Points scored by Adam, Bethany and Charles are 25, 17 and 30 respectively.
What is algebra?Algebra is a study of mathematical expressions, in which numbers and quantities are represented in formulas and equations by letters and other universal symbols.
Given that,
Adam scored 8 more points than Charles,
And Bethany scored 5 more points than Adam.
Also, total score is 72.
Let points scored by Adam is x,
Then point scored by Charles = x-8,
And point scored by Bethany = x+5.
Since, total score = 72
x + x-8 + x+5 = 72
3x - 3 = 72
3x = 75
x = 25
Points scored by Adam is x = 25,
Point scored by Charles = x-8 = 17,
And point scored by Bethany = x+5 = 30.

Step-by-step explanation:
A rectangle has a perimeter of 100 inches, and
one side has length x. Express the area of the
rectangle as a function of x.
Use the function in part a to find the dimensions of the rectangle with permitter 100 inches and the largest possible area
Answer:
a. A = 50x - x² b. length = 25 inches and width = 25 inches and the maximum area is 625 in²
Step-by-step explanation:
a. The perimeter of a rectangle P = 2(L + W) where L = length and W = width. Now, given that P = 100 inches and W = x, substituting these into the equation, we have
P = 2(L + W)
100 = 2(L + x)
dividing both sides by 2, we have
100/2 = L + x
50 = L + x
making L subject of the formula, we have
L = 50 - x
Now, the are of a rectangle A = LW. Substituting the values of L and W, we have
A = LW
A = (50 - x)x
A = 50x - x²
b. To find the largest possible area of rectangle with perimeter 100 inches, we differentiate A and equate it to zero to find the value of x that maximizes A.
So, dA/dx = d(50x - x²)/dx
dA/dx = d50x/dx - dx²/dx
dA/dx = 50 - 2x
dA/dx = 0 ⇒ 50 - 2x = 0
50 = 2x
dividing both sides by 2, we have
x = 50/2
x = 25
To find it this gives maximum value for A, we differentiate A twice.
d²A/dx² = d(50 - 2x)/dx
d²A/dx² = d50/dx - d2x/dx
d²A/dx² = -2
Since d²A/dx² = -2 < 0, so x = 25 gives maximum value for the area, A.
Since W = x = 25 in and L = 50 - x. So, L = 50 - 25 = 25 in
So, the maximum area A = LW = Lx = 25 in × 25 in = 625 in²
The dimension with perimeter 100 inches that give maximum area are length = 25 inches and width = 25 inches and the maximum area is 625 in²

My b for accusing you:,)
Step-by-step explanation:
Percentage increase = (279 - 180)/180 x 100% = 55%
this is a topic on percentage. the above question requires a use of a kind of formula if you wish to explore more into this topic you can give me a follow on Instagram (learntionary) I've already posted some notes on this topic and will be doing more on others and also I'll be providing tips on some topics as well!
Answer:
55% increase
Step-by-step explanation:
First I want to say I recommend using sites like Calculator soup, and finding the option "percent increase calculator", for problems like these instead of wasting any points that you could use later on, and Secondly (happy to help), oof and third:
1) subtract the final value minus the starting value
279 - 180= 99
2) Divide that amount by the absolute value of the starting value
99 divided by 180 equals .55
3) Multiply by 100 to get percent increase
changes to 55.00 (final answer 55%)
4) If the percentage is negative, it means there was a decrease and not an increase.

Xavier can paint the average house in 4 hours, while Mohamad can do it in 12 hours. Find the number of hours, $$, that it would take to paint a house if they both worked together.
Answer:
3 hours
Step-by-step explanation:
Xavier can paint the average house in 4 hours
This means that in 1 hour, Xavier paints 1/4 of the house
Mohamad can do it in 12 hours
That means in 1 hour, Mohamad paints 1/12 of the house
Hence,
Together the amount of the house they can paint in 1 hour is
1/4 + 1/12
The Least common denominator is 12
(3 × 1 + 1 × 1)/1#
= 3 + 1/12
= 4/12
= 1/3
Together they can paint 1/3 of the house
The number of hours, that it would take to paint a house if they both worked together is
= 1/3 = 1
Cross Multiply
= 3 × 1
= 3 hours
the ratio the ratio of two numbers is 5:6 . find the sum of two numbers is 55. find the number
Answer:
25 and 30
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the ratio of 2 numbers is 5 : 6 = 5x : 6x ( x is a multiplier ), then
5x + 6x = 55, that is
11x = 55 ( divide both sides by 11 )
x = 5
Thus
5x = 5 × 5 = 25
6x = 6 × 5 = 30
Then the 2 numbers are 25 and 30
Find the slope of the line that goes through the points (9,-13) and (7,3).
hi
You have two points A ( X;Y) and B ( X ; Y)
slope is : ( Yb -Ya) / (Xb -Xa )
(3 - (-13) ) / ( 7 - 9) = (3 +13) / -2 = 16/-2 = - 16/2 = -8
slope is -8
Answer:
-8
Step-by-step explanation:
The slope formula is as follows:
m = y2 - y1 / x2 - x2
You would first plug in the points into the formula, and this is what you would get:
m = 3 - (-13) / 7 - 9
From there, because of additive inverse, the negative signs would become + signs.
m = 3 + 13 / 7 - 9
You would now add/subtract.
m = 16 / -2
And lastly, you would simplify.
m = 8/-1
8/-1 is the same thing as a slope of -8.

Angl is a square. The equation of line NG is Y= 1/2 X - 6. Find the equation of line LG in slope intercept form given that the coordinates of L are (-5,1)
Answer: y=-2x-9
Step-by-step explanation:
If ANGL is a square, then NG and LG are adjacent sides.
Adjacent sides are perpendicular. [Each angle is 90°]
The equation of line NG is [tex]Y=\dfrac12 X-6[/tex].
By comparing it to equation in slope intercept form y=mx+c ( where , m= slope , c=y-interecpt)
slope =[tex]\dfrac12[/tex]
Let slope of LG be n, then
[tex]n\times \dfrac{1}{2}=-1[/tex] [Product of slopes of two perpendicular line =-1]
[tex]\Rightarrow n=-2[/tex]
Equation of a line passes through (a,b) and have slope m is given by :-
[tex](y-b)=m(x-a)[/tex]
Equation of LG :
[tex](y-1)=-2(x-(-5))\\\\\Rightarrow\ y-1=-2x-10\\\\\Rightarrow\ y=-2x-9[/tex] [In intercept form]
Write the equation 2x - 3y= 6 in slope-intercept form.
y=2/3 x+3
y=2/3 x-2
Y=3/2 x+3
