years sale?

To solve this problem, we can set up an equation, letting the unknown value of last month's supply sales be represented by the variable x.

First, we must convert 78% to its decimal equivalent, by dividing 78/100. This is because percentages are parts of a whole 100 percent.

78/100 = 0.78

Now, we are ready to set up our equation, using our knowledge that the word "of" refers to multiplication in mathematics.

3,285 = 0.78x

To solve our equation, we must divide both sides of the equation by 0.78 to get the variable x alone on the right side of the equation.

x = 4211.53846154

This means that last month's supply sales were about $4,211.54 (we round the last digit up because 8 is greater than 5).

Hope this helps!

A dairy sells $3 and $5 ice creams. In one day they sell 50 ice creams earning a total of $180. How many of each type of ice cre
murzikaleks [220]
We are going to make simultaneous equations.
x will be our $3 ice cream and y will be our $5 ice cream

Equation1 ----            x + y = 50   (the sum of all the ice creams they sell)
Equation 2 ----          3x + 5y = 180  Sum of all the $3 and $5 ice creams is $180
Since we can't solve for both variables we will put one of the variables in terms of the other.
Take x+y=50 and subtract y from both sides.  (I could have done subtracted x - it did not matter).       Now we have x= ₋ y +50  (negative y +50)
Now I am going to take equation 2 and replace the x with -y +50

3 (-y +50) + 5y = 180   
Now I will use the distributive law on the 3 and what's in the parentheses:
-3y + 150 + 5y = 180
Now I will combine like terms (the -3y and the 5y)
2y + 150 = 180
Now subtract 150 from both sides of the equation
2y = 30
Divide both sides by 2
and get y= 15 They sold 15 ice creams that cost $5 each
Since equation 1  is  x+y=50 we can replace y with 15
x + 15 = 50    Now subtract 15 from both sides  x = 35
Since x represents the $3 ice creams, they sold 35 of those.
Check:
35 X 3 = $105
15 x 5  = +  <u>75
</u>               $180

Use the method of cylindrical shells to find the volume V generated by rotating the region bounded by the given curves about the
xenn [34]

Answer:

As per the given statement:

The region bounded by the given curves about the y-axis, y = 13e^{-x^2}, y=0, x = 0 and x = 1

Using cylindrical shell method:

The volume of solid(V) is obtained by rotating about y-axis and the region under the curve y = f(x) from a to b is;

V = \int_{a}^{b} 2\pi x f(x) dx   where 0\leq a

where x is the radius of the cylinder

f(x) is the height of the cylinder.

From the given figure:

radius = x

height(h) =f(x) =y=13e^{-x^2}

a = 0 and b = 1

So, the volume V generated by rotating the given region:

V =2 \pi \int_{0}^{1} x ( 13e^{-x^2}) dx\\\\V=2\pi\left [ -\frac{13}{2}e^{-x^2} \right ]_{0}^{1}\\\\V=2\pi\left (-\frac{13}{2e}-\left(-\frac{13}{2}\right) \right )\\\\V=-\frac{13\pi }{e}+13\pi

therefore, the volume of V generated by rotating the given region is V=-\frac{13\pi }{e}+13\pi

The following table shows last year's revenue for each Herman's Hoagies location.
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

The revenue for Granton location is 175 thousand dollars

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Cedarton 121

Rimber 189

Linton 147

Mean = 158

Required

Revenue for Granton location.

To calculate the revenue for Granton location, we make use of mean formula.

Mean is calculated by Summation of Observation divided by number of observations.

Since Granton location is unknown; Let it be represented by letter G.

So, the summation of observation becomes 121 + 189 + 147 + G

Summation = 457 + G

The number of observations = 4

Recall that Mean = Summation ÷ Number

By substituting 158 for mean, 457 + G for summation and 4 for number, we have

158 = (457 + G) ÷ 4

158 = ¼(457 + G)

Multiply both sides by 4

4 * 158 = = 4 * ¼(457 + G)

632 = 457 + G

Make G the subject of formula

G = 632 - 457

G = 175

Hence, the revenue for Granton location is 175 thousand dollars

The polynomial 10x3 + 35x2 − 4x − 14 is factored by grouping.
vova2212 [387]

Answer: the coomon factor that is missing from both sets of parentheses is 2x + 7.


Explanation:


These are the steps to factor the polynomial with the reasons that justify them:


Step                                                   Reason

1. 10x³ + 35x² - 4x - 14                       Given

2. (10x³ + 35x²) - (4x + 14)                 Group the terms

3. 5x² (2x + 7) - 2 (2x + 7)                Common factor 5x² and 2


After this, you extract common factor 2x + 7 and have the complete factored polynomial: (2x + 7) (5x² - 2).

Make x the subject of the following relations. 2y+3=5x-18​
nekit [7.7K]

Step-by-step explanation:

2y+3=5x-18

swap both sides

5x-18=2y+3

add 18 to both sides

5x-18+18=2y+3+18

5x=2y+21

divide both sides by

5x/5=2y+21/5

X=2y+21/5
