Since the water in the tank is doubling each minute, that means the minute before the tank was full, it was half full.
If it fills in an hour, which is 60 minutes, than that is double what it was 1 minute ago.

The invert of doubling is halving.
The tank was half full a minute before it was full.
It was full after 60 minutes.
This means it was half full after 59 minutes.

Answer:
The tank was half full after 59 minutes.

Hope this helps!

Emily is a songwriter who collects royalties on her songs whenever they are played in a commercial or a movie. Emily will earn $
Hitman42 [59]

Answer:

(6,2)

Step-by-step explanation:

Variable Definitions:

​x= the number of commercials

y= the number of movies

Each commercial earns Emily $50, so x commercials would earn her 50x dollars in royalties. Each movie earns Emily $150, so y movies would earn her 150y dollars in royalties. Therefore, the total royalties 50x+150y equals $600:

50x+150y=600

Since Emily's songs were played on 3 times as many commercials as movies, if we multiply 3 by the number of movies, we will get the number of commercials, meaning x equals 3y.

x=3y

Write System of Equations:

​50x+150y=600

x=3y

Solve for y in each equation:

1)  50x+150y=600

   150y=−50x+600

   y=-1/3x+4

2)  x=3y

    y=1/3x

The x variable represents the number of commercials and the yy variable represents the number of movies. Since the lines intersect at the point (6,2) we can say:

Emily's songs were played on 6 commercials and 2 movies.

Is there a series of rigid transformations that could map A
MaRussiya [10]

Answer:

Yes, A KLP can be reflected across the line containing KP and then translated so that Pis mapped to M.

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure shows two congruent by HA theorem (they have congruent hypotenuses and a pair of congruent angles adjacent to the hypotenuses) triangles KLP and QNM.

A rigid transformation is a transformation which preserves lengths. Reflection, rotation and translation are rigit transformations.

If you reflect triangle KLP across the leg KP and translate it up so that point P coincides with point M , then the image of triangle KLP after these transformations will be triangle QNM.

AVprozaik [17]
X number of male students
Y number of female students
Z number of the adults
X=(1 + 7)Z=8Z
Y= X/2
X +Y +Z = 82
8Z +8Z/2 +Z=82 implies Z=82/26=3.1
so we take Z= 3

X= 24
and Y = 12
