Answer:

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

Step-by-step explanation:

x + y = 4.25

16.90x + 4y = 36.35

1. The solution to the equation represent number of yards of silk and number of yards of cotton bought.

2.

x + y = 4.25 (1)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Multiply (1) by 4

4x + 4y = 17 (3)

16.90x + 4y = 36.35 (2)

Subtract (3) from (2)

16.90x - 4x = 36.35 - 17

12.90x = 19.35

Divide both sides by 12.90

x = 19.35 / 12.90

= 1.5

x = 1.5 yards

Substitute x = 1.5 yards into (1)

x + y = 4.25

1.5 + y = 4.25

y = 4.25 - 1.5

= 2.75

y = 2.75 yards

Silk = x = 1.5 yards

Cotton = y = 2.75 yards

butter and flour are mixed in the ratio 2:3. paul has 640 grams of butter and 880 grams of flour. how much more flour does he ne
madam [21]

Answer:

80g

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's why:

SO you have 2:3 ratio which means the ratio for grams of butter/grams of flour has to be 2:3.

So we set up the following equation:

2/3 = 640/x (solve for x)

x= 960g

960g is what you should have to get to ratio, but the question is asking how much more you need from the initial given flour.

So you need  (suppose x is the grams of flour you need)

x+880g = 960g (solve for x)

x=80g

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Decreased.

Step-by-step explanation:

Decrease means to go down or take away, therefore in a mathematical equation, it would be represented by a negative integer.

Change could be positive or negative

each is a singular description word

and drastically is just describing how fast.

have a good day!

Triangle J K L is shown. Angle J K L is a right angle. An altitude is drawn from point K to point M on side L J to form a right
KiRa [710]

Answer:

3\sqrt{5}\ units

Step-by-step explanation:

<u>Theorem 1:</u> The height of right triangle drawn from the right angle to the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse into two segments. The length of the altitude is the geometric mean of these two segments. Hence,

KM^2=ML\cdot MJ\\ \\6^2=ML\cdot 3\\ \\3ML=36\\ \\ML=12\ units

<u>Theorem 2:</u> In a right triangle, the altitude drawn from the right angle to the hypotenuse divides the hypotenuse into two segments. The length of each leg of the right triangle is the geometric mean of the lengths of the hypotenuse and the segment of the hypotenuse that is adjacent to the leg.

Thus,

KJ^2=MJ\cdot ML\\ \\KJ^2=3\cdot (3+12)\\ \\KJ^2=3\cdot 15\\ \\KJ^2=45\\ \\KJ=\sqrt{45}=3\sqrt{5}\ units
