May is going to the grocery store to buy bananas and oranges. The bananas can only be purchased in groups of 65 and the oranges can only be purchased in groups of 5. If May wants to buy the same amount of bananas and oranges, then what is the lowest quantity of bananas that May can buy?

Answers

Answer:

  65

Step-by-step explanation:

65 is a multiple of 5, so May can purchase 1 group of 65 bananas and 13 groups of 5 oranges to have 65 of each.

13. Xander and Kennedy have a bet to see who can get more "friends" on a social media side after 1 month. Kennedy
has 11 more friends than Xander when they start the competition. After much work, Kennedy doubles her amount
of friends and Xander quadruples (4 times) his. In the end they have a total of 232 friends.

Answers

Answer:

Xander has 140 friends

Kennedy has 92 friends

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x represent # of friends Xander has at the start

Let x+11 represent # of friends Kennedy has at the start

Let 2(x+11) rep. the final # of friends Kennedy has

Let 4x rep. the final # of friends Xander has

Total = 232

So we just need to solve for x:

2(x+11) + 4x = 232

2x + 22 + 4x = 232

6x = 210

x = 35             < - This means that xander started with 4 friends.

Sub x to find friends for each:

4x = ?

4(35) = 140 friends

2(x+11) = ?

2(35+11) = 92

_____meters by ____ meters
PLEASEE HELPP MEE PLEASEEEE!

Answers

Half the perimeter is the length + the width

62/2 = 31

Area = length x width

16 + 15 = 31, 15 x 16 = 240

17 + 14 = 31, 17 x 14 = 238

20 + 11 = 31,  20 x 11 = 220

Answer: 20 meters x 11 meters

$14,038 is invested, part at 14% and the rest at 12%. If the interest earned from the amount invested at 14% exceeds the interest earned from the amount invested at 12% by $984.34, how much is invested at each rate? (Round to two decimal places if necessary.)

Answers

Answer:

492.99

Step-by-step explanation: x = amount invested at 12%

y = amount invested at 9%

---

x + y = 20287

0.12x = 0.09y + 492.99

---

put the system of linear equations into standard form

---

x + y = 20287

0.12x - 0.09y = 492.99

The amount invested at 14% is $4144 and the amount invested at 12% is $9894.

What is simple interest?

Simple interest is a method of calculating the interest charge. Simple interest can be calculated as the product of principal amount, rate and time period.

Simple Interest = (Principal × Rate × Time) / 100

We are given that;

Investment at 14%= $14,038

Investment at 12%= $984.34

Now,

Let x be the amount invested at 14% and y be the amount invested at 12%. Then we have:

x + y = 14038 (total amount invested)

0.14x - 0.12y = 984.34 (difference in interest)

We can solve this system of equations by substitution or elimination. For example, by elimination, we can multiply the first equation by 0.12 and subtract it from the second equation to get:

0.02x = 82.88

x = 4144

Then we can plug x into the first equation and get:

y = 14038 - 4144

y = 9894

Therefore, the simple interest will be $4144 and $9894.

-6(-5n+3)+2=-166

PLEASE HELP ;(((((((

Answers

Answer:

n = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

-6(-5n+3)+2=-166

distribute the -6

- 6 * -5n = 30n

-6 * 3 = - 18

30n - 18 + 2 = -166

combine like terms

30n - 16 = -166

add 16 to both sides

30n = -150

divide both sides by 30

30n/30=n

-150/30=-5

we're left with n = -5

you start by subtracting 2 from both sides and distributing the 6 inside the parentheses. this gives you 30n-18=-168. from there you add 18 to both sides to get 30n=-150. you next divide both sides by 30 to get your final answer of n=-5

2. -5-(-20)/6-(-18) gives us 15/24. We can simplify this to 5/8. The slope is 5/8.

3. -19-(-19)/-17-(-18) is 0/1. The slope is 0.

Answers

Answer:

  a) gallons

  b) gallons

Step-by-step explanation:

a)

1 fluid ounce is about 6 teaspoons or 30 cubic centimeters or 1.8 cubic inches. 2.3×10^4 fluid ounces is less than 1 cubic yard. We suspect the pool is much larger than that, so its volume is probably measured in gallons.

__

b)

Of the units listed, only teaspoons and gallons are units of volume. As we saw in the previous problem, a teaspoon is a pretty small volume in relation to the size of most fish tanks. The appropriate unit of measure would be gallons.

how do I write an equation of a line that is parallel to 2x-3y=15

Answers

The line given is -2x + 3y = 15, so we must rearrange:

=> 3y = 2x + 15
=> y = 2/3 x + 5

These two equations are EQUIVALENT, but one is in slope intercept form, the other isn't.

So in this case, gradient is 2/3 (or 2 units up, and 3 units across).

And we know that parallel lines have the same gradient. Hence, the general equation for lines parallel to it will be:

y = 2/3 x + n

where n can be any number (positive/negative, decimal/fraction/integer) except 5, which is original line.

For example, y = 2/3 x + 2
