Minnie is making tea. She knows that her tea tastes best if she lets her tea bag sit in the hot water for exactly fifteen minutes. However, depending how hot the water is, she may have to leave her tea bag in the water for 2 minutes more or less than usual. Write and solve an absolute value equation to describe this situation

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

|x - 2| = 15 ; |x + 2| = 15

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Wait time = 15 minutes

Variation in wait time depending on level of hotness = 2 minutes

X ± 2 = 15

x + 2 = 15 or x - 2 = 15

x = 15 - 2 = 13 or x = 15 + 2 = 17

Hence, to express the above as an absolute value equation :

|x - variation| = mean time

|x - 2| = 15 ; |x + 2| = 15

Answer:

B. [tex]y = -4x + 15[/tex]

C. [tex]16x + 4y = 9[/tex]

D. [tex]y=-4x[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]8x + 2y = 7[/tex]

Required

Select all equations that could be used.

Equation that could be used in place of [tex]8x + 2y = 7[/tex] must have the same slope.

Calculating the slope of [tex]8x + 2y = 7[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]2y = 7 - 8x[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{7}{2} - \frac{8x}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{7}{2} - 4x[/tex]

[tex]y = - 4x + \frac{7}{2}[/tex]

Using y = mx + b

Where

[tex]m = slope[/tex]

The slope is -4

Option A.

[tex]y-1 = 4(x + 8)[/tex]

Open bracket

[tex]y - 1=4x + 32[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]y - 4x = 32 + 1[/tex]

[tex]y - 4x = 33[/tex]

Make y the subject

[tex]y = 4x + 33[/tex]

The slope of this line is 4;

Hence, it can not be used.

Option  B.

[tex]y = -4x + 15[/tex]

The slope of this line is -4;

Hence, it can be used.

Option  C.

[tex]16x + 4y = 9[/tex]

Solve for4y

[tex]4y=9 - 16x[/tex]

Solve for y

[tex]\frac{4y}{4} =\frac{9}{4} - \frac{16x}{4}[/tex]

[tex]y =\frac{9}{4} - 4x[/tex]

[tex]y = - 4x + \frac{9}{4}[/tex]

The slope of this line is -4;

Hence, it can be used.

D. [tex]y=-4x[/tex]

The slope of this line is -4;

Hence, it can be used.

E. [tex]4x + 2y = 3[/tex]

Solve for 2y

[tex]2y = 3 - 4x[/tex]

Solve for y

[tex]\frac{2y}{2} = \frac{3}{2} - \frac{4x}{2}[/tex]

[tex]y = \frac{3}{2} - 2x[/tex]

The slope of this line is -2;

Hence, it can not be used.

From the calculations above, equations B, C and D are equivalent

Answers

Answer:

FOREVER AND ALWAYS

Step-by-step explanation:

i love you more than you know:( <3

see you someday

The compound inequality which represents the given situation is 20 < x < 30.

What is inequality?

A difference between two values indicates whether one is smaller, larger, or basically not similar to the other.

In other words, inequality is just the opposite of equality for example 2 =2 then it is equal but if I say 3 =6 then it is wrong the correct expression is 3 < 6.

Let's say x represents the spend.

As per the given,

You can spend less than $30,

x < 30

You must also spend more than 20.

x > 20

Compound,

30 < x < 20

Hence "The compound inequality which represents the given situation is 20 < x < 30".

What is the sign of 3 x y 3xy3, x, y when x > 0 x>0x, is greater than, 0 and y < 0 y<0

Answers

The sign is negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

[tex]Expression = 3xy[/tex]

[tex]x > 0[/tex]

[tex]y<0[/tex]

Required

Determine the sign

The expression can be split into 3 factors

[tex](3) (x) (y)[/tex]

If x > 0 then x is positive and If y < 0 then y is negative

So, the expression becomes:

[tex](+3) (+x) (-y)[/tex]

Leave only signs

[tex](+) (+) (-)[/tex]

[tex]+ * + = -[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](+*+) (-)[/tex]

[tex](+) (-)[/tex]

[tex]+ * - = -[/tex]

So, we have:

[tex](+) (-) = -[/tex]

Hence, the sign of the expression is negative

Take for instance;

[tex]x = 2[/tex]

[tex]y = -4[/tex]

The expression would be:

Answer:

  c) 5n +25q = 365

     2q -4 = n

Step-by-step explanation:

The number of nickels (n) is 4 less than twice the number of quarters (q), so one of the equations is ...

  2q -4 = n

The face value is 365 cents, so another equation is ...

  5n +25q = 365

These equations seem to match choice C.

Find rhe x- and y- intercerpts of the following relationships.(There may be more then one)
[tex]3x^{2} + 2y^2 = 24[/tex]

Answers

Answer:

see explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

3x² + 2y² = 24

To find the x- intercepts , let y = 0 in the equation and solve for x

3x² + 2(0)² = 24, that is

3x² = 24 ( divide both sides by 3 )

x² = 8 ( take the square root of both sides )

x = ± [tex]\sqrt{8}[/tex] = ± 2[tex]\sqrt{2}[/tex] ← x- intercepts

To find the y- intercepts. let x = 0 in the equation and solve for y

3(0)² + 2y² = 24 , that is

2y² = 24 ( divide both sides by 2 )

y² = 12 ( take the square root of both sides )

y = ± [tex]\sqrt{12}[/tex] = ± 2[tex]\sqrt{3}[/tex] ← y- intercepts

Step-by-step explanation:

So your x axis will have -4. Your x axis is the axis that goes from left to right or right to left (horizontal,horizon). Your y acia goes from up to down top to bottom (vertical). So in this scenario, -4 is your x axis and 0 is you y axis. 0,0 is the very middle and accounts for both x and y axis. So all you do to graph it is put the dot on the -4 and thats your answr:)

we need to find the perimeter of ABC for that we find each of the sides

AB BC and AC

there is a formula to find the distance between 2 poins

let's say that a point has the structure A(x1,y1) where x=-3 and y=1 and B(x2,y2) where x2=-3 and y2=5

AB=[tex]\sqrt{(x2-x1)^2+(y2-y1)^2}[/tex]

AB=[tex]\sqrt{(-3+3)^2+(5-1)^2}[/tex]

AB=[tex]\sqrt{0^2+4^2}[/tex]

AB=4

we do the same thing for AC and BC

AC=[tex]\sqrt{7^2+0^2}[/tex]

AC=7

BC=[tex]\sqrt{(4+3)^2+(1-5)^2}[/tex]

Answers

Given :

A college cafeteria pays student cashiers $540 per hour. Cashiers earn an additional  $110 per hour for each hour worked over 35 hours per week.

To Find :

A cashier worked 39  hours one week and 37 hours the second week.

Show and explain to the cashier how her salary calculated in this two-week period.

Solution :

Week 1 :

For first 35 hours he will get fixed amount i.e $540.

Now, for next four hours he will get $110 per hour.

So, total salary, T = 540 + (110×(39 - 35)

T = $980

Week 2 :

Total salary, T = 540 + ( 110×( 37 - 35 ))

T = $760

Therefore, salary of two week period is $( 980 + 760 ) = $1740.

A triangle has the lengths of (10a+9) centimeter,(8a—3) centimeters and (10b+7). Which expression represents the perimeter in centimeters of the triangle

Answers

Answer:

P = (18a+10b+13) cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

A triangle has the lengths of (10a+9) cm, (8a—3) cm and (10b+7) cm.

We need to find an expression that represents the perimeter of the triangle.

Perimeter = sum of all sides

P = (10a+9) + (8a-3) + (10b+7)

Taking like terms together,

P = (10a+8a)+10b+(9-3+7)

= 18a+10b+13

Hence, the epresssion for the perimeter is (18a+10b+13) cm.

Elsa took out a 2-year loan to buy a car at a 6% simple interest rate. If she has to pay $264 in interest, how much principal did she borrow? ***REMEMBER - you must find out how much interest she will pay in 1 year!!!

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Given as :

The time period for the car loan = t = 2 years

The rate of interest applied = r = 6% at simple interest

The interest amount = S.I = $264

Let The principal amount which Elsa borrowed = $p

Now, From simple interest method

Simple Interest = 

Or, S.I = 

Or, $264 = 

Or, $264 × 100 = 12 × p

Or,  p = 

∴ p = $2200

So, The principal she borrowed = p = $2200
