On a plane, 2 men had 135 kilograms of luggage added together. The first paid $1.35 for his excess luggage and the second paid $2.70 for his excess luggage. The charge was at a flat rate. If all of the luggage belonged to one person, the ecess luggage charge would have been $8.10. At most, how many kilograms of luggag is each person permitted to bring onto the plane free of an additional charge?A. 55 kilogramsB. 50 kilogramsC. 45 kilogramsD. 40 kilograms

Answers

Answer 1

Let's call the amount of lugagge the first men had as x, and the amount of lugagge the second men had as y.

Since both had to pay for excess of luggage, both had the permitted amount of luggage plus an extra amount. Let's call the permitted amount as a, the extra the first men had as z, and the extra the second man had as w. Then, our total amounts of luggage can be rewritten as

[tex]\begin{gathered} x=a+z \\ y=a+w \end{gathered}[/tex]

Since their total amount of luggage added together was 135 kg, this gives to us the following equation

[tex]x+y=135[/tex]

The charge for the extra luggage is a flat rate, let's call it r, then, the price you pay for the extra luggage is given by the product between this rate and the amount of extar luggage. The first paid $1.35 for his excess luggage and the second paid $2.70 for his excess luggage, therefore

[tex]\begin{gathered} zr=1.35 \\ wr=2.70 \end{gathered}[/tex]

If we divide one equation by the other, we can write the excess of luggage of one as a function of the other.

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{zr}{wr}=\frac{1.35}{2.70} \\ \frac{z}{w}=\frac{1}{2} \\ w=2z \end{gathered}[/tex]

If all of the luggage belonged to one person, this person would have to pay $8.10 for the excess. If we call the excess of this person as p, the amount of luggage this person had would be

[tex]a+p=135[/tex]

Using the "rate formula" we created before, we can also write p as a function of z.

[tex]pr=8.10\Rightarrow\frac{pr}{zr}=\frac{8.10}{1.35}\Rightarrow p=6z[/tex]

Rewritting all the total amounts, we have

[tex]\begin{gathered} a+6z=135 \\ a+2z=y \\ a+z=x \end{gathered}[/tex]

If we add the equations for x and y together, we have

[tex]\begin{gathered} (a+z)+(a+2z)=(x)+(y) \\ a+z+a+2z=x+y \\ 2a+3z=x+y \end{gathered}[/tex]

From the first equation, we know that the sum between both total amounts of luggage is equal to 135.

[tex]\begin{cases}x+y=135 \\ 2a+3z=x+y\end{cases}\Rightarrow2a+3z=135[/tex]

Now, we have two equations for our two variables.

[tex]\begin{cases}2a+3z=135 \\ a+6z=135\end{cases}[/tex]

If we multiply the first equation by 2, and subtract the second equation, we're going to get a new equation only for a(the amount in kilograms of permitted luggage).

[tex]\begin{gathered} 2\cdot(2a+3z)-(a+6z)=2\cdot(135)-135 \\ 4a+6z-a-6z=270-135 \\ 3a=135 \\ a=45 \end{gathered}[/tex]

The amount of luggage permitted to bring onto the plane for free is 45 kilograms.

Find the distance between the following two points: (3, 2) and (0, -4).

Answers

The distance between the 2 given points is √45.

What is the distance?Distance is the sum of an object's movements, regardless of direction. The distance can be defined as the amount of space an object has covered, regardless of its starting or ending point. Distance is a measurement of how far apart two objects or points are, either numerically or occasionally qualitatively. The distance can refer to a physical length in physics or to an estimate based on other factors in common usage.

So, the distance between (3, 2) and (0, -4) is:

The distance formula: D = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]

Now, substitute the values in the formula and solve as follows:

D = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]D = √[(0 - 3)² + ((-4) - 2)²]D = √[(-3)² + (-6)²]D = √[9 + 36]D = √45

Therefore, the distance between the 2 given points is √45.

Suppose that an individual has a body fat percentage of 14.4% and weighs 148 pounds. How many pounds of her weight is made up of fat? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answers

An individual has a body fat percentage of 14.4% and weighs 148 pounds,

total pounds of her weight is made up of fat is 21.3pounds (nearest tenth).

As given in the question,

→ 1.2 + 0.3x = 4.5

solve the system by elimination

Answers

Answer:

x= -9, y= -4

Step-by-step explanation:

Solving a linear equation can be done by two main methods, namely elimination and substitution. Elimination works by making the numerical value of one of the variable's coefficient the same, such that we can subsequently eliminate (or remove) the variable by subtracting or adding the two equations together.

Start by labelling the 2 given equations:

2x -5y= 2-----(1)

3x -7y= 1-----(2)

I will be working to eliminate the x term here, since we would be dealing with smaller numbers in this case. Eliminating the y term would also work.

The lowest common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6, thus multiply equation (1) by 3 and (2) by 2 so that the coefficient of x in both equations is 6. Then label the equations.

(1) ×3:

6x -15y= 6 -----(3)

(2) ×2:

6x -14y= 2 -----(4)

Since the coefficient of x in both equations is positive 6, we can subtract one equation from the other to eliminate the x term. If both coefficients have different signs (e.g. +6 and -6), the addition of the two equations would eliminate the term.

(3) -(4):

6x -15y -(6x -14y)= 6 -2

Expand:

6x -15y -6x +14y= 4

-y= 4

Divide both sides by -1:

y= -4

Then use substitution to find the value of y. Note that at this point, you could work to eliminate the y term from equations (1) and (2) to solve for x but it is commonly understood that when a question states solve by elimination, it is only for the first variable.

Substitute y= -4 into (1):

2x -5(-4)= 2

2x +20= 2

Subtract 20 from both sides:

2x= 2-20

2x= -18

Divide both sides by 2:

x= -9

The scale of a map of Pennsylvania is 1 inch: 25 miles. The actual distance from Ambridge to Pittsburgh is 20 miles. What is the distance on the map?

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

1 inch = 25 miles

or as ratio

1 inch : 25 miles

1 : 25 or 1/25

a ratio is nothing else than a fraction (just with special meaning, but the handling, calculation, transformation and simplification is the same).

the checked distance is 20 miles.

so, we need to transform the ratio (in the same way as we transform fractions) to show 20 instead of 25 in the denominator.

25 × f = 20

f = 20/25 = 4/5

remember, we need to multiply 1/25 by f/f to keep the original value of the ratio unchanged.

1/25 × 4/5/4/5 = (4/5)/(25×4/5) = (4/5)/20

so, the distance on the map is 4/5 in.

She buys 8 bags of oranges that each cost the same amount.

Write and solve an equation which can be used to determine xx, how much each bag of oranges costs.

Answers

Algebraic equation - The cost of each bag of Oranges =  $6.63

What is Algebraic equation ?

An algebraic equation, sometimes known as a polynomial equation, in mathematics is a formula of the form P=0, where P is a polynomial with coefficients in some field, typically the field of the rational numbers.

Let the cost one bag of oranges be x

Given,

Total amount she pays =  $59.53

Total amount she pays for ice cream = $6.49

Since the total amount for 8 bag of oranges = 8x  

Therefore, the equation of the following will be

8x + 6.49 = 59.53

Now by solving the equation we get the cost of each bag of oranges

8x = 59.53 - 6.49

8x = 53.04

x   = 53.04 / 8

x   = 6.63

Hence, The cost of each bag of oranges will be $6.63

The monthly payment of Jason with no additional charge is found as  $1,556.53.

What is meant by the compound interest?Compound interest is investment determined just on initial principal plus all previous periods' accumulated interest.A power of interest compounding is the ability to generate "interest on interest."Interest could be compounded at any time, from continuously to daily to annually.Compounding accelerates the growth of money.

The formula for the calculation of the compound interest is;

CI = A - P

A = P(1 + r/100n)∧nt

Where,

CI  = compound interestA = total amount after given timeP = principal amountT = total time in yearsn = number of time interest compoundedr = rate of interest in %

The given values are;

P = $3,561.05 T = 2 yearsn = 12×2 = 24 times.R = 18.2%

Put the values in the formula;

CI = $3,561.05(1 + 18.2/24×100)∧24×2 - $3,561.05

Simplifying;

CI =  $3,561.05×1.43 - $3,561.05

CI = $5117.58 -  $3,561.05

CI = $1,556.53

A reflection can be defined as a type of transformation which moves every point of the object by producing a flipped but mirror image of the geometric figure.

In Mathematics, a reflection over the x-axis is given by this transformation rule:

Point T = (-2, 4) → Point T' = (-2, -4)

In Geometry, a reflection over the y-axis of a graph is given by this transformation rule (x, y) → (-x, y). This ultimately implies that, the coordinates of point T' after a reflection over the y-axis is as follows:
