Ben asked his 19 classmates whether they were right handed or left-handed. There were five more right handed classmates than left handed classmates. Write a system of equations that can be used to determine how many of Ben’s classmates were right and left handed.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

left handed = 7 ; right handed = 12

Step-by-step explanation:

r = right handed

l = left handed

r + l = 19

r = l + 5

If we use substitution method we have:

l +5 + l = 19

2 l = 14

l = 7

r = 7 + 5 = 12

Answer 2

Answers:

The system of equations is

[tex]\begin{cases}y = x-5\\x+y = 19\end{cases}[/tex]

where x and y is the number of right-handed and left-handed people respectively.

The system solves to (x,y) = (12,7)

Interpretation:

There are  12   right-handed people and  7   left-handed people in the class.

=========================================================

Explanation:

x = number of right-handed people

y = number of left-handed people

x and y are positive whole numbers.

There are 5 more right-handed people compared to left-handed people, so we can say x = y+5 which is the same as y = x-5. So you could go for either equation. Let's go for the one where y is isolated.

The second equation to form is x+y = 19 because there are 19 people in the class, and you can only be one or the other (left-handed or right-handed but not both). I'm not considering the possibility anyone is ambidextrous though of course that may happen in a realistic setting.

The two equations then form the system

[tex]\begin{cases}y = x-5\\x+y = 19\end{cases}[/tex]

There are a number of ways we can solve this system. Substitution is possibly the quickest way.

x+y = 19

x+(x-5) = 19 ... replace y with x-5; due to the first equation

2x-5 = 19

2x = 19+5

2x = 24

x = 24/2

x = 12 .... this is the number of right-handed people

y = x-5

y = 12-5

y = 7 .... this is the number of left-handed people

Two containers are used to hold liquid. These containers have exactly the same shape. The first container has a height of , and it can hold of liquid. If the second container has a height of , how much liquid can it hold?

Answers

The second container can hold (1000/3) x h2 cubic centimeters of liquid.

What is an expression?

An expression contains one or more terms with addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

We always combine the like terms in an expression when we simplify.

We also keep all the like terms on one side of the expression if we are dealing with two sides of an expression.

Example:

1 + 3x + 4y = 7 is an expression.com

3 + 4 is an expression.

2 x 4 + 6 x 7 – 9 is an expression.

33 + 77 – 88 is an expression.

We have,

We can use the concept of similar shapes to solve this problem.

Since the two containers have exactly the same shape, the ratio of their corresponding dimensions (height, width, and length) will be the same. Let's denote the height of the second container by h2.

Now,

The first container has a height of h1 and can hold v1 units of liquid.

Since the containers have the same shape, the ratio of their heights will be the same as the ratio of their volumes.

So,

h2/h1 = (volume of container 2) / (volume of container 1)

Solving for the volume of container 2.

(volume of container 2) = (h2/h1) x (volume of container 1)

Substituting the given values, we get:

(volume of container 2) = (h2/3) x (1000)

where we have converted 1 liter to 1000 cubic centimeters.

Simplifying this expression.

(volume of container 2) = (1000/3) x h2

Therefore,

The second container can hold (1000/3) x h2 cubic centimeters of liquid.

A 45 foot ladder is set against the side of a house so that it reaches up 27 feet. If Nicole grabs the ladder at its base and pulls it 4 feet farther from the house, how far up the side of the house will the ladder reach now? (The answer is not 23 ft.) Round to the nearest tenth of a foot.

Answers

Mark Brainliest please.

Answer : The ladder will reach 20.6 feet.

Explanation:

Refer the image attached for explanation

The ladder will reach a height of 20.6 feet

The given parameters are:

Length = 45-footHeight = 27 feet

Start by calculating how far (d) the ladder is, from the bottom of the house using the following Pythagoras theorem

[tex]45^2 = 27^2 +d^2[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]d^2= 45^2 -27^2[/tex]

[tex]d^2= 1296[/tex]

Take square roots of both sides

[tex]d= 36[/tex]

When the ladder is moved 4 feet farther, the new distance becomes

[tex]d= 36+4[/tex]

[tex]d= 40[/tex]

The new height (h) of the ladder is then calculated using the following Pythagoras theorem

[tex]45^2=40^2 + h^2[/tex]

Collect like terms

[tex]h^2 = 45^2-40^2[/tex]

[tex]h^2 = 425[/tex]

Take the square roots of both sides

[tex]h = 20.6[/tex]

Hence, the ladder will reach a height of 20.6 feet

If using the method of completing the square to solve the quadratic equation
x2 + 7x + 10 = 0, which number would have to be added to "complete the
square"?

Answers

Answer:

x² + 7x + 10 = 0

Subtract 10 from both sides

x² + 7x = -10

Use half the x coefficent (7/2) as the complete the square term

(x + 7/2)² = -10 + (7/2)²

   note: the number added to "complete the square" is (7/2)² = 49/4

(x + 7/2)² = -10 + 49/4

(x + 7/2)² = 9/4

Take the square root of both sides

x + 7/2 = ±3/2

Subtract 7/2 from both sides

x = -7/2 ± 3/2

x = {-5, -2}

not sure tho____________

Answer:

83 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

The exterior angle of a triangle can be find by adding up the two inner angles that are not adjacent, so

43 + x = 126

x = 83 degrees

Second way

exterior angle + inner angle = 180

126 + inner angle = 180

inner angle = 54

the sum of the inner angles of a triangle is 180 degrees

54 + 43 + x = 180

97 + x = 180

x = 83 degrees

In the later afternoon on a sunny day, Shanice goes outside with a tape measure. She first measures her shadow which is 7 feet 6 inches long. She then measures the shadow of the oak tree in the back yard which is a whopping 74 feet 3 inches. Not content to stop there, she also measures the shadow of her house (taking the longest measurement possible) and finds that it is 28 feet 6 inches. Using this information, find out how much taller the tree is than the house if Shanice's actual height is 5 feet 10 inches.

Answers

Answer:

29 feets 3 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We need to obtain the actual height of oak tree :

Converting measurement to inches :.

1 Feet = 12 inches

Shanice height, SA = 5ft 10 in = (12*5 + 10) = 70 in

Shanice shadow, SS = 7ft 6in = (12*7 + 6) = 90 in

Tree shadow, TS = 74ft 3 in =(12*74 + 3) = 891 in

Let actual tree height = TH

Using the relation :

SA / SS = TH / TS

70 / 90 = TH / 891

Cross multiply :

90 * TH = 891 * 70

TH = (891 * 70) / 90

TH = 693 inches

Height of house = 28ft 6 in = (28*12 + 6) = 342 in

Height difference :

(693 - 342) in = 351 inches

351 in / 12 = 29 feets 3 inches

A garden that is 14 feet by 17 feet will have a pedestrian pathway on the border, making the combined area of the garden and the border 311 square feet what is the width of the pathway

Answers

Answer:

The width of the pathway is 5.2 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the shape of the garden and the walkway is a rectangle, the walkway would have the same length as the garden but would have it's own width.

Let the width of the garden be W and that of the walkway be t while the length of both the garden and walkway is L. The combined area A

= L( W + t)

Given that the combined area of the garden and the border 311 square feet while the garden is  14 feet by 17 feet

311 = 14 (17 + t)

311 = 238 + 14t

14t = 311 - 238

14t = 73

t = 73/14
