Answer:

x+20

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent the number of rides.

We have been given that a carnival has two payment options.

In Plan A, you pay $10 admission plus $3 for each ride. The total cost for x rides using plan A would be 3x+10.

In Plan B, you pay a $20 admission plus $1 for each ride.The total cost for x rides using plan B would be x+20.

Now we will show that plan B is best buy by showing that cost of x rides in plan B is less than plan A as:

x+20

Therefore, our required inequality would be x+20.

<span>Let x = # of rides

Plan A: 10 + 3x

Plan B: 20 + x

if x < 5 rides then plan A is better buy
if x = 5 both plans are the same
if x > 5 then plan B is the best buy

Prove:
x = 6 (rides)

plan A: </span>10 + 3x = 10 + 3(6) = 10+18 = $28
plan B: 20 + x = 20 + 6 = $26

If FG = 2 units, FI = 7 units, and HI = 1 unit, what is GH? 3 units 4 units 5 units 6 units
Nezavi [6.7K]
I think the points given here are plotted linearly: 

FGHI. in this case, we can tell that FG + GH + HI = FI. substituting to the expression devised, 2 units + GH + 1 unit = 7 units. This is equal to 3 units + GH = 7 units. GH is then equal to 4 units.

Gary used landscape timbers to create a border around a garden shaped like a right triangle. The longest two timbers he used are
Cloud [144]

Answer:

9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

The border of the garden is a right angled triangle.

Two lengths are given as 12 ft and 15 ft.

Let the length of the shortest timber be 'x' feet.

Now, in a right angled triangle, the longest length is called the hypotenuse.

As 15 feet is the largest length, it is the hypotenuse of the triangle. Now, applying Pythagoras theorem, we get:

(Leg1)^2+(Leg2)^2=(Hypotenuse)^2\\x^2+12^2=15^2\\x^2+144=225\\x^2=225-144\\x^2=81\\x=\pm \sqrt{81}=\pm 9

The negative value is neglected as length can never be negative.

Therefore, the length of the shortest timber is 9 feet.

If a baseball player hits a baseball from 4 feet off the ground with an initial velocity of 64 feet per second, how long will it
topjm [15]

Answer:

0.64 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

In the equation provided:

h = −16t2 + 4t + 4

h is the height of the ball and t is time. Since we want to find the time when the ball touches the floor, then height is 0. This leaves us with the equation

-16t^{2} + 4t + 4 = 0

This is a quadratic equation can be solved with the following formula:

x= \frac{-b+-\sqrt{b^{2}-4ac } }{2a}

where a=-16

b=4

c=4

Solving for t we will find two different results:

t1=\frac{-4-\sqrt{272} }{2(-16)} =0.125+0.125\sqrt{17} =0.64039t2=\frac{-4+\sqrt{272} }{2(-16)} =0.125-0.125\sqrt{17} =-0.39039

Since time can't be negative, we discard t2 and choose t1.

Since it is required to answer in the nearest hundredth, we round the result to t=0.64 seconds.

An antique store increases all of its prices by $40\%$, and then announces a $25\%$-off-everything sale. What percent of the ori
Nostrana [21]
Let X be the original price. 
Do a 40% increase we get the price: X+0.4X=1.4X
Doing a 25% off we get the new price:
(1.4X)-0.25(1.4X)=1.05X 
                            =X+0.05X.
The new prices are 5% increase from the original price.

You found $6.60 on the ground at school, all in nickels, dimes, and quarters. you have twice as many quarters as dimes and 42 co
Veseljchak [2.6K]
Let the number of nickels found be n, the number of dimes be d and the number of quarters be q.

i) "you have twice as many quarters as dimes and 42 coins in all."

means that 2d=q, and n+d+q=42

we can reduce the number of unknowns by substituting q with 2d:

n+d+q=42
n+d+2d=42
n+3d=42

We can write all n, d and q in terms of d as follows:

there are n=42-3d nickels, d dimes and q=2d quarters.

ii) In total there are $6.60 dollars,

1 nickel     =  5 cent   =  $0.05
1 dime      =  10 cent  =  $0.1
1 quarter   =  25 cent  = $0.25 

thus

(42-3d)*0.05 + d*0.1 +2d*0.25= $6.60

2.1 - 0.15d+0.1d+0.5d=6.60

2.1+0.45d=6.6

0.45d=6.6-2.1=4.5

d=4.5/0.45=10

iii)

so, there are 10 dimes, 2d=2*10=20 quarters and 42-3d=42-3*10=12 nickels.


Answer: 10 dimes, 20 quarters, 12 nickels
