Let's say the number of days library book is late is X, and the total fee is Y.
Liability charges $0.30 dollars as a fee for being 1 day late,
For being 1 day late, fee charge is: 1* $0.30
So, for X days the charge would be: X*$0.30.
Total charge for being X days late is Y, Which means: Y= 0.30 * X.
Now We would have to check all the viable solutions in the answer to see if they satisfy the equation Y= 0.30 * X
Option
one(-3, -0.9) and two (-2.5, -0.75) Would not be a viable solution
because the value of number of days can not be negative and in option
one and two, value of days -3 and -2.5 is negative.
Option
three(4.5, 1.35) can not be correct because library charges fee for a
full day so the number for days would be a whole number. Library would
not charge for 4.5 days, they would either charge of 4 days or 5 days
because 4.5 is not an whole number.
Option four(8, 2.40) is the correct answer because it satisfies our equation;
Y= 0.30 * X
2.40= 0.30 * 8
2.40 = 2.40.
Fourth option (8, 2.40) is the only viable solution to this question.
To reach the second floor you would look at all ways to enter to building(8) and multiply it by the number of ways to reach the second floor (12).
8 x 12 = 96 possibilities
Think of it in groups.
1st door and 12 possible sets of steps
2nd door and 12 possible sets of steps
3rd door and 12 possible sets of steps
4th door and 12 possible sets of steps
5th door and ..., etc.....
Answer:
(2, -8)
Step-by-step explanation:
The coordinates of M are the average of the coordinates of X and Y.
-3 = (x + -8) / 2
-1 = (y + 6) / 2
Solving:
x = 2
y = -8
Answer:
For a = 1.22 there is one solution where y = 1.3
Step-by-step explanation:
Hi there!
Let´s write the system of equations:
a(0.3 - y) + 1.1 +2.4x(y-1.2) = 0
-1.2(x-0.5) = 0
Let´s solve the second equation for x:
-1.2(x-0.5) = 0
x- 0.5 = 0
x = 0.5
Now let´s repalce x = 0.5 and y = 1.3 in the first equation and solve it for a:
a(0.3 - y) + 1.1 +2.4x(y-1.2) = 0
a(0.3 - 1.3) + 1.1 + 2.4(0.5)(1.3 -1.2) = 0
a(-1) + 1.1 + 1.2(0.1) = 0
-a + 1.22 = 0
-a = -1.22
a = 1.22
Let´s check the solution and solve the system of equations with a = 1.22. Let´s solve the first equation for y:
1.22(0.3 - y) + 1.1 +2.4(0.5)(y-1.2) = 0
0.366 - 1.22y + 1.1 + 1.2 y - 1.44 = 0
-0.02y +0.026 = 0
-0.02y = -0.026
y = -0.026 / -0.02
y = 1.3
Then, the answer is correct.
Have a nice day!
