Marla noticed that her friend Ron had three times as many pieces of candy as she did. She told him, "If you give me seven pieces of your candy, we'll have exactly the same number of pieces." Ron responded, "I didn't know that until you mentioned it. But I'll make you a deal: If you can show me how to solve this puzzle using algebra, I'll give you the seven pieces. "One minute later, Ron was shocked to see that Marla had solved it perfectly. Can you do the same?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

This question seems to be asking for the work, so I put it below.

Anyhow, Marla had 3.5 candies, and Ron had 10.5.

Step-by-step explanation:

x = 3x - 7  (lets set this as "a")   { a = 3x - 7}

x + 7 = 3x -7 + 7

x + 7 = 3x

( x + 7 ) / 3 = 3/3x

( x + 7 ) / 3 = x     =    *(same as "a") {a}

( x + 7 ) / 3 = 3x - 7

( x + 7 ) / 3 * 3 = ( 3x - 7 ) * 3

x + 7 = 9x - 21

x - x + 7 = 9x - x - 21

7 = 8x - 21

7 + 21 = 8x - 21 + 21

28 = 8x

28 / 8 = 8/8x

3.5 = x

We can plug this back into the original equation and find that it is correct because:

x = 3x - 7

x = 3.5  =====

3.5 = 3( 3.5 ) - 7

3.5 = 10.5 - 7

3.5 = 3.5

Answer 2

Answer:

Marla has 7 and Ron has 21

Step-by-step explanation:

lets take

no. of candies Marla has as "x"

and no. of  candies Ron has will be "3x"

Marla says if Ron gives her seven candies, they will have the same no. of candies

so your equation will be -

x + 7 = 3x - 7 (as Marla gets the candy, Ron loses the candy)

3x - x = 7 + 7

2x = 14

∴x = 7

and 3x = 3 x 7 = 21

A rocket is launched from the top of a 76-foot cliff with an initial velocity of 135 ft/s. a. Substitute the values into the vertical motion formula h = –16t2 + vt + c. Let h = 0. b. Use the quadratic formula to find out how long the rocket will take to hit the ground after it is launched. Round to the nearest tenth of a second.


A. 0 = –16t2 + 135t + 76; 0.5 s

B. 0 = –16t2 + 76t + 135; 9 s

C. 0 = –16t2 + 76t + 135; 0.5 s

D. 0 = –16t2 + 135t + 76; 9 s

Answers

Answer:

The answer is 2.)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given initial velocity=135 ft/s

& cliff=76 foot

Given quadratic equation

⇒                      (let h=0 it is given)

⇒  

⇒  

⇒    t=8.96≈9 s (the other root is negative)

Hence, rocket will take 9 s to hit the ground after launched.

Answer:  Choice D

0 = 16t^2 + 135t + 76;  9 s

==============================================

Explanation:

The equation we start with is

[tex]h = -16t^2 + vt + c\\\\[/tex]

where v is the starting or initial velocity, and c is the starting height.

We're told that v = 135 and c = 76

We let h = 0 to indicate when the object hits the ground, aka the height is 0 ft.

That means the equation updates to [tex]0 = -16t^2 + 135t + 76\\\\[/tex]

Based on that alone, the answer is between A or D

-------------------

We'll use the quadratic formula to solve for t

We have

a = -16b = 135c = 76

So,

[tex]t = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}\\\\t = \frac{-135 \pm \sqrt{135^2 - 4(-16)(76)}}{2(-16)}\\\\t = \frac{-135 \pm \sqrt{23,089}}{-32}\\\\t \approx \frac{-135 \pm 151.9506}{-32}\\\\t \approx \frac{-135 + 151.9506}{-32} \ \text{ or } \ t \approx \frac{-135 - 151.9506}{-32}\\\\t \approx \frac{16.9506}{-32} \ \text{ or } \ t \approx \frac{-286.9506}{-32}\\\\t \approx -0.52971 \ \text{ or } \ t \approx 8.96721\\\\[/tex]

We ignore the negative t value because a negative time duration makes no sense.

The only practical solution here is roughly 8.96721 which rounds to 9.0 or simply 9 when we round to the nearest tenth (one decimal place).

In short, the object will hit the ground at the 9 second mark roughly. Or put another way: the object is in the air for about 9 seconds.

From this, we can see that the final answer is choice D.

All interior angles within a triangle adds up to 180°:

∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°

[tex]A+(4A-21)+(5A+1)=180\\\\A+4A+5A-21+1=180\\\\10A=180+21-1\\\\10A=200\\\\A=20\°[/tex]

Substitute in the value of ∠A into the other equations:

∠B = 4 · ∠A - 21° = 4(20°) - 21° = 80° - 21° = 59°

∠C = 5 · ∠A + 1° = 5(20°) + 1° = 100° + 1° = 101°

The diagram above shows a plan for a park. ABCD is a rectangle.
APB and DQC are semicircles centred at X and Y.
Given AB = 7 cm and AC = 25 cm.
Calculate the perimeter of the park in cm.​

Answers

Answer:

Perimeter of the park = 70 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Perimeter of the park = perimeter of the 2 semicircles + 2(length of the rectangle)

Perimeter = 2πr + 2(BC)

✔️Perimeter of the 2 semicircles = 2πr

Where,

radius (r) = ½(AB) = ½(7)

r = 3.5 cm

Perimeter = 2*π*3.5 = 7*π

Perimeter of the two semicircles = 21.9911486 ≈ 22 cm

✔️Find BC using Pythagorean theorem:

Thus,

BC = √(AC² - AB²)

AC = 25

AB = 7

BC = √(25² - 7²) = √576

BC = 24

✔️Perimeter of the park = perimeter of the 2 semicircles + 2(length of the rectangle)

Perimeter of the park = 22 + 2(24)

= 22 + 48

= 70 cm
