Answer:

h = 2.5

Step by step explanation:

We have been given an equation 9(u-2)+1.5u=8.25 that models the total miles Michael traveled one afternoon while sledding, where u equals the number of hours walking up a hill and (u – 2) equals the number of hours sledding down the hill.

To find value of u we will solve our equation.

Upon using distributive property we will get,    

9(u-2)+1.5u=8.25

9u-18+1.5u=8.25

Now let us add 18 to both sides of our equation.

9u-18+18+1.5u=8.25+18

9u+1.5u=8.25+18

Now let us combine like terms.

10.5u=26.25

Upon dividing both sides of our equation by 10.5 we will get,

u=\frac{26.25}{10.5}

u=2.5

Therefore, value of u is 2.5.

Tiffany sells two kinds of homemade tomato sauce. A quart of her Tuscan sauce requires 6 tomatoes and 1 cup of oil. A quart of h
il63 [147K]

Let x represent the number of quarts of Tuscan sauce and

y represent the number of quarts of marinara sauce Tiffany makes.

A quart of Tuscan sauce requires 6 tomatoes and 1 cup of oil

x quarts requires 6x tomatoes and 1x cups of oil

A quart of her marinara sauce requires 5 tomatoes and 1.25 cups of oil

y quarts requires 5y tomatoes and 1.25 y cups of oil

She has 45 tomatoes and 10 cups of oil on hand.

So the constraints are

6x + 5y

1x + 1.25y < = 10

x>=0 and y>=0

Use the ruler to measure the length of Line segment R S to the nearest centimeter.
Over [174]

Answer:

Length of the line segment RS is, 18 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Two points are drawn on a ruler. Point R is located at 8 cm and Point S is located at 26 cm.

So, length of the line segment RS is,

(26 - 8) cm\

= 18 cm

We know that on a ruler if two points A and B are at a cm and b cm respectively, then, length of AB

= AB = \mid b - a \mid cm .

Aaron, Blaine, and Cruz are solving the equation 4 7 (7 − n) = −1. Aaron started his solution by multiplying both sides of the e
hjlf

Answer:

D. All three chose a valid first step toward solving the equation.

Step-by-step explanation:

Aaron, Blaine, and Cruz are solving the equation 4/7 (7 − n) = −1. Aaron started his solution by multiplying both sides of the equation by 7/4 . Blaine started by using the distributive property to multiply 4/7 by both 7 and −n. Cruz started by dividing both sides of the equation by 4/7 .

Which of the following is true?

A. Blaine and Cruz made an error in picking their first steps.

B. Cruz made an error in picking his first step.

C. All three made an error because the right side equals -1.

D. All three chose a valid first step toward solving the equation.

Given:

4/7(7 - n) = -1

Aaron:

4/7(7 - n) = -1

Multiple both sides by 7/4

4/7(7 - n) * 7/4 = -1 * 7/4

7 - n = -7/4

- n = -7/4 - 7

- n = (-7-28)/4

- n = -35/4

n = 35/4

Blaine:

4/7(7 - n) = -1

4/7(7 - n) × 7 = -1 × 7

4(7 - n) = -7

28 - 4n = -7

-4n = -7 - 28

- 4n = - 35

n = -35/-4

n = 35/4

Cruz:

4/7(7 - n) = -1

Divide both sides by 4/7

4/7(7 - n) ÷ 4/7 = -1 ÷ 4/7

4/7(7 - n) × 7/4 = -1 × 7/4

7 - n = -7/4

- n = (-7-28)/4

- n = -35/4

n = 35/4

D. All three chose a valid first step toward solving the equation.
