bryan has some 3 cent stamps and some 4 cent stamps. what is the least number of stamps he can combine so the value of the stamps is 33 cents?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The least number of stamps required is [tex]9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the number of [tex]3[/tex] cent stamps be [tex]x[/tex] and [tex]4[/tex] cent stamps be [tex]y[/tex]

We have

[tex]3x+4y=33[/tex]

The minimum number is obtained when more  [tex]4[/tex] cent stamps are used

Here [tex]y[/tex] cannot be greater than [tex]8[/tex] since [tex]\frac{33}{4} <9[/tex]

Substitute [tex]y=8[/tex]

[tex]3x+4\times 8=33\\\\3x=1\\\\x=\frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Not possible since [tex]x[/tex] is not a fraction

Substitute [tex]y=7[/tex]

[tex]3x+4\times 7=33\\\\3x=5\\\\x=\frac{5}{3}[/tex]

Not possible since [tex]x[/tex] is not a fraction

Substitute [tex]y=6[/tex]

[tex]3x+4\times 6=33\\\\3x=9\\\\x=\frac{9}{3}\\\\=3[/tex]

Possible

Hence minimum number of stamps is

[tex]=x+y\\\\=3+6\\\\=9[/tex]

graph 56x- 19= -8y + 5

Answers

Answer/Step-by-step explanation:

Solve

Before we begin graphing, we have to solve the equation. You cannot just graph the equation as it is now. Let us simplify it:

[tex]56x-19=-8y+5[/tex]

[tex]56x-19+19=-8y+5+19[/tex]                           [tex]\mathrm{Add\:}19\mathrm{\:to\:both\:sides}[/tex]                                            

[tex]56x=-8y+24[/tex]

[tex]\frac{56x}{56}=-\frac{8y}{56}+\frac{24}{56}[/tex]                                                 [tex]\mathrm{Divide\:both\:sides\:by\:}56[/tex]

[tex]\frac{56x}{56}=-\frac{8y}{56}+\frac{24}{56}[/tex][tex]\frac{56x}{56} = x\: (\mathrm{or}\: 1)[/tex][tex]-\frac{8y}{56}+\frac{24}{56}[/tex][tex]\frac{-8y+24}{56}[/tex][tex]\mathrm{Factor\:-8y+24}\\\mathrm{Rewrite\:as}\\=-8y+8\cdot \:3\\\mathrm{Factor\:out\:the\:common\:term\:8}\\=8\left(-y+3\right)\\\\=\frac{8\left(-y+3\right)}{56}\\\mathrm{Cancel\:the\:common\:factor:}\:8\\=\frac{-y+3}{7}[/tex]

[tex]\bold{x=\frac{-y+3}{7}}[/tex]

Graph

Now, we can graph. Graph the line using the slope and y-intercept, or two points.

MARKING BRAINLIEST In two or more complete sentences, explain how to use ordered palrs of points in f(x) = 2x+5 and g(x) = x-5/2 to
determine if f(x) and g(x) are inverses of each other

Answers

Answer:

It is very difficult to know because you did not include the function g(x), you only gave us f(x).

Given two lists of ordered pairs [x,f(x)] and [x,g(x)]. If for every ordered pair on the f(x) list the reverse is on the g(x) list the functions are inverses.

f(0) = 5 so for (0,5) on the f(x) list then (5,0) must be on the g(x) list

f(1) = 7 so for (1,7) on the f(x) list then (7,1) must be on the g(x) list

f(2) = 9 so for (2,9) on the f(x) list then (9,2) must be on the g(x) list

So even though you didn’t list g(x), g(x) = (x/2) - 5/2

Well, we know that if we have an ordered pair of points (a,b) that satisfy a function y=f(x), then the inverse function will necessarily have a set of points (b,a).

We can choose any set of point that satisfy our first function f(x). x=3 => f(3)=11 so our set of points will be (3,11). Now if g(x) is and inverse function of f(x), when we calculate g(11) it should be equal to 3. Let's see:

g(11) = (11-5)/2 = 3. It works.

We have proven that f(x) and g(x) are the inverses of each other.

Answer:

It will take 2 months for the' mane to grow 24/10 centimeters, because 24/10 divided by 6/5 = 24/10 x 5/6 would be 2 months.

What is a linear equation?

It is defined as the relation between two variables, if we plot the graph of the linear equation we will get a straight line.

If in the linear equation, one variable is present, then the equation is known as the linear equation in one variable.

We have:

A horse's mane grows at the rate of 6 over 5 centimeters per month.

Let x be a number of months.

(6/5)x = 24/10

6x = 12

x = 12/6 = 4/2 or

x = 2 months

Thus, it will take 4/2 months or 2 months for the horse's mane to grow 24/10 centimeters.

y=mx+b form (slope intercept form)

1) find slope

(4,-5) and (-4,1)

1-(-5)=6

-4-4=-8

m=6/-8 or 3/-4

y=-3/4x+b

Plug a coordinate in y=mx+b. Plug either (4,-5) or (-4,1)

in this case, I'll plug in (4,-5).

-5=-3/4(4)+b

Note that I substituted the y and x variables in place of one of the coordinates.

find b=-2.

The measure of side GH is 50.486 units.

Two triangles are similar if they share the same set of internal angles, that is, the following conditions are met:

[tex]\angle C \cong \angle F[/tex] (1)

[tex]\angle E \cong \angle H[/tex] (2)

[tex]\angle D \cong \angle G[/tex] (3)

Then, we can determine the length of the line segment [tex]GH[/tex] by the following relationship:

If we know that [tex]CD = 7[/tex], [tex]FG = 31[/tex] and [tex]DE = 11.4[/tex], then the value of the line segment [tex]GH[/tex] is:

Angel plans to get his new product into Walmart. If he plans to sell 10,000 units to Walmart at $45 each, but Walmart negotiates a 20% discount, how much revenue has Angel lost compared to his original plan?

Answers

Answer:

90,000

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to know how much money Angel plans to earn so you multiply 10,000 * 45 and that is 450,000. Then you find the 20% discount that Walmart negotiated so you turn 20% into a decimal. 20% as a decimal is 0.20 or 0.2. You then multiply 0.2 * 450,000 to get 90,000 which is the amount Walmart is discounting off. And if you need to find how much Angel is getting after the discount, subtract 90,000 from 450,000! :D I hope this helps!!

Answers

Ratio: 2/23 : 1/x

x is $11.5

So 1 pound of jelly beans cost $11.5

3/17 : 1/x

x is 5.67

So 1 pound of almonds cost $5.67

Answer:

Jellybeans are $2.25 per pound

Almonds are $1.25 per pound

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x = jelly beans Let y = almonds

Equation 1

5x + 3y = 15

Equation 2

2x + 6y = 12

Multiply Equation 1 by negative 2 to give

-10x - 6y = -30

Add this to Equation 2 to eliminate y

-10x  - 6y = -30       2x + 6y = 12

The y is eliminated leaving

-8x = -18

Divide both sides by negative 8 to give

x = 2.25

Substitute this value back into Equation 2 to solve for y

2x + 6y = 12    2(2.25) + 6y =12 .   4.50 + 6y = 12

Subtract 4.50 from both sides of the equation to give

6y = 7.50

Divide both sides by 6 to solve for y

y = 7.50/6

y= 1.25

Answers

Answer: x=32, y=45, z=45

Step-by-step explanation:

Now, x is cut in half on a flat plane which is a supplementary angle (2 angles that add up to 180 degrees) so just subtract 148 from 180 and you get 32.

Since a line cuts y and z equally in half and the line it is connected to is perpendicular (right angle), we can safely say both angles are equal to 45 degrees.
