Bob has some 10 lb weights and some 3 lb weights. Together, all his weights add up to 50 lbs. If x represents the number of 3 lb

weights and y represents the number of 10 lb weights, which equation can be used to find the number of each type of weight Bob has?

Total weight = 50 lb
x = number of 3-lb weights
y = number of 10-lb weights

weight of 3-lb weights = 3x
weight of 10-lb weights = 10y
total weight = 3x + 10y

equation
3x + 10y = 50

Points H and F lie on circle c What is the length of line segment GH?
Nina [5.8K]

Answer:

6 units

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Points H and F lie on  circle with center C. EG = 12, EC = 9 and ∠GEC = 90°.

To find: Length of GH.

Sol: EC = CH = 9 (Radius of the same circle are equal)

Now, GC = GH + CH

GC = GH + 9

Now In ΔEGC, using pythagoras theorem,

(Hypotenuse)^{2} = (Base)^{2} +(Altitude)^{2} ......(ΔEGC is a right triangle)

(GC)^{2} = (GE)^{2} +(EC)^{2}

(GH + 9)^{2} = (9)^{2} +(12)^{2}

(GH )^{2} + (9)^{2} + 18GH = 81 + 144

(GH )^{2} + 81 + 18GH = 81 + 144

(GH )^{2} + 18GH = 144

Now, Let GH = <em>x</em>

x^{2} +18x = 144

On rearranging,

x^{2} +18 x - 144 = 0

x^{2} - 6x +24x + 144 = 0

x (x-6) + 24 (x - 6) =0

(x - 6) (x + 24) = 0

So x = 6  and x = - 24

∵ x cannot be - 24 as it will not satisfy the property of right triangle.

Therefore, the length of line segment GH = 6 units. so, Option (D) is the correct answer.

Grades 3, 4, and 5 have their annual field day together. Each grade level is given 16 gallons of water.
sineoko [7]

Answer:

Their will be enough water for each student to consume 2 cups of water.

Step-by-step explanation:

Grade 3, 4 and 5 have their annual field day together . Each grade level is given 16 gallons of water. This means the three grades have 16 × 3 = 48 gallons of water.

The total students involved is 350 student. The total student is the sum of the student in all three grades.

Since the water will be distributed to the students in cups let us convert gallons to cups.

1 gallons = 16 cups

48 gallons = ? cups

cross multiply

48 × 16 = 768 cups.

768 cups of water is available to be shared among the 350 students.

1 student is entitled to 2 cups of water.

350 students will consume 350 × 2 = 700 cups of water.

Therefore, their will be enough water for each student to consume 2 cups of water.

Mrs. Jones buys two toys for her son. The probability that the first toy is defective is 1/3, and the probability that the secon
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Probability=\frac{1}{15}

Step-by-step explanation:

As it is given that

Probability of toy A is defective is =P(A) = \frac{1}{3}

Probability of toy b is defective if A is defective = P (B)=\frac{1}{5}

WE have to find the P(A n B)

By the law of Probability

P(A n B) = P (A).P(B)

putting the values given to us

P(AnB)=\frac{1}{3} * \frac{1}{5}

Probability=\frac{1}{15}

PLEASE HELP!! WILL MARK BRAINLIEST AND THANK YOU!!
tangare [24]

Answer:

Option D (-4,7)

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

Square TUVW with vertices T(-6,1), U(-1,0), V(-2,-5), and W(-7,-4

<u><em>The question is</em></u>

Find out the coordinates of U'

Part a) Reflection: in the y-axis

we know that

The rule of the reflection of a point across the y-axis is

(x,y) -----> (-x,y)

so

U(-1,0) -----> U'(1,0)

Part b) Translation (x,y) —> (x-5,y+7)

That means ---> the translation is 5 units at left and 7 units up

so

U'(1,0) -----> U''(1-5,0+7)

U'(1,0) -----> U''(-4,7)

therefore

Option D (-4,7)
