Four boys, Kurt, Marcus, Nathaniel, and Steven, all collect baseball cards. They recently met to show each other some of the cards they had collected. Each boy brought a different amount of cards with them. Nathaniel brought twice as many as Steven, Marcus had four less than Nathaniel, but one more than Kurt. All together, they have 47 cars. How many cars did Kurt bring?

Answers

Answer 1

Steven's cards = x

Nathaniel's cards = 2x

Marcus' cards = 2x - 4

Kurt's cards = 2x - 5

Since the sum of the cards is equal to 47, let's set all the cards equal to 47

x + 2x + 2x - 4 + 2x - 5 = 47

Combine like terms.

7x - 9 = 47

Add 9 to both sides

7x = 56

Divide both sides by 7

x = 8

Let's plug 8 into x for Kurt's cards.

Kurt's cards = 2x - 5 = 2(8) - 5 = 16 - 5 = 11 cards.

n-8=-4+5n solve for n.

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Hey there!!!

Here,

Firstly, Shift n to right side and -4 to the left side, because we always try to have variable as positive.

[tex] - 8+4 = + 5n-n[/tex]

Now, Simplify them.

[tex] - 8 + 4 = 5n - n[/tex]

[tex] - 4 = 4n[/tex]

You should divide now.

[tex]n = \frac{ - 4}{4} [/tex]

Therefore the value of n is -1.

{ As now you can keep it on left side. We generally find the vallue of variable by keeping it on left side. But we kept it right side in solution to avoid our confusion because if we kept it on left side and you would get harder to find the value at last as we need to transpose (-) to the right side value of n}.

If t = -3, what is
[tex] \sqrt{6 - 25t} [/tex]

Answers

Answer:

[tex]9[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

So we have the expression:

[tex]\sqrt{6-25t}[/tex]

And we want to find the value of the expression when t is -3.

So, substitute -3 for t:

[tex]\sqrt{6-25(-3)}[/tex]

Multiply:

[tex]=\sqrt{6+75}[/tex]

Add:

[tex]=\sqrt{81}[/tex]

Evaluate:

[tex]=9[/tex]

So, our answer is 9.

And we're done!

If t=-3, then the square root would look like this:
6-75 squared. 6-75 is 69. 69 squared is 8.3.

(b) B. I, and I are distinct points that are collinear.
(c) Another name for plane X is plane I.
(d) E, I, I, and I are distinct points that are coplanar.

Answers

Answer:

a) FC ←→ and BD ←→ are distinct lines that intersect.

b) B , C and D are distinct points that are collinear.

c) Another name for plane [tex]X[/tex] is plane AEF.

d) E , A , F and C are distinct points that are coplanar.  

Step-by-step explanation:

The first step to solve this question is to look carefully at the picture.

For a) :

We can see that the line FC and the line BD intersect at the point C.

We can write :

a) FC ←→ and BD ←→ are distinct lines that intersect (we can see more lines that intersect with FC ←→ in the picture such as AC ←→  or AE ←→).

For b) :

We can see that the line BD ←→ passes through the points B , C and D (B , C and D are collinear points).  

We can write :

b) B , C and D are distinct points that are collinear.

For c) :

We can name any plane using three points which are contain in the plane but this three points must not be collinear points.

We can name the plane [tex]X[/tex] using the points A , E and F (this is a possible solution).

We can write :

c) Another name for plane [tex]X[/tex] is plane AEF.

Finally, for d) :

Two or more points are coplanar wherever they belong to the same plane.

In the picture, the points A , E , F and C belong to the plane [tex]X[/tex].

We can write :

d) E , A , F and C are distinct points that are coplanar.

Ronald rents a car from Cheap Rent-a-Car for $25 plus $0.05 per mile. Dixon rents a car
from Great Cars for S40 plus $0.03 per mile. How many miles must they both drive for
their rental fees to be the same?

Answers

Answer:

750 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

Ronald

Rental fee = fixed cost + variable cost

= $25 + $0.05x

Where x = number of miles

Dixon

Rental fee = fixed cost + variable cost

= $40 + $0.03x

How many miles must they both drive for their rental fees to be the same?

Equate the two equations

$25 + $0.05x = $40 + $0.03x

Collect like terms

0.05x - 0.03x = 40 - 25

0.02x = 15

Divide both sides by 0.02

x = 15 / 0.02

= 750 miles

Write the equation g(x) of the transformation of the parent graph f(x) = |x| stretched vertically by a factor of 2, reflected over the x-axis, and translated left 1 unit and down 3 units.

Answers

Answer:

g(x) = -2|x+1| -3

Step-by-step explanation:

f(x) = |x|

y = f(x) + C C < 0 moves it down

y = |x| -3  for  shifting down 3

y = f(x + C) C > 0 moves it left

y = |x+1| -3 for move it left 1

y = Cf(x)  C > 1 stretches it in the y-direction

y = 2|x+1| -3 to stretch it 2 vertically

y = −f(x)  Reflects it about x-axis

y = -2|x+1| -3

We start off with f(x) = |x|

c < 0 means move down

y = f(x) + c

3 units down

After: y = |x| - 3

c > 0 means move left

y = f(x + c)

1 unit left

After: y = |x + 1| - 3

c > 1 means y direction stretch

y = cf(x)

2 unit stretch

After: y = 2|x + 1| - 3

Reflect across x-axis can be stated as y = -f(x)

After: y = -2|x + 1| - 3
