A contest gives out prizes for first, second, and third place. First place is $500 more than double third place. Second place is $400 less than first place. All together, $1850 is given out in prizes. How much is each prize worth?

Answers

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

$1000$600$250

Step-by-step explanation:

Let t represent the third-place prize value. Then the first place prize has a value of 2t+500, and the second-place prize is 2t+100. The total value of the three prizes is ...

  t +(2t+500) +(2t+100) = 1850

  5t +600 = 1850

  5t = 1250

  t = 250 . . . . . . . . . . . third place prize

  2t +500 = 1000 . . . . first place prize

  1000 -400 = 600 . . .second place prize

The prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places are $1000, $600, and $250, respectively.

how do you write the equation of a line in slope intercept form looking at a table?​

Answers

Slope-intercept form: [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept

1) Determine the slope (m)

To find the slope, take two points from the table, [tex](x_1,y_1)[/tex] and [tex](x_2,y_2)[/tex] and plug them into the following equation to solve for m:

[tex]m=\frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]

Plug m into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] .

2) Determine the y-intercept (b)

Take any point given in the table and plug them into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] (along with the slope that you solved for earlier) as [tex](x,y)[/tex]. Solve for b. Plug b back into [tex]y=mx+b[/tex] along with the slope.

Given,

Diameter of circle = 6 in.

As we know that radius is half of diameter.

Radius = 6 × 1/2 = 3 inches

Now,

[tex] \sf Circumference \: of \: circle = 2 \pi \: r[/tex]

[tex] = \: 2 \times \dfrac{22}{7} \times 3[/tex]

What is Pythagoras Theorem?

If ABC is a triangle with AC as the hypotenuse and angle B with 90 degrees then we have:

|AC|^2 = |AB|^2 + |BC|^2    

where |AB| = length of line segment AB. (AB and BC are rest of the two sides of that triangle ABC, AC being the hypotenuse).

It is given that Mr. Ammons is constructing a walkway through his rectangular Garden. The walkway runs diagonally as shown in the diagram.

We need to find the length of the walkway.

Using Pythagoras Theorem;

[tex]15^2 + 24^2 = x^{2} \\\\x^{2} = 225 + 576\\\\x^{2} = 801\\\\x = \sqrt{801} \\\\x = 28.30[/tex]

Therefore, 28.3 ft is closest to the length of the walkway. answer will be Option B. 28.3 ft
