ax = bx + 1. How is the value of x related to the difference of a and b?

Answer:

$2,500 was invested in the first account while $7,500 was invested in the second account

Step-by-step explanation:

Here in this question, we want to find the amount which was invested in each of the accounts, given their individual interest rates and the total amount that was accorded as interest from the two investments

Now, since we do not know the amount invested , we shall be representing them with variables.

Let the amount invested in the first account be $x and the amount invested in the second account be $y

Since the total amount invested is $10,000, this means that the summation of both gives $10,000

Mathematically;

x + y = 10,000 ••••••(i)

now for the $x, we have an interest rate of 5%

This mathematically translates to an interest value of 5/100 * x = 5x/100

For the $y, we have an interest rate of 6% and this mathematically translates to a value of 6/100 * y= 6y/100

The addition of both interests, gives 575

Thus mathematically;

5x/100 + 6y/100 = 575

Multiplying through by 100, we have

5x + 6y = 57500 •••••••••(ii)

From 1, we can have x = 10,000-y

let’s substitute this into equation ii

5(10,000-y) + 6y = 57500

50,000-5y + 6y = 57500

50,000 + y = 57500

y = 57500-50,000

y = 7,500

Recall;

x = 10,000-y

so we have;

x = 10,000-7500 = 2,500

Answer: There are 19 cats and  38 dogs.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given, A veterinarian clinic, there are twice as many dogs as there cats.

Let x = Number of cats

then, number of dogs = 2x

Since , total number of dogs and cats = 57

So, x+ 2x= 57

[tex]\Rightarrow\ 3x= 57[/tex]

Divide both sides by 3 , we get

[tex]x=\dfrac{57}{3}=19[/tex]

[tex]\Rightarrow\ x= 19[/tex]

Number of cats =19

then, number of dogs  = 2(19) = 38

hence, there are 19 cats and  38 dogs.

Answer: 19 cats and 38 dogs

Step-by-step explanation:

For the two lines to have infinite [tex]\infty[/tex] solutions, the two equations must be the same.

First equation : y = -2x - 8

A. y = -(2x + 8)

   y = -2x - 8 correct

Answer:

A = 55

B = 60

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that 55+ b+ other angle = 180 since they make a straight line

The other angle = 65 since they are alternate interior angles

55+ B+ 65 = 180

Combine like terms

120 + B = 180

B = 60

A + B + 65 = 180 interior angles of a triangle must equal 180 degrees

A +60+ 65 =180  

Combine like terms

A +125 = 180

A = 55

Answer:

[tex]\boxed{A = 55\°}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{B = 60\°}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Exterior Angle with A = 180 - 55 = 125 degrees  (Angles on a straight line)

The measure of exterior angle is equal to the sum of non-adjacent interior angles.

So,

125° = B + 65°

B = 125 - 65

B = 60°

Now,

A = 180 - 60 - 65     (Interior angles of a triangle add up to 180 degrees)

A = 55°

Answer:

y = 3/4( x+5)( x+4) ( x-1)

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the polynomial is

y = c( x- a1)( x- a2) ( x-a3)  where c is a constant and a1,a2,a3 are the zeros

We have zeros -5,-4 and 1

y = c( x- -5)( x- -4) ( x-1)

y = c( x+5)( x+4) ( x-1)

We have a y intercept of -15

That means x=0 and y = -15

-15 = c ( 0+5)( 0+4) ( 0-1)

-15 = c( 5) ( 4) (-1)

-15 = c( -20)

Divide each side by -20

-15/-20 = c

3/4 =c

The equation is

y = 3/4( x+5)( x+4) ( x-1)

Answer:

Age of teacher = 32 years

Step-by-step explanation:

Average age of 15 students = 16 years

Sum of age of 15 students = 16 * 15 = 240 years

Average of age 15 students and a teacher = 17 years

Sum of age  15 students and a teacher = 17 * 16 =  272 years

Age of teacher = 272 - 240 = 32 years

Answer:

Age of teacher = 32 years

Therefore, the correct answer is (b)

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that average is given by

Average age = Sum of ages /no. of students

We are given that the average age of 15 students is 16 years.

16 = Sum of ages/15

Sum of ages = 16×15

Sum of ages = 240

We are given that If teacher’s age is included the average increases by 1.

16 + 1 = New sum of ages/15 + 1

17 = New sum of ages/16

New sum of ages = 17×16

New sum of ages = 272

So the age of the teacher is found by

Age of teacher = New sum of ages - Sum of ages

Age of teacher = 272 - 240

Age of teacher = 32 years

Therefore, the correct answer is (b)

Answer:

(2,1)

Step-by-step explanation:

Well first we single out y or x in one of the equations,

we’ll use 2x + y = 5 and single out y.

2x + y = 5

-2x to both sides

y = -2x + 5

So we can plug in -2x + 5 into y in 2x - 2y = 2.

2x - 2(-2x + 5) = 2

2x + 4x - 10 = 2

combine like terms,

6x - 10 = 2

Communicarice property

+10 to both sides

6x = 12

divide 6 to both sides

x = 2

If x is 2 we can plug 2 in for x in 2x + y = 5.

2(2) + y = 5

4 + y = 5

-4 to both sides

y = 1

(2,1)

Thus,

the solution is (2,1).

Answer:

y= 1

Step-by-step explanation:

A circle forms a sphere only when it goes around a straight line throughout the center so y= 1 because it's (1,0).

The y = 1 is the axis around which the circle cross-section needs to be revolve to create a sphere.

It is given that the circle is on a coordinate plane with the centre at 1 on the y-axis.

It is required to find around which line would the following cross-section need to be revolved to create a sphere.

It is defined as the combination of points that and every point has an equal distance from a fixed point ( called the centre of a circle).

We have a circle on the coordinate plane the centre of the circle lies on the y-axis at 1.

On y=axis the value of x is zero ie. x= 0

The centre of the circle = (0,1)

If a half-circle revovle around the axis which is dividing the circle into two halves.

As we can see in the graph the y-axis and y=1 divide the circle into two halves.

Thus, the line y = 1 is the axis around which the circle cross-section needs to be revolve to create a sphere.

Answer:

15 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed is the ratio of distance traveled to the time taken to reach the distance. The formula for speed is given by:

Speed = distance / time

Distance = speed × time

Claire is cycling at a speed of 12 miles per hour. Han is cycling at a speed of 8 miles per hour. At time t = 45 minutes = 45/ 60 hour = 0.75 hour, the distance traveled by Claire and Han is given as:

For Claire:

Distance = speed × time = 12 miles / hour × 0.75 hour = 9 miles

For Han:

Distance = speed × time = 8 miles / hour × 0.75 hour = 6 miles

Since both Han and Claire are traveling in opposite directions, the distance between them after 45 minutes = 9 miles + 6 miles = 15 miles

Since they are two green balls, x cannot assume value of 0 and 1. The minimum number of red balls must be two since there are only two green balls and we need to select 4 balls

For x = 2 (select two red balls from 4 red balls and 2 green balls from 2 green balls):

P(x = 2) = [tex]\frac{C(4,2)*C(2,2)}{C(6,2)} =\frac{6}{15}[/tex]

For x = 3 (select 3 red balls from 4 red balls and 1 green balls from 2 green balls):

P(x = 3) = [tex]\frac{C(4,3)*C(2,1)}{C(6,2)} =\frac{8}{15}[/tex]

For x = 4 (select 4 red balls from 4 red balls and 0 green balls from 2 green balls):

P(x = 4) = [tex]\frac{C(4,4)*C(2,0)}{C(6,2)} =\frac{1}{15}[/tex]

Expected value = E(x) = ΣxP(x) = (2×6/15) + (3×8/15) + (4×1/15) = 40/15 = 2.67

Variance =  Σx²P(x) - [E(x)]² = (2²×6/15) + (3²×8/15) + (4²×1/15) - (40/15)² = 80/225 = 0.36

Standard deviation = √variance = √0.36 =  0.6

Using the hypergeometric distribution, it is found that:

The marbles are chosen without replacement, hence, the hypergeometric distribution is used to solve this question.

Hypergeometric distribution:

[tex]P(X = x) = h(x,N,n,k) = \frac{C_{k,x}C_{N-k,n-x}}{C_{N,n}}[/tex]

[tex]C_{n,x} = \frac{n!}{x!(n-x)!}[/tex]

The parameters are:

x is the number of successes.

N is the size of the population.

n is the size of the sample.

k is the total number of desired outcomes.

In this problem:

The expected value is:

[tex]E(X) = \frac{nk}{N}[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]E(X) = \frac{4(4)}{6} = 2.67[/tex]

The expected value is of 2.67.

The variance is:

[tex]V(X) = \frac{nk(N-k)(N-n)}{N^2(N-1)}[/tex]

Hence:

[tex]V(X) = \frac{4(4)(2)(2)}{6^2(6-1)} = 0.356[/tex]

The standard deviation is the square root of the variance, hence:

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

Explanation:

Jane does the job alone and she can finish it in 5 hours. Her rate is 1/5 of a job per hour. By "job", I mean painting the entire fence. Notice that multiplying 1/5 by the number of hours she works will yield the value 1 to indicate one full job is done.

Through similar reasoning, Paul's rate is 1/6 of a job per hour.

Let x be the time, in hours, it takes Peter to get the job done if he worked alone. His rate is 1/x of a job per hour.

Combining the three individual rates gives

1/5 + 1/6 + 1/x = (6x)/(30x) + (5x)/(30x) + (30)/(30x)

1/5 + 1/6 + 1/x = (6x+5x+30)/(30x)

1/5 + 1/6 + 1/x = (11x+30)/(30x)

The expression (11x+30)/(30x) is the total rate if the three people worked together. This is assuming neither worker slows another person down.

Set this equal to 1/2 as this is the combined rate (based on the fact everyone teaming up gets the job done in 2 hours). Then solve for x

(11x+30)/(30x) = 1/2

2(11x+30) = 30x*1 .... cross multiply

22x+60 = 30x

60 = 30x-22x

60 = 8x

8x = 60

x = 60/8

x = 7.5

It takes Peter 7.5 hours, or 7 hours 30 minutes, to get the job done if he worked alone.

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

Here's another equation to solve though its fairly the same idea as above

1/5 + 1/6 + 1/x = 1/2

30x*(1/5 + 1/6 + 1/x) = 30x*(1/2) ... multiply both sides by LCD

30x(1/5) + 30x(1/6) + 30x(1/x) = 30x(1/2)

6x + 5x + 30 = 15x

11x + 30 = 15x

30 = 15x-11x

30 = 4x

4x = 30

x = 30/4

x = 7.5

We get the same answer

Answer:  7 . 5 hrs

Step-by-step explanation:

It takes Jane 5 hours to finish the fence so she can get  [tex]\dfrac{1}{5}[/tex] of the job done in 1 hour.

It takes Paul 6 hours to finish the fence so he can get  [tex]\dfrac{1}{6}[/tex] of the job done in 1 hour.

It takes Peter x hours to finish the fence so he can get  [tex]\dfrac{1}{x}[/tex] of the job done in 1 hour.

Together, it takes them 2 hours to finish the fence so they can get  [tex]\dfrac{1}{2}[/tex] of the job done in 1 hour.

Jane + Paul + Peter = Together

[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}\quad +\quad \dfrac{1}{6}\quad +\quad \dfrac{1}{x}\quad =\quad \dfrac{1}{2}[/tex]

Multiply everything by 30x to eliminate the denominator:

[tex]\dfrac{1}{5}(30x) + \dfrac{1}{6}(30x) +\dfrac{1}{x}(30x) =\dfrac{1}{2}(30x)[/tex]

Simplify and solve for x:

6x + 5x + 30 = 15x

      11x + 30 = 15x

              30 = 4x

              [tex]\dfrac{30}{4}=x[/tex]

              7.5 = x
