Peter is at a lumber yard. He gets 2 free boxes of nails for every 10 boards he buys. Write an expression for the number of boxe

s of nails Peter will get if he buys n boards. If each box has 100 nails, explain how to write an expression to find how many nails Peter will have if he purchases 90 boards.

A. The number of 10-boards Peter bought is equal to n divided by 10. Then, each of the 10-boxes will get two boxes of nails. The number of boxes of nails that Peter will have after buying n boards will be,

    N = (2)(n/10)

Simplifying,

<em>   N = n/5</em>

b. If the number of boards are 90 then,

     N2 = (90/10)(2)(100 nails/box)
     N2 = 1800

Answer: 1800

The exact answer is:

The algebraic expression n/10, where n is the number of boards, represents the number of times he gets 2 free boxes of nails. So 2(n/10), or n/5, is the number of boxes, and 100(n/5), or 20n, is the number of nails. Substituting 90 in for n,

Isosceles △ABC (AC=BC) is inscribed in the circle k(O). Prove that the tangent to the circle at point C is parallel to AB .
timofeeve [1]

Explanation:

Let M be the midpoint of AB. Then CM is the perpendicular bisector of AB. As such, center O is on CM, and OC is a radius (and CM). The tangent is perpendicular to that radius (and CM), so is parallel to AB, which is also perpendicular to CM.

If you need to go any further, you can show that triangles CMA and CMB are congruent, so (linear) angles CMA and CMB are congruent, hence both 90°.

PLS HELP ASAP PLEASE Heidi and Andrew designed two raised flower beds for their garden. Heidi's flower bed was 5 feet long by 3
Sidana [21]
First, find the area of both beds!
For Heidi: 5 x 3 = 15
For Andrew: 5 x (3 x 2) = 30 ft

Added together, the beds have an area of 45 feet. To place soil with a depth of 2 feet, simply multiply by 2. You can think of this as finding the volume of the beds, which is length x width x height, or area x height. The answer is 90 cubic feet!

Gnoma [55]

Answer:

y = 100 - 2.5 x is the equation that represents her total profit from

the project

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is:

1. An electrician earns 100 dollars for a project installing light fixtures

2. She must pay for the light fixtures herself and they cost 2 dollars

   and 50 cents each

3. x represent the number of light fixtures and y represent her

  total profit

Her profit is the amount of money she has left over after paying for

the light fixtures

∵ The cost of each light fixtures is 2 dollars and 50 cents

- Let us change the cents to dollar

∵ $1 = 100 cents

∴ 50 cents =  dollar

∴ 2 dollars and 50 cents = $2.5

∵ Her profit = The money she earns - The money she pays

∴ The cost of each light fixtures = $2.5

∵ She installs x light fixtures

∴ She pays 2.5 x dollar

∵ She earns $ 100 for installing x light fixtures

∵ Her profit is $y

∴ y = 100 - 2.5 x

y = 100 - 2.5 x is the equation that represents her total profit from

the project

Step-by-step explanation:

Emily wants to hang a painting in a gallery. The painting and frame must have an area of 31 square feet. The painting is 5 feet
seropon [69]
Area=legnth times width=31
the frame must go around the frame with equal legnth, x
so
the total area (meaning the frame +picture) is 5+x by 6+x
31=(5+x)(6+x)
expand
31=30+11x+x^2
minus 31 both sides
0=-1+11x+x^2
x^2+11x-1=0

answer is third one
