Together Jason and Judy have read 24 mystery novels. Judy has read less than three times as many as Jason. How many mystery novels have each of them read.

Answers

Answer 1

Omitted / Incomplete Question : Judy has read 4 Less than three times as many as Jason

Answer:Jason has read  7 mystery novels and Judy has read  17 mystery novels

Step-by-step explanation:

Total number of mystery books read by  Jason and Judy =24

Let Number of mystery books read by Jason=x

and  Number of mystery books read by Judy= 3x-4

So that the total number of book read by both of them will be expressed as

x +(3x-4) =24

x +3x-4 =24

4x=24+4

4x=28

x=28/4=7

There fore  Jason has read  7 mystery novels

and Judy = 3x-4 = 3 X 7- 4 =21-4=17mystery novels

jess solved the quadratic equation x^2+2x = 8 but made a mistake. her work is shown below. identify the step(s) in which a mistake was made

Answers

Answer:

x value would be 2

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation is shown below:

Given that

x^2 + 2x = 8

x^2 + 2x - 8 = 0

x^2 + 4x - 2x - 8 = 0

x(x + 4) - 2(x + 4) = 0

(x - 2) (x  + 4) = 0

So, x value would be 2

x - 2 = 0

x = 2

The perimeter of the square is 64 inches. What is the perimeter of the shaded region?

Answers

Answer:

54.94 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First you need to find the radius of the semi-circles within the square.

You find this by dividing the perimeter by 8

64/8 = 8

now use the formula πr^2 to find the area of the semi circle

π8^2 = 201.06

Now find the total area of the square and subtract it from the area of the two semi circles to find the shaded region

16*16 = 256

256-201.06 = 54.94

If time is four hours from now, the time left till midnight would be quarter that if it is one hour from now. What time is it now?

Answers

Answer:

The time now is 7 pm

Step-by-step explanation:

Suppose that now is the time T.

We know that:

"if time is four hours from now, the time left till midnight would be a quarter that if it is one hour from now".

Then:

if we define midnight as 12, and we assume that T is in the pm range.

Then the "time left till midnigth, assuming that the time is four hours from now" will be written as (12 - (T + 4))

With this in mind, we can write the problem as:

12 - (T + 4) = (1/4)*( 12 - (T + 1))

Now we can solve this for T.

12 - T - 4 = (1/4)*(12 - T - 1)

8 - T = (1/4)*(11 - T)

4*(8 - T) = 11 - T

32 - 4*T = 11 - T

32 - 11  = -T + 4*T

21 = 3*T

21/3 = T

7 = T

Then T = 7 pm

The time now is 7 pm

Answer:

[tex]y = \frac{1}{3} x-4[/tex]  

Step-by-step explanation:

1) First, find the slope of the line. Use the slope formula, [tex]m = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1}[/tex]. Substitute the x and y values of the given points into the formula and solve:

[tex]m=\frac{(-2)-(-3)}{(6)-(3)} \\m = \frac{-2+3}{6-3} \\m = \frac{1}{3}[/tex]

Thus, the slope is [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex].

2) Next, write the equation of the line using the point-slope formula [tex]y-y_1 = m (x-x_1)[/tex]. (From there, we can convert it to slope-intercept form.) Substitute [tex]m[/tex], [tex]x_1[/tex], and [tex]y_1[/tex] for real values.

Since [tex]m[/tex] represents the slope, substitute [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] for it. Since [tex]x_1[/tex] and [tex]y_1[/tex] represent the x and y values of one point the line intersects, substitute the x and y values of either one of the given points (it doesn't matter which one, it will equal the same thing) into the formula as well. I chose (3, -3), as shown below. From there, convert the point-slope form of the equation to slope-intercept form by isolating y:

[tex]y-(-3) = \frac{1}{3} (x-3)\\y + 3=\frac{1}{3} x-1\\y = \frac{1}{3} x-4[/tex]

(Inequalities) what do you have to do when multiplying or dividing by a negative number?

Answers

Answer:

When we multiply or divide by a negative to solve an inequality, it's the same as multiplying or dividing by a negative to solve a regular equation! Just remember to multiply or divide both sides by the same quantity, then simplify! Remember, when multiplying or dividing by a negative YOU MUST FLIP THE INEQUALITY SIGN.

Step-by-step explanation:

You are welcome.

And I hope this helps.      :)

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

If you begin with an inequality and wish to solve for one of the variables, you must isolate that variable on the right side of a new inequality.  Now supposing that that variable is negative in the given inequality, and that you must change that sign to positive.  Generally you can either multiply every term in the given inequality by -1 or divide every term by -1.  In both cases you must change the direction of the inequality sign.

Example:  Given -3x > 2 + 5y, solve for x.  To do this, multiply all three terms in the inequality by (-1/3), which yields x on the left and -2/3 - (5/3)y on the right.  We must reverse the direction of the inequality sign, so the final answer is  x < -2/3 - (5/3)y.

C. [tex]\frac{9}{17}[/tex] lb per person

D. 36 people

Answers

Answer:    1/4

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Here is the complete question: Find the rate of change for the situation:

A chef cooks 9 lbs of chicken for 36 people and 17 lbs of chicken for 68 people.

Given: 1st situation, A chef cook 9 lbs chicken for 36 people.

          2nd situation, chef cook 17 lbs chicken for 68 people.

∴ 1st situation, weight of chicken per person=  

 Weight of chicken per person=  

2nd situation, weight of chicken per person=  

Weight of chicken per person=  

In both the situation chef cook same amount of chicken per person, which is  

∴ Rate of change is

Step-by-step explanation:

There are several important information's already given in the question. Based on those information's the answer can be easily deduced.

In the first case,

The amount of chicken the chef cooks for 36 people = 9 pounds

Then

The amount of chicken the chef cooks for 1 person = 9/36

                                                                                 = 1/4 pounds

Now let us take the second case

The amount of chicken the chef cooks for 68 people = 17 pounds

Then

The amount of chicken the chef cooks for 1 person = 17/68

                                                                                 = 1/4 pounds

From the above deductions, it can be concluded that the correct option among all the options given in the question is the third option or option "B".
