Answer:
y = 50x + 200
Step-by-step explanation:
the 200 is the y intercept because it is where his pay starts, so even if Matt doesnt make any sales he will still get 200 that week
the slope (50) is determined because that is what will change
if he makes 2 sales he will make 100 + 200 that week, and if he makes 4 sales he will make 200 + 200 that week and so on
Answer:
See below.
Step-by-step explanation:
Polly has the least. Let's work this from least to greatest.
They have £270. They share it together. Polly has £30. Andy has £60, and Phoebe has £180.
180 + 60 = 240.
240 + 30 = 270.
Pho: £180
Andy: £60
Polly: £30.
hope this helps.
Answers:
- Total equation: x+y = 80
- Legs equation: 2x+4y = 248
- How many ducks? 36
- How many cows? 44
====================================================
Further explanation:
- x = number of ducks
- y = number of cows
x+y = 80 is the total equation (ie the head count equation) since we assume each animal has 1 head, and there are 80 heads total.
That equation can be solved to y = 80-x after subtracting x from both sides.
The legs equation is 2x+4y = 248 because...
- 2x = number of legs from all the ducks only
- 4y = number of legs from all the cows only
- 2x+4y = total number of legs from both types of animals combined
We're told there are 248 legs overall, so that's how we ended up with 2x+4y = 248
------------
Let's plug y = 80-x into the second equation and solve for x.
2x+4y = 248
2x+4( y ) = 248
2x+4( 80-x ) = 248
2x+320-4x = 248
-2x+320 = 248
-2x = 248-320
-2x = -72
x = -72/(-2)
x = 36
There are 36 ducks
Now use this x value to find y
y = 80-x
y = 80-36
y = 44
There are 44 cows.
------------
Check:
36 ducks + 44 cows = 80 animals total
36*2 + 44*4 = 72 + 176 = 248 legs total
The answers are confirmed.
Using proportions, it is found that Felipe needs 23.625 meters of wood to make that many birdhouses.
<h3>What is a proportion?</h3>
A proportion is a fraction of a total amount, and the measures are related using a rule of three. Due to this, relations between variables, either direct or inverse proportional, can be built to find the desired measures in the problem.
To make an amount, he needs 5 1/4 meters = 5.25 meters. How many meters he needs to make 4 1/2 = 4.5 times the amount?
5.25 x 4.5 = 23.625 meters.
Felipe needs 23.625 meters of wood to make that many birdhouses.
