She uses the equation Syntax error from line 1 column 49 to line 1 column 73. Unexpected 'mathsize'. to find the number of pencils she bought. How many pencils did Paula buy?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

12 pencils

Step-by-step explanation:

let no. of pencils bought be x.

54 - 0.75x - 2.50 = 42.50

9 = 0.75x

x = 12

If a truck that is traveling at 15 mph speeds up to 45 mph in 10 seconds, what is the truck’s acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

3miles per hour^2

Step-by-step explanation:

given data

initial speed u= 15mph

final speed v=45mph

time taken t= 10 seconds

Step two:

Required

acceleration a=?

applying the first equation of motion

v=u+at

substitute we have

45=15+a*10

45=15+10a

make a subject of the formula

45-15=10a

30=10a

divide both sides  by 10

a=30/10

a=3miles per hour^2

Terrell wrote that 5 – 4.2 = 8. Which statement about his answer is true? CLEAR CHECK 8 is wrong because a number gets smaller, not larger, when you take 4.2 from it. 8 is right because 50 – 42 = 8. 8 is right because 4.2 + 8 = 5. 8 is wrong because you cannot subtract a decimal from a whole number.

Answers

Answer:

a) is wrong because a number gets smaller, not larger, when you take 4.2 from it

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]5 - 4.2 = 8[/tex]

Required

Determine which of the options is true

First, we need to solve for 5 - 4.2

[tex]5 - 4.2 = 0.8[/tex]

Compare this answer with Terell's answer (8)

We observe that: [tex]0.8 \neq 8[/tex]

This implies that; Terell is wrong

The two options that support the answer being wrong are (a) & (d)

Analyzing (a):

5 should get smaller when 4.2 is subtracted from it.

This isn't the case in Terell's solution.

Hence, (a) is true

Analyzing (d):

d is wrong because a decimal can be subtracted from a whole number

Hence, (a) answers the question

write 62/15 as a mixed number. ​

Answers

Answer:

4 & 2/15

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

[tex]4\frac{2}{15}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

A mixed number is a number that contains an integer with a proper fraction eg: [tex]1\frac{1}{2}[/tex]. The fraction that is given is improper and can be turned into a mixed number to simplify it.

First, we need to find how many times 15 goes into 62:

62÷15 = 4r2

This can then be written as the mixed fraction: [tex]4\frac{2}{15}[/tex].

I hope this is clear :)

What is the slope of a line that is perpendicular to the graphed line?

Answers

Answer:

The slope of the line perpendicular to the graphed line is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Slope of a Line

Suppose we know the line passes through points A(x1,y1) and B(x2,y2). The slope can be calculated with the equation:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

The graphed line passes through two visible points (0,4) and (8,0). Thus, its slope is:

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{0-4}{8-0}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle m=\frac{-4}{8}[/tex]

Simplifying:

[tex]\displaystyle m=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]

Two lines of slopes m1 and m2 are perpendicular is:

[tex]m_1.m_2=-1[/tex]

Suposse the given line has slope [tex]m_1=-\frac{1}{2}[/tex]. To find m2, we solve the above equation:

[tex]\displaystyle m_2=-\frac{1}{m_1}[/tex]

Substituting:

[tex]\displaystyle m_2=-\frac{1}{-\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]

Operating

[tex]m_2=2[/tex]

The slope of the line perpendicular to the graphed line is 2.

A new video game is expected to sell 120 copies the first hour at a local game store. After that, the sales will follow the function s(x) = 15(x - 1) where x is the number of hours. What is the
function that shows total sales, including the first hour? (1 point)
s(x) = 15(x - 1) - 120
s(x) = 120x - 15
Os(x) = 120 + 15(x - 1)
Os(x) = 120 - 15(x - 1)

Answers

Answer:

X=104

Step-by-step:

Sorry IF my answer is wrong

Answer:

Os(x) = 120 + 15(x - 1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The total sales will be the sum of the constant 120 copies that were sold in the first hour and the sales in the subsequent hours, represented by the function s(x) = 15(x-1).

Thus, add 120 to the function s(x).

(3,-2)

(0,0)
(24,-9)
(0,9)
(4,6)
(-12,18)

Answers

Answer: (24,-9)

(0,9)

(4,6)

Step-by-step explanation:

3x + 4y = 36

Using (3,-2) will be:

= 3(3) + 4(-2)

= 9 - 8 = 1

Using (1,7) will be

= 3(1) + 4(7)

= 3 + 28 = 31

Using (0,0) equals to 0

Using (24,-9) will be:

= 3(24) +4( -9)

= 72 - 36 = 36

Using (0,9) will be:

= 3(0) + 4(9)

= 0 + 36 = 36

Using (4,6) will be:

3(4) + 4(6)

= 12 + 24

= 36

Using (-12,18) will be:

= 3(-12) + 4(-18)

= -36 - 72

= -108

The correct options are (24,-9), (0,9 and (4,6)
