Wesley is raising monarch caterpillars for a school science project. Every day, he feeds 7 fresh milkweed leaves to each caterpillar. Wesley wants to find out how many caterpillars he can feed in a day with a total of 42 leaves. Write an equation that can be solved for n to find the number of caterpillars he can feed in a day?

Answers

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Let n be the number of caterpillars.

Since each catepillar eats 7 leaves,

Wesley have 7n number of leaves.

In this case 7n = 42, so n = 6.

Answer 2

Answer: 7n = 42, n = 6.

Explanation:

Every caterpillar eats 7 milkweed leaves. That means [tex]n[/tex] is the number of caterpillars Wesley feeds every day. Since we know 7n is equal to 42, n = 6 because 42 ÷ 7 = 6.

Which theorem(s) can you use to prove that the two triangles are congruent?

Answers

Answer:

To prove the congruence between two triangles there are several postulates, that can be applied depending on the congruent parts of the triangles.

The postulates are:

SAS (Side-Angle-Side): This postulate states that if two triangles have two corresponding sides congruent and one corresponding angle congruent, we can conclude that those triangles are completely congruent.

ASA (Angle-Side-Angle): This postulate states that if two triangles have two corresponding angles congruent and one corresponding side congruent, then those triangles are congruent.

SSS (Side-Side-Side): This postulate states that if two triangles have all three corresponding sides congruent, then triangles are congruent.

AAS (Angle-Angle-Side): If two pairs of corresponding angles are congruent and one pair of corresponding sides is congruent, then both triangle are congruent each other.

HL (Hypothenuse-Leg): this postulate is applied when we have right angles. It states that two right triangles are congruent if they have one pair of corresponding leg congruent, and the hypothenuses are also congruent. We could conclude that those right triangles are congruent.

From these postulate, we can demonstrate the congruence between two triangles. Then, from that congruence, we deduct the congruence between each corresponding parts of those triangles. For example, if we demonstrate the congruence by AAS, we deduct that the third angle is also congruent, and the other two sides are also congruent.

x + y = 42, xy = 108 then what is x and y. Is there any (non-quadratic)formula for finding this instead of the process of elimination

Answers

Answer:

when x = 39.25, y = 2.75

when x = 2.75, x = 39.25

Step-by-step explanation:

use substitution method

x+y = 42 ------ (1)

xy = 108 ------ (2)

from (1) ,

x+y = 42

y = 42-x ------ (3)

substitute (3) into (2)

xy = 108

x( 42-x ) = 108

42x - x² = 108

-x² + 42x - 108 = 0

x² - 42x + 108 = 0

use the following formula to solve the value of x:

[tex]i) \: x = \frac{ - b + \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} \: \\ ii) \: x = \frac{ - b - \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac } }{2a} [/tex]

a = 1

b = -42

c = 108

[tex]i) \: x = \frac{ - b + \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{ - ( - 42) + \sqrt{( - 42) {}^{2} - 4(1)(108)} }{2(1)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 + \sqrt{1764 - 432} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 + \sqrt{1332} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 + 6 \sqrt{37} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = 21 + 3 \sqrt{37} [/tex]

[tex]x = 39.25[/tex]

[tex]ii) \: x \: \frac{ - b - \sqrt{ {b}^{2} - 4ac} }{2a} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{ - ( - 42) - \sqrt{( - 42) {}^{2} - 4(1)(108} }{2(1)} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 - \sqrt{1764 - 432} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 - \sqrt{1332} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = \frac{42 - 6 \sqrt{37} }{2} [/tex]

[tex]x = 21 - 3 \sqrt{37} [/tex]

[tex]x = 2.75[/tex]

the 2 values of x are x = 39.25 and x = 2.75

substitute x = 39.25 into (3)

y = 42-x

y = 42-39.25

y = 2.75

substitute x = 2.75 into (3)

y = 42-x

y = 42-2.75

y = 39.25

when x = 39.25, y = 2.75

when x = 2.75, x = 39.25

If I buy a sweatshirt for $30, and the sales tax is 7% in my state, how much will I pay for the sweatshirt, including the sales tax?

Answers

Answer:

$32.10

Step-by-step explanation:

If you have sales tax, you would first convert the percentage to decimal, or 0.07. Then you would take this number, and add it to one before you multiply it by the price of the sweatshirt. This makes sure that you're not just calculating the sales tax, but the overall price of the shirt. So if you multiply:

30 x 1.07 = 32.1

Add the units, and you get $32.10

Hope this helps!

Which statement is true about the value of |-5|? It is the distance that -5 is form 0 on the number line. It is the distance that -5 from 5 on the number line. It is less than 5. It is greater than 5.

Answers

Answer: It is the distance that -5 is form 0 on the number line

Step-by-step explanation:

We can define the absolute value of any number:

IxI as:

"The distance between the point x and the origin in the coordinate axis"

If we are in one dimension, x is just a value, and the coordinate axis will be a number line.

Then we could rewrite this as:

"is the distance between the value x and the 0 in the number line"

So:

IxI = x if x > 0

IxI = -x if x < 0.

Then:

I -5 I

Is the distance between the number -5, and the 0 in the number line, and this is:

I - 5 I = 5.

The correct option is:

"It is the distance that -5 is form 0 on the number line"

Neil's regular wage is $ 11 per hour. He gets $ 15.50 per hour for overtime. He was paid for 160 regular hours and 50 hours of overtime. How much was his total paycheck?

Answers

Answer:

$2535

Step-by-step explanation:

First, find the the pay he received for the regular hours worked.  To find this, you must multiply the hours worked by his wage.

$11 × 160 = $1760

Next find the the pay received for overtime.  Do the same process as above.

$15.50 × 50 = $775

Now that you have the pay for regular hours and overtime hours, add the two amounts together to find the amount for his total paycheck.

$1760 + $775 = $2535

Each batch of 48 cookies that Amy makes takes 20 minutes in the oven. If the oven is on for 3 hours and 55 minutes (15 minutes for preheating), how many cookies did Amy bake?

Answers

Answer:

528 cookies

Step-by-step explanation:

3 hours is 180 minutes

55 minutes - the 15 for preheating is 40 minutes

180 minutes + 40 minutes = 220 (total time she could've had cookies in the oven)

220 divided by 20 is 11 (total batches of cookies)

11 times 48 is 528

Sorry if my answer is confusing lol

The total number of cookies that Amy baked is 528 cookies.

What is the Subtraction operation?

Subtraction is a mathematical operation that deducts the right-hand operand from the left-hand operand.

for example 4 -2 = 2

To solve this problem, we need to convert the total time the oven was on (3 hours and 55 minutes) into minutes.

Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, the total time the oven was on in minutes is : 3 hours x 60 minutes/hour + 55 minutes = 235 minutes.

We need to subtract the time the oven was preheating (15 minutes) from the total time the oven was on to get the time that was spent baking cookies. This gives us a total of 235 minutes - 15 minutes = 220 minutes of baking time.

Since each batch of cookies takes 20 minutes to bake, the number of batches of cookies that Amy baked is :

220 minutes / 20 minutes/batch = 11 batches.

Since each batch contains 48 cookies,

So, the total number of cookies that Amy baked is :

11 batches × 48 cookies/batch = 528 cookies.

Thus, Amy baked 528 cookies overall altogether.

Given the polynomial 5x32x2+12, what is the leading coefficient? ******( I"LL GIVE YOU BRAINIEST)!!!******A. -2B. 3C. 5D. 12 At the age of 22, Mrs. LaBlanc was less than 4 feet tall. Her short stature was probably influenced by the lack of a growth hormone produced by the Budgeting, ethics, pharmaceutical company. Chris Jackson was recently promoted to Controller of Research and Development for BrisC or, a Fortune 500 pharmaceutical company that manufactures prescription drugs and nutritional supplements. The companys total R&amp ; D cost for 2017 was expected (budgeted) to be $5 billion. During the companys midyear budget review, Chris realized that current R&amp ; D expenditures were already at $3.5 billion, nearly 40% above the midyear target. At this current rate of expenditure, the R&amp ; D division was on track to exceed its total year-end budget by $2 billion!In a meeting with CFO Ronald Meece later that day, Jackson delivered the bad news. Meece was both shocked and outraged that the R&D spending had gotten out of control. Meece wasnt any more understanding when Jackson revealed that the excess cost was entirely related to research and development of a new drug, Vyacon, which was expected to go to market next year. The new drug would result in large profits for BrisCor, if the product could be approved by year-end. Meece had already announced his expectations of third-quarter earnings to Wall Street analysts. If the R&D expenditures werent reduced by the end of the third quarter, Meece was certain that the targets he had announced publicly would be missed and the companys stock price would tumble. Meece instructed Jackson to make up the budget shortfall by the end of the third quarter using "whatever means necessary." Jackson was new to the controllers position and wanted to make sure that Meeces orders were followed. Jackson came up with the following ideas for making the third-quarter budgeted targets:1. Stop all research and development efforts on the drug Vyacon until after year-end. This change would delay the drug going to market by at least 6 months. It is possible that in the meantime a BrisCor competitor could make it to market with a similar drug.2. Sell off rights to the drug Martek. The company had not planned on doing this because, under current market conditions, it would get less than fair value. It would, however, result in a one-time gain that could offset the budget shortfall. Of course, all future profits from Martek would be lost. Capitalize some of the companys R&D expenditures, reducing R&D expense on the income statement. This transaction would not be in accordance with GAAP, but Jackson thought it was justifiable because the Vyacon drug was going to market early next year. Jackson would argue that capitalizing R&D costs this year and expensing them next year would better match revenues and expenses.3.
