A factory produces 5-packs of pencils. To be within the weight specifications, a pack of 5 pencils should weigh between 60 grams

and 95 grams. The cardboard for each package has a mass of 15 grams. Write a compound inequality to represent of a single pencil in a pack. Can each pencil have a mass of 10.5 grams?

Given:
1 pack = 5 pencils and cardboard.
1 pack must be between 60 grams and 95 grams

60g < x < 95g ; where x represents 1 pack.

Card board: 15 grams.

95g - 15g = 80g maximum total weight of 5 pencils
80g / 5 = 16g maximum weight of a single pencil

60g - 15g = 45g minimum total weight of 5 pencils
45g / 5 =9g minimum weight of a single pencil

9 < x < 16 ; where x represents a single pencil in the pack.

Adam is working two summer jobs, making $9 per hour washing cars and $8 per hour walking dogs. Last week Adam earned a total of
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Washing cars= 4 hours

Walking dogs= 10 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You want to start by creating equations. So one thing we know is that he makes $9 an hour washing cars(x) and $8 walking dogs(y).

$9x+$8y=$116

The second Equation is based off of the hours worked. We know that he worked 6 hours more walking the dogs than he did washing cars, so we can take x(being the washing hours) and add 6 to it to equal y (the number of dog hours).

y=x+6

Now You plug what y equals into the first equation to solve for x.

9x+8(x+6)=116     Next distribute the 8 to each term.

9x+8(x)+8(6)=116

9x+8x+48=116     Add the like terms together (9x+8x)

17x+48=116         Subtract the 48 from both sides

     -48  -48

17x=68             Now divide by 17 on both sides.

______

17    17

x=4                 Finally we can take x and plug it back in to one of the equations in order to solve for y. I'm going to choose the second equation.

y=(4)+6

y=10

Now imagine that instead of walking along the path 1→2→3→4→1, ann walks 80 meters on a straight line 33∘ north of east starting
stealth61 [152]

Answer:

Anna's walk  as a vector representation is 80\cos 33^{\circ}\hat{i}+80 \sin33^{\circ}\hat{j} and refer attachment.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the origin be the point 1 from where Ann start walking.

Ann walks 80 meters on a straight line 33° north of the east starting at point 1 as shown in figure below,

Resolving into the vectors, the vertical component will be 80Sin33° and Horizontal component will be 80Cos33° as shown in figure (2)

Ann walk as a vector representation is 80\cos 33^{\circ}\hat{i}+80 \sin33^{\circ}\hat{j}

Thus, Anna's walk  as a vector representation is 80\cos 33^{\circ}\hat{i}+80 \sin33^{\circ}\hat{j}

Complete the sentence. the roots of the equation x^2 - 8x - 48 = 0 are -4 and *blank*
prisoha [69]

Answer:

12 is the answer.

Step-by-step explanation:

The best way to get the roots of the equation is to factorize the equation but when the factors are not possible then we should apply the quadratic equations formula to get the value of x.

Now we will try to factorize

x² - 8x -48 = 0

Now we multiply coefficient of highest degree term and constant term

48×1 = 48 which may be factored in 12×4. 8×6, 24×2.

Now we will choose 12×4 out of three because the 12-4 = 8 which is the coefficient of x.

Now its simple.

x²-12x + 4x -48 = 0

x(x -12) + 4(x-12) = 0

(x +4)(x-12) = 0

Therefore roots are x + 4 = 0

x = -4

and x - 12 = 0

x = 12

So the answer is 12.

Mike and Jasmine have a combined age of 30. Mike is 3 years younger than twice Jasmines age. How old is Mike?
Kamila [148]
Mike is 19.

If you turn the question into an equation it turns to:
J x 2 - 3 = M

So since you don’t know Jasmine’s age you would use guess and check. 8,9, and 10 didn’t work but when you put in 11:
11 x 2 - 3 = M
22 - 3 = M
19 = M

And to check your work
J + M has to equal 30 so,
11 + 19 = 30
30 = 30
