At Cascadia College, students need to take a 100 level Math and English courses plus an optional Philosophy course. In any quarter, the college needs to make available 4 less English sections than Math sections. In any quarter student demand for the optional Philosophy course is half as many sections as English sections. Available classrooms limit the total sections of all three courses to 44
Given these constraints how many sections of each course should the college make available each quarter to meet demand?
Math sections =
English sections =
Philosophy sections =

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Math sections = 20

English sections = 16

Philosophy sections = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

This question can be solved using a system of equations.

I am going to say that:

x is the number of Math sections.

y is the number of English sections.

z is the number of Philosophy sections.

Available classrooms limit the total sections of all three courses to 44.

This means that [tex]x + y + z = 44[/tex]

4 less English sections than Math sections.

This means that [tex]y = x - 4[/tex]

In any quarter student demand for the optional Philosophy course is half as many sections as English sections.

This means that [tex]z = \frac{y}{2} = \frac{x - 4}{2}[/tex]

Finding the number of Math sections:

We have both y and z as functions of x. So

[tex]x + y + z = 44[/tex]

[tex]x + x - 4 + \frac{x-4}{2} = 44[/tex]

[tex]2x + \frac{x-4}{2} = 48[/tex]

Multiplying everything by 2

[tex]4x + x - 4 = 96[/tex]

[tex]5x = 100[/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{100}{5}[/tex]

[tex]x = 20[/tex]

Then

[tex]y = x - 4 = 20 - 4 = 16[/tex]

[tex]z = \frac{y}{2} = \frac{16}{2} = 8[/tex]. So

Math sections = 20

English sections = 16

Philosophy sections = 8

Find the slope-intercept form of the equation of the line which contains the points (-2, 5) and (3, 20).

Answers

Answer:

y = 3x - 11

Step-by-step explanation:

First, use the y2-y1/x2-x1 format to find the slope: 20 - 5/3 - (-2)

(Note: change 3 - (-2) to 3 + 2 to make it easier for you)

Simplify 15/5.

Your slope would be 3/1 or 3.

Now use the slope-intercept format: y = mx + b

(Use either the first point or second point, I chose the first)

5 = 3(-2) + b

Multiply 3 and -2, which is -6.Subtract 5 from -6: -6 - 5 = -11

Your y-intercept is -11.

Hope this helped!

Answers

b. 7/8

Answer:

10/16 is not equivalent to ⅔.

⅛+¾=⅞

Step-by-step explanation:

To simplify to simplest form find the GCF for both and divide on each side.

[tex] \frac{10}{15} = \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

the GCF is 5, so you divide the numerator and denominator by 5 to get 2/3.

[tex] \frac{4}{6} = \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

When you divide the numerator and denominator by 2 (GCF) it would be ⅔.

[tex] \frac{12}{18} = \frac{2}{3} [/tex]

when you divide both the numerator and denominator by 6 (GCF) you get ⅔.

[tex] \frac{10}{16} = \frac{5}{8} [/tex]

when you divide the numerator and denominator by 2 (gcf) you get ⅝.

therefore, 10/16 is not equivalent.

[tex] \frac{1}{8} + \frac{3}{4} = [/tex]

Find the LCM

Least Common Multiple is 16.

8: 8, 16

4: 4, 8, 12, 16

[tex] \frac{2}{16} + \frac{12}{16} [/tex]

for ⅛ you multiply the numerator and denominator by 2 to get 2/16. do the same with 3/4 but with 4 to get 12/16

[tex] \frac{2}{16} + \frac{12}{16} = \frac{14}{16} [/tex]

you can simplify by dividinv both sides by 2 to get 7/8.

Write the equation for a line that is parallel to the line y=-1/3x -4 and passes through the point (3, -1)​

Answers

Answer:

y = -1/3x

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the line has to be parallel, that means it will have the same slope. So, we use the given point and slop to solve for the new y= mx + b using the equation y - y = m( x - x)

m= -1/3    x = 3   y = -1

y + 1 = -1/3(x - 3)

y + 1 = -1/3x + 1

y = -1/3x

the equation for the line is -1/3x

Answer:

9.y=Mx+b

   Y= 2/5x+4

10. y=Mx+b

     Y=4x-5

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

9) [tex]y=\frac{2}{5} x+4[/tex]

10) [tex]y=4x-5[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Slope-intercept form is [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where [tex]m[/tex] is the slope and [tex]b[/tex] is the y-intercept, or the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis.

Question 9

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

The question tells us that the slope of the line is [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex]. Because the slope is [tex]m[/tex], plug [tex]\frac{2}{5}[/tex] into the equation as [tex]m[/tex].

[tex]y=\frac{2}{5} x+b[/tex]

Then, it tells us that the y-intercept is (0,4). Recall that the y-intercept is the value of y when the line crosses the y-axis. The value of y in the point (0,4) is 4. Because the y-intercept is [tex]b[/tex], plug 4 into the equation as [tex]b[/tex].

[tex]y=\frac{2}{5} x+4[/tex]

Question 10

[tex]y=mx+b[/tex]

First, we must calculate the slope using the slope equation:

[tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex] when the given points are [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex]

The given points are (0,-5) and (2,3). Plug those into the equation.

[tex]\frac{3-(-5)}{2-0}[/tex]

Two negatives make a positive

[tex]= \frac{3+5}{2-0}\\= \frac{8}{2} \\= 4[/tex]

Therefore, the slope of the line is 4. Plug 4 into the original equation as [tex]m[/tex].

[tex]y=4x+b[/tex]

Now, we can find the y-intercept by simply looking at the graph. The line crosses the y-axis at the point (0,-5). Therefore, the y-intercept is -5. Plug -5 into the equation as [tex]b[/tex].

[tex]y=4x+(-5)\\y=4x-5[/tex]

Find the values of x and y.

Answer:

y = 169

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that (x-1) + 52 + (y-7) = 180 because they're all on the same straight line. We also know that x-1 = 66, because they are alternate interior angles.

Solve for x:

x-1 = 66

x = 67

Now solve for y:

(67-1) + 52 + (y-7) = 180

I owe $8500 on my credit card. The card has a promotional interest rate of 0% for 24 months. To repay the debt, I'm going to pay a fixed amount toward the balance every month. After 12 months, my remaining debt will be $6460. Which of the following equations correctly relates the remaining debt (D) to the number of months (t) I've been making payments? (Select all that apply.)

Question 4 options:

D=6460+170t

D=170t−6460

170t+D=8500

D=−170t+8500
