Tomas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. He can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. He buys 3 pounds of granola

that costs $2.00 per pound. The walnuts cost $6 per pound. He uses the equation to represent the total cost, where x represents the number of pounds of granola and y represents the number of pounds of walnuts. He solves the equation for y, the number of pounds of walnuts he can buy. Which is the first error that Tomas made? Tomas substituted the 3 for x when he should have substituted 6 for x. Tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6. Tomas should have written the equation as . Tomas substituted 3 for x when he should have substituted 3 for y.(for edgenuit/y)

Answer:

Tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6.

Step-by-step explanation:

Tomas is making trail mix using granola and walnuts. He can spend a total of $12 on the ingredients. He buys 3 pounds of granola that costs $2.00 per pound. The walnuts cost $6 per pound. He uses the equation 2x + 6y = 12 to represent the total cost, where x represents the number of pounds of granola and y represents the number of pounds of walnuts. He solves the equation for y, the number of pounds of walnuts he can buy.

Given:

2x + 6y = 12

where

x = number of pounds of granola y = number of pounds of walnuts

The correct solution to the problem

x = 3 pounds

2x + 6y = 12

2(3) + 6y = 12

6 + 6y = 12

Subtract 6 from both sides

6 + 6y - 6 = 12 - 6

6y = 6

Divide both sides by 6

y = 6/6

= 1

y = 1 pound

Tomas added 6 to both sides of the equation instead of subtracting 6.

Describe how to estimate a non-perfect square root to the hundredths place without using a calculator.
GaryK [48]
1) find the perfect square closest to the number
2) take that square root, and then divide your number by that number
3) take the average of the perfect square root (the whole number) and the result of dividing your original number by that root. 

Example: Approximate square root of 27
Closest perfect square: 25
Square root: 5
27 ÷ 5 = 5.4
Average between 5 and 5.4 = 5.20
5.2² = 27.04. Fast and not a bad approximation!

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

x₁ > x₂

Step-by-step explanation:

Both actions imply a parable trajectories, since both are projectile shot cases.

Let´s call x₁ maximum distance in the first case

The maximum height is just in the middle of the curve, therefore x₁ the maximum horizontal distance is equal to 60 feet.

In the second case, the parable curve is modeled by:

y = x₂*( 0.08 - 0.002x₂)    or  y = 0.08*x₂ - 0.002*x₂²

A second degree equation, solving for x₂ and dismissing the value x₂ = 0

we get:

y = 0       ⇒    x₂*( 0.08 - 0.002x₂) = 0    x₂ = 0

And 0,08 - 0.002*x₂ = 0

- 0.002*x₂ = - 0.08

x₂ = 0.08/0.002

x₂ = 40 f

Then  x₁ > x₂

What number should be added to both sides of the equation to complete the square? x2 + 3x = 6 (StartFraction 3 Over 2 EndFractio
Alex73 [517]

Answer:

\frac{9}{4}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

x² + 3x = 6

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(\frac{3}{2} )x + (\frac{3}{2} )² = 6 + (\frac{3}{2} )²

The number added to both sides is (\frac{3}{2} )² = \frac{9}{4}

morpeh [17]

Answer:

a: 28 < µ < 34

Step-by-step explanation:

We need the mean, var, and standard deviation for the data set.  See first attached photo for calculations for these...

We get a mean of 222/7 = 31.7143

and a sample standard deviation of: 4.3079

We can now construct our confidence interval.  See the second attached photo for the construction steps.

They want a 90% confidence interval.  Our sample size is 7, so since n < 30, we will use a t-score.  Look up the value under the 10% area in 2 tails column, and degree of freedom is 6 (degree of freedom is always 1 less than sample size for confidence intervals when n < 30)

The t-value is: 1.943

We rounded down to the nearest person in the interval because we don't want to over estimate.  It said 28.55, so more than 28 but not quite 29, so if we use 29 as the lower limit, we could over estimate.  It's better to use 28 and underestimate a little when considering customer flow.
