Towns A, B, C, and X are located along a straight highway. Town B is between A and C, and the distance from A to C is
41 miles. BC is 2 miles more than twice AB.
Town X is between A and B, 6 miles from A. Find XC.
a. 13 miles
c. 41 miles
b. 28 miles
d. 35 miles

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:  35 miles, but this is not an answer option.

Step-by-step explanation:

A   X   B       C

AC = 41 miles

BC = 2AB + 2  

AX = 6

AX + XC = 41        [This is the key equation.  We want XC and AX is given as 6]

6 + XC = 41          

XC = 35 miles

None of the answer options show this value.

I don't know why, since:

a.  "the distance from A to C is 41 miles." means AC = 41, and

b.  "Town X is between A and B, 6 miles from A" means AX = 6

If we say that AX + XC = 41, then 6 + XC = 41 and XC = 35

I don't know why this would be incorrect, so I'll leave it to someone else to spot the problem.

What number should be placed in the box to help complete the division calculation? (1 point) Long division setup showing an incomplete calculation. 19 is in the divisor, 8216 is in the dividend, and 4 hundreds and 3 tens is written in the quotient. 7600 is subtracted from 8216 to give 616. An unknown value represented by a box is being subtracted from 616.

Answers

Answer:

The unknown value is being subtracted from 702 is 650

Step-by-step explanation:

Long division setup showing an incomplete calculation

13 is in the divisor

3302 is in the dividend

2 hundreds and 5 tens is written in the quotient

2600 is subtracted from 3302 to give 702

An unknown value represented by a box is being subtracted from 702

We need to find this number

Lets write the steps above

∵ The dividend = 3302

∵ The divisor = 13

- 2 hundreds means 200 and 5 tens means 50

∵ The quotient = 200 + 50 + x

∵ Dividend = divisor × quotient

∴ (13 × 200) + (13 × 50) + (13 × x) = 3302

∵ 13 × 200 = 2600

- Subtract 2600 from the dividend

∴ 3302 - 2600 = 702

∵ 13 × 50 = 650

∴ 702 - 650 = 52 ⇒ 650 is the unknown value

∵ 13 × x = 13x

∵ 52 - 13x = 0

- Add 13 x to both sides

∴ 52 = 13x

- Divide both sides by 13

∴ x = 4

∴ 3302 ÷ 13 = 200 + 50 + 4

∴ 3302 ÷ 13 = 254

∴ From the steps above the missing number subtracted from

  702 is 650

Jim wants to build a rectangular parking lot along a busy street but only has 1,800 feet of fencing available. If no fencing is required along the street, find the maximum area of the parking lot.

Answers

The largest area would be a square shape.

A square has 4 equal sides:

1800/4 = 450

Now because the street side doesn't have fencing, add that side length to one side of the fencing:

450 +450 = 900

Now the fence would have two widths of 450 feet and one length of 900 feet.

Area = length x width = 450 x 900 = 405,000 square feet.

What must the value of B be if the following linear system has an infinite number of solutions
Y = -3x + 6
By- 9x + 18 = 0​

Answers

Condition for infinite number of solutions (coincident lines) :-

=》a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ = c₁/c₂

Equations :-

1) y = -3x + 6

=》y + 3x - 6 = 0

2) By - 9x + 18 = 0

Here,

a₁ = 1, a₂ = B

b₁ = 3, b₂ = -9

c₁ = -6, c₂ = 18

Now substitute..

a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂ = c₁/c₂

=》1/B = 3/-9 = -6/18

=》1/B = -3/9 = -6/18

Now,

=》a₁/a₂ = b₁/b₂

=》1/B = -3/9 (cross multiplication)

=》1 × 9 = -3B

=》9 = -3B

=》9/-3 = B

=》-3 = B

OR

=》a₁/a₂ = c₁/c₂

=》1/B = -6/18 (cross multiplication)

=》1 × 18 = -6B

=》 18 = -6B

=》18/-6 = B

=》-3 = B

The value of B if the following linear system has an infinite number of solutions is -3.
