This problem involves two unknowns, thus, it can be solved using two independent equations. We first assign a variable for each real number.

Let:
x = first real number
y = second real number

Two independent equations must then be set up which will come from the problem statement. The first equation is obtained from the statement that the average of the two real numbers is 41.375. The second equation then shows that the product of the two real numbers is equal to 1668. The equations are then:

(1) (x + y)/2 = 41.375
(2) x*y = 1668

We then express the variable y in terms of x, such that, y = 1668/x. This is then applied in equation 1 in order to have only a single variable in the equation. After doing mathematical operations, x is then calculated to be 34.75. This value of x is then substituted in the second equation to obtain y. Finally, the two real numbers have been determined to be x = 34.75 and y = 48.

A coat at a store is originally priced at 54.99.The store marks the price down to 32.99.To the nearest percent ,what is the perc

AnnZ [28]

For this case what we can do is the following rule of three:
54.99 ------> 100%
32.99 ------> x
We clear the value of
x = (32.99 / 54.99) * (100)
x = 59.99272595
Therefore, the discount percentage is:
100-59.99272595 = 40.00727405%
To the nearest percent;
40%
Answer:
The percent markdown of the coat is:
40%

Your friend is trying to grow her hair as long as her cousin’s hair. The table shows their hair lengths y (in inches) in differe

Effectus [21]

<span>Given the table that shows the hair lengths y (in inches) of your friend and her cousin in different months x.

Month      Friends Hair(in)      Cousins Hair(in)
    3                     4                              7
    8                    6.5                            9.

To solve for the cousins hair, recall that the equation of a line is given by

y = mx + c

From the table,

7 = 3m + c . . . (1)
9 = 8m + c . . . (2)

(1) - (2) ⇒ -2 = -5m
$\Rightarrow m= \frac{2}{5} =0.4$

Substituting for m into equation (1) gives:

$7=3(0.4)+c \\ \\ \Rightarrow c=7-1.2=5.8$

Therefore, the equation representing the growth of the cousin's hair is given by y = 1.2x + 5.8

The complete question and the picture in the attached figure

we have that
y^2 + x^2 = 121
is a circle with center at (0,0) and radius r=11 units
and
g(x)
points (-1,14) (0,12) (1,10)

using a graph tool
see the attached figure

the answer is
A. Yes, at the positive x coordinates.

A farmer has 300 ft of fencing with which to enclose a rectangular pen next to a barn. The barn itself will be used as one of th

Katarina [22]

Let x represent the length of the side of the pen that is parallel to the barn. Then the area (y) will be
.. y = x(300 -x)/2
This describes a downward opening parabola with zeros at x=0 and x=300. The vertex (maximum) will be found at the value of x that is halfway between those, x = 150.

For that value of x, the pen area is
.. y = 150(300 -150)/2 = 150^2/2 = 11,250 . . . . . square feet.
