What is the solution to an equation?

In order to make the equation's equality true, the unknown variables must be given values as a solution. In other words, the definition of a solution is a value or set of values (one for each unknown) that, when used as a replacement for the unknowns, transforms the equation into equality.

Total number of stamps - 1170

US stamps - 4 times as many as foreign stamps

Let x be the number of foreign stamps.

4x as the number of US stamps.

To find the number of US and foreign stamps Peter collected, we are going to represent the given data as:

x + 4x = 1170.

x + 4x = 1170

5x = 1170

5x/5 = 1170/5

x = 234

Peter collected 234 foreign stamps.

US stamps = 4x

= 4(234)

= 936

Write an equation of the line passing through point P(-1, 3) that is perpendicular to y = 4x - 7

Answers

The equation of line is y = -1/4x + 11/12.

What is slope?

A line's slope is determined by how its y coordinate changes in relation to how its x coordinate changes. y and x are the net changes in the y and x coordinates, respectively. Therefore, it is possible to write the

change in y coordinate with respect to the change in x coordinate as,

m = Δy/Δx

where, m is the slope

Given:

line passing through P(-1, 3) that is perpendicular to y = 4x - 7.

Now, the slope of perpendicular line is

slope= -1/ 4

and, the lines passes through (-1, 3)

Thus, using slope- intercept form

y- 3 = m( x + 1)

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

y- 3 = -1/4x - 1/4

y = -1/4x + 11/12

Hence, the equation of line is y = -1/4x + 11/12

pool empties at a rate of 12 quarts every 2 minutes. how many hours and minutes will it take to completely empty the pool which contains 12,000 gallons? (1 gallon

Answers

After the conversion, 133 hours and 33 minutes will it take to completely empty the pool which contains 12,000 gallons.

In the given question we have to find how many hours and minutes will it take to completely empty the pool which contains 12,000 gallons.

As given that pool empties at a rate of 12 quarts every 2 minutes.

In 12 quarts = empties in 2 minutes

As we know that 1 gallon = 4 quarts

So 1 quarts = 1/4 gallon

In 12 quarts = 12/4 gallon

12 quarts = 3 gallon

So 3 gallon = empties in 2 minutes

So 1 gallon = empties in 2/3 minutes

12,000 gallon = empties in 2/3 ×12,000 minutes

Simplifying

12,000 gallon = empties in 2×4,000 minutes

12,000 gallon = empties in 8,000 minutes

Now converting minutes in hours.

As we know that 1 minute = 1/60 hours

So 8000 minute = 8000/60 hours

8000 minutes = 133 hours 33 minutes

133 hours and 33 minutes will it take to completely empty the pool which contains 12,000 gallons.

Answers

Answer:Let the age of son be x.

Thus, age of father is 4x.

After 5 years, their ages will be x+5 and 4x+5 years respectively.

As per the question, we have

4x+5=3(x+5)

⇒4x+5=3x+15

⇒x=10

Age of father will be 4x=4×10=40 years.

Thus when son is 10 years old, father is 40 years.

Step-by-step explanation:

After 3 years father's age will be five times that of his son. Father age will be 40 years and son age will be 8 years .

Given,

Present age of father = 37 years.

Present age of son = 5 years.

Now,

Let the number of years be x after which the fathers age will be 5 times the age of his son.

So,

Ages after 3 years  ,

Age of father = 40 years

Age of son = 8 years.

Thus age of father is 5 times the age of son.

Therefore after 3 years father's age will be five times that of his son.

What is the system of linear equations in three variables?

Three-variable equation systems are only slightly more difficult to solve than two-variable equation systems. Substitution and the use of 3x3 matrices are the two most straightforward methods for solving these types of equations.

The given equations are

                  r - 3s + t = 4 ------------(I)

                  3r - 6s +9t = 5 ---------(II)

                  4r - 9s + 10t = 9--------(III)

from equation (I), we get

                  r = 4 + 3s - t ------------(IV)

Now put the value of 'r' in equations (II) and (III), and we get

               3(4 + 3s - t) - 6s + 9t = 5

               4(4 + 3s - t) - 9s + 10t = 9

Solving the above equations, we get

             3s + 6t + 12 = 5 --------(V)

             3s + 6t + 16 = 9 --------(VI)

 Now isolate the value of 's' from equation (IV), we get

              3s = - 6t + 5 -12

             [tex]s=\frac{-6t-7}{3}[/tex]

Now put the value of 's' in equation (IV), and we get

           [tex]r=4 +3s -t\\r=4+3\cdot(\frac{-6t-7}{3}) -t\\ r=4-6t-7-t\\r=-7t-3[/tex]

Answers

The equation represents the line that passes through the points (6, -12) and (16,-10) is y = 1/5x - 13.2

The first point = (6, -12)

The second point = (16, -10)

The slope of the line m = [tex]\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Substitute the values in the equation

The slope of the line m = (-10 -(-12) / (16 - 6)

= (-10 +12) / 10

= 2/10

= 1/5

The slope intercept form is

y = mx + b

Consider the point (6, -12)

-12 = (1/5)6 + b

-12 = 6/5 + b

b = -12 - 6/5

b = -13.2

The equation will be

Step-by-step explanation:

So 392.50 is the cost of 2 phones and 6 headphones and 286.00 is the cost of 2 cell phones and three headphones. so 392.50-286.00 is the cost of 3 headphones since you added three headphones to the price. so the price of 3 headphones is 106.50. Then you subtract 106.50 from 286.00 to get the cost of the two cell phones. And you get 179.50. Then, you divide 179.50 in order to get the price of one cell phone and you get 89.75.

a) The revenues for both items will be the same after 1 day.

b) The graph with the solution is given by the image at the end of the answer.

How to obtain the number of days for which the revenues will be the same?

The functions defining the revenues for the selling of x brownies and of x cookies are presented as follows:

Brownies: B(x) = 2x² + 8x - 4.Cookies: C(x) = 2x + 4.

The revenues will be the same after x days, for which:

B(x) = C(x).

Hence:

2x² + 8x - 4 = 2x + 4

2x² + 6x - 8 = 0.

x² + 3x - 4 = 0.

The quadratic function can be factored as follows:

(x + 4)(x - 1) = 0.

Applying the Factor Theorem, the solutions are given as follows:

x + 4 = 0 -> x = -4, which is an extraneous solution, as the number of days cannot be negative.x - 1 = 0 -> x = 1, which is the number of days when the revenues are the same.

Divide both sides by 3 to solve y

3/3 y = 63/3

y = 21

So now let’s solve for x

Since we know EOG is 90 degrees, we know the other two unknown angles AOE = x and BOG = 8x + 18 sum will equal 90 degrees, because all straight angles sum = 180

So our equation is
x + 8x + 18 = 90

Combine like terms

9x + 18 = 90

Subtract 18 from both sides to isolate x

9x +18 -18 = 90 -18

Combine

9x = 72

Divide both sides by 9 to solve

9/9 x = 72/9

x = 8

Check your work

x + 27 + 3y + 8x + 18 = 180

(8) + 27 + (3)(21) + (8)(8) + 18 = 180

8 + 27 + 63 + 64 + 18 = 180

180 = 180

a mason builds two patios with the same area. one is a square and the other is a rectangle 10 m longer than the square but 8 m less wide than the square. what is the area of each patio?

Answers

The area of each of the patios is 1600 m².

The mason builds two patios with the same area. One of the patios is square, and the other is rectangular. The rectangular patio is 10 m longer but 8 m less wide than the square patio. We need to find the area of each patio.

Let the side length of the square patio be denoted by the variable "x". The area of the square can be calculated as follows.

A1 = x²

The length and breadth of the rectangular patio is "x + 10" and "x - 8", respectively. The area of the rectangular patio is calculated below.

A2 = (x + 10)*(x - 8)

A2 = x² + 2x - 80

We know that the areas of both patios are equal.

A1 = A2

x² = x² + 2x - 80

2x = 80

x = 40

Hence, the area of each patio is A = x² = 40² = 1600 m².

1. Griffin wants to go hiking, but the weather is not cooperating. Right now, there are 2 inches of snow on the ground and snow is falling at a rate of 0.25 in/hr.

(a) Write the linear equation that represents the total amount of snow, y, after x number of hours.



(b) How much snow will be on the ground after 4 hours? You must use your equation above to solve, and you must show all of your work.




(c) If Griffin does not want to be hiking when there are 6 inches of snow on the ground, how long does he have to complete his hike? Do you think he will finish his hike in time? You must use your equation above to solve, and you must show all of your work.

Answers

a) The linear equation that represents the total amount of snow, y, after x number of hours is: y = 2 + 0.25x.

b) 3 inches is the amount of snow that is on the ground after four hours.

c) The time until the snow reaches 6 inches is of 16 hours, which is enough to finish the hike, as they usually take at most five hours.

What is a linear function?

The slope-intercept representation of a linear function is shown by the equation as follows:

y = mx + b

In which the parameters m and b of the linear equation are explained as follows:

m is the slope, representing the rate of change of the output relative to the input, in the context of this problem how much snow falls by hour.b is the y-intercept, which is the initial value of the function, that is, how much snow was there initially.

Thus the values of these parameters are given as follows:

m = 0.25, b = 2.

The equation that represents the total amount of snow, y, after x number of hours is:

y = 0.25x + 2.

The numeric value of function after four hours is found replacing the lone instance of x on the function by 4, hence:

y = 0.25(4) + 2 = 3 inches.

To find when the amount will be of six inches, we have to solve for x when y = 6, hence:

2 + 0.25x = 6

0.25x = 4

x/4 = 4

x = 16 hours.
