A taxi charges a flat rate of $3.00, plus an additional $0.50 per mile. Carl will only take the taxi home if the cost is under $

10, otherwise he will take a bus. Carl is 15 miles from home. Explain how to write and solve an inequality to determine if Carl will take the taxi or a bus.

Answer:

No, Carl can't go by taxi, sadly, and because he is poor. How I know is by first, making an inequality to solve this problem.  Let the variable x be the number of miles. The first inequality would be 0.50x+3<10. I you plug x for 15, the inequality would be ($0.50 * 15) + $3 <  $10. We need a less than sign (<) because Carl says the price has to be under and not equal to. Then we have to simplify it by multiplying 0.50 by 15. When you do that, you will get $7.5. If you put that back to the inequality, then it would be $7.5 + $3 < $10. After you do simple math and add, you will know that Carl is short of money by 50 cents. This shows why Carl does not have enough money , and has to take the bus.

The scatter plot shows the number of text messages sent per day versus age (in years) of the smartphone user.
Ghella [55]

Answer: find the answers in the explanation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the predicted Number of Text Messages Sent = 60 – 0.8 • Age

Where the slope = - 0.8

The intercept = 60

1) the slope of the least regression line is -0.8

2.) The unit of the slope of the line is text per year

3.) Therefore, the slope of the line tells you that for every year older the smart phone user is, you can expect a typical average in text messages sent of - 0.8

4.) The y - intercept of the least square regression line is 60

5.) The unit of the y - intercept of the line are text sent

6.) The y - intercept of the line tells you the starting point. The first number of text messages sent.

Caleb has 20 more books than Danica. If Caleb gives Danica half of his books, Danica will have 4 more books than Caleb. How many
wariber [46]

Answer:

Option E: 24.

Step-by-step explanation:

When Caleb (C) has 20 more books than Danica (D), we have:

C = 20 + D   (1)

Now, when Caleb gives Danica half of his books:

C' = C - \frac{C}{2}   (2)

Danica will have 4 more books than Caleb, so:

D' = D + \frac{C}{2}     (3)    

Also we have that:

D' = C' + 4   (4)  

By entering equation (2) and equation (3) into equation (4) we have:

D + \frac{C}{2} = C - \frac{C}{2} + 4   (5)

From (1) we have:

D = C - 20   (6)

By entering (6) into (5):

C - 20 + \frac{C}{2} = C - \frac{C}{2} + 4

C = 24

And, from (6):

D = C - 20 = 24 - 20 = 4  

Therefore, the correct option is E, Caleb had to start with 24 books.

I hope it helps you!

Noah is writing an exam for his 8th grade students. The exam is worth 100 points and Noah wants 35 questions on the exam. He pla
MaRussiya [10]

Answer: the system of equations are

x + y = 35

3x + 2y = 100

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x= the number of short answer questions.

Let y= the number of multiple choice questions.

Noah wants 35 questions on the exam. This means that

x + y = 35

He plans to mix short answer questions, worth 3 points, with multiple choice questions worth 2 points. This means that x short answer questions will give 3x points and y multiple choice questions will give 2y points

Since the exam is worth 100 points, then,

3x + 2y = 100 - - - - - - - -1

Substituting x = 35 - y into equation 1, it becomes

3(35 - y) + 2y = 100

105 - 3y + 2y = 100

y = 105 - 100 = 5

x = 35 - y = 35 - 5

x = 30

The volume inside of a sphere is V=4πr33 where r is the radius of the sphere. Your group has been asked to rearrange the formula
Semmy [17]

Answer:

Therefore,

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi }}

is the required r

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of inside of the sphere is given as

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}

where r is the radius of the sphere

To Find:

r =?

Solution:

We have

V=\frac{4}{3} \pi r^{3}   ......Given

3\times V=4\pi r^{3} \\\\\therefore r^{3}=\frac{3V}{4\pi } \\\\\therefore r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi }} \textrm{which is the expression for r}

Therefore,

r=\sqrt[3]{\frac{3V}{4\pi }}

is the required r
