Solving the Diophantine equations for chefs (c) and customers (q) ...
.. 15c -2q = 4
.. 20c -3q = 1
we find that c=2 and q=13 are common solutions.

There were 2 chefs and 13 customers on Tuesday.


_____
It looks like this is better solved using proportions, since the ratio of roll production is different than the ratio of roll consumption. There can only be one solution.
.. (15c-4)/(20c-1) = 2/3 . . . . the ratio of rolls produced is the same as the ratio of rolls consumed
.. 3(15c -4) = 2(20c -1)
.. 45c -12 = 40c -2
.. 5c =10
.. c = 2 . . . . there were 2 chefs
They produced 30 rolls, of which 4 were left and the remaining devoured 2 at a time. Hence there were
.. (30 -4)/2 = 13 customers.

A pitcher of water at 40 degrees Fahrenheit is placed into a 70 degree room. One hour later, the temperature has risen to 45 deg
solong [7]

Answer:

3 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

The difference between the initial temperature and the temperature after an hour is an increase of 5 degrees. Since we need to calculate the time it would take for the temperature to rise to 60 degrees we need to find the difference in degrees from the current temperature to 60 degrees.

60 - 45 = 15 degrees

Since 1 hour equals an increase of 5 degrees we need to divide 15 by 5 to calculate how many hours before the temperature increases to 60 degrees

15 / 5 = 3 hours

A rock is thrown in the air from the edge of a seaside cliff. Its height in feet is represented by f(x) = –16(x^2 – 8x – 9), whe
algol13
Since x is the number of seconds it took the rock to hit the water, x is the value that we are looking for. When the rock hits the water, it's height is 0, therefore, f(x) = 0. So, we can set the expression on the right equal to 0, and solve for 0. Let's do just that:
0 = -16(x^2-8x-9)

We can divide by -16, nothing will happen because 0 divided by anything is 0:
0 = x^2-8x-9

To factor any trinomial in standard form (given below), we must find two numbers that add to "b" and multiply to "c":
0 = ax^2 + bx + c

So, for this specific question, let's find two numbers that add to -8 and multiply to 9. These are clearly 9 and -1. We can write it in this way now:
0 = (x-9)(x+1)

Both answers would be valid, but there can't be negative time, so your answer is "It takes 9 seconds for the rock to reach the water."

a rectangular field has side lengths that measure 9/10 mile and 1/2 mile. What is the area of the field
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

9/20, or 0.45 mile.

Step-by-step explanation:\\

To find the area of a rectangle, multiply length times width. In this problem we are given both the length and width.

\frac{9}{10} × \frac{1\\}{2} is just 9/20, which is 0.45.

A professor uses a video camera to record the motion of an object falling from a height of 250 meters. The function f(x) = –5x2
Romashka [77]

Answer:

The answer is approximately 5.09 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given equation is:

f(x) = -5x^2 + 250

To find the elapsed time, x, set the equation equal to 120 and solve for x:

-5x^2 + 250 = 120

-5x^2 = -130

x^2 = -130/-5 = 26

x = Sqrt(26) = 5.09 seconds.
