Andrew bought 3 baseball cards for $240. After a few months, he got an offer from his friend Jack to buy the first card for double its original value, along with either the second or third card. Andrew decided to sell the first card (at double its original value) along with the second card (at its original price) and got $320 for it. Or, selling the first card (at double its original value) card along with the third card (at its original price) would have only got him $280. What were the original prices for each of the 3 baseball cards?

Answers

Answer 1
Final answer:

The original prices for the baseball cards are $120, $80, and $40.

Explanation:

Let's say the original prices of the first, second, and third baseball cards are x, y, and z respectively.

From the given information, we can form the following equations:

2x + y = 320 2x + z = 280 x + y + z = 240

Solving these equations simultaneously, we can find the original prices:

x = $120 y = $80 z = $40

Therefore, the original prices for the first, second, and third baseball cards are $120, $80, and $40 respectively.

Answer 2

Final answer:

The original prices of the 3 baseball cards were $88 for the first card, $56 for the second card, and $96 for the third card, worked out via a system of equations derived from the given information.

Explanation:

We're given that Andrew bought 3 baseball cards for a total of $240. When he sells the first card at double its original value along with the second card at its original price, the total is $320. Conversely, if he sells the first card at double its original value along with the third card, the total is $280.

Let's denote the original prices of the first, second, and third cards as F, S, and T respectively. We have two equations based on the information provided:

2F + S = $320

2F + T = $280

We also know the sum of the original prices:

F + S + T = $240

Subtracting each equation from the combined original price, we get:

S = $240 - T

T = $240 - S

Plugging these into our original equations:

2F + ($240 - T) = $320

2F + ($240 - S) = $280

Solving these equations, we find:

2F = $320 - ($240 - T) => 2F = $80 + T

2F = $280 - ($240 - S) => 2F = $40 + S

Therefore, T - S = $40. Now, using equation 3, F = $240 - S - T, we substitute T = S + $40 to get:

F = $240 - S - (S + $40) => F = $200 - 2S

And if we substitute this into 2F = $80 + T:

2($200 - 2S) = $80 + T

$400 - 4S = $80 + T

T = $320 - 4S

Combining this with T = S + $40, we get:

S + $40 = $320 - 4S => 5S = $280 => S = $56

Now we can find T and F:

T = $56 + $40 => T = $96

F = $200 - 2($56) => F = $88

Thus, the original prices of the baseball cards were $88 for the first card, $56 for the second card, and $96 for the third card.

Marc earned $1,650 per month as an assistant technician at a recording studio. His new job pays $9.80 per hour with time and a half for all hours over 36 hours per week. How many hours of overtime per week will he need to work to earn the same amount per week as his current job?

Answers

Marc will need to work just over 4 hours of overtime each week at his new job, which pays $9.80 per hour and $14.70 per hour for overtime, to earn the equivalent of his previous monthly income of $1,650.

To determine the number of overtime hours Marc needs to work at his new job to earn the same monthly income he did at his previous job, we'll first calculate his weekly income at his old job, then use the overtime pay rates at the new job to find the equivalent number of hours needed.

Marc previously earned $1,650 per month. Assuming a standard 4-week month, his weekly income was:

$1,650 per month / 4 weeks per month = $412.50 per week.

At his new job, Marc earns $9.80 per hour with time and a half for all hours over 36 hours a week. This means his overtime pay is 1.5 times his hourly rate, which is:

$9.80 per hour x 1.5 = $14.70 per hour for overtime.

Marc's income for the first 36 hours at his new job would be:

36 hours x $9.80 per hour = $352.80

To earn the equivalent of his old weekly salary, we must make up the difference with overtime pay:

$412.50 (old weekly income) - $352.80 (new regular pay) = $59.70 needed from overtime.

To determine the overtime hours needed to make $59.70: $59.70 / $14.70 per hour = approximately 4.06 hours.

Therefore, Marc will need to work just over 4 hours of overtime each week to earn the same amount he did at his previous job.

Sheila is building a model for class. It's a tower that's designed to withstand high winds. She can use a maximum of 700 support beams and knows that each floor will require 22 beams. Sheila will track the number of beams that remain as she adds floors.
She can predict the number of beams that remain by using this function: remaining beams (y) is function of floor number (x).
How many beams will remain after she built 6 floors? Y=700-22(x)

Answers

700-132, which is 578 beams remaining.
Well.... 22 beams per floor. so 22(6) = 132
then, after having 700 beams, she used 12, so: 700 - 132 = 568
So. 568 beams remain.

what is the constant rate of change of y=7-13x

Answers

Final answer:

The constant rate of change in the linear equation y=7-13x is -13, representing the slope of the line which remains constant for any value of x. This is different from nonlinear functions, where the rate can vary with x.

Explanation:

The constant rate of change in the equation y=7-13x refers to the slope of the line represented by this linear equation. In this case, the constant rate of change, or the slope, is -13. This means for every one unit increase in x, y decreases by 13 units. Since the equation is linear, this rate does not change regardless of the value of x, unlike in nonlinear functions where the rate of change can vary with x.

To elaborate, if we have a nonlinear function, the rate of change depends on the interval of x we are looking at. For a linear function like this one, the slope is the same over any interval, so there's no need to compute it over smaller ranges of x to understand the rate of change.

Moreover, in calculus, the derivative represents the rate of change, and for a linear function, the derivative is simply the coefficient of x. Hence, the derivative of y with respect to x is -13. The derivative is zero for any constant term in a function, such as the 7 in the given equation.

B. P=4

Answers

Answer:

x=1, y=4

P=6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

[tex]3x+y\leq 7[/tex]

[tex]x+2y\leq 9[/tex]

[tex]x\geq 0[/tex]

[tex]y\geq 0[/tex]

Objective function

[tex]P=2x+y[/tex]

We have to values of x and y that maximize the P and maximum value of P .

First we change inequality equation into equality equation

[tex]3x+y=7[/tex]  (I equation )

[tex]x+2y=9[/tex]  (II equation)

Equation I multiply by 2 and then subtract from II equation

[tex]-5x=-5[/tex]

[tex]x=1[/tex]

Substitute x=1 in equation I

Then, we get

[tex]3(1)+y=7[/tex]

[tex]3+y=7[/tex]

[tex]y=7-3=4[/tex]

The two equation intersect at point (1,4).

Substitute x=0 in equation I

Then , we get y=7

Substitute y=0 then

[tex]3x=7[/tex]

[tex]x=\frac{7}{3}=2.3[/tex]

The equation I cut the x- axis at point (2.3,0)and y-axis at (0,7).

Substitute x=0 in equtaion II

[tex]2y=9[/tex]

[tex]y=\frac{9}{2}=4.5[/tex]

Substitute y=0

Then, we get

[tex]x=9[/tex]

Therefore, the equation II cut the x- axis at point (9,0) and y axis at point (0,4.5).

Substitute x=0 and y=0 in inequality Equation I

[tex]3(0)+0=0< 7[/tex]

It is true . Therefore, shaded region below the line.

Substitute x=0 and y=0 in inequality equation II

Then, [tex]0+2(0)=0 < 9[/tex]

It is true. Therefore, the shaded region below the line.

The feasible region is bounded.The feasible region bounded by (0,0),(0,4.5),(2.3,0) and (1,4).

At (0,4.5)

[tex]P=2(0)+4.5=4.5[/tex]

At (2.3,0)

[tex]P=2(2.3)+0=4.6[/tex]

At (1,4)

[tex]P=2(1)+4=6[/tex]

At (0,0)

[tex]P=2(0)+0=0[/tex]

Hence, maximum value of P is 6 at (1,4).

The  coordinates of d and e b. d = –2, e = 12.

To find the coordinates of points D and E, we need to remember that they are the same distance from point F, which has a coordinate of 5. This means D and E are equidistant from F on the number line. Let's check each option to see which one satisfies this condition:

Option a: d = -7, e = -1

The distance from -7 to 5 is 12.

The distance from -1 to 5 is 6.

Since the distances are not equal, this option is incorrect.

Option b: d = -2, e = 12

The distance from -2 to 5 is 7.

The distance from 12 to 5 is also 7.

Since the distances are equal, this option is correct.

Option c: d = 0, e = 5

The distance from 0 to 5 is 5.

The distance from 5 to 5 is 0.

Since the distances are not equal, this option is incorrect.

Option d: d = 8, e = 11

The distance from 8 to 5 is 3.

The distance from 11 to 5 is 6.

Since the distances are not equal, this option is incorrect.

Therefore, the correct answer is option b: d = -2, e = 12.

Answers

no more means less than or equal
so answer is
|h − 100| less than or equal to 4

Answer:

|h − 100| less than or equal to 4

Step-by-step explanation:

We know the difference between h, the actual height, and the designed height, 100, is no more than 4.

This means that the actual height h could be up to 4 more than the designed height or up to 4 less than the designed height.  This is why we use an absolute value inequality; this considers just the distance of 4 regardless of direction.

Since it can be "no more than" 4, we use less than or equal to; this gives us

|h − 100| less than or equal to 4
