Answer:

13 children and 9 adults if the total cost is $152.5

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x children and y adults

x + y = 22 (1)

5.5x + 9y = 125.5 (2)

y = 22 - x

5.5x + 9(22 - x) = 125.5

5.5x + 198 - 9x = 125.5

-3.5x = 125.5 - 198

-3.5x = -72.5

x = 20.7

y = 22 - x = 1.3

Which is not possible

If the total cost is $152.5

x + y = 22 (1)

5.5x + 9y = 152.5 (2)

y = 22 - x

5.5x + 9(22 - x) = 152.5

5.5x + 198 - 9x = 152.5

-3.5x = 152.5 - 198

-3.5x = -45.5

x = 13

y = 22 - 13 = 9

Jordan is making gifts for volunteers and orders 4,580 personalized M&Ms. She puts 34 M&Ms in each gift. How many gifts
marin [14]

Answer:

134

Step-by-step explanation:

to find how many gifts it can make, you must find how many times 34 can go into 4580. do this by deciding 4580 by 34.

4580/34=134.7

Since you can't make less than a whole gift you must round it down to 134

Coordinates, gradient and tangent work (see image).
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

a) P(x,2x^2-5),\ Q(x+h,2(x+h)^2-5)

b) 4x+2h

c) 4x

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the curve

y=2x^2-5

a) If the x-coordinate of P is x, then the y-coordinate is 2x^2-5, so point P has coordinates (x,2x^2-5)

If the x-coordinate of Q is x+h, then the y-coordinate is 2(x+h)^2-5 so point Q has coordinates (x+h,2(x+h)^2-5)

b) The gradient of the secant RQ is

\dfrac{y_Q-y_P}{x_Q-x_P}\\ \\=\dfrac{(2(x+h)^2-5)-(2x^2-5)}{(x+h)-x}\\ \\=\dfrac{2(x+h)^2-5-x^2+5}{x+h-x}\\ \\=\dfrac{2(x+h)^2-2x^2}{h}\\ \\=\dfrac{2x^2+4xh+2h^2-2x^2}{h}\\ \\=\dfrac{4xh+2h^2}{h}\\ \\=4x+2h

c) If h\rightarrow 0, then the gradient 4x+2h\rightarrow 4x

If JL=18, NK=12, and ML=10, find the perimeter of JKLM<br> A. 42<br> B. 45<br> C. 50<br> D. 56
snow_lady [41]

Answer:

The perimeter of the kite JKLM is 50 units ⇒ C

Step-by-step explanation:

The longest diagonal of the kite is its axis of symmetry which means the longest diagonal divides the kite into two congruent triangles

∵ JKLM is a kite

∵ KM is the longest diagonal

∴ KM is divides the kite into two congruent triangles

∴ Δ JKM is congruent to Δ LKM

∴ JK = LK

∴ JM = ML

∵ ML = 10 units

∴ JM = 10 units

∵ The diagonals of the kite are perpendicular

∴ KM ⊥ JL

∵ KM and JL intersected at N

∴ m∠JNK = 90°

∵ KM is the axis of symmetry of kite JKLM

∴ KM bisects JL at N

∴ JN = NL = \frac{1}{2} JL

∵ JL = 18 units

∴ JN = \frac{1}{2} (18)

∴ JN = 9 units

In Δ JNK

∵ m∠JNK = 90°

∵ JN = 9 units

∵ NK = 12 units

- By using Pythagoras Theorem

∵ (JK)² = (JN)² + (NK)²

∴ (JK)² = (9)² + (12)²

∴ (JK)² = 81 + 144

∴ (JK)² = 225

- Take √ for both sides

∴ JK = 15 units

∵ Jk = LK

∴ Lk = 15 units

∵ The perimeter of the kite is the sum of its 4 sides

∴ P = JK + KL + LM + MJ

∵ JK = LK = 15

∵ JM = ML = 10

∴ P = 15 + 15 + 10 + 10

∴ P = 50

The perimeter of the kite JKLM is 50 units

A boat takes twice as long to travel 5 km upstream as it does travel 3km downstream in a river that flows at a rate of 2 kph. At
Fittoniya [83]

Answer: 22 kph

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

distance (d) = rate (r) x time (t)

UPSTREAM: d = 5 km,   r = *x - y,  y = 2 kph,   t = 2t

DOWNSTREAM: d = 3 k,  r = *x + y,   y = 2 kph,   t = t

*x is the speed in still water and y is the current of the water.

Upstream equation:       5 = 2t(x - 2)   -->    \dfrac{5}{2(x-2)}=t

Downstream equation:  3 = t(x + 2)     -->    \dfrac{3}{x+2}=t

Set the equations equal to each other to solve for x:

\dfrac{5}{2(x-2)}=\dfrac{3}{x+2}\\\\\\\text{Cross multiply:}\\5(x+2)=3\cdot2(x-2)\\\\\text{Distribute:}\\5x+10=6x-12\\\\\text{Isolate x:}\\10=x-12\\22=x
