Answer:Answer: Isabella buys 2 paintbrushes and 3 jars of paint.

Step-by-step explanation:

Isabella can buy together 5 paintbrushes ( p ) and jars of paint ( p ) : j + p = 5, She can`t buy 4 items ( because 4 * $0.99 = $3.96 < $4.87 ) and she also can`t buy 6 items ( 6 * $0.95 = $5.70 > $4.87 ). So: p = 5 - j. Another equation is: 0.95 * ( 5 - j ) + 0.99 j = 4.87, 4.75 - 0.95 j + 0.99 j = 4.87; 0.04 j = 0.12; j = 0.12 : 0.04; j = 3, p = 5 - 3 = 2. We can prove it: 0.95 * 2 + 0.99 * 3 = 1.90 + 2.97 = 4.87.

(Hope this helps!!!!)

Trevor is analyzing a circle, y2 + x2 = 100, and a linear function g(x). Will they intersect?

lakkis [162]

Given a circle described by the equation:
$y^2+x^2=100$
and a function g(x) given by the table
$\begin{center}
\begin{tabular}{ |c |c |c }
 x & g(x) \\
 -1 & -22 \\
 0 & -20 \\
1 & -18 
\end{tabular}
\end{center}$

The function g(x) describes a straight line with the equation:
$\frac{y-y_1}{x-x_1} = \frac{y_2-y_1}{x_2-x_1} \\ \\ \frac{y-(-22)}{x-(-1)} = \frac{-20-(-22)}{0-(-1)} \\ \\ \frac{y+22}{x+1} = \frac{-20+22}{0+1} = \frac{2}{1} \\ \\ y+22=2(x+1)=2x+2 \\ \\ y=2x-20$

To check if the circle and the line intersects, we substitute the equation of the line into the equation of the circle to see if we have a real solution.
i.e.
$y^2+x^2=100 \\ \\ (2x-20)^2+x^2=100 \\ \\ 4x^2-80x+400+x^2=100 \\ \\ 5x^2-80x+300=0 \\ \\ x^2-16x+60=0 \\ \\ (x-6)(x-10)=0 \\ \\ x-6=0 \ or \ x-10=0 \\ \\ x=6 \ or \ x=10$

When x = 6, y = 2(6) - 20 = 12 - 20 = -8 and when x = 10, y = 2(10) - 20 = 20 - 20 = 0

Therefore, the circle and the line intersect at the points (6, -8) and (10, 0).

This star is made up of 4 equilateral triangles of equal area and a square.

pentagon [3]

Answer:

24 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Picture of the star is made up of 4 unshaded equilateral triangles of equal area and a shaded square.

Area of the shaded region (square) = $9\,\, cm^2$

To find: the perimeter of the star

Solution:

Area of the shaded region (square) = $9\,\, cm^2$

Area of square = $(side)^2$

$(side)^2=9\\side=3\,\,cm$

As each equilateral triangle has side lengths that are the same as the side length of the square,

length of side of the star = 3 cm

Perimeter is the sum of lengths of the sides.

Perimeter of star = sum of 8 sides of the star

= 8 × 3 = 24 cm

Alonzo's suitcase can weigh no more than 20 kilograms if he wants to take it on the airplane without paying a fee. His suitcase

LiRa [457]

20 kilograms is 200 hectograms
The limit is 200 hectograms and his suitcase is 220 hectograms.
Subtract 220-200 and his suitcase is over by 20 hectograms.
He will have to remove 20 hectograms

The CPI basket price for two consecutive years of five different economies are given. Determine the rate of Inflation for each e

kaheart [24]

Answer:

The inglation rate can be calculated as:

R = ((year2 - year1)/year1 )*100%

Year 1 = $132.00

Year 2 = $134.50

R = (($134.50 - $132.00)/$132.00)*100% = 1.89%

Year 1 = $95.00

Year 2 = $97.50

R = (($97.50 - $95.00 )/$95.00 )*100% = 2.6%

Year 1 = $100.00

Year 2 = $102.00

R = (($102.00 - $100.00 )/$100.00 )*100% = 2%

Year 1 = $88.00

Year 2 = $89.25

R = (($89.25 - $88.00 )/$88.00 )*100% = 1.4%

Year 1 = $115.50

Year 2 = $117.50

R = (($117.50 - $115.50 )/$115.50 )*100% = 1.7%

Then the order from least to greatest is:

D, E, A, C, B
