Students in a poetry class are writing poems for their portfolios. The teacher wants them to write stanzas with certain numbers of lines each. Lucy wrote 9 short stanzas and 9 long stanzas, for a total of 198 lines. Quincy wrote 9 short stanzas and 6 long stanzas, for a total of 156 lines. How many lines do the two sizes of stanzas contain?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

x = 8

y = 14

the short stanzas contain 8 lines

the long stanzas contain 14 lines

Step-by-step explanation:

lets call the short stanzas x

and the long stanzas y

using given information, you can make this equation

9x + 9y = 198

you can also make this equation

9x + 6y = 156

simplify the first equation

9x + 9y = 198

9x = 198 - 9y

x = 198/9 - y

x = 22 - y

substitute x for 22 - y in the second equation to find y

9(22 - y) + 6y = 156

198 - 9y + 6y = 156

-9y + 6y = -42

-3y = -42

y = 14

substitute y for 14 in the first equation to find x

9x + 9y = 198

9x + 9*14 = 198

9x + 126 = 198

9x = 198-126

9x = 72

x = 72/9

x = 8

By applying the definition of logarithm, you have

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x be the number of hours Maria work per week.

We have 0.75 * $4.76x - $25 >= $100.

Therefore 0.75 * $4.76x >= $125,

$4.76x >= $166.66

x >= 35.014

Hence Maria have to work at least 36 hours per week.

y - 7/8 = 3/4

what is y


;-;

Answers

Answer:

y = 13/8

Step-by-step explanation:

Here are the steps I did:

1. y - 7/8 = 3/4 x 2/2

2. y - 7/8 + 7/8 = 6/8 + 7/8

3. y = 13/8

Answer:

Y in (-oo:+oo) Y- (7/8) = 3/4 // - 3/4. Y- (7/8)- (3/4) = 0. Y-7/8-3/4 = 0. Y-13/8 = 0 // + 13/8. Y = 13/8. Y = 13/8.

Step-by-step explanation:

I have 10 goats, n of which are male. I need to choose 2 of them to make a casserole.

The probability both of my choices are male is 2/15


Use the information to form an appropriate quadratic equation N square + an + b = 0, specifying the constants a and b.

Answers

Answer: There are 4 male goats.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that n of the 10 goats are male.

The probability that in a random selection, the selected goat is a male, is equal to the quotient between the number of male goats (n) and the total number of goats (10)

The probability is;

p = n/10

Now the total number of goats is 9, and the number of male goats is n -1

then the probability of selecting a male goat again is:

q = (n-1)/9

The joint probability (the probability that the two selected goats are male) is equal to the product of the individual probabilities, this is

P = p*q = (n/10)*((n-1)/9)

And we know that this probability is equal to 2/15

Then we have:

(n/10)*((n-1)/9) = 2/15

(n*(n-1))/90 = 2/15

n*(n-1) = 90*2/15 = 12

n^2 - n = 12

n^2 - n - 12  = 0

This is a quadratic equation, we can find the solutions if we use Bhaskara's formula:

For an equation:

a*x^2  + b*x + c =  0

The two solutions are given by:

[tex]x = \frac{-b +- \sqrt{b^2 - 4*a*c} }{2*a}[/tex]

For our case, the solutions will be:

[tex]n = \frac{1 +- \sqrt{(-1)^2 - 4*1*(-12)} }{2*1 } = \frac{1+- 7}{2}[/tex]

The two solutions are:

n = (1 - 7)/2 = -3    (this solution does not make sense, we can not have a negative number of goats)

The other solution is:

n = (1 + 7)/2 = 4

This solution does make sense, this means that we have 4 male goats.

At the neighborhood grocery, 4.5 pounds of chicken breast cost $53.28. Benjamin
spent $59.20 on chicken breast. How many pounds of chicken breast did he buy, to
the nearest hundredth of a pound?

Answers

If my math is correct this should be a simple equation. First you’d start off by figuring out how much money chicken costs per one pound.
53.28 / 4.5 = $11.84 per pound
Now take how much money the chicken costs per pound and divide it by how much Benjamin spent.
59.20 / 11.84 = 5 pounds
Your answer should be exactly 5 pounds
I apologize if this is incorrect math, but the equation seems simple at first glance.

What is the image point of (4,-7)(4,−7) after a translation right 4 units and up 5 units?

Answers

(X+4, Y+5)
A(4,-7)
A’(8,-2)
B(4,-7)
B’(8,-2)

A&B are the original
A’&B’ are the translated

The new coordinate of point (4,−7) after a translation right 4 units and up 5 units is (8,-2).

What is the transformation of a graph?

Transformation is rearranging a graph by a given rule it could be either increment of coordinate or decrement or reflection.

If we reflect any graph about y = x then the coordinate will interchange it that (x,y) → (y,x).

Given the point (4,-7)

If we transformed any point (x,y) to 4 units right then it will add in x so x + 4, and 5 units up then it will add in y so y + 5.

So,

4 units right → 4 + 4 = 8

5 units up → -7 + 5 = -2

So the new coordinate will be (8,-2)

Hence "The new coordinate of point (4,−7) after a translation right 4 units and up 5 units are (8,-2)".
