations to find these measures.

For item a, considering that 5 cans were bought, there are two options:

x cans of white paint and 5 - x cans of blue paint.5 - x cans of white paint and x cans of blue paint.

Hence the equations are given by:

1. 24x+28(5-x)=132.4. 24(5-x)+28x=132.

The solution for x is given by:

120 - 24x + 28x = 132

3x = 12

x = 4.

Considering the possible solution, of 4 cans of blue paint and 1 can of white paint.

Exchanging the colors, the price would be of:

4 x 24 + 1 x 28 = 124.

132 - 124 = $8.

You would have saved $8 by switching the colors of the dining room and living room.

You want to purchase a new bike that costs $142.68. To save for the bike, you mow your neighbor's yard for $40 each week. How much money will you have left over if you buy the bike after saving for 4 weeks?

Answers

The amount of money left after purchasing the bike is $17.32

How to calculate the amount of money left ?

The cost of the new bike is $142.68

I need to save for the new bike and i decided to mow the neighbour's yard

The money paid is $40, this will be done for 4 weeks

At the end of the four weeks, the money i will get can be calculated as follows

= 40 × 4

= 160

To calculate the money left, let's subtract the cost of the bike from 160

= 160 - 142.68

= 17.32

Hence the amount of money left after buying the bike is $17.32

how many solutions does the following equation have?

A-Infinite. If you distribute the 4 to the 2x+3 you get 8x+12-7=8x+5. This simplifies to 8x+5=8x+5 which means no matter what the value of x is, the two sides of the equation will be equal to each other.

x2 + 11x + 30 = 0, which number would have to be added to "complete the
square"?

Answers

Answer:

The number to add is (11/2)^2 = 121/4

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to know the number that will complete the square

We rewrite the equation as follows;

x^2 + 11x = -30

x^2 + 11x + (11/2)^2 = -30 + (11/2)^2

x^2 + 11x + 121/4 = -30 + 121/4

Given:
p: 20-5=5
q:40-6=14
P 9
Write the contrapositive in if-then form.
If 2 -5=5, then 4x -6=14.
If 4x--6=14, then 2x-5=5.
If 2x -- 5≠5, then 4x--6≠14.
If 4x - 6≠14, then 2x - 5≠5.

Answers

Answer:

We conclude that:

If 4x - 6≠4, then 2x–5≠5 is the contrapositive of a conditional statement if 2x -5=5, then 4x-6=14.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the contrapositive of a conditional statement of the form "If p then q" is termed as "If ~q then ~p".

In other words, it is symbolically represented as:

' ~q ~p is the contrapositive of p q '

For example, the contrapositive of "If there is a snow outside, then they cancel the event" is "If they do not cancel the event, then it would not be snow outside."

Given

p: 2x -5=5q: 4x-6=14

As the contrapositive of a conditional statement of the form "If p then q" is termed as "If ~q then ~p

Therefore, we conclude that:

If 4x - 6≠4, then 2x–5≠5 is the contrapositive of a conditional statement if 2x -5=5, then 4x-6=14.

There are 5280 feet in a mile and 60 minutes in an hour (needless to say). How fast is a car going 30 miles per hour traveling in feet per minute?

(Please help me)

Answers

Answer:

2640 feet in a minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the car is going 30 miles per hour, and there are 5280 feet in one mile, you would multiply 30 by 5280.

30 * 5280 = 158400

So 154800 feet = 30 miles.

Since you want to find out how fast a car going 30 miles per hour is traveling in feet per a minute, you would divide 154800 feet by 60, since there are 60 minutes in an hour.

154800 / 60 = 2640.

So 2640 feet in a minute.

If you want to check this, you can do 2640 * 60, which indeed equals 154800.

Hope this helps.

C: 42x - 8y - 5.3
D: 84x - 16y - 5.3

Answers

Answer:the answer is a

Step-by-step explanation:

The expression 2(14x - 3y + 28x + 12.2 - 5y - 17.5) is equivalent to the expression 84x - 16y -10.6 option (A) is correct.

What is an expression?

It is defined as the combination of constants and variables with mathematical operators.

We have an expression:

= 2(14x - 3y + 28x + 12.2 - 5y - 17.5)

= 28x - 6y + 56x + 24.4 - 10y - 35

Adding like terms

= 84x - 16y -10.6

Thus, the expression 2(14x - 3y + 28x + 12.2 - 5y - 17.5) is equivalent to the expression 84x - 16y -10.6 option (A) is correct.
