A horticulturist wants to improve the soil quality in a garden by adding 120 pounds of nitrogen and 54 pounds of potassium. A pack of organic fertilizer contains 2 pounds of nitrogen and 3 pounds of potassium, and a pack of inorganic fertilizer contains 6 pounds of nitrogen and 2 pounds of potassium. How many packs of each type of fertilizer does the horticulturalist need to use? (Hint Write an equation for the total amount of nitrogen (120 pounds) obtained by adding the packs of both the fertilizers and another equation for the total amount of potassium (54 pounds) obtained by adding the packs of both the fertilizers.)

A organic fertilizer: 24 packs; inorganic fertilizer: 12 packs

B. organic fertilizer: 14 packs; inorganic fertilizer: 6 packs

C organic fertilizer: 15 packs; inorganic fertilizer: 8 packs

D. organic fertilizer: 9 packs; inorganic fertilizer: 17 packs

Е. organic fertilizer: 6 packs; inorganic fertilizer: 18 packs​

Answers

Answer 1

x and y are the packs of organic and inorganic fertilizer, respectively.

pounds of nitrogen added = 2x + 6y = 120

pounds of potassium added = 3x + 2y = 54

eliminate the y terms. subtract the first equation from 3 times the second equation.

9x + 6y = 162

-2x - 6y = -120

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

7x = 42

x = 6

y = 18

Here are 5 lines on a coordinate grid:

Write equations for lines a,b,c,d and e


a:

b:

c:

d:

e:​

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

✔️Equation for line a:

Line a is a vertical line, hence, the slope is undefined. Equation of a vertical line is given as x = k. Where k is the x-intercept and would remain the same irrespective of the corresponding y-coordinates of all the other points on the vertical line.

In line a, the x-intercept is -4. Therefore, the equation for line a would be:

✅ x = -4

✔️Equation for line b:

Line b is also a vertical line, and would be represented as x = k.

The value of k is the point olwhere the line intercepts the x-axis.

Thus, k = 4.

Equation for line b would be:

✅ x = 4

✔️Equation for line c:

Line c is an horizontal line. Slope (m) of a horizontal line is always 0.

It can be represented in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where,

m = slope = 0

b = y-intercept = 4 (this is where the y-axis is intercepted by the line)

Thus, substitute m = 0, b = 4 in y = mx + b.

The equation for line c would be:

y = (0)(x) + 4

✅y = 4

✔️Equation for line d:

Slope (m) = 0

y-intercept (b) = -2

Substitute m = 0, and b = -2 in y = mx + b

Equation for line d awould be:

y = -2

✔️Equation for line e:

Slope (m) = [tex] \frac{rise}{run} = -\frac{3}{4} [/tex]

y-intercept (b) = 1

Substitute m = -¾, and b = 1 in y = mx + b

Equation for line e would be:

✅y = -¾x + 1

Hector works 10 hours per week at a part-time job. His original pay rate was $8.50 per hour, but he recently received a raise of x dollars per hour. His new total weekly pay, y, is represented by the equation y = 10(8.5 + x). If Hector earned $100 last week, what was the amount of Hector's raise per hour? A . $12.00 B .$15.00 C. $1.50 D. $3.00

Answers

Answer:

$1.50

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the total weekly pay of Hector modeled by the equation;

y = 10(8.5 + x)

We are to find the amount of Hector's raise per hour x given the total oay y = $100

Substitute y = 100 into the equation and find x  as shown;

y = 10(8.5 + x)

100 = 10(8.5+x)

100/10 = 8.5 + x

10 = 8.5 + x

x = 10 - 8.5

x = 1.5

Hence the amount of Hector's raise per hour is $1.50

Can someone please tell me what range and domain is. and how to tell what an independent and dependent variable are please

Answers

Answer: The dependent variable is the Y axis of a graph, or the side of the graph that is vertical. The independent variable is the X axis of a graph, or the side of the graph that is horizontal. Domain is the input of a mathematical function, and the range is the output!

Hope this helps :)

range is the difference between the largest and smaller; “ To find the range, first order the data from least to greatest. Then subtract the smallest value from the largest value in the set.”

domain is the set of all possible x-values which will make the function able to work and will output real y-values. You must remember that in a function x can NEVER have more than one output (y)

“A independent variable is a variable (often denoted by x ) whose variation does not depend on that of another”. The independent variable is the variable the experimenter changes or controls and is assumed to have a direct effect on the dependent variable

“A dependent variable is a variable (often denoted by y ) whose value depends on that of another.” The dependent variable is the variable being tested and measured in an experiment, and is 'dependent' on the independent variable.

In the figure shown, line AB is parallel to line CD.

Part A: What is the measure of angle x? Show your work. (5 points)

Part B: Explain how you found the measure of angle x by identifying the angle relationships that you used along the transversal. (5 points)

AB and CD are parallel lines, and PQ and PR are transversals which intersect AB at P and CD at Q and R. Angle APQ is labeled as 65 degrees, angle QPR is equal to x, angle PRD is equal to 120 degrees.

Answers

Answer:

X = 53

X= 115 - 62

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: 62 + X = 115

X= 115 - 62

X = 53

Part B:

APQ + QPR = PRD

Dont copy off of me because im not for sure  this is the right awnser            

The measure of angle x is 55.

And to get 55 you first need to find angle BPR.

So, what you would do is 180 - 120 and that equals 60.

So, this means that angle BPR is 60 degrees.

Ok, so now to find the angle of x.

You first need to do 65 + 60 + x =180.

Since we don't know the value of x, we do 65 + 60 and that gives us 125.

So, 180 - 125 = 55. 

So, X = 55.

The amount Carissa earns per week  = $450

The amount Carissa earns for each overtime hour = $16.83

Where the given variables are;

W = Her weekly wages

V = The number of overtime hours worked

Therefore, the equation that would be used to determine her weekly wages is given as follows;

W = 450 + 16.83 × V.

What is inequality?

Inequality is defined as the relation which makes a non-equal comparison between two given functions.

If the equation or inequality contains variable terms, then there might be some values of those variables for which that equation or inequality might be true.

These values are called solution to that equation or inequality.

A Set of such values is called solution set to the considered equation or inequality.

Solving systems of equations using substitution/elimination

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define Systems

r = 4s

r = 1/2s + 7

Step 2: Solve for s

Substitution

Substitute in r:                                4s = 1/2s + 7Subtract 1/2s on both sides:          7/2s = 7Divide 7/2 on both sides:              s = 2

Step 3: Solve for r

Define equation:                    r = 4sSubstitute in s:                       r = 4(2)Multiply:                                  r = 8

Answer:

s = 2

r = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

subsitution is were you plug in a systerm into the other problem

since they give you R = 4s you take 4s and plug it in were r is in the other equation (subsitution)

so now you have 4s = 1/2s+7

now you want to solve for s so your going to subtract 1/2s from both sides to cancle out the 1/2s --> 4s - 1/2s = 7 --> 3 and 1/2s = 7

now divide both sides by 3 1/2 to get s alone s = 7/3 and 1/2

s = 2

now we have s we take that and plug it into r = 4s

subsitute S as 2  --> r = 4(2)

r = 8
