A recycling center pays $0.10 per aluminum can and $0.05 per plastic bottle. The Cheerleading squad wants to raise $500. Let x represent aluminum cans and y represent plastic bottles. Use this description to answer all questions in this section.

Answers

Answer 1

Question:

(a) Write a linear equation that describes the problem

(b). If the cheerleading squad collects 6000 plastic bottles, how many cans will it need to collect to reach the goal?

Answer:

a. [tex]0.10x + 0.05y = 500[/tex]

b. 2000 cans

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the following:

[tex]Cost = \$0.10[/tex] per aluminum

[tex]Cost = \$0.05[/tex] per plastic bottle

[tex]Total = \$500[/tex]

Solving (a): The linear equation.

If 1 aluminum can costs $0.10,

x cans would cost $0.10x

If 1 plastic bottle costs $0.05,

y bottles would cost $0.05y

Total Cost:

[tex]Aluminum + Plastic = Total[/tex]

[tex]0.10x + 0.05y = 500[/tex]

b.

If y = 6000.

Solve for x

We have:

[tex]0.10x + 0.05y = 500[/tex]

Substitute 6000 for y

[tex]0.10x + 0.05* 6000 = 500[/tex]

[tex]0.10x + 300= 500[/tex]

Collect Like Terms

[tex]0.10x = 500 - 300[/tex]

[tex]0.10x = 200[/tex]

Solve for x

[tex]x = 200/0.10[/tex]

[tex]x = 2000[/tex]

Mark uses 10 cups of apple juice and 16 cups of orange juice to make fruit punch. Deon uses an equivalent ratio of apple juice to orange juice when he makes fruit punch. Which ratio of apple juice to orange juice could Deon use?

Answers

Given that,

No of cups of Apple juice = 10

No of cups of Orange juice = 16

Solution,

The ratio of Apple juice to the Orange juice will be :

[tex]R=\dfrac{10}{16}[/tex] ....(1)

For equivalent fraction, multiply both numerator and denominator by 2 such that,

[tex]R=\dfrac{10\times 2}{16\times 2}\\\\=\dfrac{20}{32}[/tex]

Dividing both numerator and denominator 2 such that,

[tex]R=\dfrac{10/2}{16/2}\\\\=\dfrac{5}{8}[/tex]

So, the required ratio is 5/8.

a. 19 b. -53

Step-by-step explanation:

I did it mentally, but you plug those x values into the equation.

A = 22
4(3x)-8-x2 = 4(3x3)-8-3x2= 22
B= -38
4(3x)-8-x2 = 4(3x-3)-8-(-3x2)=-38

For her parents' anniversary party, Sarah is considering using one of two venues. A hotel in Booneville will cost $904 for a reservation, plus $86 per person. A restaurant in the same city will cost $89 per person, in addition to $901 for the reservation. In order to make the best decision, Sarah figures out how many attendees it would take to have the venues cost the same amount. How many attendees would that be? What would the total cost be?

Answers

Answer:

x = 1

$990

Step-by-step explanation:

First you want to write the linear equations for both scenarios

in the first scenario hotel:

y = 86x + 904 where x = # of people, y = total cost

in the second scenario restaurant:

y= 89x + 901

now you want to set them equal to each other since you want to know how many people (x) will be needed to make total costs equal.

86x + 904 = 89x + 901

subtract 86x on both sides to move all x terms on the right

904 = 3x + 901

subtract 901 on both sides to move numbers to the left

3 = 3x

divide both sides by 3

1 = x or x=1

So it would take 1 attendee.

Now plug in x=1 into either equation to find the total cost that is the same.

y = 86(1) + 904

= 86 + 904

= $990

Prove that 3+2 root 3 is irrational

Answers

Answer:

Hi friend,

Let 3+2√3 is a rational number.

A rational number can be written in the form of p/q.

3+2√3=p/q

√3=p/2q-3

√3=p-6q/2q

p,q are integers then (p-6q)/2q is a rational number.

But this contradicts the fact that √3 is an irrational number.

So,our statement supposed is false.

Therefore,3+2√3 is an irrational number.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

in the explanation

Step-by-step explanation:

The sqrt of 3 is irrational. Any rational number multiplied or divided with an irrational number is also irrational (2 root 3). It's the same for addition and subtraction, any rational number added or subtracted from an irrational number is also irrational (2 + root 2).

The formula for the circumference of a circle is c=2pir where r is the radius and c is the circumference. The equation r is r=c/2pi

Answers

Answer:

r = 8

Step-by-step explanation:

The circumference of a circle is given by :

[tex]C=2\pi r[/tex] ...(1)

We need to find the value of r when C = 16π

Solving equation (1)

[tex]r=\dfrac{C}{2\pi}\\\\r=\dfrac{16\pi}{2\pi}\\\\r=8[/tex]

So, the value of r is 8. Hence, the correct option is (b).

x ≤ 2

Step-by-step explanation:

If you referencing ">=" as greater than or equal to, follow the solution below:

Solve:

3x - 6 + 2 ≥ 5x - 8

Combine like terms.

3x - 4 ≥ 5x - 8

Subtract 5x from both sides.

-2x - 4 ≥ -8

Add 4 to both sides.

-2x ≥ -4

Divide both sides by -2, while flipping the inequality as well since you're dividing by a negative number.

x ≤ 2

Your answer would be x ≤ 2
