Peter and Pam are both avid swimmers. Last week Pete swam twice as many hours s Pam. Together they swam a total of 18 hours. How many hours did each swim?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Peter swam 12 hours, Pam swam 6

Step-by-step explanation:

Pam = x

Peter = y

y = 2x (this is because Peter swam twice as much)

y + x = 18 (this is because they both swam a total of 18 hours)

2x + x = 18 (substitute for y)

3x = 18

x = 6 (pam)

Now, I just need to substitute x = 6 into original equation.

y = 2(6)

y = 12 (peter)

Answer 2

Answer:

Peter- 12 hours

Pam- 6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

You can set it up an an equation.

P = Peter

18= P + (P/2)

Solve.

36=2P+p

36=3P

P=12

Peter swam 12 hours.

Then 18-12= 6, Pam's number of hours.

Give coordinates for three possible pairs of points for the other two verticies...

Answers

Answer:

A) (-1,3) and (4,3)

B) (-1,-7) and (4,-7)

C) (1.5, .5) and (1.5, -4.5)

Step-by-step explanation:

For 1 and 2, because the y-values of the points are the same, the length of the square can be found by subtracting the x-coordinates.

4-(-1)=4+1=5

The length of the side of the square is 5.

1. For the first set of points, the square is above the two given points so just add 5 to the y-values

-2+5=3

This gives you the points:

(-1,3) and (4,3)

2. For the second set of points, the square is below the two given points so subtract 5 from the y-values.

-2-5=-7

This give you the points:

(-1,-7) and (4,-7)

3. The third answer is when the two given points are on opposite corners

of the square.

Here the diagonal is equal to 5 since they are on opposite corners of the square.

The diagonal of a square can be found with the pythagorean theorem

Since we have the diagonal we can find the side lengths we need.

[tex]2s^2=25[/tex]

s=[tex]\sqrt{\frac{25}{2} }[/tex]

s=3.5355

We want the new vertices to be in the middle of the other vertices x-coordinates

[tex]\frac{4-(-1)}{2} =\frac{5}{2} =2.5[/tex]

The new vertices will be 2.5 units away from the other vertices

-1+2.5=1.5

The new vertices will be at x=1.5

Now we need the pythagorean theorem again to find the y-values

[tex](2.5)^2+h^2=(3.5355)^2[/tex]

[tex]6.25+h^2=\frac{25}{2}[/tex]

[tex]h=\sqrt{\frac{25}{2} -6.25}[/tex]

h=2.5

The new vertices will be:

(1.5, -2+2.5)=(1., .5)

(1.5, -2-2.5)=(1.5, -4.5)

First, you can break 6 into 3 * 2.

[tex]\frac{6^4*15^3}{3^3*2^4} =\frac{3^4*2^4*15^3}{3^3*2^4}[/tex]

Then, cancel out the common factor of [tex]3^3[/tex]:

[tex]\frac{3^4*2^4*15^3}{3^3*2^4} =\frac{3*2^4*15^3}{2^4}[/tex]

Next, cancel out the common factor of [tex]2^4[/tex].

[tex]\frac{3*2^4*15^3}{2^4} =3*15^3[/tex]

You can evaluate it as 10125 if you'd like.

⇒ y - y₁ = m (x - x₁)

Where, m = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)

Given that;

The equation of line is,

⇒ y = 6/5x - 2

An arithmetic sequence is given below.
15, 19, 23 ,27 …
Write an explicit formula for the nth term an

Answers

Step-by-step explanation:

arithmetic sequence means every new term is the previous term plus a certain constant.

as we can see, this constant is +4 in our case.

15 + 4 = 19

19 + 4 = 23

23 + 4 = 27

...

so, we have

a1 = 15

a2 = a1 + 4 = 15 + 4 = 19

a3 = a2 + 4 = a1 + 4 + 4 = a1 + 2×4 = 15 + 8 = 23

...

an = an-1 + 4 = a1 + (n-1)×4 = 15 + (n-1)×4

kate has $2.95 in quarters and nickels and the total number of ocins is 23 how many quarters and how many nickels does kat have

Answers

Answer: 9 quarters and 14 nickels

Step-by-step explanation:

9*25=225

14*5=70

225+70=295

The total number of nickels is 14 and the total number of quarters is 9 and this can be determined by forming the linear equation.

Given :

kate has $2.95 in quarters and nickels and the total number of coins is 23.

The following steps can be used in order to determine the total number of quarters and nickels Kat have:

Step 1 - Let the total number of quarters be 'x' and the total number of nickels be 'y'.

Step 2 - Remember one quarter is equal to $0.25 and one nickel is $0.05.

Step 3 - The total amount of money Kat has:

0.25x + 0.05y = 2.95  --- (1)

Step 4 - Total number of coins is given by:

x + y = 23

x = 23 - y    --- (2)

Step 5 - Substitute the value of 'x' in equation (1).

0.25(23 - y) + 0.05y = 2.95

5.75 - 0.25y + 0.05y = 2.95

2.8 = 0.20y

y = 14

Step 6 - Now, substitute the value of 'y' in equation (2).

x = 23 - 14

x = 9

So, the total number of nickels is 14 and the total number of quarters is 9.
