N - Nicholes money
M - Marys money

(1) N + M = 4800 ⇒ N = 4800 - M
(2) N - 800 = M - 2/5M ⇒ N - 800 = 3/5M

subtitute (1) to (2)

4800 - M - 800 = 3/5M
4000 - M = 3/5M
-M - 3/5M = -4000
-8/5M = -4000  |multiply both sides by (-5/8)
M = 2500

subtitute the value of M to (1)

N = 4800 - 2500
N = 2300

Answer: Mary had at first $2500. (Nichole: $2300).

Examine the steps used to solve the equation.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

12.5x − 10.2 = 3(2.5x + 4.2) - 6  

Use the distributive property to distribute the 3

12.5x − 10.2 = 7.5x + 12.6 − 6  

Combine like terms

12.5x − 10.2 = 7.5x + 6.6  

Add 10.2 to each side of the equation by using the addition property of equality

12.5x = 7.5x + 16.8

Subtraction 7.5x from each side of the equation by using the subtraction property of equality

5x = 16.8  

Divide by 5 on each side by using the division property of equality

x = 3.36

The area of a square is stored in a double variable named area. write an expression whose value is length of the diagonal of the
lbvjy [14]

First of all, a bit of theory: since the area of a square is given by

A = s^2

where s is the length of the square. So, if we invert this function we have

s = \sqrt{A}.

Moreover, the diagonal of a square cuts the square in two isosceles right triangles, whose legs are the sides, so the diagonal is the hypothenuse and it can be found by

d = \sqrt{s^2+s^2} = \sqrt{2s^2} = s\sqrt{2}

So, the diagonal is the side length, multiplied by the square root of 2.

With that being said, your function could be something like this:

double diagonalFromArea(double area) {

double side = Math.sqrt(area);

double diagonal = side * Math.sqrt(2);

return diagonal;

}

A function f(x) has x intercepts of -3 and -5. What is the constant term in the function?
Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The constant term in the function is 5

Step-by-step explanation:

we have

f(x)=x^{2}+8x+b

where

b is the y-intercept or the constant term of the function

Remember that

The x-intercept is the value of x when the value of the function is equal to zero

so

For x=-3 ----> f(x)=0

For x=-5 ----> f(x)=0

substitute any of the intercepts in the function

For x=-3

0=(-3)^{2}+8(-3)+b

0=9-24+b

0=-15+b

b=15

f(x)=x^{2}+8x+15

Verify with the other intercept

For x=-5

0=(-5)^{2}+8(-5)+15

0=25-40+15

0=0 ---> is true

therefore

The constant term in the function is 5
