A science teacher ordered $3980 worth of microscopes and dissection kits for the new science lab. A total of 38 microscopes and 47 dissection kits were ordered. A microscope costs four times as much as a dissection kit. Write a system of linear equations that represents this situation. What is the cost of each item?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Cost of a kit is $20

cost of a microscope is $80

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to write a set of equations and solve

Let the cost of a microscope be $m while the cost of a kit be $k

Total cost of 38 microscopes will be 38 * m = $38m

Total cost of 47 kits = 47 * k = $47k

The sum of these is $3980

That will be;

47k + 38m = 3980 ••••••(i)

A microscope cost 4 times a kit

Mathematically;

m = 4k •••••••••(ii)

Substitute ii into i

47k + 38(4k) = 3980

47k + 152k = 3980

199k = 3980

k = 3980/199

k = $20

Recall;

m = 4k

m = 4 * 20 = $80

Step-by-step explanation:

The inequality is 15 - 1 < 14, but this is incorrect. 14 can not be less than 14. In order for the left side to be less than 14, the x value (currently representing 1) should be larger than what it currently is to make the statement true.

Therefore, x>1

Triangle ABC is rotated 180 degrees around point B and then dilated to form triangle DBE as shown. Which postulate or theorem establishes that the triangles are similar? AA Similarity SSS Similarity SAS Similarity ASA Similarity

Answers

Answer:

AAA Similarity

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Triangles ABC and DBE

Required

Which postulate shows ABC and DBE similarity

From the question, we understand that the following transformation were done on ABC

RotationDilation

It should be noted that, when a triangle (e.g. triangle ABC) is rotated, the length of the sides and angle measurements remain unchanged.

However, when this triangle is dilated, the sides of the triangle change, but the angles remain unchanged.

Having said that,

When ABC is rotated and dilated to form DBE, we have:

[tex]\angle A = \angle D = a[/tex]

[tex]\angle B = \angle B = b[/tex]

[tex]\angle C = \angle E = c[/tex]

[See Attachment]

Hence, the postulate that answers this question is AAA (Angle-Angle-Angle).

Kevin and christy both saved money for their class trip . Kevin saved the same amount each week . The total amount that Kevin saved at the end of every two weeks in shown in the table below .

Answers

Answer:

D. Christy saved $3 per week more than Kevin.

Step-by-step explanation:

We already know how much Christy saves per week, because of the equation y = 26x. She saves $26 per week.

To find Kevin's per week savings, divide y by x. I'll do (6, 138) as an example.

138 / 6

What multiple of 60 is closest to 138 without going over. That's 120.

138 - 120 = 18

Now we know the constant (k) is greater than 20.

18 / 6

6 goes into 18 three times.

20 + 3 = $23 per week.

$23/week is less than $26/week, so to say Kevin earned more than Christy in one week is wrong. As a result, A and C are out.

Now subtract 23 from 26 to get a $3 per week difference, which is D.

Karl’s watering system rotates at a constant. One complete rotation takes 72 hours. Following the circular motion of the watering system, how many degrees was watered after TWO DAYS?

Answers

Answer:

After two days, 240 degrees was water.

Step-by-step explanation:

24 hours = 1 day

72 hr/24 hr = 3 days

Therefore, one full rotation takes 3 days.

1 rotation = 360 degrees

360 degrees/ 3 days = 120 degrees per day

120 degrees x 2 days = 240 degrees

240 degrees was watered after two days

What are the values of m x and a

Answers

Answer:

The value of x is 3

The value of m is 5.25

The value of a is 1.75

Step-by-step explanation:

I attached the picture with labels to can solve

In the 2 Δs ADE and ACF

∵ DE // CF

∴ m∠ADE = m∠ACF ⇒ corresponding angles

∴ m∠AED = m∠AFC ⇒ corresponding angles

→ By using the AA postulate of similarity

The two triangles are similar

∴ Their corresponding sides have the same ratio

∴ [tex]\frac{AD}{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{EA}{FA}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{DE}{CF}[/tex]

∵ AD = AB + BC + CD

∵ AB = 3, BC = 6, CD = x

∴ AD = 3 + 6 + x

AD = 9 + x

∵ AC = AB + BC = 3 + 6

AC = 9

∵ AE = AG + GF + FE

∵ AG = 4, GF = 8, FE = 4

∴ AE = 4 + 8 + 4

AE = 16

∵ FA = AG + GF = 4 + 8

FA = 12

DE = 7 and CF = m

→ Substitute them in the ratio above

∴ [tex]\frac{9+x}{9}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{16}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{7}{m}[/tex]

→ By using cross multiplication with the first 2 fractions

12 × (9 + x) = 9 × 16

∴ 12(9) + 12(x) = 144

∴ 108 + 12x = 144

→ Subtract 108 from both sides

∴ 108 - 108 + 12x = 144 - 108

∴ 12x = 36

→ Divide both sides by 12 to find x

x = 3

→ By using cross multiplication with the second 2 fractions

16 × m = 12 × 7

∴ 16m = 84

→ Divide both sides by 16

m = 5.25

In the 2 Δs ABG and ACF

∵ BG // CF

∴ m∠ABG = m∠ACF ⇒ Corresponding angles

∴ m∠AGB = m∠AFC ⇒ corresponding angles

→ By using the AA postulate of similarity

The two triangles are similar

∴ Their corresponding sides have the same ratio

∴ [tex]\frac{AB}{AC}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{GA}{FA}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{BG}{CF}[/tex]

AB = 3 and AC = 9

GA = 4 and FA = 12

BG = a and CF = m = 5.25

→ Substitute them in the ratio above

∴ [tex]\frac{3}{6}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{4}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{a}{5.25}[/tex]

→ By using cross multiplication with the second 2 fractions

12 × a = 4 × 5.25

∴ 12a = 21

→ Divide both sides by 12 to find a

a = 1.75
