8. Finley has 152 yellow, red, and blue marbles in a bag. He has seven more red marbles than yellow marbles, and three times as

many blue marbles as yellow marbles. How many yellow marbles does Finley have? Write an equation to represent this problem. Then solve the equation. A. x + x + 7 + 5x = 152; x = 21 B. x + x + 7 + 3x = 152; x = 29 C. x + x + 7 + x = 152; x = 48 D. x + x + 7 + 2x = 152; x = 36

Let number of yellow marbles = x

Let number of red marbles = y

Let number of blue marbles = z


Given that Finley has 152 yellow, red, and blue marbles in a bag.

So we get equation:

x+y+z=152...(i)


"He has seven more red marbles than yellow marbles" means:

y=x+7...(ii)

"three times as many blue marbles as yellow marbles." means:

z=3x...(iii)

Now we just need to solve those equations to find the answer.


Plug (ii) and (iii) into (i)


x+(x+7)+(3x)=152

x+x+7+3x=152

Which looks similar to choice (B)


5x+7=152

5x=145

x=29

Hence final answer is choice B.

Required equation is

x+x+7+3x=152

Number of yellow marbles = 29

The temperature at a point (x, y) on a flat metal plate is given by T(x, y) = 88/(2 + x2 + y2), where T is measured in °C and x,
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

D_uT(3,1)=-\frac{44}{9}*\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } \approx-3.46

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the rate of change of temperature with respect to distance at the point (3, 1) in the x-direction and the y-direction we need to find the Directional Derivative of T(x,y). The definition of the directional derivative is given by:

D_uT(x,y)=T_x(x,y)i+T_y(x,y)j

Where i and j are the rectangular components of a unit vector. In this case, the problem don't give us additional information, so let's asume:

i=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }

j=\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }

So, we need to find the partial derivative with respect to x and y:

In order to do the things easier let's make the next substitution:

u=2+x^2+y^2

and express T(x,y) as:

T(x,y)=88*u^{-1}

The partial derivative with respect to x is:

Using the chain rule:

\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}=2x

Hence:

T_x(x,y)=88*(u^{-2})*\frac{\partial u}{\partial x}

Symplying the expression and replacing the value of u:

T_x(x,y)=\frac{-176x}{(2+x^2+y^2)^2}

The partial derivative with respect to y is:

Using the chain rule:

\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}=2y

Hence:

T_y(x,y)=88*(u^{-2})*\frac{\partial u}{\partial y}

Symplying the expression and replacing the value of u:

T_y(x,y)=\frac{-176y}{(2+x^2+y^2)^2}

Therefore:

D_uT(x,y)=(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } )*(\frac{-176x}{(2+x^2+y^2)^2} -\frac{176y}{(2+x^2+y^2)^2})

Evaluating the point (3,1)

D_uT(3,1)=(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} } )*(\frac{-176(3)-176(1)}{(2+3^2+1^2)^2})=(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} })* (-\frac{704}{144})=(\frac{1}{\sqrt{2} }) ( - \frac{44}{9})\approx -3.46

A white-tailed deer can sprint at speeds up to 30 miles per hour. American bison can run at speeds up to 3,520 feet per minute.
Paul [167]

3520/5280 = 2/3 of a mile per minute.

2/3 x 60 minutes per hour = 40 miles per hour.

40-30 = 10

Bison runs 40 miles per hour

The bison runs 10 miles an hour faster than the deer
